(b) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.

(i) Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period” and such Tax Returns, “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) that are required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date (taking into account extensions) or that are consolidated, combined, or unitary Tax Returns.

With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Returns (other than consolidated, combined, or unitary Tax Returns), at least 30 days before the due date of any Pre-Closing Tax Return, Seller will provide a draft copy of such Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment. Seller shall take into account any reasonable changes requested by Buyer before finalizing such Tax Return. Buyer shall not file or amend, or cause the Company to file or amend, any Pre-Closing Tax Return of the Company without the prior written consent of Seller, if such amendment would increase taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 12.2; provided, that Seller’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared any Tax Returns of the Company for a Straddle Period (“Straddle Period Tax Returns”) and any Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period required to be filed after the Closing Date (together with Straddle Period Tax Returns, “Post-Closing Tax Returns”) and shall provide draft copies of any such income or other material Post-Closing Tax Returns to Seller no less than 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (taking into account any applicable extensions). Seller shall have the right to review and comment on such Post-Closing Tax Returns, and Buyer shall take into account all reasonable changes requested by Seller. Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of the Tax for which it is responsible (to the extent such Tax has not already been satisfied by the Company prior to Closing by means of estimated or advance Tax payments or withholding or other adjustments) at least two Business Days prior to the due date of any Post-Closing Tax Return. Buyer shall thereafter cause the Company to execute and timely file such Post-Closing Tax Returns and shall timely remit any taxes payable with respect to such Post-Closing Tax Returns. Buyer shall not amend, or cause or permit the Company to amend, any Post-Closing Tax Returns without the prior written consent of Seller, if such amendment would increase taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 12.2; provided, that Seller’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For the avoidance of doubt, any Seller obligations to pay to Buyer any Tax amounts contained in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to have been paid and fulfilled to the extent any such amounts otherwise due under this Section 2.3 are included as a current liability of the Company in the calculation of the Company Net Working Capital.

(c) Tax Proceedings. Buyer and Seller shall each promptly notify the other in writing upon the receipt of notice from any Tax Authority of any pending or threatened audit or administrative or judicial proceeding related to taxes (a “Tax Proceeding”) of or with respect to the Company, its business, assets or operations for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period. Any failure to so notify the other party of any Tax Proceeding shall not relieve such other party of any liability with respect to such Tax Proceeding except to the extent such party was actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Seller shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Company relating solely to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Seller Controlled Tax Proceeding”); provided, however, that Seller (i) shall keep Buyer fully informed with respect to any Seller Controlled Tax Proceeding, (ii) shall consult with Buyer before taking any significant action in connection with a Seller Controlled Tax Proceeding as it relates to the Company, and (iii) will not settle, compromise or abandon any Seller Controlled Tax Proceeding without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall have the sole right to control any other Tax Proceedings with respect to the Company (“Buyer Controlled Tax Proceeding”), provided, however, that, in the case of a Buyer Controlled Tax Proceeding that includes a Straddle Period, Buyer (A) shall keep Seller fully informed with respect to any Buyer Controlled Tax Proceeding to the extent related to the Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period, as the case may be (B) shall consult with Seller before taking any significant action in connection with any Buyer Controlled Tax Proceeding to the extent related to the Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period, as the case may be, and (C) will not settle, compromise or abandon any Buyer Controlled Tax Proceeding without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), if Seller could reasonably be expected to be required to indemnify Buyer with respect to such settlement, compromise or abandonment. Section 12.5 shall not apply to any Tax Proceedings.

(d) Tax Refunds. All refunds of taxes received (or realized by way of a reduction of taxes otherwise payable) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) that are attributable to Excluded Taxes paid or borne by Seller or the Company, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses attributable to the obtaining of such refund and any tax imposed on the Company as a result of the receipt of such refund and payment to Seller hereunder, shall be for the account of Seller and shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within 30 days of the receipt of such refund. Buyer shall provide Seller with reasonable substantiation of its out-of-pocket expenses and net tax cost associated with receipt of such refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to any refunds of taxes reflected as a current asset in calculating Company Net Working Capital or attributable to a carryback of tax attributes arising in a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, which refunds shall be for the account of Buyer. To the extent any refund paid by Buyer to Seller under this Section 2.3(d) is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Tax Authority, Seller agrees to promptly repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Tax Authority, to Buyer.

(e) Tax Cooperation. To the extent relevant to the Company, its business, assets or operations, each party shall (i) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return and the conduct of any Tax Proceeding and (ii) retain for the longer of the applicable statute of limitations, including extension of such statute of limitations, or seven years following the Closing Date and provide the other with all records or other information that may be relevant to the preparation of any Tax Returns or the conduct of any Tax Proceeding. Neither party shall dispose of records or other information pertaining to (ii) above without first notifying the other party of such intent.

(f) Withholding Taxes. Buyer shall be entitled to withhold any taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld from the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and Section 12.6 in accordance with such sections, provided that, with respect to withholding of Israeli Tax, in the event that a payee under this Agreement provides Buyer with a Valid Certificate, then the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the ITO, if any, from the applicable payment under this Agreement payable to such payee shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Certificate; and provided further, that as soon as practicable upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide Seller with withholding documentation showing the amount of taxes withheld in customary form. All such amounts so deducted or withheld shall be treated as having been paid to Seller for all purposes under this Agreement to the extent such amounts are paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority. To the extent Seller has not provided a Valid Certificate to Buyer at least one Business Day prior to the Closing (or, with respect to the Holdback Cash, one Business Day prior to any Release Date, to the extent a previously provided Valid Certificate is not valid on any Release Date), then the consideration otherwise payable to Seller pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or (c) shall, in each case, be transferred to and retained by the Paying Agent for further distribution to Seller upon Seller providing the Paying Agent with such Valid Certificate; provided, however, (i) that Seller shall only transfer funds to the Paying Agent if Seller has been provided with a written consent, ruling or other certification issued by the ITA providing that there is no withholding obligation with respect to the transfer of funds to the Paying Agent, and (ii) the Seller shall bear all costs and expenses of the Paying Agent. For the purpose of the Agreement, “Valid Certificate” means a valid and applicable (in light of the timing, scope and the nature of the payment) certification or ruling issued by the ITA, on the basis of an application to the ITA which Buyer has been provided an opportunity to review and comment on, which (x) exempts Buyer and the Company from the duty to withhold Israeli Taxes with respect to amounts payable to such payee under this Agreement, (y) determines the applicable rate of Israeli Tax to be withheld from amounts payable to such payee under this Agreement, or (z) provides any other instructions regarding the payment or withholding with respect to the consideration payable to such payee. Any withholding made in NIS with respect to payments made hereunder in dollars shall be calculated based on a conversion rate on the Closing Date and in such manner as Buyer reasonably determines to be in compliance with the Applicable Law and any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable payee and deducted from payments to be made to such payee.

(g) Tax Sharing Agreements. To the extent relating to the Company, Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated, on or before the Closing, all tax sharing agreements or arrangements (other than this Agreement), if any, to which the Company, on the one hand, and Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are parties, so that neither Seller or any of its Affiliates nor the Company shall have any rights or obligations thereunder after the Closing.

2.4. Working Capital Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment.

(i) At least three Business Days before the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Company Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Company Net Working Capital”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, a calculation of Estimated Company Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Company Net Working Capital Statement”), and a certificate of an officer of Seller that the Estimated Company Net Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with the principles set forth in the definition of Company Net Working Capital.

(ii) The “Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Company Net Working Capital minus the Target Net Working Capital. If the Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Share Purchase Consideration shall be increased by the amount of the Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Adjustment is a negative number, the Share Purchase Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the Closing Adjustment.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth its calculation of Company Net Working Capital (“Closing Company Net Working Capital”), which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, a calculation of Closing Company Net Working Capital (the “Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement”) and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Buyer that the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with the principles set forth in the definition of Company Net Working Capital. If Buyer does not deliver such statement by such deadline then the Estimated Company Net Working Capital Statement shall become the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement (which statement shall remain subject to examination and objection by Seller in accordance with Section 2.4(c)).

(ii) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Closing Company Net Working Capital minus the Estimated Closing Company Net Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Buyer shall recover such amount out of the Holdback Cash.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement. During the Review Period, Seller and Seller’s accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants selected by Buyer, subject to Seller’s reasonable approval, other than Seller’s accountants or Buyer’s accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Article 12 of this Agreement), the procedure set forth herein shall be the sole method of resolving any matter that could have been resolved pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall (A) be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Company Net Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be.

(d) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Share Purchase Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

2.5. Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Closing, Buyer or Seller reasonably believes that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are necessary to consummate the Share Purchase or to carry out the transactions set forth in this Agreement, then the Company, Seller, Buyer and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things necessary to consummate the Share Purchase.

6.6. Litigation Matter. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing promptly after learning of any Action initiated by or against the Company, or known to be threatened in writing against the Company or any of its directors, officers or employees in their capacity as such.

6.7. Access to Information; Consultation.

Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7, in the event that Seller, the Company or its Representatives would otherwise be required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7 to furnish any person with, or to provide access to any person to, information about the Company where such access to information would reasonably be expected to involve the waiver of any attorney-client privilege, Seller shall notify Buyer of such, and the parties will coordinate with each other in good faith such that the provision of any such information or access to information does not result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege.

6.8. Notices to Employees. Seller shall cause the Company to give all notices and other information required to be given to the Relevant Service Providers, and any applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other applicable Contracts.

6.9. Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all the conditions precedent set forth in Article 10 as promptly as practicable, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

6.10. Intercompany Arrangements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood and agreed as follows:

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, cause any Debt of the Company (other than Company Intercompany Liabilities) to be repaid and/or assumed by Seller or its Affiliates, such that the Company Closing Debt will be as close to zero as reasonably practicable.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, cause the Company Intercompany Liabilities to be extinguished in their entirety (including through a reasonably required dividend or capital contribution).

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, cause the Company Intercompany Assets to be extinguished in their entirety (including through a reasonably required dividend or capital contribution).

(d) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, either, as determined in the Seller’s sole discretion: (i) if an exemption has been granted pursuant to the Distribution Withholding Tax Application, to promptly distribute the Excess Company Closing Cash in accordance with any instruction provided by the ITA or agreement reached with the ITA with respect to the Distribution Withholding Tax Application; or (ii) if an exemption has not yet been granted pursuant to the Distribution Withholding Tax Application, to distribute the Excess Company Closing Cash into an escrow account in accordance with Applicable Law to be held by an escrow agent that Seller elects in its sole discretion subject to an escrow agreement; provided that (1) any such escrow arrangement and escrow agreement shall not permit the distribution of any Excess Company Closing Cash at any time to Buyer, the Company, or any person other than Seller or the ITA; (2) the ITA shall have confirmed in writing that the transfer of the Excess Company Closing Cash to the escrow agent is not subject to withholding tax; and (3) the Seller shall bear all costs and expenses of the escrow agent and escrow arrangements. In any event where any part of the Excess Company Closing Cash is paid to the ITA and not to Seller, whether by the Company in accordance with any instruction provided by the ITA or agreement reached with the ITA with respect to the Distribution Withholding Tax Application, or by an escrow agent, Seller shall have the right, at Seller’s sole discretion and sole expense, to seek any remedy against the ITA to refund/claim such amount to be paid to Seller; Buyer and the Company shall cooperate fully with Seller to the extent their assistance and cooperation is required for such claim.

6.11. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) As a material inducement and consideration for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, for a period of two years following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Parent and Seller agree that each will not, and it will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, compete with the Company Business as presently conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted (“Restricted Business”) anywhere in the world (the “Restricted Territory”).

(b) As a material inducement and consideration for each party to enter into this Agreement, each party agrees that, during the Restricted Period, each such party shall not, and each such party shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit any employees or consultants of the other party or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company following the Closing) (“Disallowed Workers”). However, this Section 6.11 will not prevent either party from making generalized searches for employees or service providers by causing to be placed any general advertisement or similar notices in media and in other forms directed to the general public (including newspapers, television, radio and Internet job boards), provided that such searches are not targeted specifically at the other party’s Disallowed Workers.

(c) Each of the parties hereto agree that the duration and geographic scope of the non-compete and the non-solicitation provisions set forth in this Section 6.11 are reasonable. If any covenant in this Section 6.11 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or any other Governmental Authority, it is agreed and understood that such covenant will not be voided but rather will be construed to impose limitations upon the activities of Seller that are no greater than allowable under then applicable laws. In the event of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.11, either party will be entitled to an injunction against the other party and any of the other party’s Subsidiaries restraining such breach in addition to any other remedies provided by law or equity. In addition, in the event of any such breach, in addition to any such remedies, the Restricted Period for the breaching party as it applies to a non-breaching party shall be automatically extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period from the date on which such breach shall have first occurred through the date as of which such breach shall have been fully cured, provided, however that such non-breaching party shall have notified the breaching party of any such breach within fifteen days after of such non-breaching party reasonably believes a breach has occurred.

6.12. Employee Benefit Matters. Parent and Seller hereby consent to the continued employment of the Relevant Service Providers by the Company (or Buyer or a subsidiary or other Affiliate of Buyer) as employees or independent contractors and waives, with respect to the employment or engagement by the Company (or Buyer or a subsidiary or other Affiliate of Buyer) of such Relevant Service Providers, any claims or rights Parent or Seller may have against the Company (or Buyer or a subsidiary or other Affiliate of Buyer) or any such Relevant Service Providers under any non-competition or non-solicitation, or as applicable solely to the Company Business (and not Seller’s other business not contemplated to transfer hereunder), any confidentiality, employment, or consulting agreement, to the extent such Continuing Service Provider will perform services for Buyer (or a subsidiary or other Affiliate of Buyer, including the Company).

Article 7
Buyer Covenants

Buyer covenants and agrees with Seller as follows:

7.1. Advice of Changes. Buyer shall promptly advise Seller in writing of (a) any events, circumstances and facts occurring subsequent to the Agreement Date that would render any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article 5 untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 9.1 would not be satisfied, (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 9.2 would not be satisfied or (c) any change, event, circumstance, condition or effect that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the other conditions set forth in Article 9 not to be satisfied.

7.2. Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all of the conditions precedent that are set forth in Article 9 as promptly as practicable, and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.3. Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Buyer shall cause the Company to retain each Relevant Service Provider who is an employee or contractor of the Company immediately prior to the Closing (each, a “Continuing Service Provider”).

(b) During the one-year period following the Closing (or, if earlier, the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Service Provider), Buyer shall cause the Company to provide each Continuing Service Provider with cash compensation and benefits consistent with Buyer’s policies and, for such period, the cash compensation to be paid to Continuing Service Providers shall be no less than the cash compensation of such employees as in effect prior to the Closing.

(c) Buyer further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall and shall cause any Affiliate of Buyer to grant all of its Continuing Service Providers credit for any service with the Company or its affiliate or predecessor earned prior to the Closing Date for eligibility and vesting purposes under each benefit plan offered to Continuing Service Providers following the Closing, provided that such service credit does not result in duplication of benefits for the same period of service. In addition, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which, for clarity, shall not require Buyer to amend or adopt any benefit programs or pre-existing benefit plans) to cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) of the Company to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, co-insurance and maximum out of pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable Company Benefit Arrangement that may be established or maintained by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer after the Closing in the year of initial participation.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Section 7.3 will not be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Buyer, the Company or any entities controlled by or under common control with Buyer or the Company to terminate any Continuing Service Provider at any time and for any reason; (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 7.3, require Buyer, the Company or any entities controlled by or under common control with Buyer or the Company to continue any Company Benefit Arrangement or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person; or (iv) establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, of Buyer or the Company. No provision of this Section 7.3 shall be construed to create any right to any compensation or benefits on the part of any Continuing Service Provider or other future, present or former employee of Buyer, Company or the entities controlled by or under common control with Buyer or the Company. No Person other than Parent or the Seller shall have the right to enforce the provisions under this Section 7.3.

7.4. U.S. Tax Election. Buyer shall not make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to the purchase and sale of the Company Shares pursuant to this Agreement without the advance written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.

(a) Each of Buyer (and its Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall file Pre-Closing or Post-Closing notification filings, forms and submissions with any other Governmental Authority that Buyer reasonably elects, and the Company will submit the OCS Notice as soon as practicable following notice from Buyer or Seller, as applicable.

(c) Each of Buyer (and its Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall promptly inform the other of any material communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with any filings or investigations with, by or before any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any proceedings initiated by a private party.

If the Share Purchase is consummated, the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement and Buyer Closing Certificates shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.2 (Power, Authorization and Validity) (collectively, the “Buyer Fundamental Representations” and, together with Seller Fundamental Representations, the “Fundamental Representations”) will remain operative and in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the expiration date of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the subject matter of such representations and warranties; provided further, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article 12 in respect of any claim based upon any failure of a representation or warranty that is set forth in a Notice of Claim delivered prior to the expiration date of the applicable Claims Period with respect to such representation or warranty shall be affected by the expiration date of such representation or warranty. If the Share Purchase is consummated, all covenants of the parties (including the covenants set forth in Article 6 and Article 7) shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except to the extent such covenants provide that they are to be performed after the Closing, in which case such covenants shall survive until they are fully performed; provided, however, that no right to indemnification pursuant to Article 12 in respect of any claim based upon any breach of a covenant that is set forth in a Notice of Claim delivered prior to the expiration date of the Claims Period with respect to such covenant shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant. For purposes of this Article 12, “applicable statute of limitations” means, with respect to any particular representation or warranty, the longest limitation period that may apply (under any Applicable Law) to any claim or action (asserted or brought by any Buyer Indemnified Person against Parent or Seller, or by or against any other Person or asserted or brought by any Seller Indemnified Person against Buyer, or by or against any other Person) that relates in any way to such representation or warranty or that constitutes, gives rise to or relates in any way to any actual or alleged inaccuracy in or breach of such representation or warranty.

12.2. Agreement to Indemnify.

(a) From and after the Closing, Parent and Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company), and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, direct and indirect stockholders, partners, agents and representatives (each hereinafter referred to individually as an “Buyer Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all damages, judgments, settlements, losses, liabilities, fees, costs, taxes, payments, penalties, interest, fines and expenses (including costs of investigation, defense and settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professionals’ and experts’ fees, and court, arbitrator or mediator costs (including such fees and costs incurred in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Article 12)) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Damages”) based upon, relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (the “Buyer Indemnifiable Matters”): any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Seller in this Agreement other than Seller Fundamental Representations; any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by Parent or Seller in this Agreement; any breach or inaccuracy of any Seller Fundamental Representations; Excluded Taxes (to the extent that such Damages in respect of Excluded Taxes did not arise or result solely from Buyer’s failure to be in compliance with any covenant or agreement in Section 2.3); unpaid transaction expenses of the Seller or the Company (“Unpaid Seller Expenses”); any Company Closing Debt; any costs, expenses, taxes, penalties or any losses whatsoever incurred in connection with the distribution of Excess Closing Cash as described in Section 6.10(d) (the “Cash Distribution”); that certain Corporate Supply Agreement by and between Sigma Designs, Inc. and Arris Enterprises, Inc., dated December 16, 2013 (the “Arris Agreement”); and any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or Willful Breach by or on behalf of the Parent or Seller.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, direct and indirect stockholders, partners, agents and representatives (each hereinafter referred to individually as a “Seller Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Damages based upon, relating to, arising out of or resulting from any of the following (the “Seller Indemnifiable Matters” and, together with the Buyer Indemnifiable Matters, the “Indemnifiable Matters”): any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement other than Buyer Fundamental Representations; any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement; any breach or inaccuracy of any Buyer Fundamental Representations; any Continuing Service Provider Liabilities owed by Seller; and any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or Willful Breach by or on behalf of Buyer.

(c) Solely for the purposes of determining the amount of the Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, qualifications relating to materiality, material adverse effect or Material Adverse Effect shall be disregarded provided, however, that the operation of this Section 12.2(c) shall not alter the meaning of the defined terms such as “Company Material Contract” to “Company Contract” or “Material Adverse Effect” to “Effect” for such purposes.

12.3. Limitations.

(a) No Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification in respect of any claim for indemnification that is made pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.2(b) (and does not involve (i) a Fundamental Representation, (ii) Excluded Taxes, (iii) Unpaid Seller Expenses, (iv) Company Closing Debt, (v) the Cash Distribution, (vi) the Arris Agreement, or (vii) fraud, intentional misrepresentation or Willful Breach) unless and until the amount of Damages that have finally been determined to be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.2(b) exceeds US$125,000 (the “Threshold”). Once the Threshold has been reached, the Indemnified Person will be eligible to indemnified, subject to and in accordance with this Article 12, for all Damages (including the amount of the Threshold). For the avoidance of doubt, the Threshold shall not apply to indemnification in respect of any claim for indemnification that is made under Section 12.2(a)(iii)-(ix).

(b) Seller’s maximum indemnification obligations under this Article 12 shall be (i) an aggregate of US$4,200,000 under Section 12.2(a)(i) (the “Seller General Indemnification Limit”), and (ii) an aggregate of $28,000,000 (the “Seller Fundamental Indemnification Limit”) under Section 12.2(a)(ii)-(iii) (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Matters”). Any amount paid by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Article 12 shall reduce the remaining amounts under both the Seller General Indemnification Limit and the Seller Fundamental Indemnification Limit (other than amounts paid by or on behalf of Seller with respect to Excluded Taxes, Unpaid Seller Expenses, Company Closing Debt, the Cash Distribution, the Arris Agreement, or fraud, intentional misrepresentation or Willful Breach). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 12.3(b) shall apply to Seller’s indemnification obligations with respect to Excluded Taxes, Unpaid Seller Expenses, Company Closing Debt, the Cash Distribution, the Arris Agreement, or fraud, intentional misrepresentation or Willful Breach.

(c) Buyer’s maximum indemnification obligations under this Article 12 shall be (i) an aggregate of US$2,800,000 under Section 12.2(b)(i)-(ii) (the “Buyer General Indemnification Limit”) and (ii) an aggregate of $28,000,000 (the “Buyer Fundamental Indemnification Limit”) under Section 12.2(b)(iii)-(v) (collectively, the “Buyer Fundamental Matters”). Any amount paid by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Article 12 shall reduce the remaining amounts under both the Buyer General Indemnification Limit and the Buyer Fundamental Indemnification Limit.

(d) The Buyer Indemnified Persons shall first seek recovery of Damages from the Holdback Cash.

(e) Damages shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under existing insurance policies (in each case calculated, to the extent reasonably feasible, net of any actual collection costs, deductibles, co-payments, premium adjustments and retrospectively rated premiums).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Seller shall be liable for Damages relating to any matter to the extent that the amount of such Damages for such matter has been included as a downward adjustment in the calculation of the Share Purchase Consideration.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Seller shall be liable for any adverse consequences (including tax consequences on Pre-Closing Tax Periods) resulting from any post-Closing activity of the Company, Buyer, or any of their Affiliates, except to the extent (i) such activity is otherwise required by Applicable Law or this Agreement, or (ii) such adverse consequences result from any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement.

(h) Following the Closing, this Article 12 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for claims under this Agreement or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.3(h) shall affect the parties’ rights (x) to specific performance or (y) in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or Willful Breach.

12.4. Notice of Claim.

(a) An “Indemnified Person” means a Buyer Indemnified Person or a Seller Indemnified Person, as applicable, seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 12. An “Indemnifying Person” means any party providing indemnification pursuant to this Article 12.

(b) As used herein, the term “Claim” means a claim for indemnification by any Indemnified Person for Damages under this Article 12. An Indemnified Person may give notice of a Claim under this Agreement, whether for its own Damages or for Damages incurred by any other Indemnified Person, and an Indemnified Person shall promptly give written notice of such Claim executed by an officer of such Indemnified Person (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Indemnifying Person after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of the existence of any actual claim or circumstance that could reasonably give rise to a potential claim by an Indemnified Person for indemnification from the Indemnifying Person under this Article 12, arising out of or resulting from (i) any Indemnifiable Matter listed in Section 12.2 or (ii) the assertion, whether orally or in writing, against any Indemnified Person of a claim, demand or Action brought by a third party against such Indemnified Person (in each such case, a “Third-Party Claim”) that is based on, arises out of or relates to a circumstance such Indemnified Person reasonably believes could be any Indemnifiable Matter.

(c) Seller Fundamental Matters and Buyer Fundamental Matters are collectively referred to herein as “Fundamental Matters.” The period during which claims may be initiated (the “Claims Period”) for indemnification for Damages arising out of or resulting from the Indemnifiable Matters (other than the Fundamental Matters) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Claims Period for indemnification for Damages arising out of or resulting from Fundamental Matters shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date of expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(d) Each Notice of Claim by an Indemnified Person given pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall contain the following information:

(i) a good faith, non-binding preliminary estimate of the aggregate amount of Damages that have arisen or are expected to arise from such Claim; and

(ii) a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnified Person), of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to such Damages based on the Indemnified Person’s good faith belief thereof, including (x) the basis for such anticipated liability and the nature of the breach to which such Damages are related, (y) the identity of any third party claimant and (z) copies of any formal demand or complaint from any third party claimant.

Such Notice of Claim (x) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of the Indemnified Person as of the date thereof, (y) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Notice of Claim and (z) may be updated and amended from time to time by an Indemnified Person by delivering an updated or amended Notice of Claim, so long as the delivery of the original Notice of Claim is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Notice of Claim; provided, that all claims for Damages properly set forth in a Notice of Claim or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period.

(e) No delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Person in giving the Indemnifying Person a Notice of Claim shall relieve the Indemnifying Person from any of its obligations under this Article 12 unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced thereby in terms of the amount of Damages the Indemnifying Person is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for.

12.5. Defense of Third-Party Claims. Any Third-Party Claim shall be subject to the following procedures (provided, with respect to Tax Proceedings, to the extent of any conflict with Section 2.3, Section 2.3 shall control):

(a) Defense by Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person will have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense with reputable legal counsel of its choosing (provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person) by delivering written notice of such election, to the Indemnified Person within 15 Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Claim describing such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such Third-Party Claim prior to the time that it receives notice from Indemnitor as contemplated by the preceding sentence. If Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this subsection (a), then:

(i) The Indemnifying Person shall keep the Indemnified Person informed of all material developments relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not waive any privilege.

(ii) The Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim at its own cost and expense, unless the Indemnified Person shall reasonably determine that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will be indemnified subject to the applicable liability limit of the Indemnifying Person therefor under Section 12.3 in the event the Indemnified Persons does not elect to assume the defense itself pursuant to Section 12.5(b), but such separate counsel shall not be entitled to determine or conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(iii) The Indemnifying Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless (1) such judgment, settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to the claim in favor of the Indemnified Person and does not involve any finding or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Person, and (2) the sole relief provided in connection with such judgment, settlement or compromise is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person concurrently with the effectiveness thereof or any other relief that is enforceable only against Indemnifying Person.

(b) Defense by Indemnified Person. In the event that the Indemnifying Person declines to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person will have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choosing, provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Person. If the Indemnified Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this subsection (b), then:

(i) The Indemnified Person shall keep Indemnifying Person informed of all material developments relating to such Third-Party Claim. Indemnifying Person shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not waive any privilege.

(ii) Indemnifying Person may retain separate co-counsel and participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim at its own cost and expense, but shall not be entitled to determine or conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(iii) The Indemnified Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless (1) such judgment, settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to the claim in favor of the Indemnified Person and does not involve any finding or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnifying Person, and (2) the Indemnified Person stipulates in writing that there are no Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article 12 in connection with such judgment, settlement or compromise.

(c) Cooperation. The Indemnifying Person, Seller, Parent, the Company and the Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by (i) furnishing copies of documents, records or other information reasonably requested by the other party and (ii) providing access to employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is reasonably necessary to assist in the evaluation and defense of such Third-Party Claim (provided that any such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business activities of either party or violate attorney-client privilege).

12.6. Release of Holdback Cash. On the date that is two years following the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), any amounts of then-remaining Holdback Cash shall be distributed by the Buyer to the Seller; provided that the amount of the Holdback Cash that is then subject to bona fide claims specified in any Notice of Claim delivered prior to the Release Date shall not be paid until such claims have been resolved.

12.7. Resolution of Notice of Claim. Each Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified Person shall be resolved as follows:

(a) Uncontested Claims. If, within 30 days after a Notice of Claim is received by Indemnifying Person, Indemnifying Person does not contest such Notice of Claim in writing to Indemnified Person as provided in Section 12.7(b), Indemnifying Person shall be conclusively deemed to have consented, on behalf of Indemnifying Person, to the recovery by the Indemnified Person of the full amount of Damages specified in the Notice of Claim in accordance with this Article 12, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Contested Claims. If Indemnifying Person gives Indemnified Person written notice contesting all or any portion of a Notice of Claim (a “Contested Claim”), which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such objections, within the 30 day period specified in Section 12.7(a), then the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall attempt in good faith for 30 days from the notice of a Contested Claim to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Contested Claim. If the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are able to resolve such Contested Claim, then Indemnified Person and Indemnifying Person shall enter into a written settlement agreement with respect to the resolution of the Contested Claim. If the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person are unable to resolve such Contested Claim, then either the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person may bring suit with regards to the Contested Claim in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 13.2.

(c) Payment of Damages. Subject to Section 12.3(d), the payment of any Claim pursuant to this Article 12 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Persons, within five Business Days after the resolution of a Notice of Claim in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.7.

12.8. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Indemnifying Person and Indemnified Person agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any payment received pursuant to this Article 12 as adjustments to the Share Purchase Consideration for all tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

12.9. Other Indemnification Matters. Seller and Parent covenant and agree to not seek indemnification, contribution or reimbursement from the Company or Buyer for or by reason of, any matter arising out of or relating to the operation of the Company Business prior to the Closing Date including pursuant to any intercompany arrangements providing for indemnification, contribution or reimbursement in favor of Seller or Parent from the Company in existence on the Closing Date.

Article 13
Miscellaneous

13.1. Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of California, irrespective of its conflicts of law principles, shall govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.

13.2. Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, each party to the dispute will attempt to negotiate a resolution to the dispute in good faith for not less than ten Business Days. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either party may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on one arbitrator within ten Business Days, then Buyer and Seller shall each suggest one arbitrator, each of which arbitrators shall be independent and have at least ten years relevant experience, and within 5 Business Days of such selection, such two arbitrators shall mutually agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. However, if either Buyer or Seller fails to designate an arbitrator within 30 calendar days after the filing of a demand for arbitration (or similar document), the arbitration shall proceed with the one arbitrator timely designated. The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions that shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(b) Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara, California under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. In any arbitration hereunder between an Indemnified Party on one hand and an Indemnifying Party (or any third-party with rights arising hereunder) on the other hand, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party in the event that the arbitrators award such parties less than the sum of one half (1/2) of the disputed amount, plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the Indemnifying Party and/or any third-party with rights arising hereunder shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration, and the expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration.

13.3. Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, that, without such consent, Buyer may transfer or assign, in whole or in part or from time to time, its rights and/or obligations hereunder to (i) one or more of its Affiliates, or (ii) following the Closing, any successor in interest to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or equities of Buyer; provided, however, that no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder; provided, further that without the consent of Buyer, Seller may transfer or assign, in whole, its rights and obligations hereunder to any successor in interest or a purchaser of Seller (directly or indirectly by way of purchase of a controlling Affiliate of Seller) by way of acquisition of shares, merger, consolidation or the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of Seller (or of a controlling Affiliate of Seller), provided such purchaser or successor in interest and its ultimate parent entity expressly assume in writing Seller’s obligations hereunder in their entirety. If any of the Seller Parties enters into any agreement or arrangement with respect to, or effects, any proposed sale, exchange, dividend or other distribution or liquidation of all or a significant portion of its assets in one or a series of transactions, except for any such agreements or arrangements or any such transactions that are contemplated by or effected or to be effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement and in which Silicon Labs is the purchaser in such transaction, such party shall notify Buyer in writing prior to entering into such an agreement or arrangement and shall provide for the assumption of its obligations under this Agreement by the purchaser or transferee of such assets or, if requested by any of the Seller Parties, another party reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

13.4. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

13.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile, PDF, e-mail or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as signatories.

13.6. Other Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction.

13.7. Amendments and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a writing signed by Buyer and Seller, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default. At any time prior to the Closing, each of the parties hereto, by action taken by their respective Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to it contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for its benefit contained herein. No such waiver or extension shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party against whom such waiver or extension is asserted. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

13.8. Expenses. Whether or not the Share Purchase is consummated, all transaction expenses shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

13.9. Attorneys’ Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court (including costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.

13.10. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either hand delivered in person, sent by certified or registered first-class mail, postage pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service. In addition, each party shall send an email copy of such notice at the email addresses set forth below but such email shall not constitute notice for purposes of this Agreement, except in such cases that notice or other communications are required under this Agreement within 24 hours or less in which case an email will be sufficient to constitute such notice upon confirmation of receipt. Such notices and other communications shall be effective upon receipt if hand delivered or sent by facsimile, three days after mailing if sent by mail, and one day after dispatch if sent by express courier, to the following addresses, or such other addresses as any party may notify the other parties in accordance with this Section 13.10:

No provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor shall be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, employee, consultant, contractor, Affiliate, equity holder or partner of any party hereto or any other Person unless specifically provided otherwise in this Section 13.14 and, except as so provided, all provisions hereof shall be personal solely between the parties to this Agreement; for clarity, Article 12 is intended to benefit the Indemnified Persons, who shall be considered third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement with full rights of enforcement as though each such Indemnified Person was a signatory to this Agreement.

13.15. Confidentiality.

(a) Seller and Buyer, or an Affiliate of such party, each confirm that they have entered into the non-disclosure agreement dated September 30, 2017 (the “NDA”) and that they are each bound by, and shall abide by, the provisions of the NDA. If this Agreement is terminated, the NDA shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and all copies of documents containing confidential information of a disclosing party shall be returned by the receiving party to the disclosing party or be destroyed, as provided in the NDA. The existence and terms of this Agreement and the documents and instruments contemplated hereby and thereby, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, shall constitute “Evaluation Material” under the NDA; provided, however, Buyer and Seller each agree that Seller’s parent company shall be authorized and intends to file this Agreement (in its entirety except the Seller Disclosure Letter) on a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission promptly following execution of this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller shall be authorized and intends to distribute a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby promptly following execution of this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to consult and discuss in good faith with the other party the form and content of such press release prior to its release and consider in good faith any reasonable changes that are suggested by the other party prior to releasing or making such press release.

13.16. Waiver of Conflicts.

(a) Solely as between Buyer and Seller (and not any third party), Buyer waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause the Company to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of Seller or any officer, director or employee of the Company (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated thereby, by any legal counsel currently representing the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated thereby (the “Current Representation”).

(b) Buyer waives and will not assert, and agrees to cause the Company to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between any legal counsel of the Company and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Buyer, and following the Closing, with the Company related to this Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege shall be retained by Seller; provided that the foregoing waiver and acknowledgement of retention shall not extend to any communication not involving this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or to communications with any Person other than the Designated Persons, or to communications that constitute evidence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Designated Person.

13.17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto other than the NDA. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

13.18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
