Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date will be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

5.11

Additional Covenants of Seller. As a material inducement for the agreement of Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and as additional consideration therefor, Seller covenants and agrees with Buyer as follows:

  

 

(a)

For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall, directly or indirectly, participate or engage anywhere in North America in any manner in a Competitive Business, including through the control of an entity that, directly or indirectly, is primarily engaged in a Competitive Business.

 

 

 

 

(b)

For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit the trade of, trade with, or provide any services to or conduct any other business or transaction with, any Person that is a customer or client of the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (each, a "Company Client") for any purpose relating to a Competitive Business or (ii) take any action to persuade or attempt to persuade any Company Client to terminate, withdraw from or not to purchase any services or products offered by the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

 

 

 

(c)

For a period of three (3) years commencing on the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit, induce or otherwise offer employment to, or engage in discussions regarding employment with, any person who is an employee, commissioned salesperson or exclusive consultant of, or who performs similar services for, the Company or any Subsidiary, or assist any third party with respect to any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.11(c) shall prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer, or has at least one year prior to the date of such hiring, resigned from the Company or such Subsidiary, so long as no employment discussions occurred prior to the time of such termination or resignation.

 

 

 

 

(d)

Seller agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.11 are tailored to protect the legitimate interests of the parties and are reasonable. If, however, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 5.11, a court holds that the restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing or are otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect by reason of its duration, definition of geographic area or scope of activity, or any other reason, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable or otherwise enforceable under such circumstances shall be deemed automatically substituted for the stated period, scope or area, but the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction and the remainder of this Section 5.11 shall remain in full force and effect.

  

 
30
 

  

 

(e)

Seller agrees that in the event of any breach of its covenants or agreements contained in this Section 5.11, Buyer may suffer substantial and irrevocable damage which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in an action of law and Buyer may not have an adequate remedy at law in such event and, therefore, in addition to any other remedy Buyer may have at law or in equity in the event of any such breach, Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief from any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of this Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving the amount of any actual damages to it resulting from such breach.

 

 

 

 

(f)

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 5.11, nothing herein shall prohibit Seller from investing in stock, bonds or other securities of any publicly traded entity (but without otherwise participating in the business of such entity) which engages in a Competitive Business; provided that such investment in any class of securities of such entity does not exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares or principal amount of such class.

 

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

 

6.1

Survival. All representations and warranties of the Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement) shall survive the Closing through and until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17 (Tax Matters), Section 3.18 (Environmental Matters) and Section 3.19 (Employee Benefits Plans) shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2 (Authorization and Binding Effect; Corporate Documentation), Section 3.3 (Title to the Purchased Shares), Section 3.4 (Capitalization), Section 3.5 (Subsidiaries), Section 3.27 (No Brokers), Section 4.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 4.2 (Authorization) and Section 4.4 (No Brokers) will survive indefinitely (such representations and warranties in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "Special Reps").

If written notice of a claim for breach of any representation or warranty has been given on or before the applicable Survival Date for such representation or warranty, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until the claim has been finally resolved. All covenants, obligations and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement), including any indemnification obligations, shall survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, a claim for indemnification under any subsection of Section 6.2 or 6.3 other than clauses (a) or (b) thereof may be made at any time.

  

 
31
 

  

6.2

Except as otherwise limited by this Article VI, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Representatives and any assignee, heir or successor thereof (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") from and against, and pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, any and all losses, Actions, Orders, Liabilities, damages (including consequential damages), diminution in value, Taxes, interest, penalties, Liens, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), (any of the foregoing, a "Loss" ) suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party arising in whole or in part out of or resulting directly or indirectly from:(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto) or any Ancillary Document; (b) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by or on behalf of Seller or, at or prior to the Closing, the Company contained in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto) or any Ancillary Document; (c) any underestimation of the amount of Indebtedness set forth in the Closing Statement; (d) any and all Liabilities for Taxes in connection with or arising out of the Company's or any Subsidiary’s assets, employees, securities, activities or business on or prior to the Closing Date (determined with respect to taxable periods that begin before and end after the Closing Date in accordance with the allocation provisions of Section 5.7(c)); (e) any Unpaid Transaction Expenses that remain unpaid following the Closing; (f) any Action by Person(s) who were holders of equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, including options, warrants, convertible debt or other convertible securities or other rights to acquire equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, prior to the Closing arising out of the sale, purchase, termination, cancellation, expiration, redemption or conversion of any such securities; (g) any matter disclosed on Schedule 3.15 of the Disclosure Schedules; or (h) the enforcement of the indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder.

 

 

6.3

Except as otherwise limited by this Article VI, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Representatives and any assignee, heir or successor thereof (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") from and against, and pay or reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses, suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, any Seller Indemnified Party arising in whole or in part out of or resulting directly or indirectly from: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto) or any Ancillary Document; or (b) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by or on behalf of Buyer or, after the Closing, the Company contained in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto) or any Ancillary Document.

 

 

6.4

Indemnification Procedures.

  

 

(a)

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "Indemnitee" shall refer to the Person or Persons indemnified, or entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to be indemnified, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.2 or Section 6.3, as the case may be, and (ii) the term "Indemnitor" shall refer to the Person having the actual or alleged obligation to indemnify pursuant to such provisions.

  

 
32
 

  

 

(b)

In the case of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement arising from a claim of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), an Indemnitee must give prompt written notice and, subject to the following sentence, in no case later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee's receipt of notice of such claim, to the Indemnitor of any claim of which such Indemnitee has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder. The failure to give such notice will not, however, relieve an Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually harmed thereby. The Indemnitor will have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim in its name and at its expense, and with counsel selected by the Indemnitor unless: (i) the Indemnitor fails to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice of such third party claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor; (ii) if the Indemnitor is Seller, (A) the applicable third party claimant is a Governmental Authority or a then-current customer of Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates or (B) an adverse judgment with respect to the claim will establish a precedent materially adverse to the continuing business interests of Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates; (iii) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in the conduct of such defense; (iv) the applicable third party alleges claims of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; (v) such claim is criminal in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee; or (vi) the claim seeks or is reasonably expected to seek damages or other amounts that would result in all or any portion of the Indemnitee's right to indemnification for such claim being limited by the Indemnification Cap. If the Indemnitor elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such claim, it will within fifteen (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee will, at the request and expense of the Indemnitor, cooperate in the defense of such claim. If the Indemnitor elects not to, or is not entitled under this Section 6.4(a) to, compromise or defend such claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim which has been or will be settled by the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee will not be required to refrain from paying any claim which has matured by a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and exercise thereof has been stayed, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the Indemnitee or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnitee material economic loss. The Indemnitor's right to direct the defense will include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any claim by a third party; provided that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnitee to agree to any settlement that that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and competition restrictions) by the Indemnitee (other than the delivery of a release for such claim and customary confidentiality obligations), except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent to be withheld, conditioned or delayed only for a good faith reason). Notwithstanding the Indemnitor's right to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnitor may not settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that consent by the Indemnitee to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnitee will have the right to participate in the defense of any claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense. The fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim which seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee, the fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitor.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Any indemnification claim that does not arise from a third-party claim must be asserted by a written notice to the Indemnitor setting forth with reasonable specificity the amount claimed and the underlying facts supporting such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice within which to accept or dispute such claim by providing written notice to the Indemnitee. If the recipient does not respond within such thirty (30) days, the recipient will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the Losses set forth in such notice and will have no further right to contest the validity of such notice. If the recipient responds within such thirty (30) days after the receipt of the notice and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the party delivering will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to it under this Agreement, any other Ancillary Documents or applicable Law.

 

 
33
 

  

 

(d)

Application and Release of Holdback Shares. Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy any indemnity obligation of Seller under this Article VI through the cancellation of such number of Holdback Shares as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the dollar amount of Buyer’s indemnity claim, by (ii) the price per share of Buyer’s common stock determined in accordance with Section 1.2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may elect to satisfy an indemnification claim made by a Buyer Indemnified Party by paying such amount in full or in part in cash. Until Seller receives notice of a claim for indemnification by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.4(b) of this Agreement, which notice specifies a number of Holdback Shares Buyer claims it is entitled to cancel by virtue of this Section 6.4(d), Seller shall have the right to exercise any voting or consent rights pertaining to the Holdback Shares and Buyer shall have no right to vote or consent with respect to any Holdback Shares. Seller shall have no right to sell, transfer, pledge or grant any interest (including any security interest) in any Holdback Shares held by Buyer. Buyer shall, in seeking relief in connection with any claim for indemnification, first look to the Holdback Shares as the sole and exclusive source of collateral for the payment of any amounts which may become payable in respect of the indemnification obligations of Seller before seeking any monetary payment in respect thereof.

  

6.5

Limitations on Indemnification. No Indemnitor shall be liable for an indemnification claim made under clause (a) of Section 6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be: (x) for which a claim for indemnification is not asserted hereunder on or before the applicable Survival Date; and (y) to the extent Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in the aggregate under clause (a) of Section 6.2 or by the Seller Indemnified Parties in the aggregate under clause (a) of Section 6.3, as applicable, exceed an amount equal to the $200,000 (the "Indemnification Cap"); provided , that with respect to any claims for breaches of any Special Reps, the Indemnification Cap shall be equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to (i) indemnification claims to the extent amounts are actually paid under insurance maintained by the Indemnitor (or any of its Affiliates) and (ii) indemnification claims based in whole or in part upon fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. The Indemnification Cap shall apply only to indemnification claims made under clause (a) of Section 6. 2 or 6.3 and shall not affect or apply to any other indemnification claim made pursuant to this Agreement, including those asserted under any other clause of Section 6.2 or 6.3.

 

 

6.6

General Indemnification Provisions. The amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts paid to the Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof as a reimbursement with respect to such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer hereunder, except to the extent that such waiver of subrogation would prejudice any applicable insurance coverage), including any indemnification received by the Indemnitee or such Affiliate from an unrelated party with respect to such Losses, net of the costs of collection and any related anticipated future increases in insurance premiums resulting from such Loss or insurance payment. No investigation or knowledge by Buyer or its Representatives, on the one hand, or the Seller or its Representatives, on the other hand, of a breach of a representation or warranty of the other set of parties shall affect such other set of parties' representations and warranties or the recourse available to such first party or any other Indemnitee of such first party under any provision of this Agreement (including Article VI) with respect thereto. For all purposes of this Article VI including for purposes determining whether there has been a breach giving rise to the indemnification claim and the amount of Losses, all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) or any Ancillary Document that are qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import or effect will be deemed to have been made without any such qualification. Seller will not have any right to seek contribution from the Company, any Subsidiary or Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to all or any part of Seller's indemnification obligations under this Article VI. The Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be required to make any claim against the Company in respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or any other obligation of the Company to Buyer hereunder or under any Ancillary Document to which the Company is a party and may solely seek action against Seller. Any Losses under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all indemnification payments will constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and no party may take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

  

 
34
 

  

6.7

Timing of Payment. Any indemnification obligation of an Indemnitor under this Article VI will be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the determination of such obligation in accordance with Section 6.4. All amounts owing to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VI shall be paid by Seller (either by cancellation of Holdback Shares, cash payment or any other method authorized by this Agreement, subject to the limitations and provisions contained herein.

 

 

6.8

Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 8.9, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 8.9 or to seek any remedy on account of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation by any party hereto.

This Agreement (including the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and deemed part of this Agreement), together with the Ancillary Documents constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

 

8.9

Dispute Resolution. Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or an application for enforcement of a resolution under this Section 8.9) arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a "Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 8.9. A party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other party's subject to such Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the notice of such Dispute being received by such other party's subject to such Dispute; the "Resolution Period"); provided, that if any Dispute would reasonably be expected to have become moot or otherwise irrelevant if not decided within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Dispute, then there shall be no Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved during the Resolution Period may immediately be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the ''AAA Procedures") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). Any party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period. To the extent that the AAA Procedures and this Agreement are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator nominated by the AAA promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the submission of the Dispute to the AAA and reasonably acceptable to each party subject to the Dispute, which arbitrator shall be a commercial lawyer with substantial experience arbitrating disputes under acquisition agreements. The arbitrator shall accept his or her appointment and begin the arbitration process promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) after his or her nomination and acceptance by the party's subject to the Dispute. The proceedings shall be streamlined and efficient. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Delaware. Time is of the essence. Each party shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days after confirmation of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to order any party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided, that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant party (or parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator's reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in the State of Oklahoma in the City of Tulsa. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

8.10

Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH AGREEMENTS, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW Existing OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 8.10 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY ON IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 8.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
