ARTICLE 6
TAX MATTERS

6.1 Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Seller shall not, to the extent it may affect or relate to the Company: (i) make, change, or rescind any Tax election: (ii) amend any Tax Return; or (iii) take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action, or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Purchaser or the Company in respect of any taxable period that begins after the Closing Date or, in respect of any taxable period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(b) All transfer, documentary, excise, sales, use, stamp, duty, recording, property, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(c) Seller shall include the income of the Company (including any deferred items triggered into income by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13 and any excess loss account taken into income under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-19) on Seller’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income Taxes attributable to such income. For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Company to join in Seller’s consolidated federal income tax return (and state and local income tax returns, if permitted). All such Tax Returns shall be timely prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

(d) With respect to (i) Tax Returns for any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) all Straddle Period Tax Returns, in each case that are not described in Section 6.1(c) above (including Tax Returns for jurisdictions requiring separate reporting from Seller), Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law). Purchaser shall provide any such Tax Return to Seller for its review and comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including extensions). Purchaser shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Seller.

(e) Seller shall not elect to retain any net operating loss carryovers or capital loss carryovers of the Company. To the extent that any Affiliated Group recognizes a loss on the sale of the Company as a result of any transaction contemplated herein, Seller will take action as necessary to ensure that no Tax attributes of the Company are reduced by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall elect to carry forward any Tax attribute (including without limitation any net operating loss, charitable contribution, or other item) arising after the Closing Date that could otherwise be carried back into a Pre-Closing Period in which the Company was included in a consolidated return of an Affiliated Group. To the extent such carrybacks are required by law, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any refund, credit, or reduction in Tax realized by an Affiliated Group as a result of such carryback, except to the extent that such Affiliated Group would have received such refund, credit, or reduction in tax in the absence of such carryback.

(b) any Taxes resulting from the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Company or the Seller in this Agreement to be true and correct on the date hereof and at and as of the Closing Date (except those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date, which need only be true and correct as of such date);

(c) any Taxes resulting from any breach by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by the Company on or before the Closing Date, and any breach by the Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein; and

(d) reasonable legal fees and expenses, attributable to any item in clauses (a) - (c) of this Section 6.2.

6.3 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are allocated any Pre-Closing Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be: (a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, payroll, profits, wages, capital, or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer, or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, the amount of Taxes which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and (b) in the case of other Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

6.4 Termination of Tax Sharing. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date none of the Company, Purchaser, Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

6.5 Tax Proceedings.

(a) If any Governmental Entity asserts a Tax Proceeding, then the party first receiving notice of such Tax Proceeding promptly shall provide written notice thereof to the other party or parties hereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the party from whom indemnification is being sought of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the party from whom indemnification is being sought is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Entity.

(b) Seller shall, subject to Section 6.5(d), have the right to control, at Seller’s expense, any Tax Proceeding in respect of the Company, or in respect of Seller to the extent such Tax Proceeding relates to the Company, for any Pre-Closing Period; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each phase of such Tax Proceedings, (ii) Seller shall consult with Purchaser before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceedings, (iii) Seller shall consult with Purchaser and offer Purchaser an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceedings, (iv) Purchaser shall be entitled to participate, at its sole expense, in such Tax Proceedings and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceedings received from the relevant Governmental Entity, and (v) Seller shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceedings without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control any Tax Proceedings in respect of Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period of the Company; provided, however, that with respect to any such Tax Proceeding which could reasonably be expected to result in a Tax for which Seller is liable under Section 6.2: (i) Purchaser shall provide Seller with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each phase of such Tax Proceedings, (ii) Purchaser shall consult with Seller before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceedings, (iii) Purchaser shall consult with Seller and offer Seller an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceedings, (iv) Seller shall, at its sole expense, be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceedings and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceedings received from the relevant Governmental Entity, and (v) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceedings without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to control (i) any Tax Proceedings in respect of the Company not described in Section 6.5(b) or 6.5(c), and (ii) any Tax Proceedings in respect of the Company described in Section 6.5(b) if Seller fails to diligently defend such Tax Proceedings.

6.6 Tax Cooperation. Seller, Purchaser, the Company, their respective Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents, representatives, successors and assigns shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with (a) the preparation and filing of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Returns that include the business and operations of the Company and (b) any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the furnishing or making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis and records, books of account or other materials of or relating to the Company necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns or the defense against assertions of any Governmental Entity.

6.7 Coordination; Survival. Claims for indemnification with respect to Taxes, and the procedures with respect thereto, shall be governed exclusively by this Article 6 and, except with respect to Sections 9.1 and 9.4, the provisions of Article 9 shall not apply.

6.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The parties hereto agree to treat any payment made pursuant to Section 6.2 or Article 9 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

9.4 Claims.

(a) Direct Claims. Any Indemnified Person shall promptly deliver to Sellers, in the case of claims brought by a Seller Indemnified Person, and to Purchaser in the case of claims brought by a Purchaser Indemnified Person (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”), written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any matter which such Indemnified Person has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 (a “Claim”), within twenty (20) days of such determination, stating the nature of the Claim, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Person, a good-faith estimate of the Loss and method of computation thereof, to the extent then reasonably estimable, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the failure to so timely notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Person from the Responsible Party, if the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Person in writing within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice that the Responsible Party disputes such claim (the “Dispute Notice”), the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Responsible Party has disputed a claim for indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Person shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Person cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the terms of Section 10.7.

(b) Third-Party Claims. If an Action by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) is made against any Indemnified Person, and if such Indemnified Person intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Responsible Party of such claims in writing; provided that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Other than in connection with a Third-Party Claim by a Governmental Entity, the Responsible Party shall have the right to assume, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person at the expense of the Responsible Party, of the settlement or defense thereof), by sending written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person, which notice shall state that Responsible Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Person for the entirety of all Losses the Indemnified Person may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided that the Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Person to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Person; provided, further, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding an election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate co-counsel and to participate in the defense as counsel of record, if applicable, in such action or proceeding (and the Parties shall jointly control the defense), and the Responsible Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) there exists any actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person and the Responsible Party in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim that would make representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Responsible Party inappropriate, (ii) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, (iii) such Third-Party Claim is related to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, or (iv) the resolution of the Third-Party Claim could materially affect the operations or business of Purchaser, the Company or Purchaser’s Subsidiaries.

(c) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. So long as the Responsible Party is reasonably contesting any such Third-Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Person shall not pay or settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior consent of the Responsible Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Person in writing within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Person’s notice of a Third-Party Claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the Third-Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Responsible Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Person, enter into any settlement that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such Third-Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all Liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim or consent to entry of any judgment, (ii) does not involve only the payment of money damages, (iii) imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Person or (iv) includes any admission of wrongdoing or misconduct by the Indemnified Person.

(d) Cooperation. Any Indemnified Person shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Responsible Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of any Third-Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include reasonable access during normal business hours afforded to the Responsible Party and its agents and representatives to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Person of, records and information which have been identified by the Responsible Party as being reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

9.5 Limitations on Liability.

(a) In no event shall either Party be liable for any punitive, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity, and/or diminution of value relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

(b) No Indemnified Person may assert any Claim (other than with respect to a Fundamental Representation) against a Responsible Party unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses resulting from all Claims (other than with respect to a Fundamental Representation) exceed the Indemnity Basket. Once the aggregate amount of all Losses resulting from all Claims (other than with respect to a Fundamental Representation) exceed the Indemnity Basket, the Indemnified Person may, subject to Section 9.5(c), recover the entire amount of all Losses resulting from all Claims.

(c) No Indemnified Person may assert any Claim (other than with respect to a Fundamental Representation) against a Responsible Party to the extent the aggregate amount of all Losses relating to all Claims (other than with respect to a Fundamental Representation) is greater than the Indemnity Cap.

9.6 Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if an indemnity claim is payable by Sellers hereunder, at the option of Purchaser, the principal amount of the Twelve-Month Note shall be reduced by the amount of such indemnity claim. Such adjustments to the Twelve-Month Note shall be made upon demand by Purchaser submitted in writing at any time following the determination that an indemnity claim is payable by Sellers, but in each case effective as of the Closing Date. Within five (5) Business Days following such demand by Purchaser, Sellers shall cause the note to be submitted to Purchaser for cancellation. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of the note properly endorsed for cancellation, Purchaser shall issue a replacement note (if any principal balance remains) in substantially the same form as the original note being replaced, but modified to reflect any changes in the principal amount resulting from such adjustment, and thereafter all references herein to the “Twelve-Month Note” shall be deemed to refer to such replacement note. Any indemnity claims in excess of the principal amount of the Twelve-Month Note shall be immediately payable in cash. The right of offset provided in this Section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that may accrue as a result of any indemnity claim pursuant to this Article IX.

9.7 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other remedies.
