2.4.7        Withholding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and Escrow Agent will each be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payment payable by it pursuant to this Agreement to any Person, including payments made under the Escrow Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, and to collect any necessary Tax forms, including Forms W-8 or W-9, as applicable, or any similar information from any recipient of payments hereunder.  In the event that any amount is so deducted and withheld, and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amount will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom the payment from which such amount was withheld was made.  Promptly upon any determination by Buyer that Buyer believes an amount must be withheld under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, Buyer shall notify Sellers’ Representative in writing of such belief and the basis therefor and shall cooperate with Sellers’ Representative in using commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce such withholding requirement.

5.2.5        Buyer shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 5.2.

5.3           Notification of Certain Developments.  From time to time from the date hereof until the Closing, upon any Seller or the Company obtaining knowledge that (a) a representation or warranty made by Sellers or the Company in this Agreement was not true when made or (b) a representation or warranty made by Sellers or the Company in this Agreement was true when made but has been rendered inaccurate by events occurring or circumstances arising after the date hereof, Sellers shall promptly supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to such representation or warranty (each a “Schedule Supplement”) and deliver such Schedule Supplement to Buyer.  Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied; provided, however, that exclusively with respect to a Schedule Supplement pursuant to clause (b) above, if Buyer has the right, but does not elect, to terminate this Agreement and proceeds with the Closing, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to indemnification under Section 7.2 with respect to such matter.  For the avoidance of doubt, the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence does not apply to any Schedule Supplements delivered to Buyer pursuant to clause (a) above.

5.4           Employees; Benefit Plans.

5.4.3        Prior to, but effective as of, the Closing, Futura Corp. shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to (a) allow the Company Continuing Employees to continue participation in the Futura Corporation Savings Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) on and after the Closing and until the Adoption Date (as hereinafter defined); and (b) require the Company 401(k) Plan to accept contributions or deferrals and participant loan payments by Company Continuing Employees and contributions by the Company on and after the Closing and until the Adoption Date.  Prior to the Closing, Futura Corp. shall cause the Company to advise the Company Continuing Employees of their right to continued participation in the Company 401(k) Plan until the Adoption Date.  Futura Corp. shall remain responsible for the administration of the Company 401(k) Plan with respect to the Company Continuing Employees until the Adoption Date; provided that Buyer shall cause the Company to timely transfer all employee and employer contributions to the trustee of the Company 401(k) Plan, timely notify Futura Corp. of any distributable event and otherwise comply with the terms of the Company 401(k) Plan as a participating employer of the Company 401(k) Plan.  Futura Corp. shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of Form 5500 with respect to the Company 401(k) Plan for the period after the Closing in which Company Continuing Employees remain eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) Plan.  The Company shall remain responsible for paying its allocated costs for the Company 401(k) Plan related expenses for the portion of the 2017 plan year during which the Company Continuing Employees participate in the Company 401(k) Plan. Such allocated Company 401(k) Plan expenses shall be determined by Futura Corp. in accordance with past practice and solely for the period in which the Company Continuing Employees participate in the Company 401(k) Plan.

5.4.4        Futura Corp. shall prepare or cause the preparation of a defined contribution plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “New 401(k) Plan”).  The New 401(k) Plan shall be identical, in all material respects, to the Company 401(k) Plan except that only Company Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the New 401(k) Plan.  The documents evidencing the New 401(k) Plan and the ancillary agreements described in this Section 5.4.4 shall be prepared and in a form suitable for adoption by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Buyer such that the New 401(k) Plan shall become effective on or about May 1, 2017 (the “Adoption Date”).  So long as Futura Corp. is making reasonable efforts to establish the New 401(k) Plan, failure to have the New 401(k) Plan ready for adoption by May 1, 2017 shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.  As soon as practicable after the Adoption Date, the Company 401(k) Plan account balances, whether or not vested and including participant loans, of all participants who are Company Continuing Employees shall be transferred from the Company 401(k) Plan to the New 401(k) Plan.  Neither the Company, Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall have any liability under or with respect to the Company 401(k) Plan.  Prior to, but effective as of, the Adoption Date, the Company 401(k) Plan shall be amended such that as of the Adoption Date Company Continuing Employees shall not be eligible to participate therein.  Prior to the Adoption Date, Futura Corp. shall cause the preparation, for execution by the Company, of such ancillary agreements (including, but not limited to, a trust agreement, recordkeeping agreements, custodial agreements, fiduciary insurance and bond) as are necessary or appropriate for the implementation and operation of the New 401(k) Plan and such agreements shall be identical, in all material respects, to the corresponding agreements in effect on the date hereof for the Company 401(k) Plan and in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer.  Prior to the Adoption Date Futura Corp. shall communicate the terms of the New 401(k) Plan to the Company Continuing Employees and advise the Company Continuing Employees that elections (deferral elections, investment directions, beneficiary designations, etc.) as in effect under the Company 401(k) Plan immediately before the Adoption Date shall remain in effect for purposes of the New 401(k) Plan until changed in accordance with the terms of the New 401(k) Plan.  Futura Corp. shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same service fee or rate charged by a service provider for a particular service under the New 401(k) Plan as the service fee or rate charged by the service provider for such service under the Company 401(k) Plan; provided that nothing in this Section 5.4.4 requires Futura Corp. to guarantee any particular service fee or rate to be charged by a service provider.

5.18.3      Taxes accruing and payable for a Straddle Period shall be calculated as though the taxable period of the Company terminated as of the close of business on the Closing Date, provided that Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (including ad valorem Taxes) shall be allocated as between the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the Post-Closing Straddle Period based on the relative number of days in each.  All Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared, and all determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made, in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

5.18.4      After the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, materially modify or otherwise change any Tax Return of the Company for any taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Periods, without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law.

5.18.5      In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations and any proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on Buyer or Sellers, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by taxing authorities as to the imposition of Taxes.  The Party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other Party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.

5.18.7      From the date hereof until the Closing, Sellers shall cause the Company to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any available state and local sales or use tax exemption certificates or other documentation (the “Exemption Certificates”) from the Company’s customers in connection with transactions between the Company and such customers that have occurred or will occur from January 1, 2014 through the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Customer Transactions”), where such Exemption Certificates are required under Law in order for the Pre-Closing Customer Transactions to be exempt from state and local sales or use Tax (or any similar Tax).

5.18.8      As of the Closing, if Sellers have not obtained Exemption Certificates from the customers as described in Section 5.18.7, and only if the absence of such Exemption Certificates results in the corresponding Pre-Closing Customer Transactions with such customers being subject to state and local sales or use Tax (or any similar Tax) in a state or local taxing jurisdiction under applicable Law, then the following procedure shall apply:  Where the Company has not paid such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the option to cause the Company to initiate its participation in a voluntary disclosure program or similar arrangement with such jurisdiction within sixty (60) days of Closing, in order to address such sales or use Tax liability.  Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for the fee, if any, charged by the state or local taxing jurisdiction for participating in such program or arrangement, as well as any Tax, penalties and interest determined to be due under such program or arrangement provided that Buyer acts in good faith to reduce, as much as possible, the amount of Tax, interest and penalty determined to be due as a result of any such participation.  If no such program or arrangement exists with respect to a particular state or local taxing jurisdiction, or if the Company is not eligible to participate in any such program or arrangement in a particular state or local taxing jurisdiction after reasonable efforts are undertaken by Buyer to participate in any such program, Buyer shall have the option to report and pay such Taxes, plus any corresponding penalties and interest as may be required under Law, within sixty (60) days of the Closing.  Sellers shall promptly reimburse Buyer for any such Taxes, penalties and interest so reported and paid.

5.19         Repayment of Indebtedness.  At or prior to Closing, Sellers shall cause (a) the Company to repay in full, in coordination with Buyer as set forth in Section 2.2.1, all Indebtedness owed to non-Affiliates pursuant to Pay-Off Letters and be released from any Encumbrances related thereto; (b) all guarantees by the Company of indebtedness of Affiliates be released along with any Encumbrances related thereto; and (c) all intercompany accounts between the Company, on the one hand, and Sellers or their Affiliates, on the other hand, to be forgiven, discharged, released or paid resulting in the release of the Company with respect to such intercompany account.

5.20         No Negotiation.  Until the earlier of the Closing or such time as this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Article VIII, Sellers shall not, and shall cause the Company, each of Sellers’ other Affiliates and each of their respective managers, members, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with or provide any information to, or consider the merits of any inquiries or proposals from, any Person (other than Buyer) relating to any business combination transaction involving either the Company or the Business, including the sale of the Business or any of the assets of the Business or the sale or transfer (directly or indirectly) of any ownership interests in the Company.  In consideration for the substantial expenditures of time, effort and expense to be undertaken by Buyer in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement, Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.20 by Sellers, with respect to itself, himself, herself, as applicable, or any of the other Persons described above and that, in addition to all other remedies, Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach of this Section 5.20.

5.21         Use of Futura Name.

5.21.1      From and after the Closing, no Seller nor any Affiliate of any Seller shall (a) use the names “Futura Industries” or “Futura” or any confusingly similar names currently in use or formerly used by the Company involved in any business involving smelting, casting, designing, manufacturing, extruding, anodizing, fabricating or selling any kind of metal or plastics or related products, engaging in transportation or logistics activities related thereto or engaging in any other businesses in which the Business is engaged at Closing, or (b) oppose Buyer’s or its Affiliates use or registration of the names “Futura Industries,” “Futura” or other similar name currently in use or formerly used by the Company in connection with any business involving smelting, casting, designing, manufacturing, extruding, anodizing, fabricating or selling any kind of metal or plastics or related products, engaging in transportation or logistics activities related thereto or engaging in any other businesses in which the Business is engaged at and after Closing.

5.21.2      Additionally, within six (6) months of Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cease using any logos that are the same as or confusingly similar to any logos in use by the Company as of the Closing and having goodwill associated with such use by the Company.

5.22         Restrictive Covenants.

5.22.1      Sellers acknowledge that Buyer’s business and the business objectives of Buyer involve the acquisition of the Company, including confidential and proprietary information of the Company or relating to the Business, as well as the Business goodwill of the Company, for all of which Buyer will pay to Sellers good and valuable consideration at the Closing, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.  Sellers acknowledge that it would be unfair to divulge or use such information relating to the Company, the Business or Business goodwill in competition with Buyer after the Closing Date.  Therefore, no Seller shall use or divulge any trade secrets, customer or supplier lists, pricing information, marketing arrangements or strategies, business plans, internal performance statistics, training manuals, personnel information or any other information concerning the Company or relating to the Business that is competitively sensitive, proprietary or confidential and would interfere with Buyer conducting the Business after the Closing Date, except on behalf of and with the written consent of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the covenants contained in this Section 5.22 shall not apply to the following:  (a) information that is already in the public domain or generally available to Persons in the same or similar industries as the Company; (b) information that becomes part of the public domain or generally available to companies in the same or similar industries as the Company by publication or otherwise other than through any action on the part of Sellers or their Affiliates; or (c) information that Sellers are legally compelled to disclose, but only as to the disclosure that it is so compelled.

5.22.2      Each Seller hereby agrees that, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, it, he or she shall not engage, directly or indirectly, either as an owner, equity holder (other than as an equity holder of less than two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding shares of a publicly traded company), employee, consultant or otherwise in any business activity or enterprise that would compete with the Business of the Company as it is currently conducted or proposed to be conducted as of the Closing Date (a) within any state, province or other jurisdiction in Canada, Mexico or the United States in which the Company conducted the Business in the twenty-four (24)-month period immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Restricted Area”); or (b) on behalf of any Person outside the Restricted Area who intends to compete inside the Restricted Area in any way with the Business of the Company as it is currently conducted or proposed to be conducted as of the Closing Date.

5.22.3      Each Seller hereby agrees that, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, it, he or she, as applicable, shall not, directly or indirectly, for its, his or her own benefit or the benefit of any other Person, solicit, attempt to solicit, call on, divert or attempt to divert from Buyer or any of its Affiliates or its successors in interest after the Closing Date, any customers or suppliers of the Company and the Business as of the Closing Date or the business or patronage of any such customers or suppliers of the Company and the Business as of the Closing Date or in any way interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any relationships existing as of the Closing Date between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any of the customers or suppliers or other individuals or entities with whom they deal in connection with the Business.

5.22.4      Each Seller hereby agrees that, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, it, he or she, as applicable, shall not, directly or indirectly, either for its, his or her own benefit or the benefit of any other Person, hire any individual who is then employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their successors in interest, or solicit or attempt to solicit or induce or attempt to induce any individual who is then employed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their successors in interest to leave his or her employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their successors in interest.

5.22.5      Sellers acknowledge that, in view of the nature of Buyer’s business and the business objectives of Buyer in acquiring the Company, and the consideration paid to Sellers for the Company, the restrictions and covenants contained or referenced in this Section 5.22 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury and harm to Buyer and its Affiliates or their successors in interest, for which damages will not be an adequate remedy.  Sellers further acknowledge that Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief for a breach of any restriction contained in this Section 5.22 and that Sellers will not oppose such relief on the grounds that there exists an adequate remedy at law.  In the event any of the provisions of this Section 5.22 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to any applicable Law, or for any reason to be unenforceable or invalid as written, the Parties acknowledge that such court, if permitted by applicable Law, may modify any of such provisions so as to permit enforcement thereof as so modified.

7.4.5        Buyer’s Indemnified Parties shall be required to recover indemnifiable Losses (a) first from the Regular Indemnity Escrow Amount (up to the remaining balance of the Regular Indemnity Escrow Amount while held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement); and (b) thereafter by proceeding directly against each Seller for such indemnifiable Losses up to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such indemnifiable Losses on a per-Loss basis; provided, however, that subsection (a) of this Section 7.4.5 will not apply to indemnifiable Losses with respect Fundamental Representations or indemnification claims made pursuant to Section 7.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 7.2.5 or 7.2.6.

7.4.6        Buyer and Sellers agree that if a claim for indemnification may be made (a) by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 7.2.1 and under one or more of Sections 7.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 7.2.5 and 7.2.6 the claim will be treated as a claim under Section 7.2.2, 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 7.2.5 or 7.2.6, as applicable (and not as a claim under Section 7.2.1), or (b) by a Seller Indemnified Party under Section 7.3.1 and under Section 7.3.2, the claim will be treated as a claim under Section 7.3.2 (and not as a claim under Sections 7.3.1), and in either the case of clause (a) or (b) above, the applicable Indemnified Party will not be entitled to recover more than once for such claim.

7.5          Indemnification Procedures.

7.5.1        Third-Party Claims.  If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof.  The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby, which may include forfeiting rights or defenses by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and specificity and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Loss that may result from the Third-Party Claim, it will be entitled, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within the shorter of (a) fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party; or (b) five (5) Business Days prior to any deadline for filing pleadings or similar documents imposed by a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Third-Party Claim to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim if (i) it would reasonably be expected that the Indemnified Party will owe a greater portion of any Losses in connection with the Third-Party Claim than the Indemnifying Party; (ii) a material part of such Third-Party Claim seeks equitable relief; or (iii) the Indemnified Party has provided the Indemnifying Party with written notice that it has failed or is failing, in a material manner, to diligently defend such claim, and such failure remains uncured for at least five (5) Business Days following delivery of such written notice.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 7.5.2, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof.  If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend within the time period specified above, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.5.2, pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.  Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.8) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
 
Stock Purchase Agreement - 64

7.5.2        Settlement of Third-Party Claims.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.5.2.  If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim without any finding or admission of any violation of Law, or the rights of any Person, by any Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer.  If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.5.1, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
 
7.5.3        Direct Claims.  Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof.  The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby, which may include forfeiting rights or defenses by reason of such failure.  Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and specificity and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim.  During such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected its right to dispute such claim.  If the Indemnifying Party responds within such thirty (30)-day period and thereafter wishes to dispute the Direct Claim, the parties will resolve their dispute in accordance with Section 10.10.  If there is no dispute as to a Direct Claim or, in the case of a dispute, if a Loss is deemed to be due after resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 10.10, the Indemnifying Party will promptly pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party (by wire transfer of immediately available funds or from the Regular Indemnity Escrow Amount, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of and limitations imposed by Section 7.4) the amount of any valid, undisputed or resolved, as applicable, Direct Claims.

7.5.4        Power and Authority of Sellers’ Representative.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.5 is subject to Section 9.4 with respect to the power and authority of Sellers’ Representative on behalf of Sellers and the other Sellers’ Indemnified Parties.

7.6           Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
 
Stock Purchase Agreement - 65

7.7           Limited Tax Indemnification.  Subject to this Section 7.7 and Sections 7.4.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.9, Futura Corp. shall indemnify Buyer’s Indemnified Parties against, and shall defend and hold harmless Buyer’s Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer’s Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of all income Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) imposed by a Governmental Authority by reason of the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (including by virtue of the Asset Sale Tax Election) (the “Sale Income Taxes”).  If one or more of the Buyer’s Indemnified Parties pays any or all of the Sale Income Taxes, Futura Corp. shall pay the applicable Buyer’s Indemnified Parties the amount of the Sale Income Taxes within five (5) days after receipt of written demand therefor from Buyer, accompanied with proof of payment thereof.  Buyer’s Indemnified Parties shall be required to recover indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Section 7.7: (a) first from the Limited Tax Indemnity Escrow Amount (up to the remaining balance of the Limited Tax Indemnity Escrow Amount while held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement); and (b) thereafter by proceeding directly against Futura Corp. for such indemnifiable Losses.  The indemnification under this Section 7.7 shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof), regardless of whether the Limited Tax Indemnity Escrow Amount has been reduced to zero (0) prior to such date.  Funds with respect to the Limited Tax Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be released from the applicable segregated escrow account in accordance with the terms and conditions and used for the purposes set forth in the Escrow Agreement.  Futura Corp. shall provide Buyer a calculation (including all supporting schedules) of the Sale Income Taxes that will be owed by Futura Corp. within ten (10) Business Days after the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative have reached agreement as to the Allocation pursuant to Section 2.6.2.

7.8           Acknowledgement of Separation Agreement.  Johnson acknowledges and agrees that the Separation Agreement remains in full force and effect and reaffirms her waiver and release of claims set forth in the Separation Agreement as such waiver and release applies to each party named in this Agreement, including the Company, Futura Corp., Buyer and Tredegar.

7.9           Exclusive Remedies.  Subject to Section 10.11, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from actual fraud 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 VII.  In furtherance of the foregoing (other than claims arising from actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), 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 VII.  Nothing in this Section 7.9 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.11 or to seek any remedy on account of actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Party hereto.

10.11       Specific Performance.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to (a) the Parties’ rights under the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at law or in equity for actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Party hereto.

10.12.1    Holland & Hart LLP has acted as counsel to Futura Corp. and the Company in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.12.3    All communications between Futura Corp. or the Company, on the one hand, and Holland & Hart LLP, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and relating to Environmental Claims, Environmental Notices, Environmental Permits, Hazardous Materials, compliance with or regulation under Environmental Laws, the Settlement Agreement and the spinoff completed by Futura Corp. in 2015 (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to Futura Corp. and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or the Company. Accordingly, Buyer and the Company shall not have access to any Privileged Communications or to the files of Holland & Hart LLP relating to such engagement from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) Futura Corp. (and not Buyer or the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of Buyer or the Company shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Holland & Hart LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Futura Corp. (and not Buyer nor the Company) shall hold such property rights and (c) Holland & Hart LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Buyer or the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Holland & Hart LLP and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company), on the one hand, and a third party other than any of Futura Corp., on the other hand, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Futura Corp., which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) is legally required by Governmental Order or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify Futura Corp. in writing so that Futura Corp. can seek a protective order.

10.12.4    Hunton & Williams LLP has acted as counsel to Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Sellers agrees that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such representation and any prior representation of Buyer by Hunton & Williams LLP (or any successor) shall not preclude Hunton & Williams LLP from serving as counsel to Buyer, the Company or any shareholder, director, officer or employee of Buyer or the Company in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.12.5    Sellers shall not seek or have Hunton & Williams LLP disqualified from any such representation based upon the prior representation of Buyer by Hunton & Williams LLP.  Each of the Parties hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising from such prior representation, and each of such Parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the Parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the Parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith.

10.12.6    This Section 10.12 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, Holland & Hart LLP or Hunton & Williams LLP, as applicable. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 10.12 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Holland & Hart LLP or Hunton & Williams LLP, as applicable, is entitled whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.

10.13       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.  A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
