(b) As soon as practicable, and in any event within one hundred (100) calendar days after the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Purchaser’s calculations of (i) Working Capital as of the Reference Time (which for such purpose shall not be reduced by the Post-Closing Stale Receivables referenced in subparagraph (v) below), (ii) Closing Cash, (iii) Final Closing Indebtedness, (iv) Final Seller Expenses, (v) the amount of Post-Closing Stale Receivables, (vi) the final Purchase Price based on the foregoing amounts and accompanied by reasonably detailed supporting calculations and documentation and (vii) a schedule including Purchaser’s determination of the Closing Stale Receivables and the Post-Closing Stale Receivables, as well as a detailed description of any changes to the A/R Credits identified on the A/R Credit Schedule. The Closing Statement shall entirely disregard (i) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) any of the plans, transactions or changes which Purchaser intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Company or its business or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or any of its assets or liabilities. (c) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, grant the Seller and its authorized representatives reasonable access to all such papers and documents and all such personnel as it or its representatives may reasonably request, and the Seller shall have up to forty- five (45) days after receiving the Closing Statement to review the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). The Seller shall deliver notice to Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefor. If the Seller fails to deliver such notice by such date, the Seller and the Principal Seller Members shall have waived their right to contest the Closing Statement. If the Seller notifies Purchaser of any objections to the Closing Statement, the parties shall, within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of such notice (the “Resolution Period”), attempt to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount shall be final and binding for all purposes under this Agreement. (d) If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period the parties have not reached an agreement on any objections with respect to the Closing Statement, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute shall be submitted by the Seller and Purchaser to the Independent Accountants for a determination resolving such amounts and issues. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountants shall be borne by Purchaser and the Seller in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items submitted to the Independent Accountants by such party that are unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as

 

ACTIVE 53233149v22 19 finally determined by the Independent Accountants) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted by Purchaser and the Seller. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Accountants shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. Any fees and expenses payable pursuant to this Section 2.07 by the Seller shall be paid by the Seller (and, to the extent the Seller does not have in its bank accounts immediately available funds sufficient to pay the full amount of such fees and expenses or otherwise does not make payment when owed, the Principal Seller Members shall be required to pay all, or such remaining, fees and expenses on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Principal Seller Member Pro Rata Shares). The Independent Accountants shall determine only those issues still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period and the Independent Accountants’ determination shall be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Accountants shall be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Purchaser and the Seller to the Independent Accountants and not on the Independent Accountants’ independent review. Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make its presentation as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Accountants of the disputed items, and each such party shall be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other party and any questions and requests of the Independent Accountants. In deciding any matter, the Independent Accountants (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.07(d) and (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or the Seller or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Purchaser or the Seller. The Independent Accountants’ determination shall be made within forty-five (45) calendar days after its engagement (which engagement shall be made no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the Resolution Period), or as soon thereafter as possible, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Purchaser and the Seller and shall be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the process set forth in this Section 2.07(d) and the activities of the Independent Accountants in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The term “Final Closing Statement” shall mean the definitive Closing Statement agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser if no items are disputed in accordance with Section 2.07(c) or the definitive Closing Statement resulting from the determination made by the Independent Accountants in accordance with this Section 2.07(d). (e) In the event that the final Purchase Price as reflected on the Final Closing Statement equals or exceeds the Purchase Price as reflected on the Preliminary Closing Statement, then, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is finally agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser or is finally determined by the Independent Accountants in accordance with Section 2.07(d), (i) Purchaser shall pay the Seller the amount of such excess in immediately available funds to such account as may be designated by the Seller and (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount and any earnings thereon will be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Seller as set forth in Section 2.07(g). (f) In the event that the final Purchase Price as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Purchase Price as reflected on the Preliminary Closing Statement, then the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of such difference to Purchaser from the Adjustment

 

ACTIVE 53233149v22 20 Escrow Amount within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is finally agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser or is finally determined by the Independent Accountants in accordance with Section 2.07(d), as set forth in Section 2.07(g); provided, however, if such difference exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is finally agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser or is finally determined by the Independent Accountants in accordance with Section 2.07(d), pay the amount of such excess (and, to the extent the Seller does not have in its bank accounts immediately available funds sufficient to pay the full amount of such excess, the Principal Seller Members shall, within the same time period, be required to pay to Purchaser any remaining excess on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Principal Seller Member Pro Rata Shares) to Purchaser in immediately available funds to such account as may be designated by Purchaser; provided, further, however, that if such difference is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Seller as set forth in Section 2.07(g). (g) If the Escrow Agent is required to pay or disburse an amount to the Seller pursuant to clauses (e) or (f) of this Section 2.07, then Purchaser shall direct the Escrow Agent to make such payment or disbursement from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is finally agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser or is finally determined by the Independent Accountants in accordance with Section 2.07(d). If the Escrow Agent is required to pay or disburse an amount to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.07(f) or this Section 2.07(g), then the Seller shall direct the Escrow Agent to make such payment or disbursement from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is agreed to by the Seller and Purchaser or is determined by the Independent Accountants in accordance with Section 2.07(d).

ACTIVE 53233149v22 21 (a) From the Closing Date through the day immediately prior to the Indemnity and A/R Escrow Release Date, Purchaser shall provide reasonably prompt written notice to Seller of any payment to a customer (or any applicable assignee or alleged successor to such obligation) of any A/R Credits and/or any application of any A/R Credit to an accounts receivable of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, in each case made at the request of such customer (or any applicable assignee or alleged successor to such obligation). In the event Purchaser is required at the request of the customer (or its applicable assignee or alleged successor to such obligation) to pay such A/R Credit to the customer (or its applicable assignee or alleged successor to such obligation) in cash, or is required to apply the A/R Credit to an accounts receivable of the Company or a Company Subsidiary that is not a Closing Stale Receivable or a Post-Closing Stale Receivable, Purchaser shall provide to the Seller reasonable evidence within its possession of such payment or application to an accounts receivable, and Purchaser shall be entitled to (i) first, offset the payment or application made in respect of the A/R Credits against any Net Receivables Payments Amount to the extent of any Net Receivables Payment Amount received as of such date (provided that Purchaser at its sole option may defer, at such time, the withdrawal of such amount(s) from escrow pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) and net such amount(s) against the Net Receivables Payment Amount at a later date (the amount of such setoff being the “A/R Credit Setoff Amount”)), (ii) second, to the extent as of such date there is no Net Receivables Payments Amount available (or the amount of the aggregate Net Receivables Payment Amount received as of such date is less than the amount of the A/R Credit), immediately withdraw an amount equal to the A/R Credit less the actual Net Receivables Payment Amount received as of such date that Purchaser has netted pursuant to clause (i) above from the remaining funds in the A/R Credit Escrow Amount (if any), and (iii) third, to the extent the A/R Credit Escrow Amount is otherwise no longer available to reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s payment of the A/R Credits, immediately withdraw the amount equal to such A/R Credit from the remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Amount (if any). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Escrow Agent requires the Seller’s consent to release any amount in respect of any A/R Credit, the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the determination by Purchaser of any payments owed to Purchaser in respect of A/R Credits pursuant to this Section 2.08) deliver such documentation or consent necessary to release such amounts (including providing joint instruction notices to the Escrow Agent with Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than as set forth in Section 2.07 and this Section 2.08, the Sellers and the Principal Seller Members shall have no further obligations with respect to the A/R Credits. (b) Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, at the Indemnity and A/R Escrow Release Date, an amount in the aggregate equal to (i) the then remaining balance of the A/R Credit Escrow Amount (if any) minus (ii) any claims in respect of A/R Credits that have not otherwise been satisfied from payments from the A/R Credit Escrow Amount (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Indemnity and A/R Escrow Release Date) shall be delivered, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, to the Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the A/R Credit Escrow Amount shall solely be used with respect to A/R Credits as set forth in Section 2.08(a).

(a) After the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller in writing of the proposed assessment or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on Purchaser, its Affiliates, or the Company or the Company Subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of time, could result in any Tax liability for the Seller or be grounds for indemnification by the Seller or the Principal Seller Members under Article IX. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Purchaser, its Affiliates, or the Company) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Taxing Authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. If Purchaser fails to give the Seller prompt notice of an asserted Tax liability as required by this Section 7.03, then the Seller and the Principal Seller Members shall not have any obligation to indemnify for any loss arising out of such asserted Tax liability, but only to the extent that failure to give such notice results in a detriment to the Seller and Principal Seller Members. (b) In the case of a Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Contest”) that relates to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the sole right, at the Seller’s expense, to control the conduct of such Contest.

(d) No Principal Seller Member shall have any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.02 with respect to (i) a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article III made by or with respect to any other Principal Seller Member (other than those representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.04, which shall not be subject to this Section 9.05(d)), (ii) any other Principal Seller Member’s individual covenants set forth in Section 6.06, or (iii) Fraud committed by any other Principal Seller Member of which such first Principal Seller Member did not have actual knowledge. (e) The maximum liability of any Principal Seller Member pursuant to Section 9.02 is the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Principal Seller Member. (f) No party shall be liable for exemplary or punitive damages (unless such damages are caused by Fraud) of any kind, loss of enterprise value, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other law or otherwise and whether or not arising from any other party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault except to the extent such Losses are awarded to a third-party in the context of a Third-Party Claim. (g) For purposes of this Article IX, for purposes of determining the amount of Losses and for purposes of determining whether there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, any qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty shall be disregarded; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 4.08. Section 9.06 Calculation of Losses. (a) 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 (each, 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 by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof 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 the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (except to the extent the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to and in accordance with the R&W Insurance Policy) 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 that, if the Indemnifying

 

ACTIVE 53233149v22 72 Party are the Seller and the Principal Seller Members, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) if the maximum amount of monetary damages and related costs and expenses which could be payable with respect to such Third-Party Claim exceeds the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim hereunder. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 9.06(b), 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. 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 promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.06(b), pay, compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Seller, the Principal Seller Members and Purchaser 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 6.02) 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. (b) 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, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 9.06(b). 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 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 9.06(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (c) 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 by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct

 

ACTIVE 53233149v22 73 Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written correspondence with respect thereto (within the Indemnified Parties possession) 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 such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Section 9.07 No Double Recovery; Use of Insurance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party or other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article IX shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such party or its Affiliate has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement (including to the extent there has been a specific liability or reserve relating to such matter included in the calculation of the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.07) or any document executed in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. The amount of any indemnification payable under this Article IX will be net of the receipt of any insurance proceeds paid or payable to the Indemnified Party under any policies of insurance covering the Loss giving rise to the Claim. The Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such insurance and will account to the Indemnifying Party therefor. If, at any time subsequent to the Indemnified Party receiving an indemnity payment for a Claim under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party receives payment in respect of the Loss underlying such Claim through recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any Claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against another Person, the amount of such payment, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred directly in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Section 9.08 Treatment of Indemnity Payments Between the Parties. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all indemnification payments shall constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and no party shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization. Section 9.09 Remedies. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) following the Closing, except as set forth in Sections 2.07, 2.08, 6.03 and 11.12, the remedies provided in this Article IX (and, with respect to Purchaser, pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy and the Contribution Agreement) shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Purchaser, the Seller and the Principal Seller Members for any breach by the other party of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and for any failure by the other party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement, except for claims grounded in Fraud, and (b) anything herein

 

ACTIVE 53233149v22 74 to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of Purchaser, the Seller or the Principal Seller Members, after the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses. Section 9.10 Role of the Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the provisions of this Article IX contemplate that a notice thereunder be given to the Principal Seller Members, such notice shall instead be given to the Seller. Section 9.11 Escrow; Release of Escrow Amounts. The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be used, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, to pay indemnity obligations of the Seller and Principal Seller Members in accordance with Article IX (as well as to satisfy claims related to the A/R Credits subject to Section 2.08(a)). Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, after the Indemnity and A/R Escrow Release Date, an amount in the aggregate equal to, if any (i) the then remaining balance of the Indemnity Escrow Amount (if any) minus (ii) such amounts that are the subject of any claims that have not been fully and finally resolved specified in a notice of a Claim pursuant to this Article IX (the “Unresolved Claim”) minus (iii) any claims that have not otherwise been satisfied as provided in Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.08(a) shall promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Indemnity and A/R Escrow Release Date) be delivered, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, to the Seller. As soon as reasonably practicable after each such Unresolved Claim has been resolved, the Seller and Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent written notice executed by each such Party instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date such Unresolved Claim has been resolved) written notice executed by each such Party instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such written notice) deliver the applicable portion of the applicable Unresolved Claim (after deducting any amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the resolution of such claim to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties) that would have otherwise been distributed on the Indemnity and A/R Escrow Release Date in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to the Seller, and the applicable portion of the Unresolved Claim shall be released to the applicable Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, on the date that is five (5) Business Days after final determination of any indemnifiable Losses hereunder, Purchaser and the Seller shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Amount to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the amount of the Losses to which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX in connection with such Claims.

 

ACTIVE 53233149v22 75 ARTICLE X TERMINATION Section 10.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by either the Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Termination Date, unless mutually agreed by the parties; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(a) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; (b) by either the Seller or Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; (c) by the Seller (if the Seller is not then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect) if Purchaser shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.01, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of written notice by the Seller to Purchaser specifying such breach; (d) by Purchaser (if Purchaser is not then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect) if the Seller, the Principal Seller Members or the Company shall have breached any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of written notice by Purchaser to the Seller specifying such breach; or (e) by the mutual written consent of the Seller and Purchaser. Section 10.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force and effect and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Purchaser, the Seller, the Principal Seller Members or the Company or their respective officers, managers or directors, except (a) as set forth in Sections 6.03, 10.02, 11.01, 11.10, and 11.11, which shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve either party hereto from liability for any material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 11.07 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by all of the parties hereto. Section 11.08 Waiver. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Any exception or qualification set forth in the Disclosure Schedules with respect to a particular representation or warranty contained in Article III or Article IV of the Agreement shall be deemed to be an exception or qualification with respect to all other applicable representations and warranties contained in Article III or Article IV of the Agreement to which such exception or qualification is reasonably apparent on its face to be applicable, whether or not such exception or qualification is so numbered. To the extent that any representation or warranty contained in Article III or Article IV of the Agreement is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given, the inclusion of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules does not constitute a determination by the Company or the Seller or Principal Seller Members that such matters are material. In addition, under no circumstances shall the disclosure of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules where a representation or warranty in Article III or Article IV of the Agreement is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given imply that any other undisclosed matter having a greater value or other significance is material.
