If the actual Gross Profits during the Second Earnout Period are equal to or less than the Second Earnout Period Base Gross Profits, then no Second Earnout Payment shall be payable.

(c) The Earnout Payments, if any, shall be payable by Buyer to the Sellers within ninety (90) days following the end of the First Earnout Period or the Second Earnout Period, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Sellers.

In connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Election, Sellers and Buyer shall each sign at such time as Buyer elects to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election (or as soon thereafter as practicable) all federal, state, local and other forms necessary to make the Section 338(h)(10) Election jointly and shall make any required filings and take any and all other actions necessary or appropriate to effect and preserve the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(b) Upon any Section 338(h)(10) Election, the parties hereto agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of the Company for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting purposes) in the manner determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion, provided, however, that the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Company’s fixed assets shall not be greater than the fair market value of the fixed assets as of the Closing Date.

(b) The Holdback Amount is being withheld by the Buyer for the purpose of allowing Buyer and the Company to recover therefrom the amount of any claims for indemnification Buyer and the Company may have against the Sellers under Section 12.3 above or any other provisions of this Agreement, plus interest thereon, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The Holdback Amount shall be paid to the Sellers on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Holdback Distribution Date”), provided that in the event the Company or the Buyer has any claims for indemnification against the Sellers under Section 12.3 above or any other provisions of this Agreement for which the Buyer or the Company, as applicable, has given notice to the Sellers in accordance with the terms herein, the Buyer shall continue to withhold the portion of the Holdback Amount subject to such claims until the parties fully and finally resolve such claims. Upon any distribution of any portion of the Holdback Amount, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers interest on the amount so distributed from the Closing Date until the date of distribution at the rate set forth in Section 12.5 of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer or the Company determine in good faith that it or they are entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 12.3, Buyer or the Company may, , and in addition to any other right or remedy it or they may have, set-off all or any portion of their good faith estimate of the amount of such indemnification claim (a “Set-Off Amount”) against any Earnout Payment that may be payable under Section 2.5, provided Buyer notifies the Sellers in writing (a “Set-Off Notice”) that Buyer intends to make such set-off at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Earnout Payment is payable under Section 2.5.

(e) Buyer and the Company may, but shall not be required to, first exercise its or their right to a Set-Off Amount or proceed against the Holdback Amount to recover the amount of any claims for indemnification that Buyer and the Company may have hereunder against the Sellers before proceeding directly against the Sellers to recover the amount of such claims. If Buyer or the Company exercises the right to a Set-Off Amount or proceeds against the Holdback Amount to recover the amount of such claims it or they have against the Sellers, and if the Set-Off Amount or the amount of the Holdback Amount is insufficient to fully satisfy such claims, then Buyer and the Company shall have the right to proceed directly against the Sellers to recover any deficiency.

12.5 Interest. Any payment required to be made by Buyer or the Sellers pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made with interest for the period from the date the indemnification claim is made to the date of payment at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate as published by Thomson Reuters from time to time, and the rate of interest hereunder shall change with each change in such rate.

12.6 Procedures for Third-Party Claims.

(a) Any party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 12 (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of any legal proceeding, action, claim or demand (in each case, a “Claim”) instituted by any third person or governmental entity shall give the party from whom indemnification with respect to such claim is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) (i) prompt written notice (but in no event more than twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party acquires knowledge thereof) of such Claim and (ii) copies of all documents and information relating to any such Claim within twenty (20) days of their being obtained by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify or provide copies to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified Party for any liability hereunder except to the extent that such failure shall have actually and materially prejudiced the defense of the Claim.

(b) Subject to Section 12.6(c) of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option and expense, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim with respect to which it is the Indemnifying Party and to be represented by counsel of its own choice, and the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect thereto or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting or defending the same with reasonable diligence and in good faith. The Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense. The Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any such claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall be not unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party or involves other matters not binding upon the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not, within fifteen (15) days after it receives written notice of the Claim from the Indemnified Party, agree in writing to accept the defense of, and assume all responsibility for, such Claim as provided above in this Section 12.6(b), then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Claim in such manner as the Indemnified Party deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification therefor from the Indemnifying Party under this Section 12.

(c) In the event the Claim subject to this Section 12.6 is an Environmental Claim, the parties agree that the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Buyer shall have control of all actions that may be necessary in order (A) to resolve the Environmental Claim and (B) to address, correct, remediate and repair conditions giving rise to such Environmental Claim (the “Conditions”) so that such Conditions are in full compliance with Environmental Laws;

(ii) Buyer shall retain a qualified environmental consulting/services company (“Consultant”) to review such Environmental Claim and associated Conditions and to determine the extent to which correction, remediation or repair of the Conditions is necessary to be in full compliance with Environmental Laws, and the Consultant shall prepare a written report for Buyer and the Sellers setting forth such review and determination and the specific actions to be taken so to correct, remediate and repair the Conditions without unreasonably interrupting the business operations of the Company. To the extent practicable under the circumstances, Buyer shall consult with the Sellers as to the matters described in this Section 12.6(c)(ii), but the Sellers shall not have a right of approval or disapproval as to such matters;

(iii) Subject to Buyer complying with this Section 12.6(c), the Sellers shall be solely responsible for and shall pay and, if applicable, shall reimburse Buyer or the Company for (A) all Remediation Costs and Expenses (as defined below) and (B) any damages, fines, penalties and other reasonable costs and expenses resulting from or attributable to resolution of the Environmental Claim or relating to the Conditions not being in full compliance as of the Closing with applicable Environmental Laws, to the extent indemnification is provided therefor under this Section 12;

(iv) For purposes of this Section 12.6(c), “Remediation Costs and Expenses” shall mean the fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer or the Company in undertaking and completing the actions recommended by the Consultant to so correct, remediate and repair the Conditions including, without limitation, environmental consultants’ and contractors’ fees, attorneys’ fees, laboratory and analytical costs and expenses, equipment charges, industrial or hazardous waste disposal costs, and all other fees, costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with sampling, monitoring, investigation and remediation activities; and

(v) Any amounts payable by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 12.6(c) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the date an invoice therefor is given to the Sellers.
