Under no circumstances shall Purchaser assume or be obligated to pay, and the Transferred Assets shall not be or become liable for or subject to, any claims of the Business Employees (or any other Person who has performed or is performing services for the Motion Businesses) arising from or relating to facts, circumstances or events occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing Date or otherwise in connection with their employment or engagement by a Motion Company or any of their respective Affiliates, including but not limited to any claims or Liabilities related to employment practices, COBRA (except that Purchaser shall provide for the COBRA coverage of Business Employees and their eligible dependents who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (within the meaning of 26 (CFR 54.4980B-9) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the applicable statutory period under any relevant Purchaser group health plan in effect during such period; provided that Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification by Lender with respect to any Liabilities incurred in connection with providing such coverage pursuant to Section 14.2), equal employment opportunity, nondiscrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, immigration, wage and hour Laws, any other state, federal or local labor and employment Laws, Liability under WARN, salaries, vacations, sick pay, incentives, severance pay or other severance benefits, cash-out of paid time off, bonus, commissions, overtime, meal period, pension, profit sharing, retirement and/or deferred compensation and any other compensation or benefits other than claims for accrued but unused paid time off as of the Closing Date in respect of Current Business Employees who become Hired Employees (the “Employee Claims”), which Employee Claims shall be and remain the Liability, responsibility and obligations of Motion Companies; provided that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates incurs any Liability with respect to an Employee Claim due to the application of applicable Law, Purchaser shall have a right to indemnification pursuant to Section 14.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to (i) provide $97,125 in cash to Motion to allow it to pay fifty percent (50%) of the March Commissions/Bonuses due to Current Business Employees as provided in Section 2.5 of the Motion Companies Disclosure Schedules, and (ii) cooperate with Motion and provide the necessary funds for the Motion Companies to process a stub period payroll run relating to April 16, 2015 with respect to compensation for services provided on such date by any Current Business Employees.
Section 7.2 Hired Employees. Purchaser shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion), but not the obligation, to offer employment, on an at will basis, effective on the Closing Date, to any or all Current Business Employees pursuant to terms and conditions to be determined in the sole discretion of Purchaser (the “Employment Offers”). In no event shall Purchaser be obligated to hire or retain any Person for any period following the Closing. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide the Motion Companies with a list of all employees of any Motion Company to which Purchaser intends to make an Employment Offer, and the Motion Companies shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser to effectuate such offers. The Current Business Employees who accept Purchaser’s Employment Offers and who commence employment with Purchaser pursuant to such offer terms are referred to herein as the “Hired Employees.” Under no circumstances shall any Business Employee become an employee of Purchaser unless such individual becomes a Hired Employee or is otherwise hired by Purchaser. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Motion Companies shall terminate all Hired Employees and shall pay, no later than the end of the first pay period after the Closing (or as otherwise required under applicable Law), to all such Hired Employees all amounts earned or accrued (but not paid) for wages, commissions, salaries and bonuses (but not including paid time off) relating to periods up to, but not including, the Closing Date, and shall make and account for all periods up to, but not including, the Closing Date, all proper deductions, remittances and contributions for employee wages, commissions and salaries required under all Contracts and Laws (including for health, hospital and medical insurance, income Tax, FICA Taxes and the like). For avoidance of doubt, the Motion Companies shall be responsible for all Liabilities arising out of or based upon such termination of the Hired Employees, including any severance pay obligations of any of the Motion Companies.
Section 7.3 Release of Hired Employees. With respect to each Hired Employee, effective as of the Closing, the Motion Companies shall be deemed to have waived and released each such individual from any and all contractual or common law provisions enforceable by any Motion Company which restricts the employment activities or other conduct of such individuals after their termination of employment with such Motion Company; provided, however, that the Motion Companies shall be deemed to have assigned to Purchaser, effective as of the Closing, the rights of the Motion Companies to all obligations of each Hired Employee not to disclose confidential information relating to the Motion Businesses and all obligations not to compete with the Motion Businesses owed by such Hired Employee.
Section 7.4 No Transfer of Employees. Nothing herein shall be construed as transferring to Purchaser (i) any Contract with any Business Employee or for the employment of any Person or engagement of any independent contractor by any Motion Company, or (ii) any rights or obligations any Motion Company may owe to or be owed by any Business Employee or any current or former independent contractor of any Motion Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Current Business Employee who becomes an employee of Purchaser or its Affiliate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the applicable Laws of a country outside of the United States, Purchaser and the Motion Companies shall make commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of such Laws.
Section 7.5 401(k) Plan. Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, Motion shall adopt resolutions in a form acceptable to Purchaser to (i) terminate the Motion defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”), effective no later than sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, (ii) fully vest all 401(k) Plan participants in their account balances as of the date of termination, and (iii) authorize and direct the appropriate Persons to take any and all further actions necessary to complete such plan termination and promptly distribute 401(k) Plan account balances to participants and beneficiaries, or roll over such balances pursuant to the directions of the participants and beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) Plan and applicable Law.
Section 7.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein, express or implied, shall confer upon any Business Employee any rights or remedies (including any right to employment or continued employment for any specific period) of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement. Purchaser and the Motion Companies agree that the provisions contained herein are not intended to be for the benefit of or otherwise enforceable by, any third party, including any Business Employee.
Section 7.7 Liability for Benefit Arrangements. The Motion Companies shall retain all Liabilities and responsibilities for all of the Benefit Arrangements and all Contracts relating thereto, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties hereto.

(b) Neither the Motion Companies, the Lender nor Purchaser shall take any action or refrain from taking any action the effect of which would materially delay or materially impede the ability of such other party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless taking such action is expressly permitted or required by this Agreement or refraining from taking such action is required by applicable Laws.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at and following the Closing, each of the parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquaintances and such other instruments, and cooperate and take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to transfer and assign fully to Purchaser and its successors and assigns, all of the Transferred Assets (including any proceeds from any and all VAT Tax Refunds and all assignments and transfer documents for all Intellectual Property included as a Transferred Assets), and for Purchaser and its successors and assigns to assume the Assumed Liabilities, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

Motion represents and warrants to the Purchaser that each of the Loan Documents to which Motion is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Motion, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Motion enforceable against Motion in accordance with its terms. Each Motion Company agrees it is not aware of any basis for such Motion Company to conclude that the sale, assignment, and transfer of the Transferred Collateral, and all aspects thereof, does not constitute a commercially reasonable disposition within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Uniform Commercial Code or that the sale of the Transferred Collateral for the consideration hereunder is not in full compliance with the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Motion Company further agrees (pursuant to Section 9-603 of the Uniform Commercial Code) it is not aware of any basis for such Motion Company to conclude that such sale, assignment, and transfer does not satisfy all standards concerning rights and duties under Section 9-602 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Each of the Motion Companies hereto irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Lender and its Affiliates and Purchaser and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Released Parties” and individually a “Released Party”) from any and all claims, judgments, demands, causes of actions, controversies, losses, obligations, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities of every kind and nature whatsoever, at law or equity, suspected or deemed known or unknown and whether or not discoverable, that such Motion Company ever had, currently has, or may in the future have against a Released Party arising out of or related to the Loan Agreement, any actions taken with respect to the Loan Agreement or the sale of the Transferred Collateral to Purchaser. Lender and each of its Affiliates hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Motion, the Motion Companies and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Motion Released Parties” and individually, a “Motion Released Party”) from any and all claims, judgments, demands, causes of actions, controversies, losses, obligations, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities of every kind and nature whatsoever, at law or equity, suspected or deemed known or unknown and whether or not discoverable, that such Released Party ever had, currently has, or may in the future have against a Motion Released Party arising out of or related to the exercise of Lender’s remedies under the Loan Documents, the sale of the Transferred Collateral and the Motion Transferred Assets to Purchaser under this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than the Deficiency Claim.
Section 8.13 Calculation of Deficiency; No Discharge; Reservation of Rights. Each of the Motion Companies agrees that, as of the Agreement Date, the total outstanding principal amount of the Loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement is $9,487,741.86. The Lender represents and warrants to Motion that the deficiency owing to the Lender, including accrued and unpaid interest on such loans, and reimbursement of fees and expenses, after application of the Closing Amount of the Purchase Price, will exceed $1,015,000 (the “Deficiency Claim”) and Motion agrees that it has no reason to believe that the Deficiency Claim is less than $1,015,000. Each of the Motion Companies acknowledges and agrees that the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, against Motion following the Closing Date; provided, however, that no Liens will apply to Transferred Assets. Each of the Motion Companies acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Lender, in executing and delivering this Agreement and performing its obligations hereunder is not waiving any Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) that may exist on the date hereof or in the future; (b) no failure by the Lender to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law shall constitute, or shall be construed as, a waiver thereof; and (c) that Lender reserves its rights (i) fully to invoke any and all such rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Loan Documents and applicable law, and (ii) to require that all Loans continue to bear interest at the rate specified in the Loan Agreement. Lender acknowledges and agrees that in the event Motion receives any item of economic, financial or monetary value relating to the Collateral following the Closing Date, such item will be promptly paid to Purchaser even if, for avoidance of doubt, it relates to an Excluded Asset. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the recovery of funds from Motion’s director and officer liability insurance policy shall not be included as an economic, financial or monetary item of value relating to the Collateral. Lender hereby agrees that it will not sell the Deficiency Claim or any portion thereof to any Person at any time.

Personal property, ad valorem, use and intangible Taxes and assessments, common area maintenance charges, utility charges and rental payments with respect to the Transferred Assets (collectively, “Charges”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis and apportioned on a calendar year basis between the Motion Companies, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date.

No later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Motion Companies for each of their consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (and any other items that are required for federal income Tax purposes to be treated as Purchase Price) among the Transferred Assets (such schedule, the “Allocation”). If the Motion Companies raise any objection to the Allocation within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, Purchaser and the Motion Companies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection(s). If the Motion Companies do not raise any objection to the Allocation within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof, the Motion Companies shall be deemed to have conclusively accepted the Allocation. If, and to the extent the parties are unable to agree on the Allocation, each of the Motion Companies, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be free to allocate the Purchase Price (and any other items that are required for federal income Tax purposes to be treated as Purchase Price) among the Transferred Assets without regard to the allocation of any other party. In the event the parties agree to the Allocation, Purchaser and each Motion Company shall report and file all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns and claims for refund) consistent with the Allocation as finally agreed upon, and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent therewith (including in any audits or examinations by any Governmental Authority or any other Proceeding) without first giving the other party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser or the Motion Companies from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Purchaser nor the Motion Companies shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging such Allocation. In the event the parties agree to the Allocation, Purchaser and the Motion Companies shall cooperate in the filing of any forms (including Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) with respect to the Allocation, including any amendments to such forms required pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(a) Any party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the relevant party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”, which term shall include all Indemnifying Parties if there be more than one) by written notice of any claim for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim”), provided that failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XIV except to the extent, if at all, that such Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced thereby.
(b) If such Claim relates to any Proceeding or demand instituted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a particular matter from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall have the authority to negotiate, compromise and settle such Third Party Claim, if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the Indemnifying Party shall have confirmed in writing that it is obligated hereunder to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim;
(ii) the Indemnified Party shall not have given the Indemnifying Party written notice that its counsel has reasonably determined in good faith that a conflict of interest that cannot be waived makes separate representation by the Indemnified Party’s own counsel advisable; and
(iii) such Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; provided, however, that no Indemnifying Party shall, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (A) involves any matter related to Taxes or (B) for a matter other than related to Taxes, does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Indemnified Party’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to monetary matters and matters (including Tax matters) that are not likely to adversely affect the business operations or reputation of the Indemnified Party.
(c) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not elect, or is not entitled, to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, by counsel of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense at its own expense and (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably); provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser or any Affiliate shall have the exclusive right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim, by counsel of its own choosing on behalf of and for the account and at the risk of the Lender, for any matters arising out of Section 14.2(c); provided that the Lender may participate in such defense at its own expense and the Purchaser or any Affiliate will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Lender (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably).
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.4 to the contrary, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense and, to the extent such participation affects the Indemnified Party, the compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel concerning such Claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective counsel shall cooperate with respect to the defense of such Claim.
(e) Each party hereto agrees to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any Third Party Claim, including providing reasonable access to each other party to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim and making employees available on a convenient basis.
Section 14.5 Exclusivity. After the Closing, except for (a) claims for fraud or willful or intentional misconduct, or (b) claims for injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies, the right of any party hereto to assert indemnification claims for monetary damages and receive indemnification payments pursuant to this Article XIV shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable by such party with respect to any breach by the other party hereto of any covenant, representation or warranty or otherwise under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 14.6 Determination of Losses. Losses payable to an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by (a) any monies from a third party actually received by the Indemnified Party, and (b) any actual insurance proceeds received by any Indemnified Party on account of such matter less the aggregate incremental increase in the premiums (including any retrospective premiums) actually paid by an Indemnified Party with respect to such insurance as a result of such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall be required to commence litigation in order to enforce its rights under any insurance policies.
Section 14.7 Survival. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article XIV shall be required to be made by delivering written notice in accordance with Section 14.4 no later than expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 14.1.
