2.9              Merger Consideration. The consideration Parent will pay in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Consideration“) will be $100,000,000 (the “Closing Consideration”), plus the amount (if any) by which the Final Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target and minus the amount (if any) by which the Working Capital Target exceeds the Final Closing Net Working Capital, plus the amount of the Contingent Payments, if any.

 
 

2.10          Earn-Out Payment.

(a)                Earn-Out Payment. As Merger Consideration, at the time provided in Section 2.10(b), Parent (or its designee so long as Parent remains an obligor thereof) shall pay to the Applicable Holders, in proportion to their respective Unpaid Pro Rata Portions, an amount, if any, equal to, the Earn-Out Base Amount minus the Key Man Retention Bonus Amount (the “Earn-Out Payment “).

(b)               Determination of Earn-Out Base Amount and Earn-Out Payment. No later than 60 days after the end of the Calculation Period (the “Earn-Out Payment Calculation Date“), Parent shall prepare and deliver to Representative a written statement (the “Earn-Out Payment Calculation Statement“) setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the Calculation Period and its calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Base Amount, Key Man Retention Bonus Amount and the Earn-Out Payment (the “Earn-Out Payment Calculation“).

(c)                Timing and Manner of Payment of Earn-Out Payment. On the 15th day following the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Date (the “Earn-Out Payment Date”), Parent shall pay the Earn-Out Payment and the Key Man Retention Bonus Amount, if any, as determined by Parent pursuant to Section 2.10(b), as follows:

                                                                             (i)            Escrow Deposit. Parent shall deposit an amount in cash equal to 10% of the Earn-Out Base Amount, if any, as determined by Parent pursuant to Section 2.10(b) (the “Contingent Escrow Amount“), with the Escrow Agent to be held as part of the Escrow Fund and to be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.17 and the Escrow Agreement;

                                                                           (ii)            Key Man Retention Bonus Amount. Parent shall fund and pay to the recipients of the Key Man Retention Bonus Awards the Key Man Retention Bonus Amount among them in accordance with the terms of the Key Retention Man Bonus Awards agreement entered into with each participant;

                                                                         (iii)            Earn-Out Payment Shares. Parent shall pay up to $5,000,000 of the Earn-Out Base Amount, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.10(b) remaining after payment of the Contingent Escrow Amount and the Key Man Retention Bonus Amount (the “Distributable Earn-Out Payment“) by issuing shares of Parent’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Earn-Out Payment Shares”), to Applicable Holders who are Eligible Applicable Holders in their respective Earn-Out Share Portions with all other Applicable Holders receiving their respective Unpaid Pro Rata Portions of the Distributable Earn-Out Payment in cash pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iv). If the Distributable Earn-Out Payment is not enough for Parent to issue $5,000,000 of Earn-Out Payment Shares to the Applicable Holders who are Eligible Applicable Holders, the dollar amount of Earn-Out Payment Shares to be issued by Parent shall be reduced to the maximum dollar amount issuable under the circumstances. The Earn-Out Payment Shares will be restricted stock under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and will be issued only to Eligible Applicable Holders. Resales of Earn-Out Payment Shares will be governed by applicable Law, including without limitation, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will be subject to additional restrictions on trading volume during the six-month period after the Earn-Out Payment Shares, pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements. The number of Earn-Out Payment Shares Parent shall issue will be equal to the quotient of (i) the lesser of (x) $5,000,000, or (y) the maximum aggregate amount of the Earn-Out Payment payable by issuance of Earn-Out Payment Shares, divided by (ii) the closing bid price of Earn-Out Payment Shares, as reported by Bloomberg Finance, L.P., on the trading day immediately preceding the public announcement of the Merger.

 
 

                                                                         (iv)            Cash Payment. Parent shall pay to the Applicable Holders the remainder of the Earn-Out Payment payable, if any, as determined by Parent pursuant to Sections 2.10(b) and 2.10(d) that is not paid by issuance of Earn-Out Payment Shares pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iii), in cash as follows:

(A)             To each Applicable Shareholder who is an Eligible Applicable Holder and who has received Earn-Out Payment Shares pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iii), an amount equal to (i) such Eligible Applicable Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Distributable Earn-Out Payment, minus (ii) the dollar amount of the Earn-Out Payment Shares issued to such Eligible Applicable Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iii); and

(B)              To each other Applicable Holder, an amount equal to such Applicable Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Distributable Earn-Out Payment.

(d)               Dispute Resolution. The Representative shall have 60 days after the Earn-Out Payment Date (the “Review Period“) to review the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Payment Calculation set forth therein. During the Review Period, the Representative and his representatives shall have the right to inspect Parent’s and the Company’s books and records during normal business hours at Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the Calculation Period and the resulting Earn-Out Payment amount. At any time before the expiration of the Review Period, Representative may object to the Earn-Out Payment Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Statement for the Calculation Period by delivering a written notice of objection (a “Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice“) to Parent. Any Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the Earn-Out Payment Calculation disputed by the Representative and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. If the Representative fails to deliver a Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice to Parent before the expiration of the Review Period, then the Earn-Out Payment Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Representative timely delivers a Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice, Parent and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of Adjusted EBITDA and the Earn-Out Payment for the Calculation Period. If Parent and the Representative are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after such a Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Neutral Accountant. The Neutral Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Payment Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days after such submission to the Neutral Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Neutral Accountant, Parent and the Representative shall each furnish to the Neutral Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Neutral Accountant may reasonably request. The Neutral Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Parent and the Representative, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA that is the subject of the Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice by the Neutral Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by the Representative and Parent in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of Adjusted EBITDA differ from Adjusted EBITDA as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant. No later than ten Business Days after the date upon which the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the Calculation Period becomes final and binding upon the Parties as provided in this Section 2.10(d) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by the Representative in a Earn-Out Payment Calculation Objection Notice), Parent shall pay any additional amount of Earn-Out Payment it is determined to owe in cash to the Applicable Holders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.

 
 

(e)                Post-closing Operation of the Company and the mophie Business. After the Closing, Parent shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Company and the mophie Business; provided that, during the Calculation Period, the Company (as the Surviving Corporation) and its Subsidiaries will be operated as separate subsidiaries of Parent, and provided further, Parent will operate the mophie Business in good faith and will not act or refrain from acting in any way primarily intended to result in an unreasonable reduction of Adjusted EBITDA.

(f)                Restricted Activity. Until (i) the Calculation Period has expired and (ii) Parent has paid any amounts due under this Section 2.10, Parent shall not be permitted to (A) sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Surviving Corporation; or (B) sell or transfer to any non-Affiliate more than 50% of the voting stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.11          Other Payments.

(a)                Tax Refund. Parent shall pay to the Exchange Agent for further payment to the Applicable Holders, in proportion to their respective Unpaid Pro Rata Portions, as Merger Consideration, an amount (the “Tax Refund”) equal to the aggregate refunds of Taxes or credits for overpayment of Taxes, in each case, in respect of the Company resulting specifically and directly from (w) hiring credits in California for the 2012 and 2013 tax years, (x) net operating losses carried back to 2012 for California income Taxes, (y) net operating loss carrybacks generated by the Company in the Ordinary Course of Business at any time before the Effective Time with respect to the 2013 tax year for federal income Taxes and California income Taxes (“NOL Credit”), and (z) the dissolution of D&S C.V., a Dutch limited partnership, before the Effective Time and resulting write-offs, write-downs and losses (the “C V Dissolution Credit”) subject to the following procedures and limitations:

                                                                             (i)            Parent shall be required to pay all or any portion of the Tax Refund if and only to the extent that a refund of such amount is actually received by Parent or one of its Affiliates in cash, in which event any amount payable with respect thereto shall be paid within ten Business Days after receipt of such cash payment;

 
 

                                                                           (ii)            Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, prepare and file amended Tax Returns for the Company for the applicable tax year and in connection with such filings shall take commercially reasonable actions to obtain the Tax Refund, except that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to take any position in respect of the Tax Refund or the Tax Returns generating the Tax Refund in contravention of the advice of their tax and legal advisers;

                                                                         (iii)            For avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the NOL Credit excludes any NOLs generated prior to the Effective Time and unused after carryback to the 2013 tax year for federal income and California income Taxes pursuant to clause (y) above of Section 2.11(a); and

If the Representative determines in his sole discretion to discontinue the funding of such expenses, he may notify Parent in writing, in which event, Parent may either continue or discontinue the prosecution or advancement of such matter.

Each holder of Dissenting Shares who pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares, shall receive payment therefore in accordance with Sections 1300-1313 of the CGCL (but only after the value of such Dissenting Shares shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of CGCL). The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Company Common Shares or Company Preferred Shares, any withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments received by the Company that relate to any such demand for, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

(a)                Not later than three Business Days before the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement”) setting forth (i) a balance sheet of the Company estimated in good faith as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, (ii) the estimated amount of Indebtedness of the Company as of the Effective Time, (iii) the estimated amount of the Transaction Expenses, (iv) the estimated amount of the aggregate of all Employee Amounts, (v) the estimated amount of the Payroll Taxes, (vi) the estimated amount of Closing Net Working Capital (“Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), and (vii) a calculation of any adjustment to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.9 (the “Estimated Closing Adjustment”) resulting from (A) the amount by which Estimated Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target, or (B) the amount by which Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target, together, in each case, with all relevant backup materials, in detail reasonably acceptable to Parent. The Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement and the included balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Company’s past practices (to the extent such past practices are consistent with GAAP) but in all events in conformity with Schedule 2.16(a), which reflects the methodologies and items to be included in the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, including estimated amounts in respect thereof as of the date of this Agreement and a sample balance sheet and Estimated Net Working Capital calculation. From the delivery of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement until the Closing Date, Parent and its accountants shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, be permitted to discuss with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s accountants the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement and shall be provided complete and accurate copies of, and have reasonable access upon reasonable notice at reasonable times during normal business hours to the work papers and supporting records of the Company and its accountants so as to allow Parent and its accountants to verify the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement. If within two Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement, Parent has not given the Company notice of its objection thereto, the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital shall be as set forth in the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement delivered to Parent by the Company. If Parent gives such notice of objection, the Company and Parent will work together in good faith to resolve the issues in dispute. If all disputed issues are resolved, the amounts as agreed upon by Parent and the Company shall be used to determine the Estimated Closing Adjustment. If Parent and the Company are unable to resolve all such disputed issues within three Business Days following Parent’s delivery of written notice of objection, the Estimated Closing Adjustment shall be as determined by an average of Company’s and Parent’s position.

(b)               Not later than 120 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Closing Adjustment Statement”), including (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, (ii) the amount of Indebtedness of the Company as of the Effective Time, (iii) the amount of the Transaction Expenses, (iv) the aggregate of all Employee Amounts payable in connection with the Closing transactions, (v) the amount of the Payroll Taxes, (vi) the amount of Closing Net Working Capital (“Final Closing Net Working Capital”), and (vii) a calculation of (A) the amount by which Final Closing Net Working Capital exceeds Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, or (B) the amount by which Final Closing Net Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, together, in each case, with all relevant backup materials, in reasonable detail. The Closing Adjustment Statement and such balance sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Company’s past practices (to the extent such past practices are consistent with GAAP), but in all events consistent with Schedule 2.16(a).

 
 

(c)                From the delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement until such time as the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Representative and his accountants shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, be permitted to discuss with Parent and its accountants the Closing Adjustment Statement and shall be provided complete and accurate copies of, and have reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent reasonably available) upon reasonable notice at reasonable times during normal business hours to the work papers and supporting records of Parent and its accountants so as to allow the Representative and his accountants to verify the accuracy of the Closing Adjustment Statement.

(d)               If the Representative disputes the Closing Adjustment Statement, the Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute, within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement. Any such Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Representative disagrees, and the Representative and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Adjustment Statement and not raised in the Dispute Notice. If Parent and the Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Accountant, provided that if the Neutral Accountant declines to be engaged Representative and Parent shall select a substitute national or regional independent accounting firm, or, if the Representative and Parent fail or refuse to select a firm within 10 days after written request therefor by the Representative or Parent, such an independent national or regional accounting firm shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the Fresno, California office of the American Arbitration Association, which substitute independent accounting firm shall thereafter for all purposes hereunder be the Neutral Accountant. All determinations and calculations pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) shall consider only those items in the Closing Adjustment Statement as to which the Representative has disagreed, shall be in writing and shall be delivered to Parent and the Representative as promptly as practicable. The determination of the Neutral Accountant as to the resolution of any dispute shall be within the range of the values in dispute and be binding and conclusive upon all Parties. A judgment on the determination made by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)                The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to Section 2.16(d) shall be borne by the Applicable Holders, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in proportion to the amounts by which the proposals of Parent and the Representative submitted to the Neutral Accountant differed from the Neutral Accountant’s final determination.

 
 

(f)                Upon the expiration of the 30-day period for giving the Dispute Notice, if no such notice is given, or upon notification by the Representative to Parent, that no such notice will be given, or upon the resolution of disputes, if any, pursuant to this Section 2.16:

                                                                             (i)            If the Final Closing Net Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, Parent shall be entitled to recover such deficiency pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement;

                                                                           (ii)            If the Final Closing Net Working Capital is equal to Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, no adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall be made; and

                                                                         (iii)            If the Final Closing Net Working Capital exceeds Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Applicable Holders, in proportion to their respective Unpaid Pro Rata Portion, as Merger Consideration, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the amount of such surplus (the “Closing Adjustment Surplus”).

(g)               The Parties agree that the purpose of this Section 2.16 is to measure changes in the items contained in the Closing Adjustment Statement and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of determining such items.

Any payment under this Section 2.17(a)(i) shall be by wire transfer of a cash amount equal to the payment amount, pursuant to the wire instructions set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

                                                                         (iii)            Promptly after (x) the final determination of any Unresolved Claim that is the subject of a dispute notice, which resolution results in amounts due to Parent, (y) the delivery by either Party of a copy of a written notice from the Representative under which Parent is entitled to all or a portion of the claimed amount set forth in a Claim Notice, or (z) the expiration of the 30-day Response period for any Claim Notice submitted by Parent as to which the Representative submits no Response during such 30-day period, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions signed by Parent and the Representative directing the Escrow Agent to release an amount from the Escrow Fund corresponding to the amounts due to be paid to Parent under any of clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, in the case of a disbursement of cash, by wire transfer of a cash amount equal to the amount of the Unresolved Claim, pursuant to the wire instructions set forth in the Escrow Agreement. Any amounts not otherwise due to Parent shall be paid to Exchange Agent for distribution to the Applicable Holders.

The Applicable Holders will not receive any interest or other earnings on the Representative Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings.

                                                                             (i)            The Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Representative shall have no responsibility or liability to any Applicable Holder for any loss of principal of the Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Representative. The Representative Expense Fund shall terminate on the date on which all remaining amounts constituting the Escrow Fund have been distributed in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (the “Representative Period”).

 
 

                                                                           (ii)            Upon the expiration of the Representative Period, the remaining amount of cash, if any, constituting the Representative Expense Fund shall be distributed to each Applicable Holder in an amount equal to their respective Pro Rata Portions of the aggregate amount to be returned. For Tax purposes, the Representative Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Applicable Holders at the time of Closing.

(c)                The Principal Shareholders, by their execution of this Agreement, and the other Applicable Holders, by the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, hereby approve the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including (i) the placement of the Escrow Fund in the escrow established pursuant to this Section 2.17 and (ii) the delivery of the Representative Expense Fund to the Representative or the Representative’s designee pursuant to this Section 2.17.

2.18          Representative.

(a)                In order to efficiently administer the Merger, including (i) the determination of any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.16 and (ii) the dispute, defense and/or settlement of any claims for which the Company Indemnitors may be required to indemnify Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, the Principal Shareholders, by their execution of this Agreement, and the other Applicable Holders, by the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, hereby designate and appoint the Representative as their representative, attorney-in-fact and agent. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Applicable Holder, by operation of Law, whether by such Applicable Holder’s death, disability, protective supervision or any other event.

(b)               The Principal Shareholders, by their execution of this Agreement, and the other Applicable Holders, by the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, hereby authorize the Representative: (i) to make all decisions relating to the determination of any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.16, (ii) to take all action necessary in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of the Company and the Applicable Holders to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or the dispute, defense and/or settlement of any claims for which the Applicable Holders may be required to indemnify Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Article 9, (iii) to give and receive all notices permitted or required to be given under this Agreement, (iv) to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and (v) to take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by or on behalf of the Applicable Holders by the terms of this Agreement.

(c)                If the Representative becomes unable to perform his responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Applicable Holders (acting by the vote of the Applicable Holders who immediately before the Effective Time held the right to receive at least a majority of the Common Equivalent Merger Consideration) shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Representative initially chosen by the Applicable Holders, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

 
 

(d)               All decisions and actions of the Representative on behalf of the Applicable Holders shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside of this Agreement and shall be binding upon all Applicable Holders, and no Applicable Holder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. A decision, act, consent, instruction or action of the Representative, including any agreement between the Representative and Parent relating to the determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Merger Consideration or the dispute, defense or settlement of any claims for which the Applicable Holders may be required to indemnify Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Article 9, shall constitute a decision, act, consent, instruction or action of all Applicable Holders and shall be binding and conclusive upon each of such Applicable Holders and the Parties, the Surviving Corporation and the Escrow Agent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent, instruction or action as being the decision, act, consent or instructions of each and every such Applicable Holder. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Escrow Agent are hereby relieved from any liability to any Applicable Holder for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent, instruction or action of the Representative.

(e)                The Representative will receive no compensation for services as the Representative. By his, her or its execution of this Agreement, each Principal Shareholder, and by their approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement, and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, each other Applicable Holder, agrees that the Applicable Holders will pay from the Representative Expense Fund all (i) professional fees and expenses of any attorney, accountant or other advisors or expert retained by the Representative and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with the performance of the Representative’s duties under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and (ii) any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Representative in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement as the Representative (collectively, the “Representative Expenses”) in each case as such Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that if any such Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Applicable Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Expense to the extent attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such Representative Expenses may only be recovered by the Representative from the Representative Expense Fund or from the Escrow Fund as provided below or from the Applicable Holders directly. In no event will the Representative be required to advance his own funds on behalf of the Applicable Holders or otherwise. Following the resolution of all pending claims related thereto (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no earlier), the Representative shall have the right to recover Representative Expenses in excess of the Representative Expense Fund from the Escrow Fund before any distribution to the Applicable Holders. By his, her or its execution of this Agreement, each Principal Shareholder, and by their approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement, and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, each other Applicable Holder, agrees that the Applicable Holders will on an individual and several basis (and not jointly as to or with any other Applicable Holder) indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse, on a Proceeds Pro Rata Basis, the Representative for Representative Expenses, in each case as such Representative Expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity will survive the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement, and the Representative and the Applicable Holders acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 2.18(e) shall impose no obligations on the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.

 
 

(f)                By his, her or its execution of this Agreement, each Principal Shareholder, and by their approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement, and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, each other Applicable Holder, agrees that:

                                                                             (i)            Parent shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Representative as to the determination of any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.16, the settlement of any claims for indemnification by Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Article 9 or any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative hereunder, and no party shall have any cause of action against Parent for any action taken by Parent in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Representative;

                                                                           (ii)            no Applicable Holder shall have any cause of action against the Representative for, and the Representative shall have no liability to any Applicable Holder in connection with, any action taken or omitted, decision made or instruction given by the Representative under this Agreement, except for liability directly resulting from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative;

                                                                         (iii)            each such Applicable Holder will, on an individual and several basis based on his, her or its Proceeds Pro Rata Basis (and not jointly as to or with any other Applicable Holder) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative in accordance with Section 2.18(e);

                                                                         (iv)            the provisions of this Section 2.18 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Applicable Holder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

                                                                           (v)            remedies available at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 2.18 may be inadequate; therefore, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages if either Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation brings an action to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.18; and

                                                                         (vi)            the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of each Applicable Holder, and any references in this Agreement to an Applicable Holder shall mean and include the successors to the Applicable Holder’s rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the Laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

 
 

2.19          Withholding Obligations. Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to any Person such amounts that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be (a) remitted by the applicable withholding party to the applicable Taxing authority and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be. Parent, or the Exchange Agent or other representative of Parent, shall also have the right to collect Forms W-8 or W-9, or such other forms relating to United States federal withholding obligations as may be required, from such Persons.

Parent’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by the Company in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule.

6.9              Public Announcements. Neither Party nor their respective representatives shall issue any statement or communication to any third Person (other than its representatives that are bound by confidentiality restrictions) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including if applicable the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor, without the written consent of the other Parties, except (i) as required by any Party to comply with applicable Law or court order or as necessary for any Party to enforce its rights hereunder or to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or market and (ii) as necessary to Shareholders in order for the Company to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval.

 
 

6.10          280G Covenant. Before the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to a Shareholder vote the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive any and all payments (or other benefits) contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent necessary so that no payment received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b) of the Code (determined without regard to Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code), in a manner that satisfies the stockholder approval requirements under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such vote shall establish the “disqualified individual’s” right to the payment or other compensation, and the Company shall obtain any required waivers or consents from the “disqualified individual” prior to the vote. At least five Business Days before the vote, Parent and its counsel shall be given the right to review and comment on all documents to be delivered to the Shareholders in connection with such vote and any required disqualified individual waivers or consents, and the Company shall reflect all reasonable comments of Parent thereon. Parent and its counsel shall be provided copies of all documents executed by the Shareholders and disqualified individuals in connection with the vote.

6.11          FIRPTA. No more than 10 days before the Closing, (a) the Company shall deliver to Parent and to Parent a certificate that the Company is not and in the last five years has not been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” in accordance with Treasury Regulations under Sections 897 and 1445 of the Code, or (b) each of the Shareholders shall deliver to Merger Sub certifications that they are not foreign Persons in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Section 1445 of the Code. If Parent does not receive either the notices or the certifications described above on or before the Effective Time, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall be permitted to withhold from the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any required withholding Tax under Section 1445 of the Code.

6.12          Expenses. Except with respect to costs and expenses of filing and other fees associated with obtaining Consent to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act and any fees payable to the Exchange Agent, which shall be borne by the Parent, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall pay its own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of its own respective financial advisors, accountants and counsel.

6.13          Indemnification. Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liability for acts and omissions occurring at or before the Closing Date and rights to advancements of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, Employees, equityholders and agents of the Company (collectively, the “Company Agents”) as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company, under any contract between the Company and any Company Agent or under applicable Law shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such Company Agent, unless an alteration or modification of such document is required by Law or the Company Agent affected thereby otherwise consents in writing thereto.

 
 

6.14          R&W Insurance. Immediately after the date hereof, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and have in effect at the Closing representation and warranty insurance, issued by an insurer and in a form and providing coverage reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Representative for the benefit of Parent and the Surviving Corporation (“R&W Insurance”). If R&W Insurance is obtained and in effect at the Closing, the cost of the premium for the R&W Insurance shall be split equally between the Company and Parent, with the Company’s portion thereof being payable at Closing as a Transaction Expense. To the extent of the coverage of the R&W Insurance, if obtained, the Escrow Amount to be funded at Closing shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis, provided that in all events the Escrow Amount shall not be reduced below $2,000,000. If, notwithstanding Parent’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain R&W Insurance, R&W Insurance is not obtained and in effect at the Closing, the Closing shall nevertheless occur, provided that the Escrow Amount shall be unaffected by this Section 6.14. For the avoidance of doubt, no R&W Insurance shall be obtained unless the Company and Parent mutually approve such R&W Insurance, and the failure to approve any R&W Insurance shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.14.

6.15          Notices and Effect of Supplements to Schedules. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Representative and the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, promptly upon becoming aware of any fact, matter, circumstance or event that occurs or arises after the date hereof and that causes or that reasonably could be expected to cause such Party to be in breach or violation of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, shall give notice to the other Party with respect thereto and supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules provided by such Party (including adding new sections of the Disclosure Schedules if necessary) to reflect any such fact, matter, circumstance or event, which, if existing, on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Schedules. Any such notification, supplement or amendment shall not be effective to cure any breach, violation or inaccuracy in such representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of such Party contained in this Agreement for purposes of Article 9 and Article 10 of this Agreement. If in any such supplement or amendment of the Schedules delivered pursuant to this Section 6.15, the Company and/or the Principal Shareholders disclose an event, change or circumstance which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect, Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement; provided however, that if Parent does not terminate this Agreement within five days after receipt of such supplement, Parent will be deemed to have accepted such supplement or amendment to the Schedules, in which event, such notification, supplement or amendment shall, without affecting the rights of the Parties pursuant to the preceding sentence, be effective to qualify and cure any breach of or inaccuracy in, such representation or warranty made as of the Closing Date for purposes of Sections 8.2(a), 8.3(a), 9.1(a)(i) and 9.2(a) of this Agreement, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall deliver no later than five Business Days before the Closing, by delivery of an update to Section 3.5 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Restated 2014 Audit, which shall be an update of the Disclosure Schedule for all purposes under this Section 6.15, except that Parent shall have the right to seek indemnification pursuant to Article 9 if the Restated 2014 Audit includes changes from the Financial Statements that are material and adverse irrespective of whether such changes constitute a Material Adverse Effect or whether Parent terminates this Agreement or otherwise objects to such disclosure.

 
 

Article 7
TAX MATTERS

7.1              Tax Covenants.

(a)                Without the prior written consent of Parent, before the Closing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Parent or the Surviving Corporation in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(b)               All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and Merger (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid equally by the Company Indemnitors and Parent when due. Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees.

(c)                The Company shall terminate any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries no later than the Closing Date. After such date neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

7.2              Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period“), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a)                in the case of Taxes (x) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (y) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (z) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b)               in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

7.3              Tax Returns.

(a)                The Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

 
 

(b)               Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by Parent to the Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Representative, supporting documentation) at least 30 days before the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, it shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Parent in writing that he so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If the Representative timely delivers such a notice of objection, Parent and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such disputed items. If Parent and the Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Parent of such notice, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Parent and the disputed items shall be resolved by the Neutral Accountant, with any determination by the Neutral Accountant being final. The Neutral Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within 30 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If, based on the resolution of such dispute by the Neutral Accountant, the applicable Tax Return must be amended, Parent shall amend such Tax Return to reflect the Neutral Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne equally by Parent and the Representative.

(c)                The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent.

7.4              Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Representative, the Company (as the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date) and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article 7 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of the Representative, the Company and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other Parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Before transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, the Representative, the Company or Parent (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other Parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

                                                                             (i)            any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in (A) this Agreement or (B) any other certificate executed by the Company in connection with this Agreement or required to be delivered at Closing;

                                                                         (iv)            any fraud of the Company arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b)               From and after the Closing, and subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this Article 9, each Shareholder shall severally indemnify Parent and the Surviving Corporation in respect of, and hold them harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any controlled Subsidiary thereof arising out of:

                                                                             (i)            any breach of any representation or warranty of the Principal Shareholder contained in this Agreement,

                                                                           (ii)            any failure of such Shareholder to have good and valid title to the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares, Company Preferred Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable for the foregoing, issued in the name of such Shareholder, free and clear of all Liens, or

(b)               any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement; or

(c)                any fraud of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.3              Indemnification Claims.

 
 

(a)                Third Party Claims. A Party asserting a claim under this Article 9 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notification to the Party claimed to have an indemnification obligation under this Article 9 (an “Indemnifying Party”), comprising a Claim Notice or Expected Claim Notice, of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the documents underlying such Third Party Action, the applicable provisions of this Agreement comprising the underlying claim, and the amount of the claimed Damages. No delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation under this Article 9 except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any harm, damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article 9 (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9) and (B) an adverse resolution of the Third Party Action would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the goodwill or reputation of the Indemnified Party or the business, operations or future conduct of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of (A) any Third Party Action involving a claim under Section 9.1(a)(v) or based on a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12, (B) a matter involving possible criminal liability of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (C) a Third Party Action in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms of this Section 9.3(a) to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling any Third Party Action pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Party controlling any Third Party Action pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other material pleading, motion or memorandum which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. In connection with matters for which the Indemnified Party obtains indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement only if (x) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.3(a) or (y) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes based on written advice of counsel that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action in which case the Indemnified Party’s Damages shall also include legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party to the extent relating to such conflicting interests or different defenses.

 
 

(b)               The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further liability and imposes no other obligations (other than those that are ministerial in nature in connection with any such settlement) on the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. Except as provided in this Section 9.3(a) the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c)                To seek indemnification under this Article 9 for a claim that is not a Third Party Action (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice or Expected Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. 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 forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. 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 as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 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.

(d)               The Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Shareholder to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Shareholders under this Article 9. The Representative shall have no liability to any Shareholder for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Shareholder pursuant to this Article 9.

9.4              Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a)                Unless otherwise specified in this Section 9.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, all representations and warranties of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms until the date 18 months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) all representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Authorization), 3.3 (No Violation), 3.4 (Capitalization), and 3.32 (Brokers) shall survive indefinitely, (ii) all representations and warranties set forth in 3.18 (Intellectual Property) shall survive for three years after the Closing Date, and (iii) all representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.12 (Tax Matters), 3.14 (Employee Benefits), and 3.17 (Environmental), shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive until performed fully in accordance with their terms.

 
 

(b)               No Claim Notice or Expected Claim Notice may be delivered after termination of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 9.4(a), except for a Claim Notice resulting from the matters described in an Expected Claim Notice delivered in a timely manner in accordance with Section 9.4(a). If Parent delivers to the Representative, before expiration of the applicable representation, warranty or covenant as set forth in Section 9.4(a), either a Claim Notice or an Expected Claim Notice, then the applicable representation(s), warranty(s), and/or covenant(s) shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter or matters covered by such notice. If the Legal Proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation shall promptly so notify the Representative.

9.5              Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9:

(a)                Neither the Company Indemnitors nor Parent shall be liable for Damages under Sections 9.1(a)(i) or 9.2(a), respectively, until the aggregate amount of all Damages from all claims exceeds $500,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), at which point the Company Indemnitors or Parent, as applicable, shall become liable for all such Damages under Section 9.1(a)(i) in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided, that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply in the case of fraud or the breach of any of the Fundamental Representations.

(b)               Except in the case of claims based on a breach of any of the Fundamental Representations or due to fraud or for breach of any of covenant, neither the Company Indemnitors nor Parent shall be liable for Damages under Sections 9.1(a)(i) or 9.2(a) in excess of 10% of the sum of the Closing Consideration and Earn-Out Payment, in the aggregate. In the case of claims based on breach of any of the Fundamental Representations, neither the Company Indemnitors nor Parent, as applicable, shall be liable for Damages under Sections 9.1(a)(i) or 9.2(a) in excess of the Merger Consideration actually received by the Shareholders.

(c)                Except in the case of claims due to fraud, the Company Indemnitors shall have personal liability, on a Proceeds Pro Rata Basis, for all Damages incurred by Parent, provided that no Company Indemnitor shall have any liability for such Damages in excess of the aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by such Company Indemnitor.

(d)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be able to collect any Damages directly from any Company Indemnitor:

                                                                             (i)            unless and until there are insufficient unclaimed amounts in the Escrow Fund remaining to satisfy such Damages pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;

 
 

                                                                           (ii)            to the extent that a specific accrual or reserve for the amount of such Damage was set forth on the Financial Statements or taken into account in calculating Final Closing Net Working Capital;

                                                                         (iii)            there are insufficient amounts available to satisfy such Damages from the Contingent Payment, provided that nothing in this Section 9.5(d)(iii) shall preclude Parent or Merger Sub from asserting any Claim or Expected Claim before the expiration of the Calculation Period; or

                                                                         (iv)            to the extent that such Damages are covered by the R&W Insurance procured by Parent and the Company pursuant to Section 6.14, if any.

(e)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to the other limitations set forth herein, (i) in respect of any indemnifiable claim brought pursuant to this Article 9, each Company Indemnitor shall only be liable for its share, determined on a Proceeds Pro Rata Basis, of the Damages determined to be indemnifiable hereunder pursuant to such claim, and (ii) each Company Indemnitor shall be severally liable for, and no other Company Indemnitor shall have any liability with respect to, Damages by reason of or relating to (x) fraud of such Company Indemnitor who also is a Shareholder committed in such Shareholder’s capacity as a Shareholder or (y) the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.1(b), for which the liability of each such Company Indemnitor who is a Shareholder shall not exceed the aggregate Merger Consideration such Shareholder actually received at Closing plus amounts contributed to the Escrow Fund and the Representative Expense Fund by and attributable to such Shareholder.

(f)                No Company Indemnitor shall have any right of contribution against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

(g)               Subject to Section 11.16, except with respect to claims based on fraud, and as provided in Section 2.16, after the Closing, the rights of Parent and Merger Sub under this Article 9 shall be the exclusive remedy for Damages of Merger Sub, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any controlled subsidiary thereof with respect to claims or Damages resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party furnished by the Company (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, by any Shareholder) to Merger Sub, Parent the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any controlled subsidiary thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h)               The amount of any Damages payable under this Article 9 shall be limited to the amount thereof, if any, that remains after deducting therefrom an amount equal to (i) the amount by which any insurance proceeds (other than R&W Insurance) actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim exceed the portion of the Damages (if any) for which the Indemnified Party has no right to indemnification under this Article 9, less (ii) that portion of the policy premium increase in the next policy period that results from the assertion of such claim, as determined by the Indemnified Party based on correspondence from the Indemnified Party’s insurance carrier or insurance broker. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under applicable insurance policies for any Damages as to which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article 9; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to assert a claim against such insurance if the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the insurance carrier’s payment of such claim would result in a non-renewal of the policy or an increase in future expected premiums that would make it commercially unreasonable to obtain insurance on those terms, or would materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s ability to recover against such insurance policy in respect of expected future claims (and, in such case, the Indemnifying Party waives all rights of subrogation that it may have in respect of such insurer upon payment of the related Damages). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of any insurance coverage benefit shall not delay payment or indemnification of such Damages by an Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof receives any such insurance proceeds after an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, and provided the Indemnified Party has collected all sums due from the Indemnifying Party, then the amount of Damages to be recovered by the Indemnified Party shall be recalculated, taking into account the limitations of this Section 9.5(h), as if such amounts had been received before the collection of any Damages under this Agreement and any excess Damages previously collected after such recalculation shall be repaid to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if R&W Insurance is obtained, it must be Parent’s initial and, until exhausted, sole recourse for indemnity claims under this Article 9 for which coverage is available under the R&W Insurance, except for the amount of any retention thereunder, which shall be indemnifiable.

 
 

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Parent, the Company nor any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to make any claim for recovery for any Damages related to or arising from (i) the amount or availability of any Tax asset or attribute of the Company or (ii) the ability of Parent, the Company or any Affiliate thereof to utilize any Tax asset or attribute of the Company following the Closing.

(j)                 None of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or any controlled subsidiary thereof shall be entitled to recover Damages relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or any controlled subsidiary thereof has already recovered Damages with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the operation of Section 2.16 is an exclusive remedy in respect to the items to be taken into account in connection with any adjustment pursuant thereto, and none of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or any controlled subsidiary thereof shall be entitled to any additional recourse in respect thereof, whether arising from a breach of a representation or warranty or otherwise.

(k)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for the purpose of Sections 9.1(a)(i), 9.1(b)(i) and 9.2(a), in determining the amount of Damages suffered by the Indemnified Party related to, but not whether there has occurred, a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement for which the Indemnifying Party has responsibility under this Article 9, such representation and warranty shall be construed without regard to any “material,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualifications set forth herein.

 
 

9.6              Tax Treatment. The Parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article 9 as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes.

9.7              Mitigation. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages that are subject to a claim for indemnification under this Article 9.

Article 10

(b)               by Parent by giving written notice to the Company if the Company breaches any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (i) would cause any of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.3 not to be satisfied and (ii) is not cured, if capable of cure, within 15 days following delivery by Parent to the Company of written notice of such breach;

(c)                by the Company by giving written notice to Parent if Parent is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 not to be satisfied and (ii) is not cured, if capable of cure, within 15 days following delivery by the Company to Parent of written notice of such breach;

(d)               By Parent by giving written notice to the Company (i) at any time after the Shareholders have voted on approval of the Merger and the Requisite Shareholder Approval was not obtained or (ii) if the Requisite Shareholder Approval has not been obtained within two Business Days after the date of this Agreement;

(f)                By the Company by giving written notice to Parent if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 (unless the failure results primarily from a breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement).

10.2          Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party or its respective officers, directors or shareholders, except for obligations under Section 6.2(c), this Article 10 and Article 11, all of which shall survive the termination.
