(ii)         BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NO SELLER INDEMNIFIED
PERSON MAKES ANY COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (I) WITH RESPECT
TO THE BUSINESS, ITS OPERATIONS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR (II) AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE BUSINESS FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NONE OF SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ADVISORS OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES
OR ANY OTHER PERSON SHALL HAVE OR BE SUBJECT TO ANY LIABILITY TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF ANY INFORMATION, DOCUMENTS OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON BY SELLER, ITS AFFILIATES OR
ANY OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ADVISORS OF SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES.


 


(iii)        The
amount which Seller is required to pay to, for or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Section 10 shall be adjusted
(including, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered
by or on behalf of Buyer, its affiliates or any other member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent or representative
of Buyer or its affiliates in reduction of the related indemnifiable Loss. Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to pursue and collect on any recovery with respect to any indemnifiable Loss available under any insurance policies. If
Buyer shall have received from Seller or Seller shall have had paid on its behalf a payment in respect of a Loss indemnified under
this Section 10 and Buyer, its affiliates or any other member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent or representative
of Buyer or its affiliates shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds or other payment in respect of such Loss, then
Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such insurance proceeds or other payment or, if lesser, the amount of the original payment
made by Seller to or on behalf of Buyer in respect of such Loss. To the extent that Buyer is entitled to indemnification pursuant
to this Section 10, Seller shall be entitled to exercise, and shall be subrogated to, any rights and remedies (including
rights of indemnity, rights of contribution and other rights of recovery) that Buyer, its affiliates or any other member, manager,
director, officer, employee, agent or representative of Buyer or its affiliates may have to insurance policies or similar
contracts with respect to which such person or entity is a beneficiary. Buyer shall take such actions as Seller may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling Seller to perfect or exercise the right of subrogation under this paragraph.


 


(iv)        The
amount of any indemnity provided in Section 10 shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any actual
net reduction in cash payments for taxes realized by Buyer, its affiliates or any other member, manager, director, officer, employee,
agent or representative of Buyer or its affiliates as a result of the Losses giving rise to such indemnity claim. If the
indemnity amount is paid prior to Buyer realizing any actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes in connection with the Losses
giving rise to such payment, and Buyer, its affiliates or any other member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent or representative
of Buyer or its affiliates subsequently realizes such actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes, then Buyer shall pay
the amount of such actual reduction in cash payments for Taxes (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments paid
by Seller with respect to such Losses) to Seller.

(v)         Buyer,
its affiliates and any other member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of Buyer or its affiliates
acknowledge and agree that its sole and exclusive rights and remedies with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating
to or connected with this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby, the Business or its respective assets and liabilities,
any of Seller or any of its affiliates or their respective assets and liabilities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any other agreement contemplated hereby shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section
10. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer (on behalf of itself, its affiliates and any other member, manager, director,
officer, employee, agent or representative of Buyer or its affiliates) hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, any and
all rights, remedies, claims and causes of action with respect to the foregoing except pursuant to the indemnification provisions
set forth in this Section 10.


 


(vi)        No
fact, event, misrepresentation or occurrence that, in the absence of this paragraph, would constitute a liability
to be indemnified pursuant to Section 10 shall be deemed to constitute a liability to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 10 for which Buyer would be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 10 if Buyer,
its affiliates or any other member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of Buyer or its affiliates
has knowledge of such fact, event, misrepresentation or occurrence on or prior to the Closing Date.


 


(vii)       Buyer
agrees that, for so long as Buyer has any right of indemnification under Section 10, it will not, and agrees to use
its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its affiliates or any other member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent
or representative of Buyer or its affiliates do not, voluntarily or by discretionary action, accelerate the timing, or increase
the cost, of any obligation of Seller under Section 10 (any such voluntary or discretionary action, a “Prohibited
Action”); provided, however that “Prohibited Action” shall not be deemed to include any action which
in the written opinion of Buyer’s legal counsel is required to be taken in order to be in compliance with applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer for any Loss arising
out of or by reason of or in connection with or due to any Prohibited Action.


 


(viii)      No
Losses of Buyer shall be determined or increased based on any multiple of any financial measure (including earnings, sales or other
benchmarks) that might have been used by Buyer in the valuation of the Business.


 


(c)          Obligation
to Indemnify by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and the members, managers,
directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of Seller or its affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any Losses relating to, based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of (1) any falsity
or breach of any representation or warranty or breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement or any document or agreement executed in connection herewith; (2) Buyer, its affiliates and any other member, manager,
director, officer, employee, agent or representative of Buyer or its affiliates or any of the business or operations of
Buyer or its affiliates, including without limitation the Business (except as specifically enumerated in Section 10(a) as an item
for which Seller will indemnify Buyer); (3) any taxes (including, without limitation, fees, assessments and penalties) incurred
by, imposed on or assessed against the Business on or after the Closing Date (except as specifically enumerated in Section 10(a)
as an item for which Seller will indemnify Buyer); and (4) Assumed Liabilities.

12.         Non-Competition
and Non Solicitation Covenants of Seller. Seller agree that from and after the Closing Date and until April 10, 2018, Seller
will not, directly or indirectly, engage in (whether as an employee, consultant, proprietor, partner, director or otherwise), or
have any ownership interest in, or participate in the financing, operation, management or control of, any person, firm, corporation
or business that engages in a Restricted Business (as defined below) in a Restricted Territory (as defined below). It is agreed
that passive ownership of no more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting or profits interest of any publicly held entity
or business shall not constitute a violation of this provision. “Restricted Business” shall mean any temporary
staffing business. “Restricted Territory” shall mean the area encompassed by a circle, the center point of which
is Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio and the radius of which is one hundred fifty (150) miles. Seller further agree that from
and after the Closing Date and until April 10, 2018, Seller will not solicit, recruit, hire, encourage or take any other action
which is intended to induce any employee of Buyer to terminate his or her employment with Buyer (other than through or as a result
of the placement or sponsorship of a general advertisement for employment not specifically targeted at any employees of Buyer).
The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement until April 10, 2018.

(c)          Assignability;
Parties in Interest. No Party to this Agreement shall assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of its rights, duties,
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, and any attempted assignment without such
prior written consent shall be void ab initio. Except as limited by the foregoing, all the terms and provisions of this

(f)          Severability.

shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, or the application of the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision
