1.2    Purchase Price.  In consideration for the conveyance of the Company Securities and in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the aggregate purchase price to be paid to the Seller for the Company Securities to be purchased pursuant to Section 1.1 will be an aggregate amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal to:
(a)    $41,500,000 in cash (the “Closing Cash Consideration Amount”); and
(b)    Subject to Section 1.2(c), payments in cash calculated as follows (the “Earn-Out Payments”):
(i)    during the First Earn-Out Period:
(A)    if Net Revenues for the applicable three-month period equals or exceeds eighty-four percent (84%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Revenues;
(B)    if Net Revenues for the applicable three-month period equals or exceeds seventy-four percent (74%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period and is less than eighty-four percent (84%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period, an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such Net Revenues;
(C)    if Net Revenues for the applicable three-month period equals or exceeds sixty-five percent (65%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period and is less than seventy-four percent (74%) of the Business Pan with respect to such three-month period, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Net Revenues;
(D)    if Net Revenues for the applicable three-month period is less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period, no payment shall be made with respect to such three-month period.
(ii)    during the Second Earn-Out Period:
(A)    if Net Revenues for the applicable three-month period equals or exceeds eighty-four percent (84%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period, an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such Net Revenues;

2
25014300v.8

(D)    if Net Revenues for the applicable period is less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Business Plan with respect to such three-month period, no payment shall be made with respect to such three-month period.
(iii)    The Purchaser will calculate and make the Earn-Out Payments on a trimonthly basis for each full three-month period during the Earn-Out Periods within thirty (30) days following the end of such three-month period; provided, that, acceptance of such Earn-Out Payments will not affect the Seller’s rights under Section 1.2(b)(v); provided further, that, following the expiration of the First Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser will calculate (the “True-Up Calculation”) the aggregate payment amount for the entire First Earn-Out Period as determined under Section 1.2(b)(i) (but determined in the aggregate based on the entirety of the First Earn-Out Period, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.2(c), rather than on a trimonthly basis), and deliver such calculation in writing to the Seller (an “Earn-Out Statement”) within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the First Earn-Out Period.  If such aggregate payment amount for the entirety of the First Earn-Out Period (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.2(c)) is (A) greater than the aggregate trimonthly Earn-Out Payments paid in respect of the First Earn-Out Period (including deemed payments under Section 1.4(b)(vii), Article 9 and this Section 1.2(b)(iii) and the Earn-Out Payment amounts calculated for any months within the First Earn-Out Period with respect to which a trimonthly payment or deemed payment has not yet been made), the Purchaser will pay such excess amount to the Seller or (B) less than the aggregate trimonthly payments paid in respect of the First Earn-Out Period (including deemed payments under Section 1.4(b)(vii), Article 9 and this Section 1.2(b)(iii) and the Earn-Out Payment amounts calculated for any months within the First Earn-Out Period with respect to which a trimonthly payment or deemed payment has not yet been made), the Seller will pay such difference to the Purchaser.  If the Purchaser is entitled to receive an amount from the Seller based on the True-Up Calculation (and after resolution of any dispute related thereto under Section 1.2(b)(v)), (X) the Seller will pay such amount to the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after such amount is finally determined under this Section 1.2(b) and (Y) the Purchaser will be entitled to offset such amount against payments due in respect of the Second Earn-Out Period (and such offset amounts shall be “deemed payments” for purposes of the True-Up Calculation hereunder).  If, based on the True-Up Calculation for the First Earn-Out Period and after resolution of any dispute related thereto under Section 1.2(b)(v), it is determined that the Purchaser owes additional Earn-Out Payments to the Seller, the Purchaser will pay such amount to the Seller within ten (10) Business Days after such amount is finally determined under this Section 1.2(b).  In the event the Purchaser fails to pay the Seller when due any amount owed under this Section 1.2(b), the Purchaser will pay the Seller interest on such amount at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until such amount is paid in full.  The Purchaser shall not subordinate any of its payment or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, other than under its existing secured indebtedness as of the Closing Date (as such indebtedness may be amended, replaced or refinanced from time to time or increased from time to time up to an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, such subordination will not relieve the Purchaser of any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including its obligation to pay any applicable interest as described in this paragraph.

3
25014300v.8

(iv)    During the Earn-Out Periods, the Purchaser will:
(A)    maintain a separate accounting for the Company for purposes of determining Net Revenues of the Company;
(B)    act in good faith in commercially supporting the business of the Company, including with a view to allowing the Company the opportunity to earn the Earn-Out Payments for the Seller, including but not limited to making commercially reasonable capital available to the Company consistent with its ordinary course budgeting; and
(C)    not, and will cause the Company not to, take any action, or omit to take any action, in bad faith with an intent to reduce the ability of the Company to earn the Earn-Out Payments for the Seller.
(v)    Dispute Resolution.  Following delivery of each Earn-Out Statement pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(iii), the Purchaser will provide the Seller with such information and documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Seller for purposes of reviewing the applicable Earn-Out Statement and the Purchaser will make its employees, advisors and Representatives reasonably available (during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice) to the Seller for the purposes of discussing the applicable Earn-Out Statement and the calculations and determinations contained therein.  During the thirty (30) day period following the Purchaser’s delivery of each Earn-Out Statement, the Seller may object to any of the calculations and determinations contained in such Earn-Out Statement by delivering written notice thereof to the Purchaser (an “Earn-Out Objection Notice”) describing such objection in reasonable detail.  If no Earn-Out Objection Notice is delivered to the Purchaser within the applicable period or if the Seller delivers to the Purchaser a notice of acceptance of the calculations and determinations, the Seller will no longer be able to challenge the applicable Earn-Out Statement or any of the calculations or determinations contained therein, all of which will become final and binding on the Parties.  If an Earn-Out Objection Notice is timely delivered, the Purchaser and the Seller will attempt in good faith to resolve the objections stated therein.  If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after an Earn-Out Objection Notice has been given, the Purchaser and the Seller will submit all unresolved objections contained in the Earn-Out Objection Notice to the Independent Accountant.  The Independent Accountant will be directed to review such items in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.2(b)(iv) as if they applied to the resolution of such objections mutatis mutandis and, within thirty (30) days, make a determination of such objections.  The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accountant will be final and binding on the Parties, absent Fraud.  The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be borne as specified in the procedures set forth in Section 1.4(b)(iv) as if they applied to the resolution of the objections pursuant to this Section 1.2(b)(v) mutatis mutandis.  If an additional payment is due to be paid to the Seller or the Purchaser pursuant to determination by the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 1.2(b)(iv), the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, will pay to the other Party such payment within ten (10) Business Days after such determination.
(vi)    For purposes of this Section 1.2(b): (A) “Net Revenues” means (1) 100% of the revenues, less the associated revenue shares, related to sales of the Company’s existing products as of the date hereof, including, but not limited to those listed on Schedule 1.2(b)(vi)(1), 

4
25014300v.8

and any successor, derivative, related or later versions of such products or other products within the scope of the Business (collectively, the “Company Products”) to any of the Company’s customers or prospects listed on Schedule 1.2(b)(vi)(1) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, end user consumers); and (2) 25% of all other net revenues related to sales of the Company Products, in each case, net revenues of the Company as determined in accordance with GAAP; (B) “First Earn-Out Period” means the nine-month period beginning on the first day of the first full calendar month following the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the ninth full calendar month following the Closing Date; (C) “Second Earn-Out Period” means the three-month period beginning on the first day following the expiration of the First Earn-Out Period and ending on the last day of the twelfth full calendar month following the Closing Date; and (D) “Earn-Out Period” means either the First Earn-Out Period or the Second Earn-Out Period and “Earn-Out Periods” means collectively the First Earn-Out Period and the Second Earn-Out Period.
The Purchase Price will be paid in the manner set forth in Sections 1.3 and 1.4.  Upon receipt of finally determined Earn-Out Payments by the Seller, the Purchaser will have no further liability arising out of the further distribution of such Earn-Out Payments to the Seller Parties and other holders of Securities of the Seller.
(c)    If, during the Earn-Out Period, the Identified Party terminates the Identified Contract (other than a termination as a result of a Breach of such Identified Contract caused by the Purchaser) and none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates enter into any Contract with the Identified Party or any of its Affiliates during the 12-month period following such termination, then the effective date of such termination shall serve as the final date of the Earn-Out Periods under this Agreement and no Earn-Out Payments will be made with respect to Net Revenues for the periods following such date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the True-Up Calculation with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Period shall be adjusted accordingly so that the post-termination period has no impact on the achievement of the Earn-Out Payments based on pre-termination Net Revenues.
(d)    If, prior to the expiration of the sixth (6th) complete month during the First Earn-Out-Period, Jonathan Jackson ceases to be employed by the Company to manage the Business for a period of longer than 10 Business Days, other than due to voluntary termination of employment by Mr. Jackson for longer than 10 Business Days or the termination of Mr. Jackson’s employment as a result of his death or disability or a termination by the Company for Cause (the “Acceleration Condition”), then, for the month during which the Acceleration Condition occurs and each month remaining during the Earn-Out Periods, (i) the Earn-Out Payments will be calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(b)(i)(A) for such months during the First Earn-Out Period and Section 1.2(b)(ii)(A) for such months during the Second Earn-Out Period, (ii) the Net Revenues for each such month will, (A) if the Net Revenues for the month during which the Acceleration Condition occurs is less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Business Plan with respect to such month, be deemed to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Business Plan with respect to each such month, and (B) if the Net Revenues for the month during which the Acceleration Condition occurs equal or exceed one-hundred percent (100%) of the Business Plan with respect to such month, be deemed to equal one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Business Plan with respect to each such month (the payments calculated in accordance with clause (i) and clause (ii), the “Acceleration Condition Payments”), and (iii) all Acceleration Condition Payments will be due and payable to Seller within 10 Business Days following the end of the three-month period during which the Acceleration Condition occurs.

5
25014300v.8

(e)    During the Earn-Out Periods, the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller financial and business information and reports prepared by the Purchaser or the Company reasonably relating to Purchaser’s calculations of the Earn-Out Payments, including but not limited to all information reasonably requested by the Seller related to the Earn-Out Payments.
1.3    Payments at Closing.  
(a)    Closing Payment Amount.  Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.4, on the Closing Date, the Purchaser will pay to the Seller an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Closing Cash Consideration Amount, minus (ii) the General Escrow Amount, minus (iii) the Special Escrow Amount, minus (iv) the Indebtedness Payoff Amount, minus (v) the unpaid Transaction Expenses, plus (vi) the amount of Cash as of the Closing, plus (vii) the Estimated Working Capital Surplus, if applicable, minus (viii) the Estimated Working Capital Shortfall, if applicable (such net amount, the “Closing Payment Amount”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount and to the bank account(s) set forth on the Funds Flow.  Upon receipt of the Closing Payment Amount by the Seller or its designees in accordance with the Funds Flow, the Purchaser will have no further liability arising out of the further distribution of the Closing Payment Amount to the Seller Parties and other holders of Securities of the Seller.
(b)    Payment of Indebtedness.  On the Closing Date, the Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, the Indebtedness Payoff Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Closing Indebtedness Holder(s) or bank account(s) specified in such payoff letter(s) and instructions delivered by the Closing Indebtedness Holder(s) (the “Payoff Letter(s)”) with respect to the Indebtedness Payoff Amount set forth on the Funds Flow.  Pursuant to any such Payoff Letter(s), each Closing Indebtedness Holder will have been paid in full for any and all outstanding notes (or similar debt instruments) relating to such Closing Indebtedness Holder’s Indebtedness Payoff Amount and, in the event such Indebtedness Payoff Amount is secured, all related Liens will have been released with corresponding Lien releases being delivered to the Purchaser concurrently upon such Closing Indebtedness Holder’s receipt of payment of the amount specified, with the result that immediately following the Closing there will be no outstanding Indebtedness Payoff Amount or any other obligation with respect (including any Lien or Guarantees) to the Purchaser and the Company to any Closing Indebtedness Holder.
(c)    Payment of Transaction Expenses.  On the Closing Date, the Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company and the Seller Parties, the unpaid Transaction Expenses by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons and bank account(s) specified in the Funds Flow.
(d)    Escrow Account.  On the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deposit (i) $207,500 (the “General Escrow Amount”) and (ii) if the Specified Matter has not been settled or otherwise resolved prior to the Closing Date, $500,000 (the “Special Escrow Amount”), provided that, if the Specified Matter has been settled or otherwise resolved, then the Special Escrow Amount will not be deposited, into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent, to be held and disbursed pursuant to an escrow agreement by and among the Purchaser, the Seller, and the Escrow Agent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”).  The General Escrow Amount together with all interest and earnings thereon (the “General Escrow Funds”) will be used 

6
25014300v.8

for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties, as applicable, and the post-Closing adjustments to the Purchase Price set forth in this Agreement.  The Special Escrow Amount together with all interest and earnings thereon (the “Special Escrow Funds” and, together with the General Escrow Funds, the “Escrow Funds”) will be used for the purpose of settling or otherwise resolving the Specified Matter.  The Escrow Funds will be held as a trust fund and will not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and will be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. 
1.4    Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a)    Pre-Closing Adjustments.  No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller will prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) signed by a Representative of the Seller setting forth the Seller’s good faith estimate (as of the Closing Date) of (A) the Indebtedness Payoff Amount to be paid pursuant to Section 1.3(b) (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (B) the estimated aggregate amount of all Transaction Expenses to be paid pursuant to Section 1.3(c) (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (C) the Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (D) the estimated amount of Cash (the “Estimated Cash Amount”), and (E) the Closing Payment Amount payable to the Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.3(a), based on, among other things, the foregoing clauses (A) through (D).  Each of the foregoing calculations will be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail therefor.  From and after the delivery of the Pre-Closing Statement, the Seller will provide the Purchaser and its Representatives with reasonable access to the financial books and records and other information of the Company or that were used in the preparation of the Pre-Closing Statement that the Purchaser may reasonably request.  In the event the Purchaser disagrees with any of the calculations set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement, including the Estimated Working Capital (or any of the components thereof), (y) the Purchaser will notify the Seller in writing of such disagreement, setting forth the basis of such disagreement and (z) the Seller will consider in good faith the Purchaser’s comments to the Pre-Closing Statement and/or any of the components thereof or calculations therein.
(b)    Post-Closing Adjustments.  
(i)    No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth the Purchaser’s good faith calculation (as of the Closing Date) of (A) the Indebtedness Payoff Amount (the “Final Indebtedness”), (B) the aggregate amount of all unpaid Transaction Expenses (the “Final Transaction Expenses”), (C) the Working Capital (the “Final Working Capital”), (D) the amount of Cash (the “Final Cash Amount”), and (E) the Closing Payment Amount (the “Final Closing Payment Amount”), based on, among other things, the foregoing clauses (A) through (D).  Each of the foregoing calculations will be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail therefor.  During the period commencing on the date the Post-Closing Statement is delivered to the Seller and ending forty-five (45) days thereafter (the “Review Period”), the Purchaser will provide the Seller with reasonable access during normal business hours with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice to any working papers, documents, and data from the Purchaser and/or the Company that were used to prepare the Post-Closing Statement.

25014300v.8

(ii)    During the Review Period, the Seller may provide written notice to the Purchaser disputing all or any part of the Final Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses, the Final Working Capital, the Final Cash Amount, and/or the Final Closing Payment Amount, specifying in reasonable detail those items that the Seller disputes (the proposed adjustment(s) or disputed item(s) to which the Seller objects are referred to herein as the “Disputed Amounts” and the Seller’s objection notice is referred to herein as the “Objection Notice”).  If the Seller does not provide an Objection Notice with respect to any such amounts prior to the expiration of the Review Period, any such amounts not so objected to will be final, binding, non-appealable, and conclusive on the Parties.  
(iii)    If the Seller delivers an Objection Notice to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Seller and the Purchaser will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Amounts for twenty (20) days following the Purchaser’s receipt of the Objection Notice (or such longer period as may be agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and the Seller, the “Negotiation Period”).  If, during the Negotiation Period, the Seller and the Purchaser are able to resolve any Disputed Amounts, then such agreed upon amounts will be set forth in a writing executed by the Purchaser and the Seller and will become final, binding, non-appealable, and conclusive on the Parties.
(iv)    If a final resolution is not obtained within the Negotiation Period, the Purchaser and the Seller will retain for the benefit of all the Parties a nationally recognized public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountant”) to resolve any remaining Disputed Amounts.  If the Independent Accountant is retained, then (A) the Purchaser and the Seller will each submit to the Independent Accountant in writing, not later than fifteen (15) days after the Independent Accountant is retained, their respective positions with respect to the Disputed Amounts, together with such supporting documentation as they deem necessary or as the Independent Accountant requests, and (B) the Independent Accountant will, within thirty (30) days after receiving the positions of both the Seller and the Purchaser and all supplementary supporting documentation requested by the Independent Accountant (or such longer period as may be requested by the Independent Accountant), render its decision as to the Disputed Amounts in a written report, which decision will be final, binding, nonappealable, and conclusive on the Parties.  Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller will have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Independent Accountant without the other Party either being present (or having waived or declined its right to be present) or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication.  The Purchaser and the Seller, and their respective Representatives, will cooperate fully with the Independent Accountant during its engagement and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Independent Accountant, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all Disputed Amounts as promptly as reasonably practicable.  The Parties will be entitled to have a judgment entered on such written report in any court of competent jurisdiction.  In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant (w) may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either the Purchaser or the Seller, or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either the Purchaser or the Seller, in each case, as presented to the Independent Accountant, (x) will be bound by the principles set forth in this Agreement, (y) will act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and (z) will limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Objection Notice.  The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be paid by the Party whose estimate of the Disputed Amounts is furthest from the Independent Accountant’s calculation of the Disputed Amounts (in addition to any costs and expenses pursuant to Section 11.11).

25014300v.8

(v)    The final and binding amounts of the Indebtedness Payoff Amount, the Transaction Expenses, the Working Capital, and the Cash, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.4, will be the “Actual Indebtedness,” the “Actual Transaction Expenses,” the “Actual Working Capital,” and the “Actual Cash Amount,” respectively. 
(vi)    For purposes of this Agreement, the “Adjustment Amount” means an amount (which may be a negative number) equal to the sum of (A) the Estimated Indebtedness minus the Actual Indebtedness, plus (B) the Estimated Transaction Expenses minus the Actual Transaction Expenses, plus (C) the Actual Working Capital minus the Estimated Working Capital, plus (D) the Actual Cash Amount minus the Estimated Cash Amount.
(vii)    If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the date on which such amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.4, the Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid to the Seller an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  Upon receipt (if any) by the Seller of the Adjustment Amount, the Purchaser will have no further liability arising out of payment of the Adjustment Amount to the Seller Parties and other holders of Securities of the Seller.  If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then (i) promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) after the date on which such amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.4 the Purchaser and the Seller will instruct the Escrow Agent to pay from the Escrow Account to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable account set forth in the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) (A) in the event the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount is greater than the General Escrow Amount, promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following such transfer from the Escrow Account, the Seller Parties will replenish the Escrow Account with an amount of cash equal to the amount of the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount and (B) in the event the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount is less than the Escrow Account, promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following such transfer from the Escrow Account, the Seller Parties will replenish the Escrow Account with an amount of cash equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount.  If for any reason the General Escrow Amount is not of a sufficient amount to pay the Purchaser the Adjustment Amount, then the Seller Parties shall within the time periods set forth in (i) and (ii) above (a) pay such amount to the Purchaser to ensure the Purchaser receives the full Adjustment Amount and (b) replenish the Escrow Account with an amount of cash equal to the General Escrow Amount.  The Purchaser will also be entitled to offset any Adjustment Amount payable to the Purchaser hereunder against any Earn-Out Payments due to the Seller hereunder (and any such offset amounts will be “deemed payments” for purposes of the True-Up Calculation under Section 1.2(b)(iii)).
1.5    Seller 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.  All outstanding profits interests and equity awards related to Securities of the Seller issued or granted under the Organizational Documents of the Seller and/or the Seller’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan will be, as of the Closing Date, fully vested in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and will be entitled to participate in the distribution of proceeds from the Purchase Price received by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Organizational Documents of the Seller, such Incentive Plan and the award agreements governing such profits interests and awards.

25014300v.8

1.6    R&W Insurance Policy.  Effective on the date hereof, the Purchaser will obtain the R&W Insurance Policy on terms and conditions set forth in the R&W Insurance Binder.  The costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance, including the total premium, underwriting fees, reasonable brokerage commissions (if any), and regulatory taxes and fees, and other fees and expenses of such policy, will be borne 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the Seller Parties (and such amount borne by the Seller Parties will be considered Transaction Expenses hereunder).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include such information which: (i) at the time of disclosure is publicly available or thereafter becomes publicly available through no act or omission of such Seller Party; (ii) is thereafter disclosed or furnished to such Seller Party by a third party who is not known by such Seller Party to have acquired the information under an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is independently developed by such Seller Party after the Closing Date without the use of, reliance on, or reference to, Confidential Information; or (iv) is disclosed by such Seller Party (subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this subsection (a)) under compulsion of applicable Law.
(b)    Non-Competition.
(i)    Each Key Holder is familiar with the Trade Secrets related to the Company and the Business, and with other Confidential Information concerning the Company and the Business, including all (A) inventions, technology, software, code, and research and development related to the Business, (B) customers, vendors, and suppliers, and customer, vendor, and supplier lists related to the Business, (C) products (including products under development) and services related to the Business and related costs and pricing structures and procedural techniques, (D) accounting and business methods and practices related to the Business, and (E) similar and related confidential information and Trade Secrets related to the Business.  Each Key Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be irreparably damaged if such Key Holder were to directly or indirectly provide services to any Person competing with the Business and that such direct or indirect competition by such Key Holder would result in a significant loss of goodwill by the Company.
(ii)    In further consideration for the Purchaser’s payment of the Purchase Price under this Agreement (in respect of which payment each of the Key Holders expressly acknowledges that it derives a substantial and direct benefit), and in order to protect the value of the Company and the Business acquired by the Purchaser hereunder (including the goodwill inherent in the Company and the Business), which represents a legitimate business interest, each Seller Party (on his, her, or its behalf and on behalf of each of his, her, or its Affiliates’ behalf) hereby agrees that during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Key Holder will not acquire or hold any economic, financial, or other interest (including equity or debt securities) in, act as an equity holder or Representative of, render any services to, or otherwise operate or hold an interest (whether an equity interest or otherwise) in any Person having any location in the Restricted Area, which entity, enterprise or other Person primarily engages in, or engages in the management or operation of any Person that primarily engages in, any business that competes with the Business as conducted by the Company as of the Closing Date; provided, however, nothing contained herein will be construed to prohibit such Key Holder from purchasing up to an aggregate of one percent (1%) of any class of the outstanding voting securities of any other Person whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange (but only if such investment is held on a purely passive basis and does not violate any restrictive covenant hereunder).

39
25014300v.8

(c)    Non-Solicitation.  During the Restricted Period, neither the Seller nor any of the Key Holders (on his, her, or its behalf and on behalf of each of his, her, or its Affiliates’ behalf) will, directly or indirectly, either individually or acting in concert with another Person or Persons:
(i)    request, induce, or attempt to influence any distributor, supplier, customer, vendor, or other business relationship of the Company as of the date of this Agreement to curtail, cancel, or refrain from maintaining or increasing the amount or type of business such distributor, supplier, customer, vendor, or other business relationship of the Company is currently transacting with the Company or modify in a manner unfavorable to the Company its pricing or other terms of sale with the Business;
(ii)    solicit for employment or retention or hire, employ, or retain any Person who is an employee of the Company as of the Closing Date, except that the placing of general advertisements in newspapers, magazines, or electronic media shall not, in itself, be a violation of this Section 6.2(c)(ii) so long as such general advertisements or similar notices are not targeted specifically at any employee or contractor of the Company or the Business; or
(iii)    influence or attempt to influence any Person who is an employee or contractor of the Company as of the Closing Date to terminate his or her employment or engagement with the Company or the Business, except that the placing of general advertisements in newspapers, magazines, or electronic media shall not, in itself, be a violation of this Section 6.2(c)(iii) so long as such general advertisements or similar notices are not targeted specifically at any employee or contractor of the Company or the Business.
(d)    Severability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time, in any judicial or arbitration proceeding, any of the restrictions stated in this Section 6.2 are found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then existing, the Parties each agree that the period, scope, or geographical area, as the case may be, will be reduced to the extent necessary to enable the court to enforce the restrictions to the extent such provisions are allowable under applicable Law, giving effect to the agreement and intent of the Parties that the restrictions contained herein will be effective to the fullest extent permissible.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator has issued a final order finding a Seller Party to be in Breach or violation of any of the provisions of this Section 6.2, the Restricted Period, as applicable to such Seller Party, will be tolled for so long as such Seller Party was found to be in violation of such provision.  Each Seller Party agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable in all respects and necessary to protect the Purchaser’s interest in, and the value of, the Business.
(e)    Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief.  Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a Breach by any Seller Party of any of the provisions of this Section 6.2, the Purchaser would suffer irreparable harm, no adequate remedy at Law would exist for the Purchaser, and damages would be difficult to determine.  Consequently, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in the Purchaser’s favor, the Purchaser may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 6.2, in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond (or similar security) or proving actual damages.

40
25014300v.8

6.3    Public Announcements.  None of the Seller Parties, the Purchaser, nor any Affiliate or Representative of such Persons (as applicable), will disclose any of the terms of this Agreement to any third party without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless required by Law.  No press releases, public announcements, or publicity statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be released by any Party, unless required by Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will restrict the ability of, after the Closing, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from disclosing this Agreement and the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby with any prospective acquiror of the Business and/or the Company and its Representatives.
6.4    Use of Name.  The Seller and the Equityholders hereby acknowledge and agree that following the Closing the Purchaser and the Company will have the sole right to the use of the name “Mobile Posse,” and the marks listed in Section 2.19(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or any service marks, trademarks, trade names, identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs or insignia related thereto or containing or comprising the foregoing, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Company Marks”).  The Seller and the Equityholders will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, use such name or any variation or simulation thereof or any of the Company Marks other than in connection with performing their obligations under their employment or consulting arrangement with the Company.
6.5    Employees and Benefits.
(a)    For at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided to all employees of the Company who remain employed thereafter (the “Continuing Employees”) aggregate base salary, wages, bonus opportunity and other compensation and benefits that is as favorable as the aggregate base salary, wages, bonus opportunity and other compensation and benefits paid by the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    On and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to work with its insurance carriers to (i) ensure, or cause to ensure, that no limitations or exclusions as to pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability or good health, waiting periods or actively-at-work exclusions or other limitations or restrictions on coverage are applicable to any Continuing Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries under any welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employees or their dependents or beneficiaries may be eligible to participate, and (ii) provide or cause to be provided that any costs or expenses incurred by Continuing Employees (and their dependents or beneficiaries) up to (and including) the Closing Date shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, co-payment, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket provisions and like adjustments or limitations on coverage under any such welfare benefit plans.
(c)    With respect to each employee benefit plan, policy or practice, including severance, vacation and paid time off plans, policies or practices (excluding equity compensation), sponsored or maintained by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing), the Purchaser shall grant, or cause to be granted to, all Continuing Employees from and after the Closing Date credit for all service with the Company and its predecessors prior to the Closing 

41
25014300v.8

Date for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting credit, eligibility to commence benefits, benefit accrual and severance, but excluding benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan and any such credit that would result in a duplication of benefits.
(d)    Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring the Purchaser or Company to continue any specific plans or to continue the employment of any Continuing Employee. 
6.6    R&W Insurance Policy.  During the term of the R&W Insurance Policy, the Purchaser (i) shall, and shall cause the Company and its Affiliates to, maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect and (ii) shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, (A) amend, repeal or modify any provision of the R&W Insurance Policy without Seller’s prior written express consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being understood that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold consent in the event that any such amendment, repeal or modification would adversely affect the Seller, in Seller’s reasonable discretion), (B) take any action or omit to take any action that would result in the cancellation, termination, amendment or modification of the R&W Insurance Policy or coverage thereunder other than by payment of claims thereunder, and (C) permit the assignment, substitution or transfer of the rights or obligations of the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy other than as allowed by the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy.

ARTICLE 8
TAX MATTERS
8.1    Pre-Closing Returns.  The Purchaser will prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared or timely filed, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by, or with respect to, the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are not filed as of the Closing Date (each a “Pre-Closing Return”).  The Purchaser will submit each such Pre-Closing Return to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment no later than forty-five (45) days before the due date for such Pre-Closing Return, in the case of an income Tax Return, and as soon as practicable in the case of all other Pre-Closing Returns.  No later than fifteen (15) days following the Seller’s receipt of a Pre-Closing Return, the Seller will notify the Purchaser in writing of any dispute with respect to the manner in which such Pre-Closing Return is prepared, or the related Tax is calculated.  If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve a dispute with respect to any such Pre-Closing Return within a period of fifteen (15) days following the Purchaser’s receipt of notice of any disputed items, then any disputed items will be resolved in accordance with Section 1.4 mutatis mutandis.  All Pre-Closing Returns will be prepared, and all elections with respect to such Pre-Closing Returns will be made, in accordance with applicable Law and, unless inconsistent with applicable Law, in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company.  Within five (5) days after the later of (a) the Seller’s approval of any Pre-Closing 

45
25014300v.8

Return, and (b) the resolution of any dispute with respect to such Pre-Closing Returns, the Seller Parties will pay to the Company the amount of Taxes due with respect to such Pre-Closing Return to the extent there are Pre-Closing Taxes.  Nothing hereunder will limit the right of the Company to file any Pre-Closing Return on a timely basis; provided, however, that a previously filed Pre-Closing Return will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect resolution of any disputed items contrary to the reporting on such Pre-Closing Return.
8.2    Allocations.  For purposes of this Agreement and the determination of indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties, in the case of any Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period will be determined as follows: (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, gains, or receipts, payroll or any Taxes other than Property Taxes, attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of such Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; and (ii) the amount of any Property Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of such Straddle Period will be the total amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period up to and including the Closing Date, and (y) the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period.  For purposes of determining income Taxes for which the Seller Parties shall be responsible in respect of any such short taxable year or deemed short taxable year, such amounts equal to any item of loss or deduction properly deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes resulting from or attributable to the Final Transaction Expenses and  Final Indebtedness shall be treated as deductible in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
8.3    Cooperation and Records Retention.  The Seller and the Purchaser will (a) each provide the other, and the Purchaser will cause the Company to provide the Seller, with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, audit, or other examination by any Taxing Authority or judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, (b) each retain and provide the other, and the Purchaser will cause the Company to retain and provide the Seller with, any records or other information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding, or determination, and (c) each provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding, or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Tax Return of the other or the Company for any period.  Each Party will bear its own expenses in complying with the provisions of this Section 8.3.
8.4    Termination of Tax Arrangements.  Other than any Ordinary Course Agreement, all Tax sharing, Tax allocation and similar agreements and arrangements, other than commercial agreements, including, but not limited to leases and loan agreements, to which the Company is a party and pursuant to which the Company or the Purchaser may have any obligations or responsibilities with respect to Taxes, will be terminated prior to the Closing, and the Company will have no further obligations or responsibilities thereunder following the Closing.
8.5    Transfer Taxes.  The Seller Parties, in the aggregate, and the Purchaser will each be responsible for and will pay one-half of all Transfer Taxes.  The Party required by Law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes will do so in the time and manner prescribed by Law, and the non-filing Party will promptly reimburse the filing Party for its share of any Transfer Taxes upon 

46
25014300v.8

receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the non-filing Party of the amount of such Transfer Taxes.
8.6    Withholding.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Purchaser will have the right to deduct and withhold any required Taxes from any payments to be made hereunder.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the applicable Seller Party or any other recipient of payment in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
8.7    Tax Refunds.  Any cash Tax refunds of the Company that are received by any member of the Company, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, and any amounts applied as a credit against Taxes of the Company, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, that represent an overpayment of Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, as well as any refundable Tax credits for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that are received by the Company, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, will be for the account of the Seller, except to the extent that the amount was taken into account as an increase to the Purchase Price.  The calculation of the amount of the refund or credit attributable to any Tax period shall take into account any corresponding increase in Taxes due to the extent not otherwise previously reimbursed under this Agreement.  Any refund or credit attributable to an overpayment of Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the remainder of the Straddle Period according to the provisions of Section 8.2.  Purchaser or its Affiliates (as applicable) will, or will cause the Company to, pay over to the Seller any amount payable to the Seller under this Section 8.7 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such refund or application of such credit against Tax, net of:  (i) any out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refunds or applications and (ii) any Tax incurred by the Company, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates with respect to such Tax refund and any Tax required to be withheld with respect to such payment.
ARTICLE 9

47
25014300v.8

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the representations, warranties, and indemnities for which an indemnification Claim will be pending as of the end of the applicable period referred to herein will survive with respect to such Claim until the final disposition thereof.
9.2    Monetary and Other Limitations.
(a)    The Seller Parties will have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds the General Escrow Amount; provided, that the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2(a) will not apply to (A) any Breaches of the Fundamental Representations or the Tax Representations, (B) any Losses related to or arising in connection with Fraud, (C) any Indemnified Taxes (collectively, items (A) through (C) of this Section 9.2(a) will be referred to as the “Limitation Carve-Outs”), or (D) the Specified Matter. 
(b)    Subject to the other limitations contained herein, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller Parties pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) will be equal to the General Escrow Amount; provided that with respect to (i) any Limitation Carve-Out, the maximum aggregate liability will be equal to the amount of the Purchase Price actually paid to the Seller (or if the indemnification claim is made prior to the Closing, the Closing Cash Consideration Amount) and (ii) with respect to the Specified Matter, the maximum aggregate liability will be equal to the Special Escrow Amount.
(c)    The Purchaser will have no obligation to indemnify the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 9.4, except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Parties exceeds an amount equal to the General Escrow Amount (the “Seller Deductible”) at which time, the Seller Parties shall be entitled to recover such Losses equal to the Seller Deductible and any Losses in excess of the Seller Deductible.
(d)    No Party will be entitled to receive indemnification for any matter in which there has been a corresponding adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining whether any Breach of a representation or warranty occurred and for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses resulting from any such Breach of a representation or warranty, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation or warranty relating to or referring to the terms “material,” “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or any similar term or phrase will be disregarded and the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement will be read as if such terms and phrases were not included in them.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the right of any Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will not be limited by reason of any facts or circumstances known to them or their Representatives at any time or resulting from any Breach of any covenant, agreement, representation, or warranty of which any Indemnitee or its Representatives has knowledge at any time, or the decision of any Indemnitee to consummate the Closing, and (ii) the Purchaser will have the right, irrespective of any knowledge or investigation of the Purchaser (or of its Affiliates or Representatives), to rely fully on the representations, warranties, and covenants of the Seller Parties and the Company contained herein.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this 

48
25014300v.8

Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not be liable under this Article 9 for any Losses relating to any matter to the extent that the Indemnitee shall have otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to, or the Loss was taken into account under, any other provision of this Agreement, so as to avoid duplication or “double counting” of the same Loss.
(g)    The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for under this Agreement shall be reduced by (i) any amounts actually received by the Indemnitee as a result of any indemnification, contribution or other payment by any third party, net of any costs of collection and (ii) any insurance proceeds (including pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy) or other amounts actually received by the Indemnitee from third parties with respect to such Losses, net of the present value of any increases in premiums directly attributable to the applicable Losses, any costs of collection, Taxes, deductibles or other costs or expenses resulting from making any claims thereunder.

(c)    any non-fulfillment or Breach of any covenant or obligation on the part of the Company or any Seller Party under this Agreement;

25014300v.8

9.4    Indemnification by the Purchaser.  Subject to the terms of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Seller Parties from, against, and in respect of, any and all Losses resulting from, or in respect of, any of the following:
(a)    any Breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 4; and
(b)    any non-fulfillment or Breach of any covenant or obligation on the part of the Purchaser under this Agreement.
9.5    Notice of Claims; Third Party Claims; Direct Claims.
(a)    Notice of Claim.  Should any party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) for any Claim, liability, or obligation from any other Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnitor”) obtain actual knowledge of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to the other Party’s liability under this Article 9, it will give written notice thereof to the Indemnitor as promptly as practicable after the Indemnitee obtains knowledge of such event (provided that the failure to timely provide such notice will not impair the rights of the Indemnitee to seek indemnification from the Indemnitor except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice).  Such notice (hereinafter the “Notice of Claim”) will specify (i) whether the Claim is based upon a Claim made by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) or is not based upon a Claim made by a third party (a “Direct Claim”), and (ii) in reasonable detail (on the basis of the information then available), the grounds and, to the extent known or determinable, the amount of the Loss.
(b)    Third Party Claims.  
(i)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following procedures will be applicable with respect to indemnification for Third Party Claims.  Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of a notice of the commencement of any action or the assertion of any Claim, liability or obligation by a third party (whether by legal process or otherwise), against which Claim, liability, or obligation the Indemnitor is, or may be, required under this Agreement to indemnify such Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will, if a Claim thereon is to be, or may be, made against the Indemnitor, provide the Notice of Claim and give the Indemnitor a copy, to the extent then available, of such Claim, process, and all legal pleadings; provided, however, the failure to give such notice will not constitute a waiver or release of the Indemnitor, but the obligation of the Indemnitor will be reduced to the extent of any actual monetary prejudice resulting from the Indemnitee’s intentional delay or failure to give any such notice as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Indemnitor will have the right to (A) participate in the defense of such action with counsel of reputable standing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee and/or (B) assume the defense of such action, at its election, unless (1) such action is reasonably likely to result in injunctions or other equitable remedies in respect of the Indemnitee or its business, (2) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitee has been advised by legal counsel that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim, (3) such action is reasonably likely to result in criminal proceedings, injunctions, or other equitable remedies, (4) such action is reasonably likely have a material and adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Indemnitee after the Closing Date (including any material and adverse effect on the Tax liabilities, 

50
25014300v.8

earnings, or ongoing business relationships of the Indemnitee), or (5) upon petition by the Indemnitee, if an appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Claim, in which events the Indemnitee will assume the defense.  If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such action, the assertion of such right will constitute an acknowledgement by the Indemnitor and the action represents a Claim for which the Indemnitor is responsible under this Article 9 and is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in this Article 9.  The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee will cooperate in the defense of such Claims.  In the event that the Indemnitor assumes or participates in the defense of such Third Party Claim as provided herein, the Indemnitee will make available to the Indemnitor all relevant records and take such other action and sign such documents as are reasonably necessary to defend such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnitee will be required by judgment or a settlement agreement to pay any amount in respect of any obligation or liability for Losses against which the Indemnitor has agreed to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Indemnitor will, at the option of the Indemnitee, promptly make such payment of Losses or promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for such Losses.  In the event that the Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter for which it is entitled to assume such defense as provided above, the Indemnitee will have the full right to defend against any such Claim.
(ii)    Prior to paying or settling any Claim against which an Indemnitor is obligated under this Agreement to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee must first supply the Indemnitor with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such Claim or failing such judgment or decree, or must first supply the Indemnitor with a copy of a valid and binding settlement agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, an Indemnitor or Indemnitee shall not settle any Claim against it without the prior written approval of the other, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(iii)    An Indemnitee will have the right to employ its own counsel in any case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (A) the employment of such counsel will have been authorized in writing by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such Claim, (B) the Indemnitor did not exercise its rights to assume the defense with respect to such Claim, employ counsel in the defense of such Claim, or was not entitled to assume the defense pursuant to the terms of Section 9.5(b)(i), or (C) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitee will have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, in any of which events reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one additional counsel for the indemnified parties will be borne by the Indemnitor.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller may defend the litigation relating to the Specified Matter and may settle the Specified Matter for an amount equal to or less than the Special Escrow Amount and pursuant to a valid and binding settlement agreement in its sole discretion and may settle the Specified Matter for any other amount with the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided that in each case the settlement is for monetary damages only and without any restrictions on future actions of the Company (except for the provision of a release) and contains an express unconditional release of the Company.

51
25014300v.8

(c)    Direct Claims.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following procedures will be applicable with respect to Direct Claims.  With regard to Direct Claims, the Indemnitor, following receipt of the Notice of Claim, will have sixty (60) days from such receipt in order to carry out any investigations in relation to the Notice of Claim.  In order to facilitate such investigations, the Indemnitee will make available to the Indemnitor the information upon which the Indemnitee is basing its Notice of Claim, together with all other information, which the Indemnitor may reasonably request that the Indemnitee possesses or is able to obtain by using its commercially reasonable efforts.  Should the Parties, within the aforesaid sixty (60) day period (subject to any possible extensions agreed between them), agree, in whole or in part, upon the Indemnitor’s liability for the Claim, the Indemnitor will pay to the Indemnitee the entire agreed upon amount pursuant to the Claim.  In addition, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by both the Indemnitee and Indemnitor associated with Direct Claims will be paid by the non-prevailing Party, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties.
9.6    Security for the Indemnification Obligation.
(a)    Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9, any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party against the Seller Parties (or any of them, and including the Company in the event of a pre-Closing indemnification claim) pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) other than arising out of or resulting from a Breach of a Fundamental Representation or a Breach of a Tax Representation or Fraud, will be satisfied first from the portion of the General Escrow Funds, if any, then held and not previously distributed pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (and the Seller will promptly execute and deliver any necessary instructions to or for the Escrow Agent in this regard) and thereafter by the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, that in the event of a pre-Closing indemnification claim, such claim will be satisfied by the Company in cash.
(b)    Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9, any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party against the Seller Parties (or any of them, and including the Company in the event of a pre-Closing indemnification claim) arising out of or resulting from a Breach of a Fundamental Representation or a Breach of a Tax Representation, other than claims for indemnification arising out of or resulting from Fraud, shall be satisfied in the following order: (i) out of the portion of the General Escrow Funds, if any, then held and not previously distributed pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (and the Seller will promptly execute and deliver any necessary instructions to or for the Escrow Agent in this regard), then (ii) the R&W Insurance Policy, if and to the extent such Loss is covered thereunder, and then (iii) by any or a combination of the following: (A) by offset against any Earn-Out Payments due to the Seller hereunder (and any such offset amounts will be “deemed payments” for purposes of the True-Up Calculation under Section 1.2(b)(iii)), and (B) by the applicable Seller Parties (and in the event of a pre-Closing indemnification claim, by the Company) in cash.  The Purchaser shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to seek coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, including the timely and adequate delivery of notices of claims under the R&W Insurance Policy.
(c)    Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9, any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party against the Seller Parties (or any of them) pursuant to Sections 9.3(c) through 9.3(f) or arising out of or resulting from Fraud may be satisfied, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, by any or a combination of the following: (i) out of the portion of the 

52
25014300v.8

General Escrow Funds, if any, then held and not previously distributed pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (and the Seller will promptly execute and deliver any necessary instructions to or for the Escrow Agent in this regard), (ii) by the applicable Seller Parties (and in the event of a pre-Closing indemnification claim, by the Company) in cash, (iii) by offset against any Earn-Out Payments due to the Seller hereunder (and any such offset amounts will be “deemed payments” for purposes of the True-Up Calculation under Section 1.2(b)(iii) and (iv)) by the R&W Insurance Policy; 
(d)    Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 9, any claims for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party against the Seller Parties (or any of them) arising out of or in connection with the Specified Matter may only be satisfied from the Special Escrow Funds.
(e)    Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise a remedy will constitute an election of remedies or limit any Purchaser Indemnified Party in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to them.  All payments for indemnifiable Losses made pursuant to this Article 9 will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.
(f)    Each Indemnitor will pay any required indemnification amount claimed by the Indemnitee in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee provides the Indemnitor with written notice of a Claim hereunder in accordance with this Agreement unless the Indemnitor in good faith disputes such Claim.  If the Indemnitor disputes such Claim in good faith, then promptly after the resolution of such dispute, the amount finally determined to be due will be paid by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) days of such dispute resolution.  In the event the Indemnitor fails to pay the Indemnitee the amount of such indemnification Claim within such fifteen (15) day period the Indemnitor will pay the Indemnitee interest on the amount of such indemnification Claim at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum until the indemnification Claim is paid in full.
(g)    If any Indemnitor fails to comply with its obligations to make cash payments to an Indemnitee in an aggregate amount sufficient to reimburse the Indemnitee for all Losses resulting from an indemnified Claim, the Indemnitee may pursue any and all rights and remedies against the Indemnitor available at Law or in equity, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2.
9.7    Exclusive Remedy.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provisions in this Article 9 and the R&W Insurance Policy will be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except, in each case, for (a) matters covered by any other Transaction Document, (b) claims based on Fraud, (c) claims relating to Sections 1.4 and 6.2, and (d) the remedies of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief to the extent expressly permitted elsewhere in this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 6.2).  Nothing in this Article 9 or otherwise will prevent or prohibit a Party from seeking and/or obtaining specific performance in accordance with Section 6.2 or being bound by this Article 9.

11.9    Delays or Omissions.  No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any Party, upon any Breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, will impair any such right, power, or remedy of such Party nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any such Breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar Breach or default thereafter occurring; nor will any waiver of any single Breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other Breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any Breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be made in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, which such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Company.  All schedules (including the Disclosure Schedule) and exhibits or annexes attached hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

(a)    Purchaser (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably waives and agree not to assert, and agrees to cause the Company and Seller Parties to irrevocably waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising from or in connection with (i) DLA’s prior representation of the Company and Seller Parties prior to and after the Closing.  Each of the Purchaser and the Company agrees that after the Closing, DLA may represent the Seller Parties and/or their Affiliates in all matters related to the Transaction Agreements, including in respect of any indemnification claims pursuant to the Transaction Agreements. 
(b)    Purchaser (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates) further agrees, on behalf of themselves and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Company, that all privileged communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among DLA, on the one hand, and the Company or Seller Parties, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any dispute arising under this Agreement, unless adjudicated to be not privileged by a court of law (collectively, the “Privileged Deal Communications”), shall remain privileged after the Closing and that the Privileged Deal Communications and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Seller Parties, shall be controlled (including the ability to waive privilege) by the Agent on behalf of the Seller Parties and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Purchaser or the Company.  To the extent that Purchaser or the Company receives or takes physical possession of any Privileged Deal Communications after the Closing, such physical possession or receipt shall not, in any way, be deemed a waiver by the Seller Parties, or any other Person, of the privileges or protections described in this Section 11.18.
(c)    In the event that a dispute arises between: (i) Purchaser or the Company; and (ii) a third party other than the Seller Parties, Purchaser or the Company may in their sole discretion: (A) assert attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of privileged materials to such third party by DLA and DLA shall not disclose such information; or (B) waive such privilege.
