Section 2.03 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, Seller caused to be prepared and delivered to Buyer, for Buyer’s review and consent, a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) (which may be revised one (1) Business Day before the Closing) setting forth its good faith estimate of (i) Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (ii) Closing Cash, (iii) Existing Debt and (iv) Closing Transaction Expenses, which amounts are being used to determine the calculation of the Purchase Price, Net Payment Amount and payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.02 at the Closing.

Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of the Inventory Count and allow a Representative of Seller to be physically present during such count. Not later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, a roll-back (the “Roll-Back”), based on the books and records of the Company taking into account Inventory purchases and sales and other book entries affecting Inventory occurring between the date of the Closing Date and the Inventory Count (the Inventory Count as adjusted pursuant to the Roll-Back, the “Roll-Back Inventory”), will be performed by the Buyer or the Company.

A statement setting forth the Roll-Back Inventory based upon such Roll-Back, will be delivered by Buyer to Seller not later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date.

(c) Not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a draft statement (the “Draft Closing Statement”), setting forth Buyer’s determination of (i) Closing Working Capital, (ii) Closing Cash, (iii) Existing Debt and (iv) Closing Transaction Expenses. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, provide to Seller whatever information or documentation in its or the Company’s possession, custody or control and such access to their personnel, in each case that is reasonably necessary for Seller to review the Draft Closing Statement or to participate in the dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 2.03.

(d) If Seller disagrees with the computation of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Existing Debt and/or Closing Transaction Expenses reflected on the Draft Closing Statement, then Seller may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Closing Statement, deliver a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Buyer setting forth Seller’s calculation of such items. The Objection Notice shall specifically state Seller’s disagreement with the information set forth on the Draft Closing Statement and the basis therefor. If an Objection Notice is not delivered within such time period, then the amount of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Existing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses set forth on the Draft Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. If an Objection Notice is delivered and it does not object to one or more of the amount of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Existing Debt or Closing Transaction Expenses, as set forth on the Draft Closing Statement, then the item(s) for which no objection was made shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Seller shall provide to Buyer whatever information or documentation in its possession, custody or control and such access to its personnel, in each case that is reasonably necessary for Buyer to review the Objection Notice or to participate in the dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 2.03.

(e) If an Objection Notice is delivered within such time period, Buyer and Seller shall, during the twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt by Buyer of such notice, use their reasonable good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within such twenty (20)-Business Day period, then Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain the dispute resolution group of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, with which each party hereto acknowledges that it has no current engagement (unless another accounting firm is mutually agreed to in writing between Buyer and Seller prior to such time) (the “Independent Accountant”), to resolve any remaining disagreements. In connection with the retention by Buyer and Seller of the Independent Accountant, Buyer and Seller shall each execute an engagement letter with the Independent Accountant in a form reasonably satisfactory to each of Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that if Buyer and Seller cannot agree upon a form of engagement letter within five (5) days of their receipt of the engagement letter first provided to them by the Independent Accountant, Buyer and Seller shall each sign the Independent Accountant’s standard engagement letter (with only those modifications agreed upon by Buyer and Seller); provided, further, that if (x) Buyer fails to sign such standard engagement letter within five (5) days of the expiration of the prior five (5)-day period, then the amounts set forth in the Objection Notice with respect to any items remaining in dispute shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto or (y) Seller fails to sign such standard engagement letter within five (5) days of the expiration of the prior five (5)-day period, then the amounts set forth in the Draft Closing Statement with respect to any items remaining in dispute shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Buyer and Seller shall direct the Independent Accountant to render a determination within thirty (30) Business Days of its retention, and the parties hereto and their respective employees shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant during its engagement. Buyer and Seller shall direct the Independent Accountant to consider only those items in dispute. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall (i) be based on the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Existing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses, as the case may be, and related terms and (ii) be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Independent Accountant’s determination of the matters raised in the applicable Objection Notice cannot be more favorable to Buyer than the related amount reflected on the Draft Closing Statement nor more favorable to Sellers than the related amount reflected in the applicable Objection Notice. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated between Buyer (or, at Buyer’s election, the Company), on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the matters raised in the applicable Objection Notice not awarded to such party hereto bears to the amount actually contested by such party hereto. For example, if Seller claims that the appropriate adjustments are, in the aggregate, $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves such matters by awarding to Seller, in the aggregate, $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 30% (i.e., $300 ÷ $1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., $700 ÷ $1,000) to Seller.

Section 2.04 Adjustments to Purchase Price. Upon the final determination of each of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Existing Debt and Closing Transaction Expenses pursuant to Section 2.03 (the “Final Closing Statement”), the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below:

(a) If the Closing Working Capital reflected in the Final Closing Statement exceeds the Closing Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by such excess, or if the Closing Working Capital reflected in the Final Closing Statement is less than the Closing Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of such shortfall;

(b) If Closing Cash reflected in the Final Closing Statement exceeds Closing Cash set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by such excess, or if Closing Cash reflected in the Final Closing Statement is less than Closing Cash set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of such shortfall;

(c) If Existing Debt reflected in the Final Closing Statement exceeds Existing Debt set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by such excess, or if Existing Debt reflected in the Final Closing Statement is less than Existing Debt set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the absolute value of such shortfall; and

(d) If the Closing Transaction Expenses reflected in the Final Closing Statement exceed the Closing Transaction Expenses set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by such excess, or if the Closing Transaction Expenses reflected in the Final Closing Statement are less than the Closing Transaction Expenses set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the absolute value of such shortfall.

Section 2.05 Payment of Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) If the aggregate net adjustments to the Purchase Price described in Section 2.04 result in a net increase in the Purchase Price or no adjustment to the Purchase Price, then within five (5) days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement, (i) the Company shall deliver to Seller an amount equal to such net increase in Purchase Price and (ii) the Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver a joint letter of direction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to release to Seller within five (5) days thereafter from the Escrow Fund $250,000.

(b) If the aggregate net adjustments to the Purchase Price described in Section 2.04 result in a net decrease in the Purchase Price, then within five (5) days after the determination of the Final Closing Statement, (i) the Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver a joint letter of direction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to release to the Company (or its designee, which may be the Company) within five (5) days thereafter from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to such net decrease in Purchase Price up to an amount not exceeding $250,000, and (ii)(x) if such net decrease in the Purchase Price is in excess of $250,000, then Seller shall pay to the Company the amount of such excess within such five (5)-day period or (y) if such net decrease in the Purchase Price is less than $250,000, such joint letter of direction shall also instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Seller within five (5) days thereafter from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to (A) $250,000, minus (B) the amount of such net decrease in Purchase Price.

(c) Any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, in writing.

Section 2.06 Withholding Rights. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company, such withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted promptly by the Company to the applicable Governmental Authority and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not withhold any Tax if the Seller provides to the Buyer a properly executed IRS Form W-9.

Seller and Buyer shall timely file their own Transfer Tax Returns as required by applicable Law and shall notify the other parties hereto when such filing have been made. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and consult with each other prior to filing such Transfer Tax Returns to ensure that all such returns are filed in a consistent manner.

Section 6.02 Tax Returns. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, any Tax Return to be prepared pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02 with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with practices followed by the Company in prior years with respect to similar Tax Returns and without a change of any election or any accounting method, except for changes required by applicable Tax Laws or changes in fact. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or permitted by this Agreement, neither Buyer nor Seller shall file an amended Tax Return, or permit the Company or any of their Affiliates to file an amended Tax Return, with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Parties for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at Seller’s expense, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of each such Tax Return (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer, supporting documentation) at least forty (40) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Buyer objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within twenty (20)days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Seller in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Seller of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant in a manner consistent with Section 6.02(c).

(b) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at Buyer’s expense, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Straddle Period. Buyer shall deliver to Seller a copy of each such Tax Return (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent reasonably requested by Seller, supporting documentation) at least forty (40) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return; provided, however, if such Tax Return is required to be filed within ninety (90) days after Closing, Buyer shall provide a copy of such Tax Return to Seller as soon as reasonably practicable. If Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within twenty (20) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant in a manner consistent with Section 6.02(c).

(c) In the event Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on any issue timely-raised by the other party pursuant to Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b), Buyer and Seller shall engage the Independent Accountant to resolve the matter, and the Independent Accountant’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. Buyer and Seller shall direct the Independent Accountant to resolve the dispute in a manner consistent with (and in conformity to) the terms of this Agreement within twenty (20) days after the item has been referred to it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.02(c), the party responsible pursuant to Section 6.02(a) or Section 6.02(b) for preparing the disputed Tax Return shall be entitled to file on behalf of the Company, or cause to be filed, the applicable Tax Return without having incorporated the disagreed upon changes to avoid a late filing of such Tax Return.

The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by each party in the percentage inversely proportionate to the percentage of the total items submitted for dispute that are resolved in such party’s favor, and the provisions in Section 2.03(c) regarding the execution of the Independent Accountant’s engagement letter shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any engagement of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 6.02(c).

With respect to such proceeding that pertains to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall have the right to control any such Tax audit, examination, assessment or proceeding, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense; provided, however, that Buyer and its representatives shall be permitted, at Buyer’s expense, to be present at, and participate in, any such audit, examination, assessment or proceeding.

Section 6.05 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date, none of the Company, Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

(c) Within ten (10) days of Seller’s receipt of the Unified Loss Election provided by Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with any objections to the Unified Loss Election and the reduction set forth therein.

Section 6.09 Tax Treatment of Sale. To the extent permitted by Law, (i) the redemption by the Company from the Seller of the Redeemed Shares, to the extent of the proceeds of the Credit Facilities, shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a distribution in part or full payment in exchange for the stock under Code Section 302(a) and that the Seller, Buyer, and (ii) the Company will prepare and file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such treatment.

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) any Existing Debt that was not included on the Final Closing Statement;

(e) any Seller Taxes;

(f) any Liability of the Company related to retrospective premium adjustments or other experience-based Liability related to the Insurance Policies;

(g) subject to Section 7.09, any breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.27(c) if the untrue statement of material fact or omission of material fact underlying such breach was one of the bases upon which the carrier of the Trident Insurance Policies denied coverage thereunder as determined in accordance with Section 7.09; and

(h) any severance payments owed to any of the Company’s employees pursuant to any Benefit Plan or other written agreement in effect as of the Closing between such employee, on the one hand, and Seller, the Company and/or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand.

Section 7.03 Indemnification By Buyer and the Company. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer and the Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend each of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any of Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

Section 7.04 Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, exceeds One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Basket”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar without regard to the Basket. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Basket).

(b) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed Two Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,300,000), provided, however, with respect to breaches of Section 3.27(c), the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller will be liable shall not exceed the Purchase Price and Seller shall not be liable for any such individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000)

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.04 shall not apply to (i) Losses incurred in connection with or arising from any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation; (ii) Losses incurred in connection with or arising from any Policy Default; or (iii) in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(d) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (or the Company) in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include bringing a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding against any insurer) to recover under applicable insurance policies for any Losses prior to being entitled to indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall still be entitled to assert a claim for indemnification prior to attempting to so recover under applicable insurance policies, and such claim shall not, therefore, be barred by any subsequent expiration of the applicable survival period. In the event the Indemnified Party recovers proceeds or benefits under any insurance policy relating to a Loss after it receives payment or other credit from the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement with respect to such Loss, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or credit provided by such Indemnifying Party in connection with such Loss up to (i) the amount of such payment or credit or (ii) the amount of such insurance proceeds or benefits, whichever is less, in either case, net of any expenses or costs incurred by the Indemnified Party by reason of making such claim or collecting such amount.

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that such Indemnified Party reasonably expects to, or does, give rise thereto.

(f) For purposes of determining the amount of Losses for which a Person is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII, and for determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant has been breached, the parties hereto agree to disregard all qualifications and exceptions contained in any representations, warranties or covenants relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import.

Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such reasonably 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 Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of being notified of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be able to conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim if (i) it has provided the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has adequate financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its obligations under this Article VII, and (ii) the Third-Party Claim does not (A) relate to any criminal Action (B) involve damages that, when added to all other damages and other Losses for which such Indemnified Party and the other Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees (as applicable) have previously sought indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are either less than the Basket or materially in excess of the amounts for which such Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as applicable) would be liable hereunder (based on reasonable estimates thereof), or (C) would create a conflict of interest on the part of the Indemnifying Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.05(a), the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party timely advised of all material events with respect to any Third-Party Claim. The election by the Indemnifying Party of the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to relief under this Agreement for any Loss arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with such Third-Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.04. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (x) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (y) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party should be responsible for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.05) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into a settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party, the settlement does not involve the admission of fault or violation of Law by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the settlement provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim, the settlement is not reasonably likely to be detrimental to the reputation or business prospects of the Company or the Indemnified Party, the settlement does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Company or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, then the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Policy Default Claim Procedures. In the event of any Action involving a Seller Indemnified Party with respect to any actual or potential Liability arising out of or in connection with Section 5.13, Section 7.05 shall not apply and, therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall have the sole right to control the defense of such Action and the Seller shall have the right to settle any such Action in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Seller shall not enter into a settlement of any such Action without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.06 Payments. Any amounts owed by Seller for indemnification to any Buyer Indemnitee under Section 7.02, may be satisfied, at Buyer’s election, either: (a) as a claim against Seller or (b) as a payment by the Escrow Agent from the amount held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 7.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 7.09 Trident Product Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII or in any other Article of this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ exclusive rights, claims and remedies at law and/or equity vis-a-vis Seller and exclusive source of recovery for any Trident Product Liability (other than with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.27(c), fraud or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, binding, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction)) shall be the Trident Insurance Policies and in no event shall Seller indemnify, or be required to indemnify, any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Trident Product Liability. In the event of any Action involving a Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any actual or potential Trident Product Liability, Section 7.05 shall not apply and, therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have the sole right to control the defense of such Action and the Company shall have the right to settle any such Action in its sole discretion. Buyer agrees that, in connection with any Action involving a Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any actual or potential Trident Product Liability, it will use its good faith best efforts to seek a recovery under the Trident Insurance Policies (or any replacement policies thereof) relating thereto and further agrees that Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor in the prosecution of such insurance coverage for Trident Product Liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the written request of Seller, Buyer shall provide copies of any and all correspondence sent or received by Buyer and/or the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof, any and all pleadings in connection with such Action, and advise Seller in writing of any and all electronic, written and/or verbal communications not otherwise referred to above which are material to any such Action. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, to the extent that Seller may otherwise have Liability, Seller shall have no Liability to any Buyer Indemnified Party for any Trident Product Liability and/or breach of Section 3.27(c) if Buyer fails to use its good faith best efforts to seek any insurance benefit relating thereto. If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party becomes aware of any Action involving any actual or potential Trident Product Liability, then Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other of such Action. Buyer hereby further agrees that it shall not (i) bring any Action against Seller with respect to any Trident Product Liability and/or a breach of Section 3.27(c), or (ii) assist any third party in bringing any Action against Seller with respect to any Trident Product Liability or breach of Section 3.27(c), unless and until in each case a court of competent jurisdiction has determined by final, binding, non-appealable judgment to affirm, uphold or otherwise not reverse the carrier’s denial of coverage under the Trident Insurance Policies.

Section 7.10 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 8.11, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud or willful misconduct) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 8.11 or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent or intentional misconduct.

Article VIII
Miscellaneous

Section 8.01 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including Section 5.08 hereof), all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The term “made available to Buyer” or similar phrases means, with respect to the subject document, that such document was posted in the Data Room at least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date and such document has remained accessible to Buyer and its Representatives from such date through the Closing Date.

Section 8.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 8.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 8.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 8.08 No Third-party Beneficiaries.

Section 8.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 8.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10(C).

A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate or Representative of any party hereto or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any Liability under this Agreement or for any Action based on, in respect of or by reason of the Transactions, other than to the extent based on, in respect of or by reason of such Person’s fraud or willful misconduct.
