Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of the failure of the Companies to meet any of their internal projections or forecasts provided to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have freedom to modify salaries, bonuses, incentives or benefits as it deems appropriate. Nothing contained herein shall impute any obligation upon Purchaser to employ any individual for any amount of time, and all employees as of and after the Closing Date shall be deemed “at-will” employees.

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall assume or cause the Companies to assume all obligations for providing continuation coverage under any group health plan for all current and former employees of the Companies and their qualified beneficiaries, regardless of whether such individuals had a qualifying event before, on or after the Closing Date.

Subject to the foregoing, the Seller and its representatives shall treat as confidential all information, records and documents that they receive relating to such Covid-19 Claim and use only in connection with such Covid-19 Claim. The Companies and its personnel shall not be required to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of their Business or unreasonably disrupt their normal operations.

6.7 R&W Insurance Policy; Subrogation. Purchaser has obtained and bound for coverage the R&W Policy, the cost of which (including premiums, brokerage fees, underwriting fees, taxes and amounts) will be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the R&W Policy provides, among other things, that the insurer waives and shall not pursue any subrogation rights against Seller or the Companies except for Actual Fraud by Seller or the Companies (the “Subrogation Waiver”), and that such Persons are express third party beneficiaries of such Subrogation Waiver. Purchaser shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) amend, modify, waive or otherwise alter (or agree or consent to any amendment, modification, waiver or alteration of or variation from) the R&W Policy with respect to the Subrogation Waiver or take any other action that would cause the R&W Policy or the rights of any Person thereunder to be modified or waived in a manner that would have an adverse impact on Seller.

(b) Subject to the obligations set forth Section 6.9(a), Purchaser may postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement if Purchaser’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving Purchaser; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that Purchaser has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render Purchaser unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

(b) If Seller is in material breach of any of its representations and warranties made in Section 4.4 (Ownership and Transfer of Shares), or if Purchaser is in material breach of any of it representations and warranties in ARTICLE 5, the breaching party shall indemnify the non-breaching party for all losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses incurred by the non-breaching party as a result of such breach of representation and warranty, including all legal fees and others costs reasonably incurred in the investigation, defense and enforcement of the non-breaching party’s rights under this Agreement (in each case, subject to the limitations in this Agreement).

(c) Each of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive until such covenant or agreement is fully performed or fulfilled, unless and only to the extent that non-compliance with such covenant or agreement is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance.

(d) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, PURCHASER AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER WILL NOT HAVE ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND/OR LIABILITY HEREUNDER, OR WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, IN EXCESS OF THE REALIZED UNDISTRIBUTED SELLER WARRANT PROCEEDS; PROVIDED THAT SELLER (OR ITS ASSIGNS) WILL NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY SELLER WARRANTS OR SELLER WARRANTS PROCEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE CLOSING.

(e) FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (I) ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANIES AND/OR SELLER (OTHER THAN SECTION 4.4) ARE SOLELY FOR PURPOSES OF OBTAINING R&W INSURANCE COVERAGE, (II) PURCHASER MAY NOT SEEK TO RECOVER ANY LOSSES FROM SELLER WITH RESPECT TO ANY INACCURACIES OF THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANIES AND/OR SELLER OTHER THAN FOR CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 4.4 OR ACTIONS AGAINST SELLER FOR ACTUAL FRAUD WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE HEREOF, AND (III) OTHER THAN CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 4.4 OR ACTIONS AGAINST SELLER FOR ACTUAL FRAUD WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE HEREOF, AND/OR CLAIMS AGAINST ANY OF THE PERSONS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE 8.14 FOR ACTUAL FRAUD WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE HEREOF (SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 8.14), PURCHASER SHALL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO SEEK TO RECOVER LOSSES WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPANIES, THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES AND BUSINESSES AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY FROM THE R&W POLICY.

(f) PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ANY ASSETS, PROPERTIES AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES ARE FURNISHED “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS.

(g) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, THE COMPANIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO THE EXTENT EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE R&W POLICY.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own inquiry and independent investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Companies and its businesses and operations, and that it has been provided with access to such information about the Companies and its businesses and operations as it has requested.

(i) In connection with the investigation by Purchaser of the Companies, Purchaser has received or may receive from the Companies certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts), and that none of the Companies, Seller or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, advisors employees or other Representatives, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from (nor shall Purchaser have any claim with respect to) the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forward-looking statements and forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections, forward-looking statements and forecasts), regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

7.2 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, other than with respect to Actual Fraud, Section 7.1(b) and specific performance set forth in Section 8.11, no Person will have any entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 7.2 and the remedies provided in Section 7.1(b), Section 8.11 and Section 8.13, were specifically bargained for among the parties and were taken into account by the parties in arriving at the Purchase Price and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Seller has specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 7.2 and the remedies provided in Section 7.1(b), Section 8.11 and Section 8.13 in agreeing to the Purchase Price and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8
GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the other documents referred to herein which form a part hereof, and the Confidentiality Agreement, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (whether written or oral) between the parties with respect to such subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement). This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement executed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought.

8.2 No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term or provision of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or provision or any other term or provision of this Agreement.

8.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Any such term or provision held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, such term or provision is hereby deemed modified to give effect to the original written intent of the parties to the greatest extent consistent with being valid and enforceable under applicable Law.

8.4 Expenses and Obligations. Subject to Section 2.5, all costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with the Transactions shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred such expenses; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, the transaction expenses specifically identified on the transaction expenses schedule pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and (b) Purchaser shall pay any filing fees which relate to any required governmental filing or notification.

8.9 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable Law.

8.10 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors by operation of law and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement may be made by any party at any time, whether or not by operation of law, without the other parties’ prior written consent; provided, however, that (i) Seller may assign this Agreement and/or any of its rights to one or more private equity funds that directly or indirectly control Seller, and (ii) Purchaser may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Purchaser, or Purchaser may assign its rights, but not its duties, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources; provided, further, however, that, in each case, such assignment by Seller or Purchaser shall not release assignor from its obligations under this Agreement and the non-assigning party shall have no obligation to pursue remedies against any assignee before proceeding against assignor for any breach of its obligations hereunder.

8.11 Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (i) prior to the Closing, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) following the Closing, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction or injunctions, or other provisional relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives (A) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (B) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

8.12 Third-Party Beneficiaries.

From and after the Closing, all of the Persons identified as third-party beneficiaries in the immediately preceding sentence shall be entitled to enforce such provisions and to avail themselves of the benefits of any remedy for any breach of such provisions, all to the same extent as if such Persons were parties to this Agreement.

8.13 Releases.

8.14 No Personal Liability of Individuals or Non-Contracting Parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future Representative or Affiliate of any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future Representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise, and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.
