To the extent that the Company had cash available, the Company has made a good faith effort to distribute to the Company Members an amount in cash equal to the Distributable Amount. The Buyer shall have no obligation to pay all or any portion of the Distributable Amount to the Company Members in the event that there is insufficient cash available to the Company to distribute the full amount of the Distributable Amount at the time(s) the Company makes its distribution(s) to the Company Members pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(i); provided, however, that to the extent sufficient cash was available to the Company for distributions pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(i), but, for any reason, the full amount of cash to be so distributed to any Company Member was not received by such Company Member prior to the Closing, then Buyer shall, promptly after the Closing, pay to the Member Representative, on behalf of such Company Member, any such undistributed amount.

(ii) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Buyer shall deliver to the Member Representative a proposed calculation of the Distributable Amount (the “Closing Distributable Amount”) accompanied by a statement prepared by the Buyer setting forth the supporting detail used to determine the amount of each component of the Closing Distributable Amount (the “Closing Distributable Amount Statement”).

(iii) During the thirty (30) day period following the Member Representative’s receipt of the Closing Distributable Amount Statement, Buyer shall provide to the Member Representative and her advisors such information as the Member Representative may reasonably request regarding Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Distributable Amount. The Closing Distributable Amount Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the twentieth (20^th) day following delivery thereof, unless the Member Representative delivers to Buyer prior to such date written notice of her disagreement with the calculation of the Closing Distributable Amount reflected in the Closing Distributable Amount Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”). Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Buyer in a timely manner, then the Closing Distributable Amount Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (I) or (II) below) shall become final and binding upon Buyer and the Company Members on the earlier of (I) the date Buyer and the Member Representative resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (II) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm (as defined below) pursuant to clause (iv) below.

(iv) During the twenty (20) day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyer and the Member Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such twenty (20) day period, Buyer and the Member Representative shall submit to an independent public accounting firm, with experience in resolving transaction accounting disputes (the “Accounting Firm”) that has been selected by Buyer and the Member Representative, for review and resolution any and all matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall have a period of twenty (20) days to review and resolve any and all matters submitted to it. The Buyer, the Company and the Member Representative agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the Parties incurred in enforcing the determination of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.6(b)(iv) shall be borne by the Buyer or the Member Representative, on behalf of each Company Member, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. Subject to Section 1.6(c), the procedures set forth in this Section 1.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and the Company Members for any disagreements arising out of this Section 1.6.

(v) If the Closing Distributable Amount reflected in the final and binding Closing Distributable Amount Statement is greater than the Estimated Distributable Amount, then the Buyer shall, within five (5) days of the final determination of the Closing Distributable Amount Statement, pay to the Member Representative, on behalf of each Company Member, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by check, the amount of the difference of the Closing Distributable Amount minus the Estimated Distributable Amount. If the Closing Distributable Amount reflected in the final and binding Closing Distributable Amount Statement is less than the aggregate amount of cash distributed to the Company Members in respect of the Estimated Distributable Amount as contemplated in Section 1.6(b)(i), then an amount in cash equal to such shortfall shall be paid to Buyer, at the Buyer’s election, either from the Escrow Fund or directly by the Member Representative, on behalf of each Company Member, in cash, by cashier’s or certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (to an account designated by the Buyer) within five (5) days of the final determination of the Closing Distributable Amount Statement. To the extent that Buyer elects to have the amount of such shortfall paid from the Escrow Fund, the Member Representative agrees not to Dispute such claim and shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent any documentation required to effect such payment.

(c) No Company Member Recourse. No Company Member shall have any claim with respect to or other right of action or recourse against either the Buyer or the Surviving LLC for payment of any amounts owing to such Company Member pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(b)(v) and neither the Buyer nor the Surviving LLC shall have any liability to any Company Member with respect to any such amounts, in each case to the extent that the Buyer has properly distributed such amounts to the Member Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6(b)(v).

(d) Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 1.6 shall affect any Person’s right to seek indemnification with respect to this Section 1.6 as provided by Article V; provided that in no event shall the Damages for which such indemnification is sought by any Person include amounts otherwise recovered or realized by such Person pursuant to this Section 1.6.

For purposes of determining any amounts in this Section 1.7, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at 11:59 p.m. eastern standard time on the date hereof.

(b) Not later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Buyer shall deliver to the Member Representative its calculation of the A/R Schedule. During the fifteen (15) day period following the Member Representative’s receipt of Buyer’s calculation of the A/R Schedule, Buyer shall provide to the Member Representative and her advisors such information as the Member Representative may reasonably request regarding such calculation. The A/R Schedule shall become final and binding upon the parties on the fifteenth (15^th) day following Buyer’s delivery thereof, unless the Member Representative gives written notice of its disagreement with the A/R Schedule (an “A/R Contention Notice ”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any A/R Contention Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If an A/R Contention Notice is received by Buyer in a timely manner, then the A/R Schedule (as revised in accordance with clause (I) or (II) below) shall become final and binding upon Buyer and the Company Members on the earlier of (I) the date Buyer and the Member Representative resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the A/R Contention Notice or (II) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 1.7(c) below.

(c) During the fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of an A/R Contention Notice, Buyer and the Member Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the A/R Contention Notice. At the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer and the Member Representative shall submit to the Accounting Firm (or if one has not been selected pursuant to Section 1.6, to an independent public accounting firm with experience in resolving transaction accounting disputes selected by the Buyer and the Member Representative) for review and resolution any and all matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the A/R Contention Notice. The Accounting Firm shall have a period of fifteen (15) days to review and resolve any and all matters submitted to it. The Buyer, the Company and the Member Representative agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the Parties incurred in enforcing the determination of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.7(c) shall be borne by the Buyer or the Member Representative, on behalf of each Company Member, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The procedures set forth in this Section 1.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and the Company Members for any disagreements arising out of this Section 1.7.

(a) The Company Members have elected ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as the Member Representative to act as the Company Members’, Indemnifying Members’ and IP Indemnifying Members’ representative and agent for all purposes under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Member Representative is authorized to execute on behalf of each Company Member, Indemnifying Member and IP Indemnifying Member any and all documents and agreements referred to herein and to act as representative for the benefit of, and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of, each such Company Member, Indemnifying Member and IP Indemnifying Member in connection with matters contemplated herein and in the Escrow Agreement. By way of example only, and without limitation, the Member Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Company Member, Indemnifying Member and IP Indemnifying Member in her sole discretion to (i) execute on behalf of each Company Member, Indemnifying Member and IP Indemnifying Member, as fully as if the Company Members, Indemnifying Members and IP Indemnifying Members, as applicable, were acting on their own behalf, any and all documents and agreements referred to herein, including executing this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement as the Member Representative and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as to which Member Representative in her sole discretion shall deem advisable, (ii) take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Company Members, the Indemnifying Members and the IP Indemnifying Members under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and matters contemplated herein and therein, including pursuing, defending, settling, or appealing any claim, proceeding, action or investigation, (iii) give and receive notices or instructions permitted or required under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement on behalf of the Company Members, Indemnifying Members and IP Indemnifying Members, as applicable, (iv) authorize the release of the amounts held in the Escrow Fund to pay any Claimed Amount, (v) undertake any actions with respect to the resolution of a Dispute or any disagreement or otherwise with respect to Sections 1.6 or 1.7 or Article V, including partaking in any dispute resolution process and determination related to the Closing Distributable Amount or A/R Schedule, and (vi) refrain from taking any action that the Member Representative is otherwise authorized hereunder to take.

(b) The Member Representative may resign at any time upon giving five (5) days written notice to Buyer and the Company Members. Each Company Member agrees that, should the Member Representative resign or be unable to serve, the Company Members having received a majority of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall appoint a single substitute agent to take on the responsibilities of such Member Representative under the provisions specified herein, whose appointment shall be effective on the date of the appointment of the new Member Representative.

(c) Except for gross negligence, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, the Member Representative shall not be liable to any person (including any Company Member, Indemnifying Member or IP Indemnifying Member) or entity for any act, omission, loss, consequential damages, lost profits, damage, cost or expense arising from the performance of her duties hereunder. The Member Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Member Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Member Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Member Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Member Representative is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any party to this Agreement or the agreements contemplated herein. The Company Members shall indemnify, defend and hold the Member Representative harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, tax, liability, cost and expense incurred (absent final adjudication that any such loss, damage, tax, liability, cost or expense resulted from the gross negligence, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct of the Member Representative) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of her duties hereunder including the legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with fulfilling her duties hereunder or defending herself against any claim or liability in connection with her performance hereunder (collectively, “Member Representative Damages”), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. In the event of any indemnification or reimbursement under this Section 1.10(c), upon written notice from Member Representative to the Company Members as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification or reimbursement amount after exhausting the Aggregate Expense Fund Amount, each Company Member shall promptly deliver to the Member Representative full payment of his or her Pro Rata Share of such deficiency. In no event shall the Buyer, the Company or the Surviving LLC have any liability to any Company Member for any act or omission of the Member Representative, including as a result of the negligence, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct of the Member Representative.

(d) The Member Representative will serve without compensation, but, per above, shall be entitled to the payment of all her expenses incurred as the Member Representative. At the Closing, the Member Representative shall receive from Buyer and retain, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Aggregate Expense Fund Amount (equal to $534,000) to be used by the Member Representative to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred by Member Representative in her capacity as the Member Representative, and, in the Member Representative’s sole discretion, to pay certain amounts due by the Company Members pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.6 and 1.7). Once the Member Representative determines, in her sole discretion, that the Member Representative will not incur any additional fees, costs or expenses in her capacity as the Member Representative, or pay any further amounts due by the Company Members pursuant to this Agreement, then the Member Representative will distribute to each Company Member its Pro Rata Share of the remaining unused portion of the Aggregate Expense Fund Amount, if any. The Member Representative shall also distribute to the Company Members any amounts received by the Member Representative on behalf of the Company Members pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including pursuant to Sections 1.6 or 1.7). Following the termination of the Escrow Agreement and the resolution and payout of all pending claims made by Indemnified Parties for Damages, the Member Representative shall have the right to recover any Member Representative Damages which have not yet been reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.10(c) above from the remaining portion, if any, of the Escrow Fund, prior to any distribution of the Escrow Fund to the Company Members. Prior to any such distribution, the Member Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Member Representative Damages actually incurred. In the event that the Escrow Fund is insufficient to reimburse the Member Representative Damages, the obligation of the Company Members pursuant to Section 1.10(c) to promptly reimburse the Member Representative for all Member Representative Damages shall remain in effect until satisfied. No Company Member shall have any claim or right of action against either the Buyer or the Surviving LLC as a result of the Member Representative’s failure to make any payment of any amounts owing to such Company Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the extent that Buyer has properly distributed such amounts to the Member Representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any notice, direction or communication received by the Buyer, Merger Sub or the Surviving LLC from the Member Representative, or delivered to the Member Representative by Buyer, Merger Sub or the Surviving LLC, shall be binding upon the Company Members, the Indemnifying Members and the IP Indemnifying Members, as applicable, and each of them, as if such notice, direction or communication has been received directly by, or delivered directly to, such Person. The Member Representative shall act in all matters on behalf of the Company Members, Indemnifying Members and IP Indemnifying Members. Buyer and Merger Sub, and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving LLC, shall be entitled to rely on the actions of the Member Representative hereunder as the actions of the Company Members, Indemnifying Members and IP Indemnifying Members. Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving LLC may deliver notices and communications to the Company Members hereunder through the Member Representative at the address set forth in this Agreement for notices, and such delivery shall be deemed to have been made to any or all of the Company Members. None of Buyer, Merger Sub nor the Surviving LLC shall pay any costs or expenses incurred by the Member Representative in carrying out her obligations hereunder. All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Member Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Effective Date and any termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(f) Each of Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving LLC consents to the appointment of the Member Representative to act as described hereunder. The grant of authority provided for in this Section 1.10: (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Member; and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the Merger.

1.11 No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, no Company LLC Interests shall be deemed to be outstanding or exist in any respect, and the Company Members shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as provided herein or by law.

1.12 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, no further transfers of Company LLC Interests shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, any Person presents a valid Company LLC Interest to the Buyer or the Surviving LLC, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(a).

1.13 Withholding Obligations. Each of the Buyer, the Surviving LLC and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Member or Indemnifying Member such amounts as it reasonably determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer, the Surviving LLC or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Member or Indemnifying Member in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Buyer, the Surviving LLC or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be. The Buyer, the Surviving LLC and the Escrow Agent shall also have the right to collect Forms W-8 or W-9, or such other forms relating to United States federal withholding obligations as may be applicable, from each Company Member or Indemnifying Member.

(e) the termination and winding up of the Profit Sharing Plan.

5.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) Any Person which believes it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article V (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notification to the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (or, in the case of the Buyer seeking indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article V, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Member Representative) (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”) of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within ten (10) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Responsible Party shall relieve the Responsible Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within ten (10) days after delivery of such notification, the Responsible Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) the Responsible Party may only assume control of such defense if the amount of Damages for which the Responsible Party may be found to be liable under this Article V is equal to at least 50% of the ad damnum and (ii) the Responsible Party may not assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party except to the extent that such equitable relief is a request in a complaint whose primary recourse is for monetary damages and is reasonably expected to have a lesser impact on the Indemnified Party as compared to the amount of monetary damages sought in connection with such Third Party Action. The Responsible Party shall only be permitted to maintain control of the defense of such Third Party Action to the extent that within five (5) business days after the conclusion of the period of discovery with respect to such Third Party Action, the Responsible Party informs the Indemnified Party in writing that any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Action will constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article V. If the Responsible Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof, to assume or to maintain control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. If the Responsible Party either relinquishes or is not permitted to maintain control over the defense of such a Third Party Action, then the Responsible Party shall immediately turn over all files, notes, memoranda, documents and other information pertaining to and gathered in connection with such Third Party Action to the Indemnified Party. The Non-Controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and the Controlling Party and the Non-Controlling Party shall otherwise cooperate with and assist each other in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.3(a) or (ii) the Responsible Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party have materially conflicting interests or materially different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Responsible Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) For purposes of calculating Damages pursuant to this Article V, but only for such purpose and not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty, all representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4(a)) shall be construed as if the term “material” and any reference to “Company Material Adverse Effect” (and variations thereof) were omitted from such representations and warranties.

(c) Except (i) as set forth in Sections 1.6, 1.7, 5.6 and 7.4, (ii) with respect to the remedies available to Buyer pursuant to the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements between the Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company and each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and the employment offer letters and any related employment documents entered into by either ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and (iii) for claims based on fraud after the Closing, the rights of the Buyer under this Article V and the Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer with respect to claims resulting from or relating to this Agreement, the transaction contemplated herein and any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent a party from seeking or obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or violations of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement.

The foregoing shall not give rise to any interpretation by negative implication that the Parties intend that Buyer may (x) encourage any Third Party Action which is not a Third Party Action purporting to bring an IP Claim or (y) bring any claim hereunder, which is not an IP Claim, with respect to which Buyer had actual knowledge, prior to the Closing, of the underlying inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty related to such claim.

The Buyer shall specify in any Claim Notice pertaining to an IP Claim that it delivers to the Member Representative whether it is requesting that the Damages specified in the Claim Notice be satisfied from the Escrow Fund, by the IP Indemnifying Members pursuant to this Section 5.6 or both. In the event that the Buyer delivers a Claim Notice pertaining to an IP Claim and elects to have the Damages specified in the Claim Notice satisfied by the IP Indemnifying Members pursuant to this Section 5.6 or both by the IP Indemnifying Members pursuant to this Section 5.6 and from the Escrow Fund, then the provisions of Section 5.1(a), 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5(other than 5.5(a)(i) and (iv), provided that, the Deductible shall apply to Damages payable as a result of an IP Claim only to the extent that the Deductible has not then been met as a result of other claims for Damages pursuant to Section 5.1(a) (including pursuant to other IP Claims)) shall be deemed to refer to the IP Indemnifying Members in lieu of or as well as (as applicable) the Indemnifying Members and/or the Responsible Party and Section 5.7 shall apply to such IP Claim.
