(b) The Sellers, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, the Companies and their respective Affiliates (other than the Sellers) and Representatives (other than the Sellers) from, and pay and reimburse the Buyer, the Companies and their respective Affiliates (other than the Sellers) and Representatives (other than the Sellers) for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising from: (i) any breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation of any third party that, if true, would be a

breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers or the Target in this Agreement (other than in Article III); (ii) any breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation of any third party that, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than Section 7.1(a)); (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Target in this Agreement; (iv) any claim by any Seller or any Person claiming through or on behalf of such Seller arising out of or relating to any act or omission by the Buyer or any other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by the Sellers’ Representative; or (v) any matter set forth on Schedule 10.1.

10.2 Indemnification by the Buyer. After the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X, the Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers from, and pay and reimburse the Sellers for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising from: (a) any breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation of any third party that, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement or pursuant to the certificate delivered by the Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2; or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer in this Agreement.

10.3 Survival and Time Limitations. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Buyer and the Sellers in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Target in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will not survive the Closing. If the Closing occurs, the Sellers will have no Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless the Buyer notifies the Sellers’ Representative of such a claim on or before the date two years after the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) any claim relating to Section 4.19 (environmental) or 4.21 (employee benefits) may be made at any time until the date five years after the Closing Date, (b) any claim relating to Section 4.15 (taxes) may be made at any time until the date 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute or period of limitations (including any extension of such statute or period of limitations) and (c) any claim relating to Article III (the Sellers) or Section 4.1 (organization), 4.2 (capitalization), 4.3 (authority), 4.4 (conflicts) or 4.8 (title to assets), fraud, or any covenant or agreement to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time without any time limitation. If the Closing occurs, the Buyer will have no Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless the Sellers’ Representative notifies the Buyer of such a claim on or before the date three years after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any claim relating to fraud or any covenant or agreement to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time without any time limitation. If the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, provides proper notice of a claim within the applicable time period set forth above, liability for such claim will continue until such claim is resolved.

10.4 Limitations on Indemnification by the Sellers. The Sellers will have no Liability with respect to the matters described in Section 10.1(b)(i) until the total of all Losses with respect to such matters exceeds $15,000 (the “Basket”), at which point the Sellers will be obligated to indemnify for all Losses, to the extent the Losses exceed the amount of the Basket; provided, however, that any claim relating to Section 4.1 (organization), 4.2 (capitalization), 4.3 (authority), 4.4 (conflicts), 4.8 (title to assets), 4.10 (accounts receivable), 4.11 (inventory), 4.15 (taxes), 4.19 (environmental), 4.21 (employee benefits) or 4.26 (brokers) will not be subject to or counted towards the Basket. This Section 10.4 will not apply to any fraudulent or intentional breach of any representation or warranty.

10.5 Claims Against the Companies. Following the Closing, the Sellers may not assert, directly or indirectly, and hereby waive, any claim, whether for indemnification, contribution, subrogation or otherwise, against any Company with respect to any act, omission, condition or event occurring or existing prior to or on the Closing Date or any obligation of the Sellers under Section 10.1. Each Seller agrees not to make, directly or indirectly, and hereby waives, any claim for indemnification against any Company by reason of the fact that such Seller was a stockholder, director, officer, employee or agent of any Company or was serving at the request of any Company as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, Losses, expenses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any Law, Organizational Document, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any Proceeding brought by the Buyer or any Company against such Seller or any Affiliate thereof (whether such Proceeding is pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise).

10.6 Manner of Payment. The Buyer may set off any amount to which it or any Company may be entitled under this Article X against any amount otherwise payable by any Company, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates to any Seller. The exercise of such set-off right in good faith will not constitute a breach or event of default under any Contract relating to any amount against which the set-off is applied. If the Buyer does not exercise this right of set-off, the Buyer will seek payment of such amount from the Escrow Funds until such funds are exhausted and then may seek payment directly from the Sellers.

10.7 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a third party commences a lawsuit or arbitration (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Person (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party might make a claim for indemnification against any Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article X, then the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party (or the Sellers’ Representative, in the case of the Sellers) thereof in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section (a), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-

Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the limitations of Section 10.4, indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not a party to the Proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate matter associated with joint representation, (iv) the Third-Party Claim does not involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any Governmental Body, (v) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (vi) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently and (viii) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permits the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.7(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim (other than attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense pursuant to Section 10.7(b)) and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld unreasonably. If the Indemnified Party desires to consent to the entry of judgment with respect to or to settle a Third-Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party refuses, then the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for all Losses with respect to such Third-Party Claim, without giving effect to the Basket.

(d) If any condition in Section 10.7(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article X.

10.8 Other Indemnification Matters. Any claim for indemnification under this Article X must be asserted by providing written notice to the Sellers’ Representative (or the Buyer, in the case of a claim by any Seller) specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the Person asserting the claim. All indemnification payments under this Article X will be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE X WILL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON ALLEGES OR PROVES THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR ITS AFFILIATES. THE WAIVER OF ANY CONDITION BASED ON THE ACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, OR ON THE PERFORMANCE OF OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY COVENANT OR AGREEMENT, WILL NOT AFFECT THE RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION, PAYMENT OF DAMAGES, OR OTHER REMEDY BASED ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT. If any Seller liquidates or dissolves at any time when any Liability of such Seller with respect to this Article X may thereafter arise or be determined, then at the time of such liquidation or dissolution, such Seller will cause its shareholders, members, partners or other equity holders or distributees of such Seller’s assets, as the case may be, to take such assets subject to such Liabilities ratably in proportion to the assets received; provided, however, that the failure on behalf of any Seller to comply with the covenant set forth in this sentence will in no way reduce such Seller’s obligations in this Agreement.

10.9 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, this Article X will provide the exclusive legal remedy for the matters covered by this Article X, except for claims based upon fraud. This Article X will not affect any remedy any Party may have under this Agreement prior to the Closing or upon termination of this Agreement or any equitable remedy available to any Party.

ARTICLE XI

TAX MATTERS

The following provisions will govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Buyer and the Sellers for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

11.1 Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. The Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Companies for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date. The Buyer will permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. The Seller will reimburse the Buyer for Taxes of the Companies with respect to such periods within 15 days after payment by the Buyer or the Companies of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet as a reserve for Liability for Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to

reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) and taken into account in the Working Capital calculation.

11.2 Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. The Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any Tax Returns for the Companies for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. The Buyer will permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. The Sellers will pay to the Buyer within 15 days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Closing Balance Sheet as a reserve for Liability for Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) and taken into account in the Working Capital calculation. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date will (a) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to equal the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (b) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to equal the amount that would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date will be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations will be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Companies.

11.3 Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Buyer and the Sellers will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing and preparation of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article and any Proceeding related thereto. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyer and the Sellers agree that the Companies will retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute or period of limitations of the respective Taxable periods. The Buyer and the Sellers further agree, upon the other party’s request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Code § 6043(c).

11.4 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions will be paid by the Sellers when due, and the Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to furnish upon request to any other Party such further information, to execute and deliver to any other Party such other documents, and to do such other acts and things, all as any other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of the Transaction Documents.

12.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Indemnified Party.

12.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Documents and supersede all prior agreements (whether written or oral and whether express or implied) among any Parties to the extent related to the subject matter of the Transaction Documents (including any letter of intent or confidentiality agreement).

12.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Seller may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) any of such Seller’s rights, interests or obligations in this Agreement without the prior written approval of the Buyer. The Buyer may assign any or all of its rights or interests, or delegate any or all of its obligations, in this Agreement to (a) any successor to the Buyer, any successor to any Company, or any acquirer of a material portion of the businesses or assets of the Buyer or any Company, (b) one or more of the Buyer’s Affiliates or (c) any lender to the Buyer or any Company as security for obligations to such lender.

12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in multiple counterparts and shall be effective as of the date set forth above when each Party shall have executed and delivered a counterpart hereof, whether or not the same counterpart is executed and delivered by each Party. When so executed and delivered, each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall be deemed one and the same document. Transmission of images of signed signature pages by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means shall have the same effect as the delivery of manually signed documents in person.

12.6 Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed effectively given to another Party on the earliest of the date (a) three Business Days after such notice is sent by registered U.S. mail, return receipt requested, (b) one Business Day after receipt of confirmation if such notice is sent by facsimile, (c) one Business Day after delivery of such notice into the custody and control of an overnight courier service for next day delivery, (d) one Business Day after delivery of such notice in person and (e) such notice is received by that Party; in each case to the appropriate address below (or to such other address as a Party may designate by notice to the other Parties):

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS THAT MIGHT BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.

12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principles of any jurisdiction.

12.9 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless the amendment is in writing and signed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving Party (or the Sellers’ Representative, in the case of a waiver by any or all Sellers). The failure of a Party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will not affect such Party’s rights at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed to extend to any other breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other breach.

12.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof or the invalid or unenforceable provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

12.11 Expenses. The Target will bear all expenses incurred by any Company or any Representative of any Company in connection with the Transactions contemplated to be performed before or on the Closing Date and such expenses will have been paid or accrued by the Target prior to the Closing Date. Each Seller will bear all expenses incurred by such Seller or any of its Representatives in connection with the Transactions contemplated to be performed before or on the Closing Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Buyer will bear all expenses incurred by the Buyer or any of its Representatives in connection with the Transactions contemplated to be performed on or before the Closing Date. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each Party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such Party arising from a breach of this Agreement by another Party.

12.12 Construction. The article and section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Article or Section refers to the corresponding Article or Section of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Schedule or Exhibit refers to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement and all such Schedules and Exhibits are incorporated herein by reference. The word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation.” This Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise, any reference to any Law will be deemed also to refer to all amendments and successor provisions thereto and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof and the Closing Date. All accounting terms not specifically defined in this Agreement will be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof (unless another effective date is specified herein).

12.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably and would have no adequate remedy of law if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Parties will be entitled to an injunction to prevent any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to enforce specifically any provision of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled and without having to prove the inadequacy of any other remedy they may have at law or in equity and without being required to post bond or other security.

12.14 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all time periods and dates set forth herein.

12.15 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller, on behalf of such Seller and such Seller’s successors, heirs and permitted assigns, hereby appoints ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as “Sellers’ Representative” as such Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for all purposes set forth in this Agreement, including the full power and authority (i) to perform the Transactions to be performed by the Sellers under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (ii) to disburse any funds received hereunder to the Sellers, (iii) to execute and deliver on behalf of each Seller any amendment or waiver under this Agreement and to agree to resolution of all claims hereunder, (iv) to retain legal counsel and other professional services, at the expense of the Sellers, in connection with the performance by the Sellers’ Representative of this Agreement and (i) to do each and every act (including the execution and delivery of the certificates required by Section 7.1) and exercise all rights which such Seller is permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If the Sellers’ Representative resigns or is otherwise unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, the Sellers that hold or held a majority of all of the Shares sold or to be sold hereunder will appoint a new Person to serve as the Sellers’ Representative and will provide prompt written notice thereof to the Buyer. Until such notice is received, the Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the actions and statements of the previous Sellers’ Representative. The power and authority granted hereunder will be exclusive and no Seller shall be entitled to exercise any right under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement except through the Sellers’ Representative.

(b) The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative as the attorney-in-fact for each Seller as set forth in this Section 12.15 and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred in consideration of the interest of the other Sellers, is therefore coupled with an interest and is and will be irrevocable and shall neither be terminated nor otherwise affected by any act of any Seller or by operation of law, whether by the death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetence of such Seller or by the occurrence of

any other event. If, after the execution of this Agreement, any Seller dies, dissolves or liquidates or becomes incapacitated or incompetent, the Sellers’ Representative is nevertheless authorized, empowered and directed to act in accordance with this Section 12.15 as if that death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetency had not occurred and regardless of notice thereof. Each Seller agrees to execute such ▇▇▇▇▇ and documents as may be necessary and to give such instructions to his personal representatives as may be necessary so that its successors will remain subject to this Agreement and carry out the full intent and purposes hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Section 12.15 will not be affected by the subsequent incapacity or mental incompetency of any Seller, except as otherwise provided by applicable Ohio state law.

12.16 Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. Buyer has conducted an independent investigation of the Technology, the financial condition of the Company, the results of the operation of the Company’s business, the Company’s assets and the Company’s liabilities (collectively, the “Investigated Items”). In making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely upon the results of such investigation and the representations, warranties, schedules, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Sellers that are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such representations and warranties constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company and Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Investigated Items. Buyer understands that the neither the Company nor either of the Sellers make any representations or warranties with respect to any projections, forecasts or forward-looking information about the Company nor the Technology. There is no assurance that any projected or forecasted results will be achieved. EXCEPT AS TO THOSE MATTERS EXPRESSLY COVERED BY THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER IS (INDIRECTLY) ACCEPTING THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS”, AND THE COMPANY AND THE SELLERS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND GUARANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE COMPANY AND THE SELLERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE REGARDING ANY OF THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer is thoroughly familiar with the assets of the Company and the Technology and understand that the Company’s assets are being indirectly accepted “AS IS, WHERE IS” in their current condition and state of repair without any reduction in the Purchase Price or claim of any kind. Buyer acknowledges that neither the Company, either of the Sellers nor any of their representatives nor any other person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any memoranda, charts, summaries, presentations or schedules heretofore made available by the Company nor either of the Sellers or their representatives to Buyer or any other information that is not included in this Agreement or the Schedules. Buyer also acknowledges that neither the Company, any of the Sellers nor any of their representatives nor any other person will have or be subject to any liability to any other person resulting from the distribution of any such information to, or use of any such information by any other person.
