If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iv)          If the Stockholders’ Representative and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”, with any amounts not so disputed being the “Undisputed Amounts”), shall be submitted for resolution to the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, as may be mutually acceptable to Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Independent Accountant”), who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket and Cap limitations set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to Losses based on upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.1(a), Section 3.2, Section 3.4, Section 3.12(c), Section 3.23, Section 4.1, and Section 4.3.

7.3          Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay or reimburse Seller Indemnitees for all Losses incurred by or imposed upon such Seller Indemnitee and resulting from, arising out of or related to:

(a)          any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or in any other certificate or document delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; and

(b)          any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement;

provided, however, Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 7.3(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.3(a) exceeds the Basket, in which case Purchaser shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Basket. Further, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket and Cap limitations set forth in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to Losses based on upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.6.

7.4          Materiality.For purposes of this Section VII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

7.5          Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Section VII is referred to as the “Indemnitee,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Section VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a)          Third Party Claims.  If any Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such 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 Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, (i) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee that cannot be waived, (iii) the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi‑criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; or (iv) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects; the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnitee determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee may, subject to Section 7.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including (subject to reasonable privilege and confidentiality concerns) making available 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 settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, except as provided in this Section 7.5(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 Indemnitee and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)          Direct Claims.  Any Action by an Indemnitee on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnitee giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such 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 Indemnitee shall describe the Direct 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 Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnitee shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnitee shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Seller’s personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim.  If the Indemnifying Party timely rejects all or any part of such claim, the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)          Cooperation.  Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

7.6          Payments; Offset and Holdback from Note.  Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) business days of such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, any obligation of or claim against Seller in indemnification hereunder shall be offset and satisfied first by offsetting the amounts owed by Purchaser to Sellers under the Note (the “Offset Obligation”) and the parties agree that the Offset Obligation shall be Purchaser’s primary, but not exclusive, recourse against Sellers. Further, to the extent that a Third Party Claim or Direct Claim, pursuant to which a Seller is the Indemnifying Party under this Section VII, is not finally resolved prior to the due date of the Note, Purchaser may holdback payment of such amounts (the “Holdback Amount”) otherwise due under the Note as Purchaser reasonably determines will be required to resolve the pending claim by depositing the amount of the pending claim in an interest-bearing escrow account at a financial institution jointly selected by Purchaser and Stockholders’ Representative.  The escrow agent shall disburse such funds in accordance with the parties’ joint written instructions or as directed by judicial order or decree upon final disposition of the claim. In the event it is finally determined that Purchaser is not entitled to the Holdback Amount, then within ten (10) days after disbursement of the Holdback Amount, Purchase shall pay to Seller accrued interest on the Holdback Amount (exclusive of any interest earned in the escrow account) that is ultimately returned to Sellers at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from April 30, 2018 through the date of payment of such Holdback Amount to Sellers. The failure of Purchaser to pay any amount due under the Note on account of an Offset Obligation, including without limitation, the Holdback Amount on the due date under the Note, will not constitute an event of default under the Note, subject to timely payment of interest to Sellers in the event it is finally determined that Purchaser is not entitled to the Holdback Amount.

7.7          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.

7.8          Effect of Investigation.  The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnitee’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 Indemnitee (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

7.9          Cumulative Remedies.  The rights and remedies provided in this Section VII are cumulative and in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

SECTION VIII.          
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

8.1          Employee Matters.  On or before the Closing, Purchaser shall offer to continue the employment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Moderalli, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Purchaser may, but shall not be required to, cause the Company to continue the

employment of any other employee of the Company, at Purchaser’s sole discretion.  All terms of employment shall be at the discretion of Purchaser and all benefits and terms are subject to change as determined by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion. At or before the Closing, the Sellers shall cause the Company to pay all employees for accrued personal time off, up to an aggregate of 80 hours per employee. If any employee who continues to be employed by the Company after Closing has accrued personal time off remaining after such payment, then such employee shall be entitled to use such excess personal time off after Closing, subject to Purchaser’s personal time off policies.

8.2          Confidentiality.

(a)          At all times from and after the Closing Date, each Seller shall hold, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in confidence, and shall not use for its or their benefit or for the benefit of others (except Purchaser as contemplated in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Independent Contractor Agreement), any and all confidential or proprietary information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (i) becomes generally available to and known by the public after the Closing Date through no fault of the Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives; or (ii) is lawfully acquired by Seller after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b)          Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, each agree that it shall not, at any time after execution of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make derogatory statements regarding the other or its respective Affiliates, successors, directors or officers to the public, any third party, or any current or former employee of the Company. Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing, Purchaser shall, by email or other communication, affirmatively direct its senior management to refrain from making any statement that would violate the foregoing. The foregoing shall not be violated by Purchaser’s (or any senior management’s) or any Seller’s truthful responses to legal process or inquiry by a Governmental Authority.

(c)          Each Seller and Purchaser (solely as to Section 8.2(b)) acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 8.2 would give rise to irreparable harm to the other, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of any such applicable obligations, the non-breaching party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(d)          Each Seller, the Company and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that all  restrictions applicable to it in this Section 8.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the party and constitute a material inducement to them to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 8.2 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 8.2 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.3          Audit Cooperation.  From and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall cooperate, and shall cause the Company’s Accountants to cooperate (at no material expense to Sellers), with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Accountants with respect to the preparation and audit of the Company’s financial statements of for the years ended December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2016, to enable Purchaser to comply with its reporting obligations, including without limitation, the filing of a Form 8-K with the SEC with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with Item 9 of such form.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Company’s Accountants to, make available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Accountants all personnel, information, books and records reasonably requested in connection with the completion and delivery of such audited financial statements, at no material cost to Sellers.  Furthermore, the Sellers shall execute and deliver to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Accountants an audit representation letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Audit Representation Letter”).  Sellers agree and acknowledge that the representations and warranties set forth in the Audit Representation Letter are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

8.4          Books and Records.  From and after the Closing, subject to the reasonable confidentiality precautions of the party whose information is being accessed, each party will, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice from any requesting party:  (a) cause such requesting party and such requesting party’s Representatives to have reasonable access to the books and records of such party related to the Business, and to the personnel responsible for preparing and maintaining such books and records, if available, in each case to the extent necessary to (1) defend or pursue any Action, (2) defend or pursue indemnification matters hereunder, (3) prepare or audit financial statements, (4) prepare or file Tax Returns or (5) address other Tax, accounting, financial or legal matters or respond to any investigation or other inquiry by or under the control of any Governmental Authority; (b) permit such requesting party and such requesting party’s Representatives to make copies of such books and records for the foregoing purposes, at such requesting party’s expense; and (c) maintain and preserve such party’s books and records at such party’s expense.  If requested by the other party, the requesting party will provide reasonable substantiation of such requesting party’s purpose for such access to show that such access is for any of the foregoing purposes.

The parties shall consult with each other as to the timing and content of any such announcement. Each party will cooperate with each other in issuing, promptly after Closing, a joint press release (with mutually agreed upon text) that announces the parties’ entry into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein generally.

The Sellers shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, cooperate and assist the Purchaser with an orderly transition of the ownership of the Company to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the Company and the business of the Purchaser that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby.

TAX MATTERS

9.1          Tax Covenants.

(a)          Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Representatives and Sellers shall not make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction out of the ordinary course of business that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Purchaser in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. The Company agrees that Purchaser is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any such action of the Company, any of its Representatives or Sellers. The Sellers shall jointly indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(b)          All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Sellers when due. Stockholders’ Representative shall

timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Purchaser shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

9.2          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 neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

9.3          Tax Indemnification. Sellers shall jointly indemnify the Company, Purchaser, and each Purchaser Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.22; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Section IX; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date. In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, Sellers shall jointly reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of the Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.3 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Purchaser or the Company.

9.4          Tax Returns.

(a)          The Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions). Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

(b)          Purchaser shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by Purchaser to Stockholders’ Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Stockholders’ Representative, supporting documentation) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Stockholders’ Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, it shall, within twenty (20) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Purchaser 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, Purchaser and Stockholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Purchaser and Stockholders’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after

receipt by Purchaser of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Stockholders’ Representative. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Purchaser.

9.5          Straddle Period.

(a)          in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b)          in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

9.6          Contests. Purchaser agrees to give written notice to Stockholders’ Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Purchaser pursuant to this Section IX (a “Tax Claim”). Purchaser shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Purchaser shall obtain the prior written consent of Stockholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Stockholders’ Representative.

9.7          Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Stockholders’ Representative, the Company and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Section IX or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Stockholders’ Representative, the Company and Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period

beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Stockholders’ Representative, the Company or Purchaser (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

9.8          Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.9          Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to this Section IX shall be satisfied from the Sellers by reduction of the principal amount payable under the Note.

9.10          FIRPTA Statement. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying to the effect that no interest in the Company is a U.S. real property interest (such certificate in the form required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-3(c)) (the “FIRPTA Statement”).

9.11          Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.22 and this Section IX shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

9.12          Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Section VII may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Section IX, the provisions of this Section IX shall govern.

SECTION X.
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1          No Waiver.  The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by any other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision and any waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provisions, a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.

10.2          Stockholders’ Representative.

(a)          Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Stockholders’ Representative as such Seller’s representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Seller with respect to this Agreement after Closing and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to:

(viii)          take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (including Sections VII and IX) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by Stockholders’ Representative, as being fully binding upon such Seller. Notices or communications to or from Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers. Any decision or action by Stockholders’ Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Stockholders’ Representative and Purchaser relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Seller. The provisions of this Section, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one Seller, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

(b)          In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Stockholders’ Representative, a new Stockholders’ Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Sellers. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholders’ Representative shall be sent to Purchaser, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Purchaser; provided, that until such notice is received, Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Stockholders’ Representative as described in Section 10.2(a) above.

(c)          Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Stockholders’ Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Sellers shall jointly indemnify and hold harmless Stockholders’ Representative from and against, compensate him, her or it for, reimburse him, her or it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with his, her or its activities as Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of the Stockholders’ Representative, Stockholders’ Representative shall reimburse the Sellers the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied from the Sellers jointly.

10.3          Successors and Assigns.  No assignment by any party hereto shall be permissible without the written consent of the other parties hereto, and this Agreement and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their authorized assigns and their respective successors, heirs and administrators.  At or after the Closing, all or any of the rights of Purchaser hereunder may be assigned as collateral security to any lender or lenders (including any agent for any such lender or lenders) providing financing to Purchaser, or to any assignee or assignees of any such lender, lenders or agent. No assignment, with or without the consent of any other party, shall release the assigning party of any obligations hereunder.

10.4          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any of the other transaction documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, must be instituted in the federal or state courts located in the City of Seattle and County of King, Washington. Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each party waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any suit, action or proceeding so brought.  Either party may make service of process on the other party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.6. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and therefore, each 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 or the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.5          Expenses; Transfer Taxes.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be paid by the

party incurring such cost and expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated for any reason. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due. Sellers shall, at their own expense, prepare and timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees.

10.6          Notices.  All notices, demands and other communications which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested); (c) on the date  sent  by email of a PDF document (with written confirmation of transmission); and (d) on the third day after the date mailed, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  In each case notice shall be sent to the following address or to such other place and with such other copies as any party may designate as to itself by notice to the others:

10.7          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one in the same instrument.  A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email 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.

10.8          Announcements and Communications. The parties hereto agree not to make any public announcement in respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or furnish any information to the public or any third party concerning the financial or non-financial aspects of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to or after Closing, unless such announcement or furnishing of information is agreed upon by all parties hereto or is necessitated by Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, stock exchange rules, federal securities Laws or other applicable Laws, as reasonably determined by counsel for the Purchaser and after consultation with Seller.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or restrict communication by Purchaser to customers of the Company’s business.

10.9          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the schedules, documents and instruments delivered pursuant to and specified in this Agreement, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject matter hereof, and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of every and any nature between them, and no party shall be bound by any condition, definition, warranty or representation, other than as expressly set forth or provided for in this Agreement, or as may be, on or subsequent to the date hereof, set forth in writing and signed by the party to be bound thereby.  This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by agreement in writing, signed by all of the parties hereto.

10.10          Waiver; Delays or Omissions.  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 delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party hereto shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Person nor shall it be construed to be a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power.

10.11          Severability.  Unless otherwise provided herein, if any provision of the Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of

the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the limited extent required to permit its enforcement in a manner most closely approximating the intention of the parties as expressed herein.

10.12          Time; Captions; Exhibits and Schedules.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.  The captions contained in this Agreement in no way define, limit or extend any provision of this Agreement.  The exhibits and Disclosure Schedule that are attached to this Agreement are a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.

10.13          Construction. This Agreement is to be deemed to have been prepared jointly by the parties hereto after arms-length negotiations, and any uncertainty or ambiguity existing herein shall not be interpreted against any party, but according to the application of the rules of interpretation of contracts.

10.14          Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly provided in Section VII and Section IX, each party hereto intends that this Agreement shall not benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any Person other than parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.15          Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
