In the event that Buyer requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date; provided that, prior to amending or terminating the Company’s 401(k) plan, the Company shall provide Parent with the form and substance of any applicable resolutions or amendments for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) No provision of this Agreement (i) shall require Parent to continue to employ any particular Company Service Provider following the Closing Date for any particular period of time or prevent or restrict in any way the right of Parent or its Affiliates to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any Company Service Provider (or to cause any of the foregoing actions) at any time, or to change (or cause the change of) the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment or service of any such Company Service Providers, (ii) shall be construed to prohibit Parent from amending or terminating any employee benefit program, (iii) shall constitute or be construed as an amendment of any employee benefit program or (iv) shall create or be intended to create any third-party beneficiary rights.

(d) As a material inducement to the commencement of the employment of Messrs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, promptly following Closing, Parent will grant each of Messrs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ an employment inducement award within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) as further described on Schedule 6.6(d) under the heading “Employment Inducement Awards”. Additionally, following the Closing, Parent, through the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors, will design and implement an equity incentive program as further described on Schedule 6.6(d) under the heading “Equity Incentive Program”. Awards under such Equity Incentive Program shall be allocated among the Company Service Providers as determined by Parent in consultation with the Company’s senior leadership. Such Equity Incentive Program will be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Parent’s equity incentive plans (as may be amended from time to time), in the recipient’s offer letter and in a restricted stock unit agreement to be entered into between the participants in such Equity Incentive Program and Parent.

(e) Parent shall cause to be paid to the Company Service Providers in accordance with the Company’s payroll and payment processes and procedures, and subject to, if applicable, applicable withholdings, the cash amounts and shares of Parent Common Stock as set forth in, and subject to the terms set forth in Schedule 6.6(e).

6.7 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Tax Contests; Tax Actions.

(a) The Member shall prepare and timely file or cause to be prepared and timely filed (and the expenses related thereto shall be Transaction Expenses for purposes of this Agreement), all Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are due after Closing and for any Straddle Period; provided, however, that the Member shall provide drafts of such Tax Returns to Parent at least 20 days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return that relates to income Taxes (and as soon as practicable in the case of all other Tax Returns). Member shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments to such Tax Returns proposed in writing by Parent at least 10 days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return. Member shall pay to Parent, within five days following any demand by Parent, with respect to such Tax Returns, an amount equal to the amount of Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns to the extent not already included in the Debt Amount; provided, however, with respect to such Tax Returns for a Straddle Period, the amount owed by Member shall be an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns which relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (as determined pursuant to Section 6.7(b) below).

(b) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of a Tax not based on income, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items, the amount of any Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of Tax for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the total number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

(c) Parent shall promptly notify Member of the assertion by any Governmental Authority of any claim, or the commencement by any Governmental Authority of any suit, action or other proceeding principally with respect to any Tax liability of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (each, a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to give such prompt notice shall not affect Member’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent the Member is materially prejudiced thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conflict between this Section 6.7(c) and Section 9.4, Section 9.4 shall control.

(d) The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing for the avoidance of doubt, the Company) to, (i) make, revoke or amend any Tax election with respect to the Company that is retroactively effective on or before the Closing Date, (ii) file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that was originally due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions), (iii) voluntarily approach any taxing authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company that were originally due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any applicable extensions), or (iv) take any action on the Closing Date (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) that would create a Tax liability on the Closing Date or increase the Member’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Article IX.

6.8 Transfer Taxes. All state and local transfer, sales, filing, recordation, use, stamp, registration or other similar Taxes and fees resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid 50% by Member and 50% by the Parent. The party required by applicable law shall prepare and file the necessary Tax returns or other documentation. The Parties shall pay for such preparation and filing in the same manner as Transfer Taxes.

6.9 Tax Refunds. Any refund of or credit against Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or any election to apply the right to such a refund as a payment of, or a credit against, future Taxes) (a “Pre-Closing Tax Refund”), will be credited to the Member, subject to any set off. Parent will promptly pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of any such Pre-Closing Tax Refund, including the amount of interest received thereon and net of any reasonable, documented expenses associated with securing such refund, to the Member upon receipt (or use) of such Pre-Closing Tax Refund by Parent including, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates (it being understood that in the case of an election to use any such refund as a payment of, or a credit against, future Taxes, such refund will be considered to be used at the time such election is made). Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Member in securing any Pre-Closing Tax Refunds to which it may be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.9.

6.10 Indemnification. The Parties agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former officers of the Company (the “Indemnified Officers”) as provided under its Organizational Documents or any indemnification, employment or other similar agreements between any Indemnified Officer and the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement and listed on Schedule 6.10, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing in accordance with their respective terms to the extent permitted by applicable Law. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer (i) shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Company to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to the Indemnified Officers than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement, subject to applicable Law, and (ii) shall perform and discharge, or cause to be discharged, all obligations to provide, in accordance with such Organizational Documents, such indemnity, exculpation and advancement of expenses during such six (6) year period. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Officers and their respective heirs and assigns. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall be binding on Buyer and all its successors and assigns. In the event that Buyer or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the successors and assigns of Buyer shall assume or succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10. The foregoing notwithstanding the indemnificaiton rights provided under this Section 6.10 shall not apply in respect of any amounts payable to any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to ARTICLE IX hereof.

6.11 No Solicitation of Transactions. The Company and Member will not, directly or indirectly, (i) discuss, negotiate, undertake, authorize, recommend, propose or enter into, either as the proposed surviving, merged, acquiring or acquired corporation, any transaction involving a merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of any amount of the assets of the Company or Equity Interests of the Company other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Acquisition Transaction”), (ii) facilitate, knowingly encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or submissions of proposals or offers in respect of an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) furnish or cause to be furnished, to any Person, any information concerning the business, operations, properties or assets of the Company in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or knowingly encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Until the earlier of (A) the Closing and (B) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall immediately notify Parent orally and in writing if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, (x) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any other Persons (other than Parent) conducted heretofore with respect to the Acquisition Transaction, (y) terminate access to all such other Persons to any data room related to the Company, and (z) request all such other Persons to return or destroy all due diligence materials provided to such other Persons pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreement between the Company and such other Persons. The Company agrees not to release any third party from the confidentiality provisions of any agreement to which the Company is a party.

6.12 Press Releases and Public Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement related to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to or at the Closing without the prior consent of the other Parties; provided that nothing in this Section 6.12 shall prevent any Party from: (a) making any disclosure it believes in good faith it is required to make by applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any Nasdaq rules or listing requirements, in all cases as in effect from time to time), in which case the disclosing Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure, or (b) enforcing its rights hereunder.

6.13 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, Member shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause his Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from, and not disclose to, any Person (other than any such Representative) all non-public documents and information concerning the Company or the operations of its business, either furnished to it by Buyer, Parent or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, or to which the Member otherwise had access at any time (including prior to the Closing Date) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the conduct of business prior to the Closing, including all non-public information associated with the Company or the operations of its business (“Confidential Information”), except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown by the Company to have been: (a) previously known by the Person receiving such documents or information; (b) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such documents or information hereunder) through no disclosure by the Member; or (c) lawfully acquired by the Member after the Closing Date from another source that is not under an obligation to Parent, Buyer or another Person to keep such documents and information confidential. In the event that the Member is requested or required by oral question, interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall (i) provide Parent with prompt notice so that Parent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Parent’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.13 and (ii) cooperate with Parent, at Parent’s expense, in any effort Parent undertakes to obtain a protective order or other remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or Parent waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.13, the disclosing Person shall (x) disclose to the Person compelling disclosure only that portion of the Confidential Information that the disclosing Person is advised, by its counsel, is legally required and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment is accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed (to the extent available) and (y) use reasonable best efforts to promptly furnish to Parent a copy (in whatever form or medium) of such Confidential Information that it intends to furnish.

6.14 Payoff Letters. No later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent (a) all Debt Payoff Letters and (b) a Transaction Expense Payoff Letters in respect of the full amount of Transaction Expenses, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and executed by the applicable Indebtedness payoff recipient or party to whom the Transaction Expenses are owed.

6.15 Registration Rights.

(a) Parent shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or if Parent is then-eligible to use Form S-3, Parent may elect to file the initial Registration Statement on Form S-3) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities; provided, that such initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of Consideration Shares equal to the Required Registration Amount as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to have such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.

(b) In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, Parent shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement, or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 30 days after the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any position of the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). Parent shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Parent Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the total number of Consideration Shares then-issuable under this Agreement (and after taking into account any limitations to such issuance imposed by this Agreement).

(c) The Resale Registration Statement (or any prospectus or prospectus supplement forming a part of such Resale Registration Statement), as initially filed, shall include the Registrable Securities of Member and any permitted transferee thereof for whom Parent has received properly completed Selling Holder Questionnaires on or before the Closing Date.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if Parent furnishes to Member a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Parent stating that in the good faith judgment of Parent it would be materially detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that Parent has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render Parent unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then Parent shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing or to otherwise suspend the use of such Registration Statement, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly.

(e) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Parent to take any action pursuant to this Section 6.14 with respect to the Registrable Securities that Member shall furnish to Parent such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of Member’s Registrable Securities.

(f) Parent shall notify Member promptly upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the Resale Registration Statement or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, as promptly as practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend such prospectus so that such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. After the Resale Registration Statement becomes effective, Parent shall notify Member of any request by the SEC that Parent amend or supplement such Resale Registration Statement or prospectus, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement.

(g) All of the expenses incurred in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including all SEC fees, blue sky registration and filing fees, listing notices and filing fees, printing fees and expenses, transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses and all fees and expenses of Parent’s outside counsel and independent accountants of Parent shall be paid by Parent. Parent shall not be responsible for any selling expenses of Member or any other selling stockholder in connection with the Resale Registration Statement.

(h) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Consideration Shares being issued to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance) on the Nasdaq effective as of the Closing.

6.16 Lock up; Transfer Management.

(a) Member agrees that it shall not, and shall cause and direct each of its Affiliates not to, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, transfer or assign (with or without consideration), lend or otherwise dispose of the Consideration Shares, (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition (whether by Member or someone other than Member), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of the Consideration Shares, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of the Consideration Shares, in cash or otherwise (any such sale, loan, pledge or other disposition, or transfer of economic consequences, a “Transfer”) or (iii) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any action or activity described in clause (i) above or transaction or arrangement described in clause (ii) above; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Member from making a Permitted Transfer so long as the Permitted Transferee agrees in a written agreement (which must be provided to Parent before the Permitted Transfer is effective) that (x) any Consideration Shares transferred pursuant to the Permitted Transfer remain subject to restrictions identical to, and remaining in place for the same duration as, those contained in this Section 6.16 otherwise applicable to the Consideration Shares as if no such Permitted Transfer had occurred (the “Share Restrictions”), and (y) Parent shall be made an express third party beneficiary of such agreement with the right to enforce the Share Restrictions against the Permitted Transferee. Member represents and warrants that Member is not currently, and has not caused or directed any of its Affiliates to be or become, a party to any agreement or arrangement that provides for, is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any prohibited Transfer of Consideration Shares.

(b) Member acknowledges and agrees that all certificates representing the Consideration Shares of Parent (and the shares of every other person to which Member has made a Permitted Transfer subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 6.16) shall bear a legend or legends referencing the restrictions applicable to such shares under this Section 6.16, which legend shall state in substance:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO VOLUME TRADING RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER. SUCH VOLUME TRADING RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SECURITIES.”

6.17 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, Member shall, from time to time, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request, promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer or other documents, and perform such further acts and obtain such further consents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, as Parent may reasonably require in order to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

9.4 Third Party Claims. If any action at Law, suit in equity or other Proceeding is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Parent Indemnified Party or Member (such party, the “Indemnified Party”) believes is reasonably likely to result in Damages under this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Member (in the case of a Parent Indemnified Party) or Parent (in the case of Member) (such notified Party, the “Responsible Party”) of such action or suit; provided that any delay or failure to so notify shall not impact the availability of indemnification hereunder. The Responsible Party shall, promptly and in no event later than five (5) days after receipt of the notice, notify such Indemnified Party whether the Responsible Party elects to conduct and control such action or suit, but only after confirming in writing to such Indemnified Party that it accepts responsibility to indemnify such Indemnified Party for all Damages arising from such action or suit. Unless and until the Responsible Party delivers the foregoing notice, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, contest, settle or compromise such action or suit in the exercise of its sole discretion, unless the third-party claimant and such Indemnified Party provide to the Responsible Party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of such action or suit and such settlement, compromise or judgment does not involve any nonmonetary penalty or admission of fault or Liability, in which case the Responsible Party shall promptly cause to be paid to such Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE IX the amount of any Damages in respect of such action or suit. If the Responsible Party provides the foregoing notice, the Responsible Party shall have the right to conduct and control, at its sole expense and with counsel of its choice (which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party), such action or suit, and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith; provided that the Responsible Party shall not settle such action or suit without the prior consent of such Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the third-party claimant and the Responsible Party provide to such Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of such action or suit and such settlement, compromise or judgment does not involve any nonmonetary penalty or admission of fault or Liability on the part of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. Such Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such action or suit that is defended by the Responsible Party with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Responsible Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined based on the advice of counsel that a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Responsible Party and such Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable or there are one or more factual or legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different or in addition to those that are available to the Responsible Party, (iii) the action or suit involves the seeking of non-monetary relief which, if granted, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (iv) the amount of potential Damages exceeds the amount that is available for indemnification hereunder, after taking into account all other claims made or reasonably anticipated, or (v) the Responsible Party ceases to diligently defend the action or suit, in all of which cases such counsel shall be at the expense of the Responsible Party.

9.5 Limitations and Other Agreements.

(a) Any payment to a Parent Indemnified Party in respect of any claim for indemnification properly asserted by any Parent Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(a) shall first reduce the amount of the Second Cash Payment in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof until the earlier of the date on which the Second Cash Payment has either been paid or reduced to $0.00, after which Parent shall next seek recourse against the Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement (or the Cash In Lieu Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, if applicable), and after which, Parent may next seek recourse against the Member directly. Additionally, Parent may set off indemnificable Damages against any amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.4.

(b) Any payment by the Member or Buyer or Parent pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable, in respect of any indemnification properly asserted by any Indemnified Party shall be limited to the amount of any Damages that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by an Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim (net of any deductible or any other expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery).

(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to double recovery for any indemnifiable Damages even though such Damages may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement.

(d) Except with respect to any Damages arising from any fraud by the Company, the Member or their Affiliates, the Member shall not be liable for any Damages in excess of the aggregate cash consideration actually paid to the Member under this Agreement and, as and if applicable, the value of the Consideration Shares on the date issuable under this Agreement (or the Cash In Lieu Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, if applicable).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall have no right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to, or based on, Taxes to the extent such Taxes (A) are attributable to Tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (B) are due to the unavailability in any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attribute from a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (C) result from transactions or actions taken by Buyer, Parent or any of their Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company) after the Closing that are not specifically contemplated by this Agreement, (D) result from any Parent financing transaction, or (E) do not arise from a third party claim.

(f) Member covenants and agrees not to terminate, dissolve, liquidate or wind up Member until the later of (i) five years following the Closing Date and (ii) the resolution of all claims and matters relating to Item 1. set forth on Schedule 9.2(a)(vi).

9.6 Materiality. For purposes of this ARTICLE IX, each representation or warranty in this Agreement shall be interpreted without reference or giving effect to any materiality qualification or limitation set forth in such representation and warranty, including the terms “material,” “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” (which instead shall be read as any adverse effect), and like expressions.

9.7 Adjustments to Total Consideration. All indemnification payments under this ARTICLE IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for all Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

9.8 No Effect. No investigation by any Party or its Representatives prior to or after the date of this Agreement shall diminish or obviate any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by a Party of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy provided for herein based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
