Nothing in this Section 5.6 shall confer upon any Business Employee or Transferred Employee or any other Person any right with respect to employment or service or continued employment or service with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, nor shall anything in this Section 5.6 limit or interfere with Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s right to terminate the employment or service of any Transferred Employee or any other Person at any time and for any or no reason, with or without cause or notice.

-22-

(d) For [***] following the Closing Date, subject to the terms of the benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained by Buyer or one of its Affiliates (“Buyer Benefit Plans”), Buyer or one of its Affiliates will provide each Transferred Employee with [***].

Seller shall provide Buyer with any comments to the Allocation within [***] days after the date on which ▇▇▇▇▇ delivered the Allocation to Seller, and Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith regarding the Allocation (unless Seller does not provide any comments within the time period set forth herein, in which case Buyer’s proposed Allocation shall be deemed final).

5.10 Non-Solicitation and No Hire.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the [***] anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), Seller shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any Transferred Employee to terminate his or her employment or service relationship with Buyer or its Affiliates, or (ii) employ, hire or otherwise retain, any Transferred Employee, in each case, while such Transferred Employee is employed or engaged by any Buyer or any of their Affiliates, and for [***] months following the termination of such Transferred Employee’s employment or engagement, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller or its controlled Affiliates from making any general solicitation not specifically directed to any Transferred Employee.

(d) If at the time of enforcement of any provision of this Section 5.10, a court holds that any restrictions in this Section 5.10 are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the court will be allowed to revise this Section 5.10 to substitute the maximum period, geographical area and scope reasonable under such circumstances, as applicable.

8.4 Procedure for Indemnification – Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event a Buyer Indemnified Person or a Seller Indemnified Person (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, such Indemnified Party shall provide written notice (a “Claims Notice”) to the Party from which it seeks indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such Third Party Claim after it becomes aware of it. The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all non-ministerial notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

-30-

(b) Within [***] days after receipt of the Claims Notice, or, in the event a written response is required to be submitted in connection with such Third Party Claim prior to [***] days from the receipt of such Claims Notice, then such earlier time so as to reasonably enable the Indemnified Party to timely submit such written response (“Election Period”), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether it (i) disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement or (ii) desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claims (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall also acknowledge to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Article VIII); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense or control of a Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if such Third Party Claim (1) seeks an Order or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (2) involves any Proceeding initiated by a Governmental Body or a Proceeding that involves a material regulatory action or challenges a Permit of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claims (and the Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume the defense or control of such Third Party Claim), then the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defense, settlement or compromise of any action subject to any such Third Party Claim with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and acceptable to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the conduct of such defense by the Indemnifying Party at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Election Period that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.4, or if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.4 but fails to diligently and promptly defend or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume or diligently provide the defense or settlement thereof. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, and if counsel to the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), may retain separate counsel, and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to file, during the Election Period, any motion, answer or other pleadings which the Indemnified Party shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests.

-31-

(c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without each Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may reasonably recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party complete from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such settlement, compromise or discharge (i) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party, or (ii) that, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, would otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, admit any liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Parties will cooperate in the defense thereof (and the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such cooperation), which cooperation will include the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

8.5 Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Damages is to be made by an Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Party shall give a Claims Notice briefly describing the Direct Claim and, to the extent then ascertainable, the monetary damages sought to the Indemnifying Party hereunder as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VIII. Any failure to submit any such Claims Notice of a Direct Claim to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall (a) allow the Indemnifying Party and its representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to any Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such Direct Claim, and (b) reasonably assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Party’s premises and personnel and the right, during normal business hours, to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its representatives may reasonably request.

8.6 Mitigation of Damages. The Party seeking indemnification under this Article VIII shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages which form the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder.

-32-

8.7 Limitations on Indemnification.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing limitations shall not apply to fraud of any Party.

8.8 Recovery of Common Stock. .In the event Seller is liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 8.2 at any time prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, Buyer (on behalf of the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party) may elect in its sole discretion to receive and cancel an amount of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of warrant under the Warrant Agreement (or, as applicable, reduce the amount of Common Stock subject to the Warrant Agreement) equal in value to the indemnifiable Damages as satisfaction of such liability (which Common Stock shall be valued at the Closing Common Stock Value)..

8.9 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, (a) the sole and exclusive remedy of a Party with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Liabilities or the Contemplated Transactions will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and (b) each Party agrees that from and after the Closing it will not bring any claims or causes of action not otherwise made pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII, except in the case of clauses (a) and (b), for (i) claims seeking specific performance or other equitable relief to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted hereunder and thereunder and (ii) as otherwise provided herein or in any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude any Party from seeking any remedy based upon any fraud by the other Party.

8.10 Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Parties agree that all amounts paid pursuant to this Article VIII constitute an adjustment to the purchase price set forth in Section 2.5 for all purposes, including Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

9.4 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the Ancillary Agreements, Disclosure Schedule, the Exhibits, and the other documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter.

9.6 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by the mutual written agreement of each of the Parties hereto. Any amendment shall be binding on all Parties hereto.

9.7 Disclosure Schedule. There may be included in the Disclosure Schedule items and information that are not “material,” and such inclusion will not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or agreement that any such item or information (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) is “material,” or to affect the interpretation of such term for purposes of this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed therein. The Disclosure Schedule sets forth items of disclosure with specific reference to the particular Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the information in the Disclosure Schedule relates; provided, however, that any information set forth in one section of the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection thereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face.

9.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as specifically provided in Article VIII with respect to indemnification provided to the indemnified parties, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall give, or be construed to give, any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.

9.9 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Buyer may (without obtaining any consent) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, and sell, transfer, or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, this Agreement or its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or any portion of its business or to any Affiliate of the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations to (a) any Person acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of such Party, and (b) any Person acquiring all of the assets of such Party by operation of law pursuant to a merger or consolidation; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of their obligations hereunder. Any instrument purporting to make an assignment in violation of this Section 9.9 shall be null and void.

9.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

9.11 Section, Article and Section Headings. The headings of Sections and Articles in this Agreement and Sections of the Disclosure Schedule are provided for convenience only and shall not affect their respective construction or interpretation.

9.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of laws principles.

9.13 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Party and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
