(b) Optionholder Acknowledgement. Promptly following the Closing, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Optionholder that has not previously terminated or exercised such Optionholder’s Options, an Optionholder Notice (the “Optionholder Notice”) that, among other disclosures set forth therein, notifies such Optionholders (i) of the consummation of the Mergers, (ii) that they will receive their respective portion of the Merger Consideration, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, upon their execution and delivery of the Optionholder Acknowledgement, in the form of Exhibit H (“Optionholder Acknowledgment”) and (iii) provides such other instructions as may be necessary for the execution and delivery of the Optionholder Acknowledgement in exchange for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Merger Consideration Underpayment. If the Adjusted Initial Merger Consideration exceeds the Initial Merger Consideration (such difference, a “Merger Consideration Underpayment”), then Buyer shall be required to pay the TopCo Sellers, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Adjusted Initial Merger Consideration, an amount equal to such Merger Consideration Underpayment. Such amount shall be allocated among the TopCo Sellers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 and allocated between Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration as follows: (x) 40% of such Merger Consideration Underpayment shall be paid by Buyer by the issuance of additional shares of Buyer Common Stock (which shall be valued based on the Issue Price on the Closing Date) and allocated among the TopCo Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion, and (y) the remaining portion of the Merger Consideration Underpayment payable to each TopCo Seller shall be paid by the Buyer in cash. Each TopCo Seller shall receive a stock certificate in such TopCo Seller’s name evidencing shares of such Buyer Common Stock issuable to such TopCo Seller pursuant to this Section 4.4(b)(i).

(ii) Merger Consideration Overpayment. If the Initial Merger Consideration exceeds the Adjusted Initial Merger Consideration, as a result of the adjustments to the Company Adjustable Financial Amounts (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(e) of the Company Purchase Agreement) (such difference, a “Merger Consideration Overpayment”), then Buyer shall be paid such Merger Consideration Overpayment, which shall be satisfied (x) first, from the Holdback Consideration (initially from the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Consideration until such consideration is exhausted and then from the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Consideration), and (y) second, if any to the extent the Merger Consideration Overpayment is greater than the Holdback Consideration available, from each TopCo Seller, severally, in accordance with each TopCo Seller’s Pro Rata Portion; provided, however, that if the Merger Consideration Overpayment (when aggregated with the amount of the Purchase Price Overpayment (as defined in the Company Purchase Agreement)) is any amount greater than $1,000,000, then Buyer may recover the Merger Consideration Overpayment directly from each TopCo Seller, severally, in accordance with each such TopCo Seller’s respective Pro Rata Portion, without any requirement to first recover any amounts of the Merger Consideration Overpayment from the Holdback Consideration. Any amounts directly paid to Buyer by a TopCo Seller pursuant to this Section 4.4(b)(ii) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Buyer.

4.5 Holdback. At the Closing, Buyer shall retain the Holdback Consideration from the Merger Consideration that is payable to the TopCo Sellers, which Holdback Consideration will constitute security for the satisfaction of the TopCo Sellers’ indemnity and Merger Consideration Overpayment obligations under this Agreement (the “TopCo Seller Obligations”). Buyer shall retain and shall have the right to subtract from the Holdback Consideration (initially from the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Consideration until such consideration is exhausted and then from the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Consideration) any Buyer Indemnified Losses (as defined in Section 9.1 below) for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article IX. Buyer shall pay the balance of the Holdback Consideration to the TopCo Sellers (or their respective written designee(s)) as follows:

(a) Initial Release Date. Within fifteen (15) days after the date that is one day following the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Initial Release Date”), Buyer shall release to the TopCo Sellers, in accordance with the allocations set forth in Section 3.2, the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Consideration minus (A) the amount of shares of Buyer Common Stock and cash representing any Merger Consideration Overpayments satisfied from the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Consideration (as determined by dividing the applicable amount by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), minus (B) the amount of shares, if any, of Buyer Common Stock and cash, representing the aggregate outstanding Buyer Indemnified Losses as finally determined as of the Initial Release Date, with such amount of shares being determined in accordance with Section 9.6 (with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), minus (C) any amounts described in the following sentence. To the extent that as of the Initial Release Date there are properly asserted claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification against the TopCo Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a) pending, Buyer shall deduct from the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Consideration cash and a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (determined by dividing the applicable amount by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), to cover a reasonable estimate of Buyer Indemnified Losses to be incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, as determined by Buyer in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. The TopCo Sellers hereby irrevocably authorize Buyer to submit to its transfer agent for cancellation the stock certificates representing the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares retained by Buyer in order to permit the reductions to the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares contemplated by this Section 4.5(a) and issue new stock certificates representing the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares, if any, to be issued or released to the TopCo Sellers following such reductions.

(b) Issuance of Holdback Shares. On the Initial Release Date, Buyer shall cause to be issued to the TopCo Sellers indicated in the Payment Spreadsheet a number of shares of fully paid, nonassessable Buyer Common Stock in an amount equal to (A) the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares, minus (B) the amount of shares of Buyer Common Stock representing any Merger Consideration Overpayments satisfied from the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares (as determined by dividing the applicable amount by the Issue Price as of the Initial Release Date, with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), minus (C) the amount of shares, if any, of Buyer Common Stock, representing aggregate outstanding Buyer Indemnified Losses as finally determined as of the Initial Release Date that have not been satisfied by 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares (with such amount of shares being determined in accordance with Section 9.6(a), with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount); with each applicable TopCo Seller receiving a stock certificate in such TopCo Seller’s name evidencing shares of Buyer Common Stock representing such TopCo Seller’s Holdback Shares Pro Rata Portion of the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares and which 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares shall be retained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.5(b).

(c) Second Release Date. Within fifteen (15) days after the date that is one day following the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Second Release Date”), Buyer shall release to the TopCo Sellers, in accordance with the allocations set forth in Section 3.2, the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Consideration, minus (A) the amount of shares of Buyer Common Stock and cash representing any Merger Consideration Overpayments satisfied from the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Consideration (as determined by dividing the applicable amount by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), minus (B) the amount of shares, if any, of Buyer Common Stock and cash, representing the aggregate outstanding Buyer Indemnified Losses as finally determined as of the Second Release Date that have not been satisfied by 1^st Anniversary Holdback Consideration (with such amount of shares being determined in accordance with Section 9.6(a) with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), minus (C) any amounts described in the following sentence. To the extent that as of the Second Release Date there are properly asserted claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification against the TopCo Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a) pending, Buyer shall deduct from the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Consideration cash and a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (as determined by dividing the applicable amount by the Issue Price as of the Initial Release Date with respect to the Buyer Common Stock portion of such amount), to cover a reasonable estimate of Buyer Indemnified Losses to be incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, as determined by Buyer in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. The TopCo Sellers hereby irrevocably authorize Buyer to instruct its transfer agent to cancel stock certificates representing the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares retained by Buyer in order to permit the reductions to the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares contemplated by this Section 4.5(b) and issue new stock certificates representing the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares, if any, following such reductions.

(d) Resolution of Existing Claims. If after the Initial Release Date or Second Release Date, any claims for indemnity are resolved in favor of the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the TopCo Sellers) by mutual agreement or otherwise, or if upon resolution of a claim in accordance with the provisions hereof, the amount withheld exceeds the amount ultimately determined to be properly payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, Buyer shall release to the TopCo Sellers cash and a number of fully paid, nonassessable shares of Buyer Common Stock in an amount equal to the excess amount withheld, with such amount of shares being determined by dividing such excess amount withheld by the Issue Price as of the Closing Date, with respect to the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares, or the Initial Release Date, with respect to the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares.

(e) Allocation of Holdback Consideration Among TopCo Sellers. All shares of Buyer Common Stock that are released to the TopCo Sellers on the Initial Release Date, the Second Release Date or upon resolution of existing claims shall constitute additional Merger Consideration and shall be distributed to the TopCo Sellers based on their respective Holdback Shares Pro Rata Portion. Reductions to the Holdback Consideration shall be effected in accordance with each TopCo Seller’s respective Holdback Consideration Pro Rata Portion of such TopCo Seller’s contribution to the Holdback Consideration (in cash or Buyer Common Stock, as applicable).

(f) Interest in Holdback Consideration; Voting Rights, Etc. For avoidance of doubt, the Holdback Consideration and any right, title and interest therein may not be encumbered, transferred or otherwise hypothecated by a TopCo Seller until such portion of the Holdback Consideration is released to the TopCo Seller in accordance with this Section 4.5. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, during any period in which the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares and, following the Second Release Date, the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares are subject to retention by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.5, the TopCo Sellers shall be entitled to all rights with respect to the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares and the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares, including all rights to dividends, distributions and all voting rights; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholders shall not have any rights to dividends, distributions or voting rights with respect to the 1^st Anniversary Holdback Shares or the 2^nd Anniversary Holdback Shares until they are released from the holdback to the applicable Optionholder.

4.6 Withholding. Buyer, and any other applicable withholding agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement any Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any Applicable Laws to be deducted and withheld, and, to the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and properly paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. To the extent that such amounts are not so deducted and withheld, such Person shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and any other applicable withholding agent for any such amounts imposed by a Governmental Entity, together with any related costs, expenses or damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any compensatory amounts subject to payroll reporting and withholding that are payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, including any such amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3, and including any payments of transaction or similar bonuses, shall be payable through the Surviving Corporation (or other applicable entity) in accordance with the applicable payroll procedures.

The cost and expense of such preparation and filing with respect to Buyer Prepared Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods shall be borne by the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the TopCo Sellers) and the cost and expense of such preparation and filing with respect to Buyer Prepared Tax Returns for Straddle Periods shall be equitably apportioned between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the TopCo Sellers), on the other hand, based on the number of days in such Straddle Period occurring prior to or on the Closing Date and the number of days in such Straddle Period occurring after the Closing Date. Schedule 8.1(b) sets forth a complete and correct list of the Buyer Prepared Tax Returns. All Buyer Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws. Buyer shall deliver a draft of any income or other material Buyer Prepared Tax Returns to the Sellers’ Representative for its review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable (which, in the case of income Tax Returns, shall be not less than thirty (30) days) prior to the date on which such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns are due to be filed (taking into account any applicable extensions). As soon as reasonably practicable (which, in the case of income Tax Returns, shall be within fifteen (15) days) following the Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of any such Buyer Prepared Tax Return, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify Buyer in writing with any comments to such Buyer Prepared Tax Return. To the extent such comments relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, Buyer shall consider such reasonable comments of the Sellers’ Representative with respect to such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns in good faith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be required to provide any U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return (or any combined, consolidated, unified or similar income Tax Return) required to be filed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates as the “common parent” of an “affiliated group” (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code or any similar or analogous provision of applicable income Tax law), or any portion thereof, in any form or manner whatsoever to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement, and in no event shall the Sellers’ Representative have any right to review or comment on any such Tax Return or any position taken therein.

(c) Straddle Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes of TopCo not based upon or measured by income, activities, events, gain, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items for the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period. The amount of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period that relate to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date (and for such purpose the taxable period of any partnership will be deemed to end at such time); provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be apportioned on a daily basis; provided, further, that any deductions allowed to be claimed by TopCo in respect of any TopCo Transaction Expenses shall be claimed as a deduction by TopCo for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(d) Amended Returns; Tax Elections. Except as required by Applicable Laws or as set forth on Schedule 8.1(d), Buyer will not, and will cause the Surviving Corporation not to, without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) make any amendment of any Tax Return of TopCo to the extent such Tax Return relates to or includes any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period or (ii) make any election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.

(e) Certain Tax Proceedings. In the event Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (including after the Closing the Surviving Corporation) receives written notice of any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of TopCo that would reasonably be expected to result in an Indemnified TopCo Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1(a), Buyer shall inform the Sellers’ Representative of such Tax Proceeding as soon as possible but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after such receipt. Buyer shall afford the Sellers’ Representative the opportunity to control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding relating to income Taxes (a “Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding”), with counsel of its own choosing (and at the Sellers’ Representative’s sole cost and expense (for the benefit of the TopCo Sellers)), and to settle or otherwise resolve such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding in such manner as the Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate; provided, that the Sellers’ Representative may not settle such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding without Buyer’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Sellers’ Representative shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of any material developments and events in such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding (including by promptly forwarding copies to Buyer of any related correspondence) and shall permit Buyer to participate in such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding and shall consult in good faith with Buyer in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding. Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Proceeding relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of TopCo (if such Tax Proceeding is not a Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding) and any Straddle Periods of TopCo (any such Tax Proceeding, a “Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding”); provided, that Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding or ceasing to defend such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding if such settlement or cessation would reasonably be expected to give rise to Indemnified TopCo Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1(a); and, provided further, that the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the TopCo Sellers)) if such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to give rise to an Indemnified TopCo Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1(a). Buyer shall keep the Sellers’ Representative informed of all material developments and events relating to any Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding (including promptly forwarding copies to the Sellers’ Representative of any related correspondence), and shall consult in good faith with the Sellers’ Representative or the Sellers’ Representative's counsel in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding, in each case, if such Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to give rise to an Indemnified TopCo Tax Loss for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.1(e) shall apply, rather than Section 9.2 to any Seller-Controlled Tax Proceeding or Buyer-Controlled Tax Proceeding to the extent of any conflict between such Sections.

(f) No Code Section 338 or Section 336(e) Election. Buyer shall not make, or permit to be made (including by any designee(s) of Buyer), any election under Section 338 or Section 336(e) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Cooperation and Tax Record Retention. Buyer and any designee(s) of Buyer, as applicable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to the Sellers’ Representative (at the Sellers’ Representative’s sole cost and expense for reasonable out-of-pocket third party expenses for the benefit of the Sellers’ Representative) such information as may be reasonably requested with respect to Tax matters relating to TopCo for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Periods, including by providing access to relevant books and records and making employees available to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Buyer and any designee(s) of Buyer, as applicable, shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to TopCo relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Periods until at least thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) applicable to such Taxable periods, and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(h) Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither TopCo nor any TopCo Seller is making any representation or warranty, and is not providing any other assurance, with respect to the amount of any Tax Attributes of the TopCo or the Company, or with respect to the availability after the Closing of any Tax Attributes of TopCo or the Company.

(i) Designees. Buyer shall cause any designee(s) of Buyer to meet its obligations under this Section 8.1.

8.2 Indemnification of Officers and Directors of TopCo; Insurance.

(a) General. Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to provide, fulfill and honor all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing in favor of a manager, officer, employee or other Affiliate of TopCo (including rights relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights to which such persons are entitled), as provided in the TopCo Charter Documents, in each case, as in effect prior to the Mergers (and as permitted by Applicable Law), and relating to actions or events through the Effective Time, and such rights to indemnification shall survive the Mergers and other transactions contemplated herein and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto for a period of six years following the Closing.

(b) Rights of Enforcement. The provisions of this Section 8.2 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Affiliate of TopCo, his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives and shall survive the Mergers and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Buyer and TopCo.

8.3 Further Assurances. Upon the request of Buyer, each of the other Parties hereto will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, without additional consideration (other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses) all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably requested by any other Party to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any applicable Transaction Document.

8.4 Public Announcements. TopCo and Buyer have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement to be released immediately following the Closing. Following the Closing, except as required to comply with Applicable Law, (i) no TopCo Seller or the Sellers’ Representative shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the express prior written approval of Buyer, and (ii) none of Buyer, the MergerSubs or the Surviving Corporation will issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or filing that contains specific information naming any TopCo Seller or disclosing the specific ownership or proceeds received by such TopCo Seller without the express prior written approval of the TopCo Seller so impacted.

8.5 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party will pay its own respective financial advisory, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred by it or for its benefit in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement, the compliance herewith and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.6 Attorney Communications; Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.

(a) Acknowledgement; Attorney Work Product. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP has been providing legal advice to the Company and TopCo in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that such advice constitutes attorney/client privileged communications or attorney work product (collectively, the “Attorney Work Product”). Buyer shall not knowingly review any such Attorney Work Product. Buyer hereby waives the right to present any Attorney Work Product as evidence in any lawsuit or proceeding in which any Company Seller, TopCo Seller or the Sellers’ Representative (on their behalf) is adverse to Buyer (or any Buyer Indemnified Party) in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Conflicts Waiver. Recognizing that ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP has been providing legal advice to the Company and TopCo, and that ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may act as legal counsel to certain of the Company Sellers and TopCo Sellers after the Closing, (i) TopCo hereby waives, on their own behalf and agree to cause their Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP representing the Company Sellers and/or TopCo Sellers after the Closing and (ii) TopCo hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises between or among any of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including TopCo and, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) and any Company Seller and/or TopCo Seller, each of the Parties agree that ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may represent such Company Seller and/or TopCo Seller in such dispute even though the interests of such Company Seller and/or TopCo Seller may be directly adverse to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including TopCo and, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation), and even though ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may have represented the Company and/or TopCo in a matter substantially related to such dispute, Buyer and TopCo waive, on behalf of themselves, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates, any conflict of interest in connection with such representation by ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP. Buyer acknowledges, on behalf of itself, TopCo and the Company, that each has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP. This Section 8.6 is for the benefit of ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (including their respective partners and employees), which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.6.

8.7 General Release. Effective at the Closing, each TopCo Seller, on his or her own behalf and on behalf of his or her respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns (“Releasors”), hereby and forever releases Buyer, the Company and TopCo and their past, present and future officers, agents, managers, employees, investors, stockholders, administrators, affiliates, parents, predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from, and agrees not to ▇▇▇ concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that such Releasors may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages relating to any matter involving such TopCo Seller’s relationship with TopCo occurring prior to the Closing, including the right to any payments in respect of any TopCo Capital Stock held thereby as of immediately prior to the Closing, other than the payments, in the amounts and subject to the terms, explicitly set forth in this Agreement or, to the extent applicable, the Company Purchase Agreement (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Matters described below, the “Released Matters”). Such Releasors agree that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. The foregoing notwithstanding, this release does not extend to any rights of such Releasor (a) under the explicit terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (b) for any accrued and unpaid salary and other unpaid employee benefits and reimbursements that have vested or accrued prior to the Closing, including any vacation pay or paid time off, (c) to any transaction bonuses payable pursuant to a written agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt constitute TopCo Transaction Expenses or Company Transaction Expenses, as the case may be ,hereunder), in each case owed by the Company or TopCo, (d) to any Releasor’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses (whether under the TopCo Charter Documents, insurance policy or other Contract of TopCo), (e) with respect any claims that cannot be released as a matter of law or (f) that arise after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Matters”). Each of such Releasors, having consulted with counsel, hereby agrees and acknowledges that he, she or it is aware that applicable laws in such Releasor’s state of domicile may provide that such Releasor has the right not to release existing claims of which such Releasor is not aware unless such Releasor voluntarily chooses to waive this right and that such Releasor nevertheless hereby voluntarily waives such right and elects to assume all risks for all Released Matters that now exist in his, her or its favor, known or unknown. Each TopCo Seller represents that he or she has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his or her name, or on behalf of any other Person, against Buyer, the Company or TopCo or any of the other Releasees with respect to the Released Matters, and that he or she does not intend to bring any claims on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other Person against TopCo or any of the other Releasees with respect to the Released Matters.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Buyer Indemnified Losses. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, each of the TopCo Sellers, severally agrees, based on their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Portion, to indemnify and hold harmless, the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against (x) the Applicable Percentage of any and all Buyer Indemnified Company Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party and (y) 100% of any and all Buyer Indemnified TopCo Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party (clauses (x) and (y) the “Buyer Indemnified Losses”). The Sellers’ Representative shall act on behalf of the TopCo Sellers, and the Buyer is hereby authorized to rely on determinations or communications by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the TopCo Sellers, in connection with the indemnification provided under this Section 9.1(a).

(b) Materiality Scrape. For purposes of determining the indemnification obligations under this Section 9.1, except for the Specified Instances (defined below), all references in this Agreement and the Company Purchase Agreement to the word “material,” “material respects”, “material adverse effect” and “Material Adverse Effect” (and similar materiality qualifications) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining (i) whether there has been a breach or failure of a representation or warranty for which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and (ii) the amount of any Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder. “Specified Instances” means the use of the words “material” and “all material respects” as such terms are used in Section 3.5 of the Company Purchase Agreement and Section 6.5(b) of this Agreement. It is agreed that the provisions of this Section 9.1(b) shall not change the titles of or change what otherwise constitutes a “Material Customer”, “Material Supplier” and “Material Contract”.

9.2 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) Indemnified Company Loss. In the event a Buyer Indemnified Party incurs a Buyer Indemnified Company Loss for which such Buyer Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall simultaneously seek indemnification under the Company Purchase Agreement. The provisions of Section 7.2 of the Company Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part of this Agreement.

(b) Indemnified TopCo Loss.

(i) If any third party notifies any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Action”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the TopCo Sellers under this Article IX with respect to a Buyer Indemnified Topco Loss, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the TopCo Sellers thereof in writing (the “Third-Party Claim Notice”); provided, that no failure or delay on the part of the Buyer Indemnified Party to so notify the Sellers’ Representative shall limit any of the obligations of the TopCo Sellers under Article IX, except to the extent that the TopCo Sellers have been materially prejudiced thereby. The Third-Party Claim Notice shall include a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and, if ascertainable, the amount of the claim. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to control the defense of such Third-Party Action if it notifies the Buyer Indemnified Party of its election within 30 days after it receives a Third Party Claim Notice from the Buyer Indemnified Party.

(ii) The Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the TopCo Sellers) shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of the Third-Party Action and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and shall attend such conferences, discovery proceedings and trials as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third-Party Action; provided, that it shall not be required to grant access or furnish information to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client or attorney work product privilege; and provided further, that the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative and/or their counsel shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate, so as to allow for such disclosure in a manner that does not result in the loss of attorney/client or attorney work product privilege. Each Party shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in addressing any adverse consequences that may result in the basis for an indemnifiable claim.

(iii) In the event that the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the TopCo Sellers) elects not to defend the Third-Party Action, fails to timely respond to a Third-Party Claim Notice or otherwise fails to defend the Third-Party Action in good faith, then the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Action in such manner as the Buyer Indemnified Party deems appropriate. In addition, in the event the Third-Party Action involves a Special Claim, then Buyer shall have the right to control such claim at its sole election and, if Buyer so elects, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in the defense or settlement of, such Special Claim.

(iv) If within 30 days after a Third-Party Claim Notice is delivered to the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Buyer Indemnified Party that it disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the TopCo Sellers hereunder.

(v) In the event that, within 30 days after a Third-Party Claim Notice is delivered to the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative disputes the claim for indemnification against the TopCo Sellers with respect to such Third-Party Action, the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith for 30 days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such claim. If the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement and the agreed upon dollar amount of liability for such claim of the TopCo Sellers shall be prepared and signed by (or on behalf of) the parties. If the parties do not agree, each of the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative may take such actions and assert such rights, remedies and defenses as may then be available to it under the terms of this Agreement.

(vi) In the event a Buyer Indemnified Party has the right to defend and control a Third-Party Action in accordance with Section 9.2(b)(iii) and the Buyer Indemnified Party proposes to settle or compromise such Third-Party Action, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall provide notice to that effect (together with a statement describing in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of such settlement or compromise and including a copy of the proposed settlement agreement) to the Sellers’ Representative, which notice shall be provided a reasonable time prior to the proposed time for effecting such settlement or compromise. Prior to settling or compromising any such Third-Party Action, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall obtain the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the TopCo Sellers), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Buyer Indemnified Party effects any such settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Action with the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, the amount payable pursuant to such settlement or compromise plus any additional related indemnifiable Losses, if any, specified in such consent shall, be payable by or on behalf of the TopCo Sellers, subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in this Article IX. If a Buyer Indemnified Party effects any such settlement or compromise without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative be, and such consent has not been unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, then the dollar amount of the settlement or compromise shall not be dispositive of the dollar amount of the TopCo Sellers’ obligations with respect to such Third-Party Action.

9.3 Direct Claims.

(a) Indemnified Company Loss. The provisions of Section 7.3 of the Company Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part of this Agreement.

(b) Indemnified TopCo Loss. In any case in which a Buyer Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder with respect to a Buyer Indemnified TopCo Loss which is not subject to Section 9.2, the Buyer Indemnified Party will notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing of any Losses which such Buyer Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Such notification must state in reasonable detail, to the extent such information is reasonably available, the nature, amount and circumstances of such claim, and be accompanied by any other documentation or information reasonably required by the Sellers’ Representative to evaluate the claim. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, if the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Buyer Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notification that the Sellers’ Representative disputes all or any portion of such claim, the amount of such undisputed claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the TopCo Sellers hereunder (subject to the limitations on liability set forth in Section 9.5 hereof). In case an objection is made in writing by the Sellers’ Representative within such thirty (30)-day period, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection. If the Buyer Indemnified Party so responds, or the time to respond has expired, and there remains a dispute as to any claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each such claim. If the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative do not agree within such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative may take such actions and assert such rights, remedies and defenses as may then be available to it under the terms of this Agreement.

9.4 No Circular Recovery. The Sellers’ Representative hereby agrees that it will not, and no TopCo Seller shall, make any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses against Buyer by reason of the fact that such TopCo Seller was a controlling person, director, officer, member, stockholder, unit holder employee, agent or representative of TopCo (whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, TopCo Charter Document, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this Agreement.

9.5 Limits on Liability.

(a) Termination of Indemnification Obligations of the TopCo Sellers. The obligation of the TopCo Sellers to indemnify under Section 9.1(a) for Indemnified Company Representation Losses and Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses shall terminate on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except (x) as to matters as to which the Buyer Indemnified Party has made a good faith claim for indemnification under Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof on or prior to such date and (y) with respect to any claim for (i) Indemnified Company Representation Losses pertaining to a misrepresentation or a breach of a Company Fundamental Representation and (ii) Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses pertaining to a misrepresentation or a breach of a TopCo Fundamental Representation. The obligation to indemnify referred to in:

(i) the preceding clause (x) shall survive the expiration of such period until such claim for indemnification is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied; and

(ii) the preceding clause (y) shall terminate sixty (60) days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof), except as to matters as to which any Buyer Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification on or prior to such date, in which case the right to indemnification with respect thereto shall survive the expiration of any such period until such claim for indemnification is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied.

For avoidance of doubt, all covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) Minimum Claim Amount; Indemnity Threshold. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for any Indemnified Company Representation Losses or Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses as to any individual indemnification claim with respect to such Losses if the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any such claim does not exceed $10,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”). For purposes of illustration and not limitation, in determining whether the Minimum Claim Amount has been met, an individual Loss occurring or arising out of a fact pattern shall be aggregated with all other individual Losses arising out of identical or substantially similar fact patterns. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified for any Indemnified Company Representation Losses or Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of all Indemnified Company Representation Losses and Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses exceed $187,500 (the “Threshold”); provided, however, that after the Threshold has been met, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Indemnified Company Representation Losses and Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses including the amount of the Threshold. The Parties agree that the limitations set forth in this Section 9.5(b) shall not apply to any breach of a Company Fundamental Representation or TopCo Fundamental Representation or Indemnified Company Representation Losses or Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses that arise as a result of Fraud.

(c) Maximum Liability. Except in the case of Fraud, the maximum aggregate liability of the TopCo Sellers under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to 100% of the total Merger Consideration paid or payable by Buyer to the TopCo Sellers pursuant to Section 4.3 and each TopCo Seller’s individual liability for such claims shall not exceed such TopCo Seller’s Individual Merger Consideration.

(d) Exclusive Remedy for Representation Losses is the Holdback Consideration. Buyer agrees that the Holdback Consideration has been withheld and held back by Buyer to support the payment of indemnification claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder following the Closing. Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties, acknowledges and agrees that except with respect to Fraud and breaches by the Company of the Company Fundamental Representations or breaches by TopCo of the TopCo Fundamental Representations, recovery from the Holdback Consideration shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for Indemnified Company Representation Losses and Indemnified TopCo Representation Losses hereunder. Except with respect to Fraud and breaches by the Company of the Company Fundamental Representations or beaches by TopCo of the TopCo Fundamental Representations, any deduction made from the Holdback Consideration in respect of an Indemnified Company Representation Loss or an Indemnifided TopCo Representation Loss incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX shall constitute full satisfaction of any obligation of each applicable TopCo Seller to make such payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party.

(e) Clarification of Term “Losses”. Except in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the TopCo Sellers be liable to a Buyer Indemnified Party for any punitive, exemplary or special damages unless such damages were actually assessed against the Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a Third-Party Action. In addition, the term “Losses” as used in this Agreement shall only include consequential damages, damages for lost profits or any similar measure of damages if (i) the Buyer Indemnified Party seeking such damages is able to prove all elements necessary for recovery of such damages under Delaware law, or (ii) if such damages were actually assessed against the Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with a Third-Party Action.

(f) Insurance Proceeds. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by a Buyer Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss, less such Buyer Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket costs of obtaining or receiving such recovery, including any deductible paid in obtaining such proceeds and increased costs of insurance related to the making of such claim, including retrospective premium adjustments and experienced based premium adjustments. In the event that an insurance recovery is made by any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which such Person has been indemnified hereunder and has received funds in the amount of the Losses or portion thereof, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the insurance recovery (less such Buyer Indemnified Party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of receiving such recovery, including any deductible paid in obtaining such proceeds and increased costs of insurance related to the making of such claim), but in no event in excess of the amount of such indemnification payment, shall be made promptly to the TopCo Sellers (in accordance with their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Portion). In addition, in the event Buyer obtains actual knowledge that a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to recovery under the E&O Tail Policy and/or the D&O Tail Policy (in each case, as defined under the Company Purchase Agreement), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit to the relevant insurance provider a corresponding claim for recovery.

(g) Duplication of Recovery. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to indemnification hereunder for any amount that was already included in the Company Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Company Closing Net Debt Amount, the Purchase Price Overpayment (each as defined in the Company Purchase Agreement) amounts paid in accordance with the Company Purchase Agreement or the Merger Consideration Overpayment amounts paid in accordance with this Agreement.

9.6 Procedures for Claims; Payment of Holdback Consideration.

10.6 Provisions Concerning the Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. At the Closing, and without further act of TopCo or any of the TopCo Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for each of the TopCo Sellers, for and on behalf of the TopCo Sellers, to give and receive notices and communications and to take any and all action on behalf of the TopCo Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreements, the Option Cancellation Agreements, Section 6.6 of the Company Purchase Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as specified herein, except for matters involving a TopCo Seller’s individual indemnification obligations to a Buyer Indemnified Party set forth in the Stockholder Support Agreements and the Option Cancellation Agreements. Any vacancy in the position of the Sellers’ Representative may be filled by approval of the TopCo Sellers entitled to receive at least a majority of the Merger Consideration Amount to be issued and paid pursuant to the TopCo Sellers at the Closing. No bond will be required of the Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers’ Representative will not receive compensation for its, his or her services; provided, that the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to reimbursement of expenses pursuant to Section 10.6(b). Notices or communications to or from the Sellers’ Representative will constitute notice to or from each of the TopCo Sellers. Each TopCo Seller, by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, has (i) agreed that all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement shall be binding upon such TopCo Seller and such TopCo Seller’s successors, heirs and permitted assigns as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such TopCo Seller, (ii) waived any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Sellers’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, and (iii) granted the Sellers’ Representative full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof, and to take all actions otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, in each case on behalf of such TopCo Seller and his or her successors, heirs and permitted assigns. The Sellers’ Representative acknowledges that it has carefully read and understands this Agreement and hereby accepts the appointment and designation made hereunder.

(b) Actions of the Sellers’ Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative (acting in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative as authorized under Section 10.6(a)) will constitute a decision of all of the TopCo Sellers and will be final, conclusive and binding upon each of the TopCo Sellers, and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each of the TopCo Sellers; provided, however, that any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative in respect of an individual TopCo Seller’s breach (or asserted breach) of any representation, warranty or covenant of such TopCo Seller herein shall not be effective against such TopCo Seller without the prior written consent of such TopCo Seller. Buyer is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by Buyer in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any TopCo Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice or that it otherwise reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate under the Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative is serving in its capacity as such solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of any TopCo Seller hereunder, and Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by any of the TopCo Sellers hereunder.

(c) Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund. The TopCo Sellers Representative Expense Fund Amount will be used solely to pay costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative for the benefit of the TopCo Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and the Company Purchase Agreement on or after the Closing Date, and will be paid or distributed at the direction of the Sellers’ Representative (the “Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund”). The Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund will be held by the Sellers’ Representative as agent and for the benefit of the TopCo Sellers in a segregated client account. The Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the TopCo Sellers) will hold these funds in trust. Promptly following the Second Release Date, the Sellers’ Representative will distribute the then-remaining balance of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund (if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the TopCo Sellers, based on their respective Pro Rata Portion. For Tax purposes, the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the TopCo Sellers at the time of Closing. Promptly following the appointment of a successor Representative pursuant to Section 10.6(a), the Sellers’ Representative will transfer the then-remaining balance of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund, if any, to the successor Sellers’ Representative.

(d) Reimbursement of Certain Expenses. In the event that any amount is owed by the Sellers’ Representative in respect of any actions it has taken hereunder, whether for fees, expense reimbursement or otherwise, that is in excess of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund (or after any or all of the Sellers’ Representative Expense Fund has been disbursed to the TopCo Sellers), the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to be reimbursed by the TopCo Sellers, severally and not jointly, for the shortfall in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion. Each TopCo Seller hereby severally and not jointly, indemnifies the Sellers’ Representative for such TopCo Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of any costs, fees and expenses incurred by Sellers’ Representative in excess of the TopCo Sellers Representative Expense Fund Amount arising out of its serving as the Sellers’ Representative hereunder.

10.7 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each Party intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable laws.

10.8 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY MATTER OR DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE LAWS OR RULES OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE RELATING TO CONFLICT OF LAWS.

10.9 Resolution of Disputes.

(a) No Party to this Agreement shall institute a proceeding in any court or administrative agency to resolve a dispute between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement before that party has sought to resolve the dispute through direct negotiation in good faith with the other party.

(b) If the dispute is not resolved within three (3) weeks after a demand for direct negotiation, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute through nonbinding mediation in New Castle County, Delaware, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its commercial mediation rules and procedures then in effect. If the mediator is unable to facilitate a settlement of the dispute within a reasonable period of time (but no more than three (3) weeks), any Party may then seek relief as provided in Section 10.9(c).

(c) Subject to Section 10.9(b), any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be instituted in any state or federal court in New Castle County, Delaware, and each Party waives any objection which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or proceeding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including this Section 10.9, each Party shall have the right to at any time apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief.

10.10 Certain Matters of Construction.

(a) The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Section and subsection headings are not to be considered part of this Agreement, are included solely for convenience, are not intended to be full or accurate descriptions of the content of the Sections or subsections of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction hereof.

(c) Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary herein, (i) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or subsection of this Agreement and reference to a particular Section of this Agreement shall include all subsections thereof, (ii) references to a Section, Exhibit, Annex or Schedule means a Section of, or Exhibit, Annex or Schedule to this Agreement, unless another agreement is specified, (iii) definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined, and references to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include each other gender, (iv) the word “including” means including without limitation, (v) any reference to “$” or “dollars” means United States dollars and (vi) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor statute, rule or regulation, in each case as amended or otherwise modified from time to time.

(d) Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, when used herein “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall mean “and/or”).

(e) Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OF IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRAIL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

10.12 Specific Enforcement. Each of the Parties agrees that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that it does not fully and timely perform its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Closing) in accordance with its terms. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages and without posting a bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such other Parties are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right to obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law.

10.13 Limitation on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, no claim arising in whole or in part out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, interpretation, construction, validity or enforcement of this Agreement (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) shall be brought or maintained by or on behalf of any Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any Person not a Party. Without limitation of the foregoing, no claim described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be brought or maintained against any past, present or future officer, director, employee, agent, direct or indirect general or limited partner, manager, management company, direct or indirect member, stockholder, equityholder, or controlling Person, representative or Affiliate, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing, of Buyer, TopCo, the Surviving Corporation, the TopCo Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”), and no recourse shall be had against any of them in respect of any such claim, including in connection with any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of or omission in any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

10.14 Attorney’s Fees. If any action is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party, which fees may be set by the court in the trial of such action, or may be enforced in a separate action brought for that purpose, and which fees shall be in addition to any other relief which may be awarded.
