B. The Members own 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Seller.

C. Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, all of the assets of Seller that are used in or held for use in or are related to the operation of the Business by Seller, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

D. The Parties intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code.

Agreement

In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS; ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES; Employee matters

Section 1.1 Purchased Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all of the tangible and intangible assets of Seller used or held for use in the Business, other than the Excluded Assets, including the assets of Seller set forth on Schedule 1.1 (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), free and clear of all Encumbrances.

Section 1.2 Excluded Assets. The Purchased Assets will not include any assets set forth on Schedule 1.2 (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).

Section 1.3 Assumed Liabilities; Excluded Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser will assume the Liabilities of Seller specifically identified on Schedule 1.3 (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser will not assume any Liabilities that are not expressly included in the Assumed Liabilities (collectively the “Excluded Liabilities”), including: (a) any Liability of Seller (including any Indebtedness of Seller); (b) any Liability of any successor or Affiliate of Seller; (c) any Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly related to, accruing or arising out of, caused by or resulting from the operation or conduct of the Business or the ownership of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, whether or not recorded on the books and records of any Person (including any Accounts Payable payable to third parties that remain outstanding as of the Closing); (d) any Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates arising under or in any way related to the Employee Benefit Plans; (e) any Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates that would become a Liability of Purchaser as a matter of Law in connection with this Agreement, any Related Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (f) without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, any Liability in respect of Taxes of Seller (or any successor or Affiliate), or any Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates in respect of any Taxes arising from or relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets or ownership or operation thereof for or accruing or arising at any time in respect of any period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing; and (g) any Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly related to, accruing or arising out of, caused by or resulting from the operation or ownership of the Excluded Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that unless a Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates is expressly within the definition of Assumed Liabilities under this Section 1.3, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will assume, nor will any of them be liable for, such Liability.

Section 1.4 Electronic Transfer of Certain Assets. The Parties agree that, at the request of Purchaser, any of the Purchased Assets that can be transmitted to Purchaser electronically will be so delivered to Purchaser promptly following the Closing in a secure format and manner mutually agreeable to the Parties and will not be delivered to Purchaser on any tangible medium. After Closing, Seller will not directly or indirectly use any copies of such Purchased Assets under its custody or control except for (a) the purpose of verifying delivery of or re-delivering such Purchased Assets to Purchaser or (b) complying with an express provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement. Upon the written request of Purchaser following the Closing, Seller will return or destroy any such copies of the Purchased Assets using commercially reasonable means but, in any event, will not thereafter directly or indirectly permit or perform any recovery or restoration thereof, whether through forensics, archives, undeletion, or otherwise.

Section 1.5 Inability to Assign Assigned Contracts.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, to the extent that the assignment or attempted assignment to Purchaser of any Contract or Permit that is included among the Purchased Assets, including any Inbound License relating to Software included in the Purchased Assets (each, an “Assigned Contract”), or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is prohibited by any Law, or would require any consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation by any Person, and such consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation has not been obtained or made prior to the Closing in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, or with respect to which any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially and adversely affect the rights of Seller or Purchaser thereunder, then neither this Agreement nor any Related Agreement will constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof, and the same will not be assigned at the Closing.

(b) Both prior and subsequent to the Closing, Seller will use reasonable efforts and cooperate with Purchaser to obtain promptly all consents, waivers, authorizations or novations and to timely give all notices required with respect to the Assigned Contracts, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Except as provided in Section 9.11, Seller will bear and pay the cost of all filing, recordation and similar fees and Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the assignment of the Assigned Contracts and any additional fees or charges (howsoever denominated) required by any Person in connection with the assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts or any related consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice.

(c) If any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice that is required for the effective assignment to Purchaser of any Assigned Contract cannot be obtained or made and, as a result, the material benefits of such Assigned Contract cannot be provided to Purchaser following the Closing as otherwise required in accordance with this Agreement, then Seller will use reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with the same economic benefits (taking into account all burdens and benefits, including Tax costs and benefits) and operational benefits of any such Assigned Contract, and to permit Purchaser to perform Seller’s obligations and enforce Seller’s rights under such Assigned Contract as if such Assigned Contract had been assigned to Purchaser (and as if Seller had obtained or made such consent, waiver, authorization, novation, or notice as the case may be), including (i) enforcing, at Purchaser’s request, any rights of Seller arising with respect thereto, including the right to terminate such Assigned Contract upon the request of Purchaser, and (ii) permitting Purchaser to enforce any rights arising with respect thereto. Seller will pay to Purchaser, when received, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller from third parties to the extent related to Purchaser’s intended rights under any Assigned Contract, as contemplated by this Agreement, including this Section 1.5(c). Once any such consent, waiver, authorization or novation is obtained or notice is properly made in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Seller will assign such Assigned Contract to Purchaser at no additional cost to Purchaser. Any expenses incurred by Seller, and any reasonable expenses incurred by Purchaser, in connection with the arrangements contemplated by this Section 1.5(c) will be borne by Seller.

(d) For purposes of this Section 1.5, it will be reasonable for Purchaser not to accept the form and substance of any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice if it: (i) changes or modifies, in any material respect, any Assigned Contract; (ii) results in any cost to Purchaser; or (iii) makes any representations concerning, or attempts to impose any conditions on, Purchaser (other than the obligation to pay or perform the obligations expressly set forth in such Assigned Contract to the extent such obligations constitute Assumed Liabilities).

Section 1.6 Employee and Independent Contractor Matters.

(a) Seller agrees to use its reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in its efforts to employ any employees of Seller and engage any independent contractors of Seller. Any employees of Seller who accept an offer of employment with Purchaser, execute all documents required by Purchaser to be executed in connection therewith and begin employment with Purchaser are referred to herein collectively as the “Hired Employees.”

(b) Purchaser will have no obligation to offer employment to, and will have no Liability to, any employee of Seller, including any employee who, on the Closing Date, is not actively employed by Seller or is on job-protected leave, military service leave or layoff (whether or not with recall rights), or whose employment has been terminated (voluntarily or involuntarily) or who has retired prior to the Closing Date. Seller will bear all responsibility for, and related costs associated with the termination of its employees, including complying with the federal Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) and similar Laws. Seller will not provide any notice to employees pursuant to WARN or similar Laws without prior approval by Purchaser.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller will terminate, effective no later than as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all employees and independent contractors of Seller who have not been made any offer of employment or engagement with Purchaser or declined employment or engagement with Purchaser. Simultaneously with such termination, Seller will pay each such terminated employee and each such terminated independent contractors all accrued wages, salaries, and fees, accrued vacation, accrued sick and personal time, if any, and all other amounts due from Seller to such employees and independent contractors, and termination or severance pay in accordance with any contract or Law.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby will confer upon any Hired Employee or any other present or former employee of Seller any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, including any right to employment or continued employment or to any compensation or benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of Purchaser, nor will anything contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby constitute a limitation on or restriction against the right of Purchaser to amend, modify or terminate any such plan, policy or arrangement or compensation, benefits or other terms or conditions of employment.

(e) Seller will be liable for all Liabilities of Seller with respect to the employees and independent contractors of Seller (including all Hired Employees) arising or accruing on or prior to the Closing Date and including any employment and payroll Taxes imposed with respect to any payments of compensation to employees and independent contractors arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of whether arising on or before the Closing, and Purchaser will be and become liable for all employment-related Liabilities of the Hired Employees and all Liabilities with respect to independent contractors, in each case, first arising after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE II.
PURCHASE PRICE AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 2.1 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) will consist of the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities as set forth in Section 1.3 and the payment, in the form set forth herein, by Purchaser to Seller or such other Persons as set forth herein, of an amount equal to (i) $6,800,000.00, minus (iv) the Closing Operating Cash Amount.

(b) Interest will not accrue on, and no interest will be payable in respect of, any amount payable pursuant to this Article II.

Section 2.2 Payment of Purchase Price; Payment of Seller Closing Debt, Unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses.

Purchaser may submit any objections in writing to Seller until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date and Seller and Purchaser will cooperate in good faith with one another to revise the Closing Purchase Price to reflect the mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser. Seller will make its financial records reasonably available to Purchaser and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times during the review by Purchaser of the calculation of the Closing Purchase Price.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, at the Closing, Parent will pay or cause to be paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by Seller at least three (3) Business Days prior to such date an amount (the “Closing Cash”) equal to (i) the Closing Consideration, minus (ii) an amount equal to (A) the number of shares of the Closing Stock Payment multiplied by (B) the Per Parent Share Price.

(c) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, at the Closing, Parent will issue to the Members, according to the Member Percentages and as a distribution on behalf of Seller, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to (i) (A) eighty percent (80%) multiplied by (B) the Closing Consideration divided by (ii) the Per Parent Share Price (the “Closing Stock Payment”).

(d) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Holdback Release Date, Parent will pay or cause to be paid to the Members, according to the Member Percentages and as a distribution on behalf of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by the Members at least three (3) Business Days prior to such date an amount equal to (i) the amount (the “Holdback Cash”) that results from (A) the Holdback Consideration, minus (B) the amount that results from multiplying the number of Holdback Shares by the Per Parent Share Price, minus (ii) the amount, if any, of Holdback Cash which was used to satisfy any obligations pursuant to Article VII. Any amount of Holdback Cash that is the subject of a dispute on the Holdback Release Date will continue to be Holdback Cash and will not be released to Seller until such dispute is finally resolved, as set forth in Section 7.1(c).

(e) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, at the Closing, Parent will issue to the Members, according to the Member Percentages and as a distribution on behalf of Seller, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to (i) (A) eighty percent (80%) multiplied by (B) the Holdback Consideration divided by (ii) the Per Parent Share Price (the “Holdback Shares”, and, together with the Closing Stock Payment, the “Stock Consideration”). Within ten (10) Business Days following the Holdback Release Date, Parent will release to the Members the certificates representing the Holdback Shares that were not cancelled by Parent to satisfy any obligations pursuant to Article VII.

(g) Each issuance of Parent Common Stock to the Members pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed to be an issuance of such Parent Common Stock to Seller, immediately followed by Seller’s distribution of such Parent Common Stock to the Members pursuant to Section 368(a)(2)(G)(i) of the Code.

Section 2.3 Tax Withholding. Purchaser will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any other Tax Law, or such amounts as Purchaser reasonably determines should be withheld in order to comply with any applicable remittance requirements, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller or such other Person in respect of whom such withholding was made.

Section 5.5 Notice of Developments.

(a) Seller and the Members will give prompt written notice to Purchaser of any event, occurrence or development causing, or allegation by a third party which, if true, would cause, or which would reasonably be expected to cause, (a) a breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 or 4.2, (b) any breach or nonperformance of or noncompliance with any covenant or agreement of Seller or the Members in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, (c) the failure of any condition set forth in Section 3.2, (d) any material damage to or loss or destruction of any properties or assets owned or leased by Seller (whether or not insured) or (e) the occurrence or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened occurrence of any event or condition which resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

Parent may, within ten (10) Business Days after it receives a Schedule Supplement, (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) accept the Schedule Supplement and take no further action. If Parent accepts the Schedule Supplement or, if Parent does not terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Schedule Supplement, then (A) the Schedule Supplement will be deemed to modify the applicable representation or warranty to which it relates; (B) the Schedule Supplement will be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement to which the Schedule Supplement relates for, and only for, purposes of Seller’s and the Members’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct) and determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(a) have been satisfied; and (C) Parent will be deemed to have irrevocably waived (and will not have) any right to terminate this Agreement or right to indemnification, under Section 8.1 with respect to the matter disclosed in the Schedule Supplement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s and the Members’ indemnification obligations other than those pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) that may be modified pursuant to this Section 5.5(b), including indemnification obligations with respect to Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, will not be modified in any way by any Schedule Supplement.

Section 5.6 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing, neither Seller nor any Member will, and each will cause each of such Person’s respective officers, employees, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives, agents and Affiliates not to, (a) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action to facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any acquisition or purchase of a substantial portion of the assets, equity interests or other securities of Seller or any tender offer or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of substantially all assets, sale of securities, re-capitalization, spin-off, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Seller, or any other transaction, the consummation of which would or could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement (any of the foregoing, an “Alternate Transaction Proposal”) or agree to or endorse any Alternate Transaction Proposal or (b) propose, enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Alternate Transaction Proposal, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to the business or assets of Seller in connection with an Alternate Transaction Proposal, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Seller will, and the Members will cause Seller to, promptly notify Purchaser in the event that Seller, any Member or any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, securityholders, advisors, representatives and agents receives any unsolicited indication of interest or proposal regarding an Alternate Transaction Proposal, including the identity of the Person indicating such interest or making such Alternate Transaction Proposal and a copy thereof.

Section 5.7 Termination of Certain Agreements. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.7 are hereby terminated and of no further force or effect in all respects.

Section 5.8 Confidential Information. The Parties will maintain the confidentiality of this transaction and the information and materials relating to this transaction, including, without limitation, all information attained by any Party’s due diligence efforts and each of the Parties will keep confidential all information, documents and materials relating to the Business which remain in his, her or its possession; provided that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.8 will terminate upon the Closing with respect to Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates. The provisions of this Section 5.8 will not apply to any such information, documents or material that (a) is known generally to the public other than by reason of a breach of this Section 5.8, (b) was known to a party prior to the date first written above without an obligation of confidentiality, or (c) that any party is required to disclose under applicable legal requirement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or alleged breach the provisions of this Section 5.8, monetary damages will not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or alleged breach, the non-breaching party, its Affiliates, and their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, or any other equitable remedies available to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

ARTICLE VI.
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 6.1 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or reasonably required to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including with respect to any Tax matters as provided in Section 6.4), each Party will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the requesting Party’s cost and expense (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VII). From and after the Closing, Purchaser will be entitled to possession of all of the following to the extent that they are not Excluded Assets: documents, minute books, ownership ledgers, books, records (including Tax records), Contracts and financial data of any sort relating to the Business.

Section 6.2 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller and the Members will, and will instruct their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives and agents to, (a) treat and hold as confidential and proprietary all information concerning the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Business, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including Parent) and the business and affairs of Purchaser and Parent that is not generally available to the public as of the Closing (provided that any information generally available to the public as a result of Seller’s or any Member’s breach of this Section 6.2(a) or the Confidentiality Agreement will not be deemed to be generally available to the public hereunder) (collectively, the “Purchaser Confidential Information”), (b) refrain from using any Purchaser Confidential Information except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and (c) promptly deliver to Purchaser or destroy, at the election of Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of any Purchaser Confidential Information that are in the possession or under the reasonable control of Seller, any Member or any of their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives or agents. In the event that Seller or any Member (or any of their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, advisors, representatives and agents) is requested or required (pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any Legal Proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Purchaser Confidential Information, such Person will promptly notify Purchaser of the request or requirement so that Purchaser or Parent may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.2(a). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller or any Member (or such other Person) is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Purchaser Confidential Information to any tribunal, Seller or any Member (or such other Person), as applicable, may disclose that portion of Purchaser Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed to the tribunal; provided however that the disclosing Person will use such Person’s reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request and sole cost and expense of Purchaser or Parent, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of Purchaser Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser or Parent will designate. The existence and terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements will be deemed Purchaser Confidential Information. Nothing in this Section 6.2(a) will limit the ability of Seller or any Member to use Purchaser Confidential Information in the course of exercising or satisfying any of their rights, remedies, or obligations under this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

(b) As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller and each Member agrees that, from the Closing Date through the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Restricted Period”), Seller and each Member will not, and will cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an owner, officer, director, manager, employee, partner, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, become employed by, or in any other manner engage in the Business (other than as an owner, officer, director, manager, employee, partner, agent, or representative or Purchaser, Parent, or any of their Affiliates) or any business that competes directly with the Business within the State of Colorado. Nothing herein will prohibit any such Person from being a passive owner of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as Seller or such Member has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

(c) As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from the Closing Date through the two (2)-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Solicit Restricted Period”), Seller and each Member (i) will not, and will cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any Person employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates (or any successor to the Business); provided however that this Section 6.2(c) will not prohibit any such Person from (A) conducting any general solicitations in a newspaper, trade publication or other periodical or web posting not specifically targeted at any Person employed by Purchaser or its Affiliates (or any successor to the Business), or (B) participating in job fairs, career fairs or similar recruiting events; and (ii) will not induce or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the Business into any business relationship that might materially harm Purchaser or its Affiliates or the Business.

(d) As a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, from and after the Closing, Seller and each Member will not, and will cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly denigrate or disparage Purchaser or its Affiliates and their respective equityholders, managers, directors, officers, employees, independent contracts or representatives or the Business. Nothing in this Section will prevent or limit Seller or any Member from making factually correct statements or enforcing any of their respective rights or remedies under this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

(e) Seller and each Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or alleged breach by such Person of any of the provisions of this Section 6.2, monetary damages will not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or alleged breach, Purchaser, its Affiliates and their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, or any other equitable remedies available to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the extension of the Non-Compete Restricted Period or Non-Solicit Restricted Period, as applicable, by a period equal to (A) the length of the violation of this Section 6.2 plus (B) the length of any court proceedings necessary to stop such violation), in each case, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages.

Section 6.3 Customer and Supplier Inquiries; Accounts Receivable. From and after the Closing, Seller will refer to Purchaser all customer, supplier, employee or other inquiries or correspondence relating to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the conduct or operations of the Business after the Closing. Seller will promptly remit to Purchaser all payments and invoices received after the Closing that relate to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or, other than with respect to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, the conduct or operations of the Business. Purchaser will have the right and authority to collect for its own account all Accounts Receivable and other items that are included in the Purchased Assets and to endorse with the name of Seller any checks or drafts received with respect to any such Accounts Receivable or other items.

Section 6.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Purchaser and Seller will each timely prepare and file such Tax Returns as may be, respectively, required of them in connection with all excise, sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with or as a result of the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities hereunder (“Transfer Taxes”) in accordance with the form of the transaction contemplated hereunder or as may otherwise be required by any Governmental Authority; provided however that the cost of all such Transfer Taxes will be borne by Seller.

(b) Any property or similar ad valorem Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets that are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date will be pro-rated, and such Taxes will be allocated between Seller and Purchaser based upon the total amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, with Seller responsible for those allocable to the period prior to and ending on the Closing Date and Purchaser responsible for those allocable to the period on or after the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with one another with respect to the payment of any such Taxes and the filings of reports or returns with respect thereto.

(c) Seller will transfer to Purchaser any records relating to withholding and payment of income and unemployment Taxes (federal, state and local) and FICA and FUTA Taxes and any and all state unemployment payment reserves and/or charge history with respect to wages paid to Hired Employees for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (including Forms W-4 and Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificates). Purchaser and Seller will adopt the “standard procedure” for preparing and filing Forms W-2, as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Seller will provide to Purchaser records relating to FICA and FUTA Taxes for the year of the Closing so that Purchaser may apply the “successor employer” rule with respect thereto.

(d) Seller and Purchaser will provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other action in respect of Taxes. Any information obtained under this Section 6.4(d) will be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other action in respect of Taxes.

(e) The Parties intend for federal income tax purposes that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code, and hereby adopt this Agreement as the “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the Treasury Regulations. Purchaser makes no representations or warranties to Seller or to any Member regarding the Tax treatment of the purchase of assets under this Agreement, or any of the Tax consequences to Seller or any Member of this Agreement, the purchase of assets under this Agreement, or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated by this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that Seller and the Members are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the purchase of assets under this Agreement, and the other transactions and agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Name Change. Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller will (a) cause its name to be changed to a name that does not include any Restricted Words and (b) deliver to Purchaser a true, complete and correct copy of the filings with the applicable Governmental Authorities showing that each such name change has occurred.

Section 6.6 COBRA. At all times before and after the Closing, Seller and the selling group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A-3(a)) of which it is a part (the “Selling Group”) will cooperate with Purchaser as necessary (and will promptly provide such information as is necessary or as is reasonably requested by Purchaser) to enable Purchaser to provide continuation coverage under COBRA to the M&A Qualified Beneficiaries, to the extent Purchaser determines it or any of its Affiliates is required by COBRA to do so. By way of example, and not limitation, Seller and each member of the Selling Group will provide Purchaser with the information listed in Section 4.1(m)(ix) of the Disclosure Schedule for each M&A Qualified Beneficiary not identified on Section 4.1(m)(ix) of the Disclosure Schedule as far in advance of the occurrence of such M&A Qualified Beneficiary’s qualifying event as possible and, in any event, no later than the day after the occurrence of such qualifying event, and Seller or another member of the Selling Group will promptly notify Purchaser if Seller and the members of the Selling Group terminate all of their group health plans. If Purchaser determines that it or any of its Affiliates is obligated to provide continuation coverage under COBRA to the M&A Qualified Beneficiaries, Seller will reimburse Purchaser and its Affiliates for any and all costs, expenses and Liabilities that Purchaser and its Affiliates incur in providing such coverage to the M&A Qualified Beneficiaries, which, for the avoidance of doubt, will constitute Excluded Liabilities under this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Release of Claims. Effective as of the Closing, except with respect to (a) any claim to enforce the terms of or any breach of this Agreement or any Related Agreement (including the right to receive payment under this Agreement) and (b) if (and only if) Member is an officer, member or director of Seller, any rights, if any, with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (collectively, the “Unreleased Claims”), (i) each Member, on behalf of such Member and such Member’s predecessors, successors, assigns, next-of-kin, representatives, administrators, executors, trusts, agents, and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing and (ii) Seller, on behalf of Seller and Seller’s predecessors, successors, assigns, next-of-kin, representatives, administrators, executors, trusts, agents and any other Person claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasors”), unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and forever discharges Purchaser and Parent and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, directors, equityholders, financing sources, advisors, consultants and representatives and any predecessors, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (each, a “Released Person”), from any past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, Liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, whether unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed, related to any matters, causes, conditions, acts, conduct, claims, circumstances or events arising out of or related to the Business (collectively, the “Released Liabilities”), and none of any Member, Seller or any other Releasor will seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from any Released Person. Each Member and Seller represents on such Member’s or Seller’s own behalf and on behalf of its Releasors that none of such Releasors has asserted any claim against any Released Person for indemnification or otherwise and that none of such Releasors is aware of any claim by any of such Releasors (nor of any fact, circumstance or event that forms or would form the basis for any such claim) other than Unreleased Claims or claims that are waived, released and forever discharged under this Section 6.7. Each Member and Seller is aware that such Member or Seller, as applicable, and any of its Releasors may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that such Member or Seller or any of its Releasors now know or believe to be true with respect to the matters released herein, but that, except for the Unreleased Claims, it is the intention of such Member, Seller and their respective Releasors to fully and finally release all Released Liabilities and Liabilities of any nature related thereto that do exist, may exist or heretofore have existed. Each Member and Seller irrevocably covenants, and irrevocably covenants to cause its Releasors, to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Legal Proceeding of any kind against any Released Person, based upon any matter released under this Section 6.7 (which expressly exclude the Unreleased Claims). Each Member and Seller represents and warrants on such Member’s or Seller’s, as applicable, own behalf and on behalf of its respective Releasors to the Released Persons that none of any such Member, Seller, or any of their respective Releasors has assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any Person all or any portion of, or any interest in any Released Liability or any Legal Proceeding or Liability that is or that purports to be released or discharged under this Section 6.7. Without in any way limiting any of the rights and remedies otherwise available to any Released Person, each Member and Seller on such Member’s or Seller’s, as applicable, own behalf and on behalf of its respective Releasors, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Released Person from and against all Liabilities, whether or not involving Third-Party Claims, directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, arising out of, resulting from, attributable to, or in any way incidental to the occurrence of the assertion by or on such Member’s or Seller’s own behalf or on behalf of any of its respective Releasors of any claim or other matter purported to be released under this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8 Preservation and Transition of Product. Seller and each Member will, until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the Closing, use its reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve all products associated with the Business in a good and saleable condition, including being non-expired and free from mildew, fungus, rot, spoilage and agricultural neglect. Sellers will use reasonable efforts to maintain at least substantially similar levels of inventory of flower, trim, concentrate and edibles at the Leased Real Property as Seller has maintained over the previous twelve (12) months prior to the date hereof, alerting the Buyer to any seasonality fluctuations that may occur, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Sellers’ reasonable efforts to ensure that Seller’s levels of inventory held at the Leased Real Property do not fall below the Minimum Closing Inventory Levels. Nothing in this Section 6.8 will prohibit or in any way impair Seller’s ability to sell its inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(ii) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the release of any remaining Holdback Shares or Holdback Cash, as applicable, available for issuance to Seller or the Members pursuant to Section 2.2(d) on the Holdback Release Date will not be deemed to modify the obligations of Seller or the Members with respect to indemnification or the survival of representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements or any related right to indemnification, nor will the Holdback Shares and Holdback Cash, or the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ rights to make Claims against the Holdback Shares and Holdback Cash, serve as a cap on or the sole source of funds to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Seller or the Members or otherwise limit the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ remedies hereunder.

(d) Indemnification Obligations of Parent. Parent agrees to indemnify, defend and reimburse Seller, the Members and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, equityholders, subsidiaries, employees, successors, heirs, assigns, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Person”) for and hold harmless each Seller Indemnified Person from and against any Damages related to or arising, directly or indirectly, out of, caused by or resulting from the following:

Section 7.2 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Claims. Any Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder (each, a “Claiming Party”) will deliver to the indemnifying party (as applicable, the “Responding Party”), notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any claim (each, a “Claim”) as to which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification hereunder promptly after the Claiming Party has received notice thereof or otherwise becomes aware of such Claim; provided that failure to give timely notice will not limit the indemnification obligations of the Responding Party hereunder except to the extent the Responding Party demonstrates actual and material prejudice caused by the delay in giving, or failure to give, such notice. Each Claim Notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail, include copies of all material written evidence thereof (except to the extent such information is confidential or subject to attorney-client or work product privilege), and indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably determinable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Claiming Party. The Claiming Party will allow the Responding Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Claim, and the Claiming Party will assist the Responding Party’s investigation by giving information and assistance (including reasonable access during normal business hours to premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Responding Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request.

(b) Objections to Claims; Resolution of Conflicts.

(i) The Responding Party will have the right to object to the Claiming Party’s right to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII for any Claim made pursuant to Section 7.2(a) by delivering written notice of such objection (each, a “Claim Objection Notice”) to the applicable Claiming Party within thirty (30) days following the Responding Party’s receipt of a Claim Notice (such period, the “Claim Objection Period”). The Claim Objection Notice with respect to any Claim will specify in reasonable detail the basis for the Responding Party’s objection to such Claim. In the event that the Responding Party does not object to a Claim within the Claim Objection Period, (A) the Responding Party will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Claim set forth in the Claim Notice and will be precluded from raising any objection thereto after the Claim Objection Period, and (B) the Claiming Party’s right to recovery in respect of such Claim will be as provided pursuant to Section 7.7 and will be effective as of the day following the expiration of the Claim Objection Period.

(ii) In the event the Responding Party timely delivers a Claim Objection Notice to the Claiming Party with respect to any particular Claim pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i), (A) the Claiming Party will have ten (10) days after receipt of such Claim Objection Notice to respond thereto and (B) the Claiming Party and the Responding Party will attempt in good faith during the ten (10)-day period after the Responding Party’s receipt of such written response to reach a settlement of such Claim. If such a settlement is reached with respect to such Claim, the Claiming Party’s right to recovery in respect of such Claim will be as provided pursuant to Section 7.7 and will be effective as of the date of settlement. If no such settlement can be reached after good faith negotiation during such ten (10)-day period, either the Claiming Party or the Responding Party may commence a Legal Proceeding to resolve such Claim in accordance with Section 9.9. This Section 7.2(b) will not apply to any Legal Proceeding for, or in any way limit the rights and remedies of any Party with respect to or such Party’s right to seek, specific performance, injunctive or declaratory relief or other equitable remedies pursuant to Section 7.6 or otherwise.

(c) Third-Party Claims. If any Claim is a third-party claim (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) the following provisions will apply:

(i) The Responding Party will have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Claiming Party, assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Responding Party’s expense and by the Responding Party’s own counsel, and the Claiming Party will cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Responding Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, (A) the Responding Party will diligently conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim, will keep the Claiming Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim, and will have the right to take any action that it deems reasonably necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Claiming Party, (B) the Claiming Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim (except that the Responding Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of the Claiming Party’s counsel (but not more than one law firm per jurisdiction) if the Claiming Party reasonably determines that counsel for the Responding Party has a conflict of interest or that there may be one or more defenses available to the Claiming Party that are not available to the Responding Party) and (C) the Responding Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Responding Party, does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Claiming Party or impose any future limitations of the Claiming Party’s business or operations, and includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Claiming Party of a release (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party) from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2(c)(i), in the event of a Third-Party Claim, the defense of which would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates to engage in the business of growing, processing, distributing, or marketing recreational cannabis products, the Claiming Party will have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim with counsel of the Claiming Party’s choice; provided that the Claiming Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim diligently and must keep the Responding Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim; and provided further that the Responding Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in (but not control) the defense of the Third-Party Claim. In any such case, the Claiming Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect thereto, and the Responding Party will remain responsible for any Damages the Claiming Party may suffer to the extent resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VII.

(iii) If the Responding Party is not entitled to, pursuant to Section 7.2(c)(ii), or if the Responding Party fails to defend such Third-Party Claim as provided in Section 7.2(c)(i), the Claiming Party may pay, settle, compromise and defend such Third-Party Claim and will be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim and its defense thereof, including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and all amounts paid in settlement thereof or as a result of any judgment related thereto; provided, however, that the Claiming Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Responding Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iv) Purchaser, Parent, Seller, the Members, the Responding Party and the Claiming Party will cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and will make available to the Party or Parties defending such Claim such materials and assistance relating thereto as is reasonably requested from such Person.

Section 7.3 Survival.

(a) General. The representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement and all related rights to indemnification will survive the Closing as set forth in this Section 7.3. Neither Seller, any Member, nor Parent will have any obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(d), as applicable, with respect to any Claim unless the Claim is asserted in writing, in good faith, and with reasonable specificity in accordance with this Article VII on or prior to the expiration of the following Applicable Survival Periods:

(i) the representations and warranties of Seller and the Members contained in this Agreement, the Seller Closing Certificates and the Member Closing Certificates, in each case other than the Fundamental Representations, will survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and will terminate at 11:59 p.m., Mountain Time, on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date;

(vi) all Claims based on Section 7.1(b)(iii) or Section 7.1(d)(iii) will survive the Closing until, and will terminate at, 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on the twenty (20)-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Survival of Claims Until Final Determination. For each Claim for indemnification hereunder regarding a representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement that is made in accordance with Section 7.2(a) before the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement, such Claim and associated rights to indemnification will not terminate until the final determination and satisfaction of such Claim.

(c) Enforcement of Survival Period. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 7.3 (the “Applicable Survival Period”) is longer than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item will be increased to the extended survival period set forth in this Section 7.3. The Parties further acknowledge that the Applicable Survival Periods set forth in this Section 7.3 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of an arm’s-length negotiation among the Parties and that the Parties intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

Section 7.4 Limitations.

(a) Threshold. Except as provided in Section 7.4(b), the Purchaser Indemnified Persons will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) exceeds $10,000 (the “Threshold”); and if the Damages of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) exceed the Threshold, then Seller and the Members will be obligated for any Damages pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) in excess of Threshold (subject to the other express limitations set forth in this Article VII).

(b) Exceptions. The limitations set forth in Section 7.4(a) will not apply to or otherwise affect the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ ability to make Claims or recover Damages with respect to Claims based on or for (i) a breach or inaccuracy, or, as applicable, allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of any Fundamental Representation (or any inaccuracy of Seller Closing Certificate or any Member Closing Certificate with respect to the same), (ii) Fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct, or, for the avoidance of doubt, (iii) indemnification under Section 7.1(b)(ii), (iii), or (iv).

(ii) The aggregate amount of all Damages for which Seller and the Members will be liable under Section 7.1(b) will not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(iii) The limitations set forth Section 7.4(c)(i) and (ii) will not apply to or otherwise affect the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ ability to make Claims or recover Damages with respect to (A) Claims for Fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct or (B) Claims for indemnification under Section 7.1(b)(iii), for which Seller’s and the Members’ obligations to provide indemnification will be the full extent of any such Damages.

(d) Other Recovery. All Damages will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Person under insurance policies or other sources of indemnification with respect to such Damages (net of expenses incurred in connection with such recovery or any related premium adjustments); provided however that no Purchaser Indemnified Person will have any obligation to seek to recover insurance proceeds in connection with making an indemnification claim under this ARTICLE VII.

Section 7.5 Materiality Qualifiers. For purposes of calculating the amount of Damages arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, or Section 4.3, and the determination of whether a breach has occurred, any Materiality Qualifiers in such representation or warranty will be disregarded.

Section 7.6 Exclusive Remedy; Rights to Specific Performance.

(a) With regard to any Claims for monetary Damages related to any breach or inaccuracy, or allegation by any third party which, if true, would be a breach or inaccuracy, of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations in this Agreement, the Claiming Party’s right to indemnification under this Article VII will be the Claiming Party’s exclusive remedy for any such Claims (other than for Claims based on or for Fraud) and the Claiming Party will not be entitled to any other monetary remedy with regard thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates arising under or based upon any applicable Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth this Article VII and except with respect to claims or causes of action based on or for Fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, a Party will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by another Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity, but subject to the express limitations set forth in this Article VII.

Section 7.7 Recourse.

(a) If and to the extent that a Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Section 7.7(b), such Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person, as applicable, will recoup all or any portion of any Damages to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person is entitled by directing cash payment of, and Seller and the Members (in the event that the Person entitled to indemnification is a Purchaser Indemnified Person) or Parent (in the event that the Person entitled to indemnification is a Seller Indemnified Person) will pay with fifteen (15) Business Days, monetary Damages from the Seller and Members or Parent, as applicable. The remedies in this Section 7.7 are not exclusive of any other remedies a Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person may exercise at law or in equity to satisfy Seller’s, the Members’ or Parent’s indemnification obligations hereunder.

(b) If and to the extent that a Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Damages will be recouped first by (i) the cancellation by Parent of a number of Holdback Shares determined by, rounded down to the nearest whole share, (A) the amount of such Damages multiplied by (B) eighty percent (80%) divided by (C) the Per Parent Share Price and (ii) Parent’s setoff of an amount of Holdback Cash that equals (A) the amount of such Damages minus (B) the dollar value of the Holdback Shares cancelled pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) as determined by multiplying the number of such Holdback Shares by the Per Parent Share Price. In the event that the Holdback Shares and Holdback Cash are insufficient to satisfy an amount of Damages to which a Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Indemnified Person will recoup any such amount by directing cash payment of, and Seller and the Members will pay within fifteen (15) Business Days, monetary Damages.

Section 7.8 Knowledge and Investigation; No Other Representations. All representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and indemnities of Seller and the Members contained in this Agreement and in the Related Agreements will be deemed material and relied upon by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, regardless of any knowledge or investigation or any representation made by any Purchaser Indemnified Person, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Other than those representations and warranties made by Seller or the Members in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, neither Seller nor any Member has made, and neither Seller nor any Member will have or be subject to any Liability hereunder (except for Liability based on or for Fraud, knowing or intentional misrepresentation or breach or willful misconduct) arising out of, relating to or resulting from, any other representation or warranty concerning Seller, the Members, the Business, the Purchased Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Other Factors Not Limiting. No representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement contained herein will limit the generality or applicability of any other representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement. The terms of this Article VII will be enforceable regardless of whether Liability is based on past, present or future acts, claims or legal requirements and regardless of any sole, concurrent, contributory, comparative or similar negligence, or of any sole, concurrent, strict or similar Liability, of any of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons.

Section 7.10 Effect of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article VII will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 7.11 No Right of Contribution or Subrogation. Neither Seller nor any Member will make any claim for contribution or subrogation against any Purchaser Indemnified Person with respect to any indemnity claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement to the extent that any Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder for such claim, and Seller and the Members hereby waive any such right of contribution and subrogation from or against any Purchaser Indemnified Person that Seller or any Member, as applicable, has or may have in the future.

Section 7.12 Effect of Officer’s Certificates. For the avoidance of doubt, any written certification by a Person (or any officer thereof) of the accuracy of any representation or warranty (or of any other matter), including the Seller Closing Certificate, any Member Closing Certificate, the Purchaser Closing Certificate, the Parent Closing Certificate, and any other certification contemplated in Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, will be deemed to constitute the making or re-making of such representation or warranty by such Person (or a representation or warranty regarding such other matter) at the time of such certification in the manner and to the extent stated in such certification, including for purposes of Section 7.1(b).

Section 7.13 Maximum Contribution. If and to the extent any provision of this Article VII is unenforceable for any reason, Seller and each Member hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution that is permissible under Law to the payment and satisfaction of any Damages for which indemnification is provided for in this Article VII (but subject to all limitations set forth in this Article VII applicable thereto, aggregating Damages for which contribution may be made under this Section 7.13 with Damages for which indemnification may be made under Section 7.1(b) for purposes of such limitations as if they referred to contribution obligations in addition to indemnification obligations).

Section 7.14 References to “Indemnification Obligations”. For purposes of this Article VII and any other provision of this Agreement, any reference to the “indemnification obligations” of Seller, the Members, or Parent under this Article VII or words of like import, will be deemed to refer to all of the obligations of Seller and the Members under Section 7.1(b) or the obligations of Parent under Section 7.1(d), including the obligations to indemnify, defend, reimburse, hold harmless and pay.
