(b) Following receipt of the Estimated Closing Statement, Seller shall permit Purchaser and its Representatives at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to review Seller’s and the Company’s working papers prepared by Seller or its accountants relating to the calculation and preparation of the Estimated Cash, the Estimated Working Capital, the Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Transaction Expenses and the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, as well as the Company’s accounting books and records relating thereto, and Seller shall make reasonably available its Representatives (if any) responsible for the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement in order to respond to the inquiries of Purchaser and its Representatives.

Section 2.4 Post-Closing Cash Consideration Adjustment.

(a) As soon as practicable but in no event more than 90 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Initial Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) Purchaser’s determination of Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Cash”), (ii) Purchaser’s determination of the Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date, calculated in accordance with the Working Capital Calculation (the “Closing Working Capital”), (iii) all Indebtedness of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) all Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”), (v) Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Cash Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(i) and (vi) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date, without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur at Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”). The Initial Closing Statement (including the Closing Cash, the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses and the Closing Balance Sheet) shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP (and, to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP, the past practices of the Company) or as provided in the definitions of this Agreement.

(b) Seller and its accountants shall complete their review of the Initial Closing Statement within 30 days after Purchaser’s delivery thereof to Seller. During such review period, Purchaser shall cooperate with and provide Seller and her Representatives with reasonable access to all books and records reasonably requested by Seller to review the Initial Closing Statement (including the calculation and preparation of the Closing Cash, the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses and the Closing Balance Sheet), any work papers prepared by Purchaser or its accountants in connection with such calculations, and Purchaser shall make reasonably available its Representatives responsible for the preparation of the Initial Closing Statement in order to respond to the inquiries of Seller and her Representatives. If Seller objects to the contents of the Initial Closing Statement for any reason, Seller shall, on or before the last day of such 30-day period, so inform Purchaser in writing (a “Seller’s Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of its determination and the adjustments to the Initial Closing Statement that Seller believes should be made. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and the Closing Balance Sheet contained in the Initial Closing Statement and not specifically referenced in a timely delivered Seller’s Objection.

(c) If Seller timely delivers a Seller’s Objection to Purchaser, then, during the 30-day period following delivery of such Seller’s Objection, the Parties shall in good faith seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses and the Closing Balance Sheet. Any disputed items resolved in writing between Purchaser and Seller within such 30-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if Seller and Purchaser agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by Seller in the Seller’s Objection and the amount of the Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expense and the Closing Balance Sheet, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. If Seller and Purchaser have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 30-day period, then they shall jointly retain the Independent Accountant, which, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with this Section 2.4, and only with respect to those items specifically described in such Seller’s Objection on which Purchaser and Seller have not agreed, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Cash Consideration requires adjustment. Such determination shall be based solely on the materials submitted by the Parties and the definitions and provisions of this Agreement and not on independent review. Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Independent Accountant to deliver its written determination to Purchaser and Seller no later than 30 days after submitting the matter to it for resolution. At the time of retention of the Independent Accountant, Purchaser shall specify in writing to the Independent Accountant and Seller the amount of Purchaser’s computation of the Closing Cash Consideration (“Purchaser’s Position”), and Seller shall specify in writing to the Independent Accountant and to Purchaser the amount of its computation of the Closing Cash Consideration (“Seller’s Position”). The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any disputed item that is greater than the greatest value claimed by Purchaser or Seller at the time the Independent Accountant is retained or less than the smallest value claimed for the item by Purchaser or Seller at such time. The scope of the dispute(s) to be resolved by the Independent Accountant is limited to whether the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Cash, the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses and Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Cash Consideration were done in a manner consistent with the provisions and definitions of this Agreement and mathematically accurate, and the Independent Accountant is not to make any other determination unless jointly requested in writing by Purchaser and Seller. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountant (collectively, the “Independent Accountant Fees”) shall be borne (i) by Seller in that proportion equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is equal to Seller’s Position minus the Closing Cash Consideration determined by the Independent Accountant, and the denominator of which is equal to Seller’s Position minus Purchaser’s Position and (ii) by Purchaser in that proportion equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) equal to one minus the fraction described in clause (i). For example, if Seller’s Position is that the Closing Cash Consideration should be $150,000 and Purchaser’s Position is that the Closing Cash Consideration should be $100,000, the Independent Accountant determines that the Closing Cash Consideration should be $130,000 and the Independent Accountant Fees are $10,000, then (i) Seller shall pay $4,000 (40%) of the Independent Accountant Fees and (ii) Purchaser shall pay $6,000 (60%) of the Independent Accountant Fees. The Parties shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant during its resolution of the disagreement and make readily available to the Independent Accountant all relevant personnel and Representatives, books and records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants, to the extent permitted by such accountants) relating to amounts set forth in the Initial Closing Statement and the Seller’s Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accountant in connection therewith.

(d) The Initial Closing Statement, including the Closing Balance Sheet, Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses and the Closing Working Capital, as agreed to or deemed to have been agreed to, in each case in accordance with Section 2.4 between Purchaser and Seller or as determined by the Independent Accountant, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the Parties and shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”, “Final Cash”, “Final Indebtedness”, “Final Transaction Expenses” and “Final Working Capital” respectively, for all purposes herein.

(e) Upon completion of the calculation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and Final Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Closing Cash Consideration shall be recalculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) (substituting the estimated amounts set forth therein with the actual amounts as determined in accordance with Section 2.4(d)), and the following adjustments (the “Closing Cash Consideration Adjustment”) made:

(i) If the Closing Cash Consideration calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) using the Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and Final Working Capital is greater than the Closing Cash Consideration calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) using Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Transaction Expenses and Estimated Working Capital, then Purchaser shall promptly (but in no event later than three Business Days after the final determination) pay such difference to Seller, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Seller; provided however, that at the time of such payment, if such payment is to be made prior to the date of the payment of the Benefit Payment, the Company shall have available Cash to make such Benefit Payment in full. If all or a portion of the amount payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4(e)(i) would result in the Company having insufficient Cash to make the Benefit Payment in full, (the amount of such deficiency, a “Benefit Payment Shortfall”), then Purchaser shall have the right to delay the payment to Seller of the Benefit Payment Shortfall until the date such Benefit Payment is paid to the Person(s) entitled thereto.

(ii) If the Closing Cash Consideration calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) using the Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and Final Working Capital is less than the Closing Cash Consideration calculated in accordance with Section 2.2(a) using Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Transaction Expenses and Estimated Working Capital, then Purchaser shall have the right to set-off such difference against the amounts payable to Seller and/or the Key Employees, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 2.2(a)(iii)-(iv), on a pro rata, dollar-for-dollar basis.

(f) Any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.4(e) shall be treated by the Parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all federal, state, provincial, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law or a final determination.

Section 2.5 Closing.

(a) Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”), simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, 60▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or pursuant to the electronic or other remote exchange of all executed documents and other closing deliverables required by Section 2.5(b) and Section 2.5(c)), or at such other time or place as agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller.

Section 3.4 No Other Representations or Warranties; No Reliance.

Seller agrees that Seller will be responsible for any breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 6.4(a) by any of Seller’s Representatives and Affiliates.

Section 7.4 Limitation and Other Matters Relating to Indemnification.

(a) Seller shall not be liable for any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.2(a) until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to matters referred to in Section 7.2(a) equals $20,000 (the “Seller Basket”), and once the Seller Basket is met, Seller shall be responsible for all Losses from the first dollar, including all Losses that comprised a portion of the Seller Basket, up to a maximum aggregate amount of Losses equal to $300,000 (the “Liability Cap”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Seller Basket nor the Liability Cap will apply (i) in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, (ii) with respect to Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to any other provision of Section 7.2 other than Section 7.2(a), (iii) with respect to any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations set forth in Section 4.12 or (iv) with respect to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation.

(b) Purchaser shall not be liable for any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.3(a) until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to matters referred to in Section 7.3(a) equals $20,000 (the “Purchaser Basket”), and once the Purchaser Basket is met, Purchaser shall be responsible for all Losses from the first dollar, including all Losses that comprised a portion of the Purchaser Basket, up to a maximum aggregate amount of Losses equal to the Liability Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Purchaser Basket nor the Liability Cap will apply (i) in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, or (ii) with respect to Purchaser’s indemnification obligations pursuant to any other provision of Section 7.3 other than Section 7.3(a).

(c) For the purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty for the purposes of Section 7.2(a) and for the purposes of calculating the amount of Losses related thereto, any qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or any other similar qualification or standard contained in Article III or Article IV of this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be disregarded (it being understood that the word “Material” in the defined term “Material Contracts” and the qualification as to “Material Adverse Effect” contained in Section 4.5(c) shall not be disregarded for any of such purposes).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties shall not be limited by the fact that any Indemnified Party (i) had actual or constructive knowledge (regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through such Indemnified Party’s own investigation or through disclosure by the other Party, its Representatives or any other Person) of any breach, event or circumstance, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, or (ii) waived any breach of representation or compliance with any covenant.

(e) Subject to the procedures and other limitations set forth in this Section 7.4, upon written notice to Seller in good faith and specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Purchaser may set off any amount to which it may be entitled from Seller under this Agreement against the Post-Closing Cash Consideration or the Post-Closing Stock Consideration. The exercise of such right of setoff by Purchaser in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article VII, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under this Agreement or any other agreement between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and Seller or any of her Affiliates.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser sets off an amount pursuant to this Section 7.4(e) and it is later finally mutually determined by the Parties or pursuant to Legal Action that such setoff amount was in excess of the amount which Seller owed to Purchaser hereunder, then Purchaser shall pay such excess amount to Seller as promptly as practicable.

Section 7.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 7.5. A Person entitled to assert a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) pursuant to this Article VII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such Claim (a “Claim Notice”), which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of (i) the basis for, and nature of, such Claim, including the facts constituting the basis for such Claim, and (ii) the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim; provided, however, that any such Claim Notice need only specify such information to the knowledge of the Indemnified Party as of the date of such Claim Notice and shall not limit or prejudice any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party on the basis of any limitations on the information included in such Claim Notice, including any such limitations made in good faith to preserve the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other privilege. Any Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, (A) in the case of a Claim in connection with any Legal Action made or brought by any Person (other than a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement) against such Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), reasonably promptly following receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement of such Legal Action, and (B) in the case of a Claim other than a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party determines that it intends to seek indemnification for such Direct Claim; provided, however, that (1) no failure to give such prompt written notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure and (2) the right to indemnification of an Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim (x) shall not accrue until such Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of a Legal Action in connection with such Third-Party Claim and (y) shall not be deemed time-barred or otherwise unavailable until no less than 60 days after such Indemnified Party’s receipt of any such notice (and any statute of limitations or common law principal that limits or purports to limit the availability of such right to indemnification shall be deemed tolled, to the extent necessary, until such 90 day period has ended). The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith to resolve any Direct Claim for a period of 30 Business Days before commencing any Legal Action in connection with such Claim.

(b) With respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after delivery of the Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim (i) that seeks any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) that seeks monetary damages the amount of which would reasonably be expected to exceed any limitation on the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible hereunder, (iii) if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, has been brought by or on behalf of any customer or supplier of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (which Affiliates shall include, after the Closing, the Company), (iv) for which the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual conflict of interest exists that cannot be waived between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, (v) that relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Legal Action or Taxes, (vi) that the Indemnifying Party does not diligently defend in good faith or (vii) which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is not controlling such defense shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel (including advancement thereof) to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction in which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim (including by failing to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to control such defense in accordance with this Section 7.5(b)) or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including advancement thereof) to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction in which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by retaining and providing to the Party controlling such defense records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is controlling such defense shall keep the other Party reasonably advised of the status of such Legal Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities or obligations with respect thereto, (B) not impose any Liability or obligation (including any equitable remedies) on the Indemnified Party and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) an Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 7.6 Time for Payment of Claims; Insurance; Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article VII, any amount owing by any Person pursuant to this Article VII shall be paid within two Business Days after determination of such amount. The amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7 shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party that actually reduce the amount of the Loss (net of any costs, expenses, premiums or taxes incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to any future increase in insurance premiums, retroactive premiums, costs associated with any loss of insurance and replacement thereof, and costs incurred in seeking such collection of proceeds)); provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement; provided, further, that the existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for insurance or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 7 and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnifying Party pays an Indemnified Party an amount pursuant to this Section 7 which the Indemnified Party later actually recovers from insurance or another third party, the Indemnified Party shall immediately repay such amount to the Indemnifying Party, less the costs of recovery. All amounts paid by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by Law.

Section 7.7 Indemnification Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Subject to Section 7.7(b), from and after the Closing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties, including Purchaser and Seller, with respect to any claims for Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.7(a) shall limit the rights or remedies of, or constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies by, any Person pursuant to (or shall otherwise operate to interfere with the operation of) Section 2.4 or Section 8.9.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Article VII (including Section 7.4 and Section 7.7(a)) shall limit (i) the rights or remedies of any Person under this Agreement following the Closing Date based upon or in connection with fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful breach, or gross negligence, (ii) any Party’s right to bring claims based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach with respect to this Agreement at any time following the Closing Date (which such right shall survive indefinitely or until the latest time permitted by applicable Law), or (iii) any Party’s right to obtain specific performance, proportionate reduction of the purchase price or other injunctive relief with respect to any such breach or alleged breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

Section 8.3 Waivers; Amendments. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed, in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective, and, in the case of an amendment, modification, supplement or discharge, by Seller and Purchaser. No delay on the part of any Party at any time or times in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. Any waiver or consent may be given subject to satisfaction of conditions stated therein. The failure to insist upon the strict provisions of any covenant, term, condition or other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such covenant, term, condition or other provision hereof or default in connection therewith. The waiver of any covenant, term, condition or other provision hereof or default hereunder shall not affect or alter this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any other respect, and each and every covenant, term, condition or other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall, in such event, continue in full force and effect, except as so waived, and shall be operative with respect to any other then existing or subsequent default in connection herewith, unless specifically stated so in writing.

Section 8.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the other Transaction Documents and any other documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, covenants, promises, conditions, undertakings, inducements, representations, warranties and negotiations, expressed or implied, oral or written, between the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 8.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any purported assignment or delegation in contravention of this ‎Section 8.5 shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Purchaser may, without the prior written consent of Seller, assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more of its Affiliates; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentences of this ‎Section 8.5, this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and all matters, claims, controversies, disputes, suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all rights of the Parties (whether sounding in contract, tort, common or statutory law, equity or otherwise) in connection therewith, shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with, and enforced pursuant to, the internal Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Section 8.7 Jurisdiction; Forum. The Parties agree that the appropriate and exclusive forum for any dispute between any of the Parties arising out of this Agreement shall be in any state or federal court in Brooklyn, New York, and the Parties further agree that the Parties will not (and will not permit their respective Affiliates to) bring suit with respect to any disputes arising out of this Agreement in any court or jurisdiction other than the above-specified courts; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights of a Party to obtain execution of judgment in any other jurisdiction. The Parties waive any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any dispute so brought in the above-specified courts. The Parties further agree, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, that final and non-appealable judgment in any dispute contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment. The Parties irrevocably consent to the service of process in any dispute by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, first class postage prepaid to the addresses set forth in Section 8.2 or such other address as specified by a Party in accordance with Section 8.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.8 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Section 8.9 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred hereby, and the exercise by a Party of any one such remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other such remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage and harm would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and that, although monetary damages may be available for such a breach, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by such Party, the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. A Party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order or injunction, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. In the event that any Legal Action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, each Party agrees that it shall not allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy available at law.

Section 8.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent provided in Article VII (the provisions of which shall inure to the benefit of the Persons referenced therein as third-party beneficiaries of such provisions, including all Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees), this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, binding upon all of the Parties. In pleading or proving any provision of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce more than one set of such counterparts. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
