The Buyer shall have 20 days following delivery of such Company Disclosure Schedule and such documents in which to terminate this Agreement if the Buyer objects to any information contained in such Company Disclosure Schedule or the contents of any such document and Buyer and Sellers cannot agree on mutually satisfactory modifications thereto or to this Agreement.

6.11 Piggyback Registration Rights. If the Buyer files a registration statement with the Commission covering the sale of shares of its Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or on another form, or in another context, in which such “piggyback” registration would be inappropriate such as the Buyer’s initial public offering of its securities), then, for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on the second (2^nd) anniversary of the date hereof, the Buyer shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Seller as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) business days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and offer to the Seller in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares common stock underlying the Buyer Notes (the “Underlying Shares”) as the Seller may request in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Buyer shall cause such Underlying Shares to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Underlying Shares requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Buyer and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Underlying Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Seller agrees that if the Seller proposes to include the Underlying Shares or any portion of them in Piggyback Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters, the Seller shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggyback Registration. This provision shall expire once the Underlying Shares may be freely sold by the Seller under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without restriction as to the volume of Underlying Shares that may be sold.

6.12 Tag Along Right. The Buyer shall not permit the Buyer’s Executive Chairman (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) or its President (▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇) (the “Tag Along Sellers”) to sell any shares of common stock, other capital stock or other securities of the Buyer held by them to a third party (other than to an Affiliate or family member) without the consent of the Seller unless the Seller is able to sell the Seller’s Underlying Shares to such third party on a pro rata basis. For purposes of this provision, “pro rata basis” means the number of total Underlying Shares then held by the Seller multiplied by a fraction where the numerator is the number of shares of Common Stock of the Buyer on a fully-diluted basis that is owned by the Tag Along Seller who is then selling securities and the denominator is the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Buyer that are outstanding on a fully-diluted basis. The Buyer shall treat as void any attempt by the Tag Along Sellers to make a transfer of securities of the Buyer in violation of this provision and shall not register any such transfer on the books and records of the Buyer. This provision shall expire immediately following the closing of the Buyer’s initial public offering of securities, including a public offering of securities under Regulation A of the Securities Act.

(b) by either the Buyer or the Seller if any Governmental Entity will have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(e) by the Seller if the Buyer has breached its representations and warranties or any covenant or other agreement to be performed by it in a manner such that the Closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) would not be satisfied.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Seller or the Buyer as provided in Section 8.1 , this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability (other than with respect to any suit for breach of this Agreement) on the part of the Buyer, the Companies or the Seller (or any stockholder, member, agent, consultant or Representative of any such party); provided, that the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.6, 10.7, and this Section 8.2 will survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.1.

8.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the Buyer may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of the Seller and the Companies or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions of the Seller or any conditions to its own obligations.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of eighteen (18 ) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Authority and Enforceability), 3.3 (The Securities), 3.4 (Brokers Fees), 4.1 (Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power; Authority and Enforceability), 4.3 (Capitalization), 4.6 (Taxes), 4.19 (Brokers Fees), 5.1 (Organization); 5.2 Authorization) and 5.4 (Broker Fees) of this Agreement (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then notwithstanding any statement herein to the contrary, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim is finally resolved. Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely.

9.2 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, the Seller agree to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against or affecting such Person; provided, that “Losses” shall not include punitive damages, speculative damages or damages that are not the reasonably foreseeable consequence of the breach giving rise to such Losses except, in each case, to the extent such damages are required to be paid to a third party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim. (individually and collectively, the “Losses”) suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller or the Companies contained in Article III or IV of this Agreement; or (b) the failure of Seller to perform any of their covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Seller and to the extent applicable, the Seller’ Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement or (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; in which case the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. All claims other than Third-Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to remedy such Direct Claim.

(b) In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.5 Failure to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such notice was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to extend the period for which Seller’s representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1 above.

9.6 Limited on Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (but not with respect to the Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall not be so limited) is subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Seller shall not, in the aggregate, be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price actually received by the Seller in cash or from the receipt of payments under the Buyer Notes) to the extent that the amounts otherwise indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds an aggregate maximum equal twenty –five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price. actually received by the Seller in cash or from the receipt of payments under the Buyer Notes.

(b) The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) until and unless the aggregate amounts indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $150,000. (the “Deductible”). In the event the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ claim for Losses, in the aggregate, exceed the Deductible, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover those Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(c) Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for Losses arising under Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, unless the claim therefor is asserted in writing on or prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties.

9.7 Payments. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly upon the determination in accordance with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

9.8 Recoupment under Buyer Notes.

(a) If the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim in accordance with this Article IX, Buyer shall have the right to set-off the amount of such claim against its obligations against the Buyer Notes.

(b) If the Buyer intends to set-off any amount hereunder, the Buyer shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Seller of its intention to do so, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor (a “Set-Off Notice”). If, within twenty (20) days of its receipt of a Set-Off Notice, the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of Seller’ dispute with Buyer’s right to make such set-off, Buyer and Seller (and their respective representatives and advisors) shall meet (which may be accomplished telephonically) in good faith within ten (10) days to attempt to resolve their dispute. If such dispute remains unresolved despite Buyer’s good faith attempt to meet with the Seller and resolve such dispute, Buyer may set-off under this Section 9.8 only (a) with respect to those indemnification claims that have been Finally Determined (as defined below), (b) as described in the first sentence of Section 9.8(c) or with the prior written consent of the Seller.

(c) In the event of a dispute with respect to any indemnification claim against Seller made in good faith pursuant to this Article IX, and the liability for and amount of Losses therefore, Buyer may place any payments due to the Seller under the Buyer Notes in escrow to be held in its attorney’s escrow account, up to the disputed amount until the matter is resolved.
