If the EBITDA of the Company for FY 2010 (after giving effect to the 2009 EBITDA Excess) is less than 80% of the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for FY 2010, Sellers would not be entitled to be paid any Earn Out Payment for that Fiscal Year.

If the total of the EBITDA actually achieved by the Company for FY 2009, FY 2010 and FY 2011 is less than 80% of the Three Year Total EBITDA Profit Target, and the EBITDA for FY 2011 (after giving effect to the 2010 EBITDA Excess) is less than 80% of the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for FY 2011, the Sellers would not be entitled to be paid any Earn Out Payment for that year.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all covenants and agreements made hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall not terminate but shall survive the Closing indefinitely, limited only by the applicable statutes of limitation governing the assertion of a claim for a breach thereof.

9.3. General Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to Section 9.9 hereof, the Sellers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns from and against any Losses, including, where applicable, interest thereon determined at the Applicable Rate calculated from the earliest date permitted under applicable law until the date of payment, which are caused by or arise out of: (a) any breach or default in the performance by the Sellers of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; (b) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Sellers contained herein, or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, without regard to materiality other than under Section 5.11, and (c) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incident to any of the foregoing. To the extent that the Company or the Purchaser receives an indemnification under any insurance policy, any amount to which the Purchaser or the Company otherwise would be entitled hereunder shall be reduced accordingly by the amount of such insurance indemnification payment.

9.4 General Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to Section 9.9, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective heirs, successors and assigns from and against any Losses including, where applicable, interest thereon determined at the Applicable Rate calculated from the earliest date permitted under Applicable Law until the date of payment, which are caused by or arise out of: (a) any breach or default in the performance by Purchaser or the Company of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser contained herein or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto; (b) any breach of warranty or representation made by Purchaser contained herein or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incident to any of the foregoing.

9.5. Specific Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to Section 9.9 to the extent applicable, the Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and the Company from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Purchaser or the Company as a result of, or which relate to, or arise from, any of the following:

(a) any Liabilities arising out of, or relating to, the resignation of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the sale of his equity interest in the Company in connection therewith; and

(b) any Tax or other Liabilities arising out of, or relating to, any transfers of the Shares by any of the Sellers to Persons owned or controlled by them.

9.6. Procedure; Notice of Claims.

(a) Any indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for in Section 9.1, give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement or document executed in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided that a Claim Notice in respect of any legal action by or against a third party as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action is commenced; and provided further that failure to give such notice promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto (the “Waiting Period”) to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination of the claim set forth in the Claim Notice and to the payment of such amount to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds or (ii) provide such Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees (and the reasons therefor) with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are unable to reach an accord regarding all of the claims asserted in the Claim Notice within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Dispute Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), the Indemnified Party may commence such action as it deems appropriate to enforce the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX subject to Section 11.5 of this Agreement. The failure to file a Dispute Notice within the time permitted shall be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by the Indemnifying Party of its acquiescence to the amount and method of determination of the claim in the Claim Notice.

9.7. Procedure - Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim for indemnification is to be made against an Indemnifying Party, provide to the Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such claim (together with copies of any legal papers served), provided, however, that the failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall take such action, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request to avoid dispute, or appeal, settle or defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that the Company shall not, accept or pay or settle or make any submission in respect of such claims, without the Indemnifying Party’s prior consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Provided that it acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at its expense, provided that (x) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party has adequate resources to undertake such defense and satisfy any indemnifiable Losses arising from such Third Party Claim and (y) the selection of counsel is approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnified Party determines that the Indemnifying Party does not have adequate resources or the Indemnifying Party fails to make such an election within twenty (20) days after it receives notice pursuant to Section 9.7(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party, at its own expense, shall have the right to retain its own counsel and participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (A) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, unless (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the compromise or settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a remedy sought under a Third Party Claim is for injunctive or other non-monetary relief for which an Indemnified Party may be liable, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend or settle such proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense; provided, however, such Third Party Claim may not be settled without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) With respect to any obligations of an Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party which arise pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate with each other as reasonably requested by the other.

9.8 Remedies. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for breach of representations and warranties contained in Articles V and VI of this Agreement shall be restricted to the indemnification rights set forth in this Article IX. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Swedish Sale of Goods Act (1990.931) shall not apply to this Agreement, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a deduction of the Purchase Price is the only consequence that can be claimed by the Purchaser due to the Sellers’ breach of the representations and warranties in Article V of this Agreement.

9.9. Certain Limitations.

(a) Each Party’s aggregate liability for indemnification for the breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or in any Related Document shall not exceed an amount equal to fifty (50%) percent of the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser including the amount of Earn Out Payments which the Sellers have earned and otherwise would be entitled to be paid (the “Liability Cap”), with the exception of Section 5.7 (Taxes) where the Sellers’ liability is limited to the total Purchase Price.

(b) The Sellers shall not be liable for Losses under Section 9.3 (b) unless and until such Losses exceed $200,000 USD, in the aggregate, without taking into account materiality other than under Section 5.11 (the “Sellers Basket Amount”), it being understood that once the amount of the Loss (or Losses) equals or exceeds the Seller Basket Amount, the Purchaser shall be entitled to be indemnified on a dollar for dollar basis for the full amount of the Loss including the Sellers Basket Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers Basket Amount shall not apply to any claims for indemnification other than those pursuant to Section 9.3(b), including the breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant in this Agreement or any other breach of this Agreement that is not a breach of the representations and warranties in Article V, and any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.5. No individual claim for indemnification under Section 9.3 (b) shall be valid and assertable unless it is for an amount in excess of $20,000 USD; provided, however, that to the extent that individual claims are related to one another, they may be aggregated for the purposes of meeting such $20,000 threshold.

(c) The Purchaser shall not be liable for Losses under Section 9.4(b) unless and until such Losses exceed $200,000 in the aggregate (the “Purchaser Basket Amount”), it being understood that once the amount of the Loss (or Losses) equals or exceeds the Purchaser Basket Amount, the Sellers Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified on a dollar for dollar basis for the full amount of the Loss, including the Purchaser Basket Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser Basket Amount shall not apply to any claims for indemnification other than those pursuant to Section 9.4(b), including the breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant in this Agreement or any other breach of this Agreement that is not a breach of the representations and warranties in Article VI.

(d) It is agreed that for the purpose of making a claim for indemnification, the expiration of any one survival period, as set forth in Section 9.1, of certain representations and warranties, shall not affect the ability to make any claim for indemnification hereunder under any other representations and warranties still surviving; provided, however, that no Party shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification more than once on account of the same facts and circumstances.

ARTICLE X

10.5. Purchaser’s Right of Offset. The Purchaser always shall have the right to withhold and then set-off against any Earn Out Payments payable or to be paid to Sellers, the amount of any valid claim for indemnification asserted by the Purchaser to the extent that such claim exceeds the amount of the balance in the Escrow Account.

11.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Sweden, without regard or giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

11.5. Disputes. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) by three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules; provided, however, that any disputes arising under Sections 3.2 or 3.3 shall be settled by only one (1) arbitrator pursuant to, and using, the Simplified Procedure of such Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Stockholm, Sweden, and the language of the proceedings shall be in English. Nothing herein shall prevent either Party from seeking injunctive relief or specific performance from any court of competent jurisdiction as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, and/or otherwise as necessary to obtain execution of any arbitration decision or award.

11.6. Expenses. All fees and expenses, including but not limited to legal fees and expenses, incurred by a Party in connection with the negotiations, preparation, execution and implementation of any documents necessary to give effect to the matters which are intended to take place under the terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing, be borne by the incurring Party.

11.7. Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other Parties, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the right of any other to seek the issuance of injunctive relief by any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations and to the granting by any such Governmental Authority of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder.
