(c) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price, including each component thereof (such amount, the “Preliminary Purchase Price”). After delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, Buyer shall give Parent and its representatives reasonable access to review Buyer’s and the Acquired Company’s non-privileged books and records and work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement. Parent and its representatives may make reasonable inquires of Buyer and the Acquired Company and their respective accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Closing Statement arising in the course of its review thereof, and Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Company to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries.

(d) If Parent agrees in writing to ▇▇▇▇▇’s Preliminary Purchase Price, as proposed in Buyer’s Preliminary Closing Statement, then such Preliminary Purchase Price shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the “Final Purchase Price,” such Preliminary Closing Statement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the “Final Closing Statement” and each shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Parent in good faith disputes the Preliminary Purchase Price as shown on the Preliminary Closing Statement, Parent shall deliver to Buyer, within 30 days after receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, a statement (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Parent’s calculation of the correct Purchase Price and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different Purchase Price (provided that such 30-day period shall be extended by one (1) day for each day that Buyer is in breach of its access obligations under Section 1.3(c)). The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences regarding the determination of the Purchase Price for a period of 30 days after Parent has delivered the Dispute Notice. If the Parties resolve such differences, the Purchase Price agreed to by the Parties shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the “Final Purchase Price,” the corresponding statement calculating such Final Purchase Price shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the “Final Closing Statement” and each shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(e) If the Parties do not reach a final resolution on the Purchase Price within 30 days after Parent has delivered the Dispute Notice, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, KPMG LLP or, if KPMG LLP is unavailable, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or another independent internationally recognized accounting firm selected in writing by Parent and Buyer (KPMG LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or such independent internationally recognized accounting firm, as applicable, the “Neutral Accountant”) shall resolve such differences, pursuant to the Neutral Accountant’s standard terms and conditions for similar engagements (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties) to be set forth in an engagement agreement executed by the Parties and the Neutral Accountant, in the manner

- 5 -

provided below. The Parties shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Parent, Buyer and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s calculation of the Purchase Price; and the Neutral Accountant shall be required to resolve the differences between the Parties and determine the Purchase Price within 20 Business Days thereafter. The Purchase Price determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the “Final Purchase Price,” and the corresponding statement calculating such Final Purchase Price shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the “Final Closing Statement.” Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error.

(f) The Neutral Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall not be authorized or permitted to:

(i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Parties regarding the determination of the Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 1.3;

(ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to any component of the calculation of the Purchase Price that is outside of the range defined by amounts as proposed by the Parties in the Preliminary Closing Statement or the Dispute Notice; or

(iii) apply any accounting methods, treatments, principles or procedures other than as described in the definitions set forth in this Agreement, Schedule 1.3(a) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Accounting Principles.

(g) The costs, fees and expenses related to final determination of the Purchase Price by the Neutral Accountant, including the costs relating to any negotiations with the Neutral Accountant with respect to the terms and conditions of such Neutral Accountant’s engagement, will be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, on an inversely proportional basis, based upon the relative portions of the amounts in dispute that have been submitted to the Neutral Accountant for resolution that ultimately are awarded to each of Buyer and Parent (e.g., if $100,000 is in dispute, and of that amount the Neutral Accountant awards $75,000 to Buyer and $25,000 to Parent, then Buyer will be responsible for 25%, and Parent will be responsible for 75%, of the costs, fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant).

(h) The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.3 for resolving disputes with respect to the Purchase Price shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes, provided that this provision shall not prohibit either Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Neutral Accountant.

- 6 -

(i) If the Final Purchase Price determined in accordance with this Section 1.3 is less than the Estimated Purchase Price by an amount in excess of $90,000 (the “Adjustment Threshold”), then Parent shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Purchase Price and the Final Purchase Price. If the Final Purchase Price determined in accordance with this Section 1.3 is more than the Estimated Purchase Price by an amount in excess of the Adjustment Threshold, then Buyer shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Estimated Purchase Price. If the Final Purchase Price determined in accordance with this Section 1.3 is either (A) less than the Estimated Purchase Price by an amount equal to or less than the Adjustment Threshold, or (B) more than the Estimated Purchase Price by an amount equal to or less than the Adjustment Threshold, then the Estimated Purchase Price shall be deemed to be equal to the Final Purchase Price. Any payment pursuant to this Section 1.3(i) shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Buyer or Parent, as the case may be, within five Business Days after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is determined pursuant to this Section 1.3.

(j) For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjusted Purchase Price” means the Estimated Purchase Price plus, if applicable, the amount of the payment required to be made by Buyer to Parent pursuant to the second sentence of Section 1.3(i) or minus, if applicable, the amount of the payment required to be made by Parent to Buyer pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1.3(i).

1.4 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when requested by either Party and at the requesting Party’s expense, the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not enlarge the Parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement. In addition, (a) the Parties shall perform their respective obligations set forth under the heading “Deferred Items” on Schedule I, to the extent applicable, (b) Buyer will reasonably cooperate with Parent, at Parent’s request and expense, to obtain consent to assign, and to complete the assignment from the Acquired Company to Parent (or a designated Affiliate) of, the agreements identified on Schedule 1.4 as promptly as practicable following the Closing and (c) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days following the Closing, Buyer will replace ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (i) as Designated Responsible Licensed Producer for the Acquired Company in each applicable state and (ii) as carrier principal for the Acquired Company for each applicable carrier.

1.5 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and the Acquired Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable (directly or indirectly) pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Buyer or the Acquired Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable law; provided, however, if Buyer or the Acquired Company determines that any amounts are required to be deducted or withheld (other than any deduction or withholding with respect to any payments constituting compensation for services), Buyer or the Acquired Company, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Parent with written notice of the intent to make such deduction or withholding prior to such deduction or withholding and to provide Parent with the opportunity to submit documentation that no withholding or deduction is required or that a reduced rate of withholding

- 7 -

is permitted. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and such amounts are paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable payee in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

No claim is pending or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened, that challenges the Acquired Company’s ownership or use of any Acquired Company IP or to the effect that any Acquired Company IP is or will be invalid or unenforceable by the Acquired Company, and, to Parent’s knowledge, there is no basis for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened).

(e) All Intellectual Property Registrations are maintained in good standing, and all applications within the Intellectual Property Registrations are being diligently prosecuted in the respective offices in accordance with applicable laws.

(a) Third-Party Claims. Subject to the provisions of Article V, all claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party (as defined in this Section 4.3(a)) shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Article IV (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days, after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim, the amount of the claimed Damages and any other material details pertaining thereto; provided, however, that the failure to timely give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. Within 60 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests that cannot be waived with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a third-party claim and is in good faith contesting such third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party may agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a third-party claim that by its terms (a) is limited to one or more monetary payments (and does not include any injunctive or similar equitable relief or other restrictions or constraints for the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates), (b) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Damages in connection with such third-party claim, (c) irrevocably and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in connection with such third-party claim, and (d) does not contain any admission of fault, guilt or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. Upon making any indemnification payment, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the Damages to which the payment relates. The Indemnified Party shall, upon request, (x) execute all agreements, instruments and documents and take all other actions as may be reasonably necessary to evidence, perfect and enforce such subrogation rights and (y) provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Indemnifying Party’s pursuit of any claims against such third party.

- 29 -

(b) Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article IV which is not subject to Section 4.3(a) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article IV and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnified Party of the applicable Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.13.

(c) Procedures for Tax Audits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent there is a conflict between the provisions of this Section 4.3 and Section 5.4 with regard to any Tax Audit (as defined in Section 5.4), Section 5.4 shall govern.

4.4 Survival.

(a) The Parties agree that:

(i) the representations and warranties of Parent and Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall continue until the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 (Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power), Section 2.2 (Capitalization), Section 2.3 (Authority), Section 2.4(a) (Noncontravention of Organizational Documents), Section 2.5 (Subsidiaries), Section 2.8 (Tax Matters), Section 2.22 (Brokers’ Fees), Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authorization of Transaction), Section 3.3(a) (Noncontravention of Organizational Documents), Section 3.4 (Broker’s Fees) and Section 3.7 (Solvency) (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period;

(ii) none of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing (and each such covenant or other agreement shall expire at the Closing) other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the term of the undertaking set forth in such covenant or agreement, at which time it will expire;

- 30 -

(iii) subject to Section 4.4(b), no Party shall have any obligation or liability of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the expiration or termination thereof; and

(iv) it is the express intent of the Parties that (A) if the applicable survival period as contemplated by this Agreement for an item is shorter 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 shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated herein, and (B) the 20-year statute of limitations contemplated by 10 Del. C. §8106(c) shall not apply to this Agreement.

(b) If an indemnification claim is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 4.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 4.4(a) of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the basis for such claim, then such claim shall survive such expiration until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

4.5 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the following limitations shall apply:

(i) The amount of Damages that may be recovered from Parent under each of Section 4.1(a) (other than with respect to Damages resulting from any breach of the Fundamental Representations made by Parent) and Section 4.1(f) shall not exceed $2,025,000 (the “Cap)”; and

(ii) Buyer shall not be permitted to recover any Damages under Section 4.1(a) (other than with respect to Damages resulting from any breach of the Fundamental Representations) until such Damages exceed $135,000 (the “Deductible”), at which point Buyer shall be permitted to recover only such Damages in excess of the Deductible.

The limitations of this Section 4.5(a) (including the Deductible and the Cap) shall not apply (i) to any claim described in Section 4.1(b), Section 4.1(c), Section 4.1(d), Section 4.1(e) or (ii) in the case of Fraud (as defined below); provided, however, that, except in the case of Fraud or any claim described in Section 4.1(d), the aggregate liability of Parent for all Damages under this Article IV shall not exceed the Adjusted Purchase Price; provided, further, that in the event Damages related to the Business result from matters that are expressly the subject of any representation or warranty of Parent contained in this Agreement, such Damages shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 4.5(a) with respect to such representation and warranty, as applicable, notwithstanding the fact that such Damages may also relate to a claim described in Section 4.1(d). For purposes of this Agreement, “Fraud” means knowing and intentional common law fraud under the laws of the State of Delaware with respect to the giving of any representation or warranty in Article II or Article III hereof, as applicable.

- 31 -

(b) Subject to Section 7.12 and except in the case of Fraud and claims made pursuant to Article V, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article IV, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Other than the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article IV (which shall not be deemed limited by this sentence), Buyer hereby waives and releases (on behalf of the Acquired Company) any claim that the Acquired Company may have against Parent or any of its Affiliates arising at any time at or prior to the Closing. Subject to Section 7.12, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Parties under Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of Article V. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement.

(c) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible and liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article IV that (i) reflect multiples of lost earnings, revenue, cash flows, or other similar financial measures or (ii) are special or punitive, except to the extent such Damages are actually awarded to a third party in connection with an indemnification claim under this Article IV. Buyer shall (and shall cause the Acquired Company to) use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions to mitigate Damages for which indemnification is provided to Buyer by Parent under Article IV, to the extent required by applicable law.

(d) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article IV shall be reduced by any related recoveries to which the Indemnified Party is entitled under insurance policies actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or other related recoveries from third parties or for which the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates is eligible on account of the matter resulting in such Damages or the payment of such Damages (net of any deductible, co-pay, or actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in collecting such amounts, retroactive premiums and/or any increase in premium resulting from such recoveries). An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all insurance or other third-party claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any Damages indemnifiable pursuant to this Article IV it incurs, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other in pursuing insurance or other third-party claims with respect to any Damages or any indemnification obligations with respect to Damages; provided, that Buyer shall have no obligation to seek recovery under any such insurance or other third-party claims prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance or other third-party payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 10 Business Days of receiving such insurance or other third-party payment, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Article IV with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance or other third-party payments received (net of any deductible, co-pay, or actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in collecting such amounts, retroactive premiums and/or any increase in premium resulting from such recoveries), over (ii) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article IV.

- 32 -

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty was breached for purposes of this Article IV and for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification under this Article IV, each representation and warranty in Article II and Article III will be deemed made without regard to, and will be read without giving effect to, any “materiality” (including the word “material”), “Business Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifiers contained in or otherwise applicable to any such representation or warranty.

4.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Adjusted Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by law.

(b) entering into any relationship with a person or entity not owned, managed, operated or controlled by any Noncompetition Party if the primary purpose of such relationship is unrelated to a Competitive Business;

The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “to Parent’s knowledge”, “known by Parent” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge on the date hereof of the persons listed on Schedule 6.3(a) to this

Buyer understands and agrees that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates is in the business of providing the Services to third parties and that Parent shall be not obligated to continue (or to cause its Affiliates or any third party to continue), (a) any Service beyond the term of such Service (as set forth in Schedule 6.7) or (b) the Transition Support Period. During the Transition Support Period, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to work diligently and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enable a transition to its own internal organization (or employ directly the services of contractors, subcontractors, vendors or other third party providers) for the provision of the Services and to reduce or eliminate its and its Affiliates’ dependency on Parent or any of its Affiliates’ or any of its or their respective third party providers’ provision of the Services as soon as is reasonably practicable.
