2.8 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Parent has caused to be prepared and delivered to Buyer a statement (the “Good Faith Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith estimate of (i) the accounts receivable of the Business as of the Closing Date (the “Accounts Receivable”) and (ii) the amount of Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (such estimate, which may be positive or negative, the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), calculated consistently with the accounting principles set forth on Schedule 2.8(a) (the “Agreed Accounting Principles”). Parent’s reasonable, good faith determination of the Estimated Net Working Capital shall be final and binding for purposes of calculating the Closing Payment.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Parent a statement (the “Closing Statement”) reflecting the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time, which may be positive or negative (the “Proposed Final Net Working Capital”). If the Closing Statement is not delivered to Parent within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, then the Estimated Net Working Capital delivered to the Buyer under Section 2.8(a) shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. The Closing Statement shall be prepared consistently with the Agreed Accounting Principles. Subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, Parent shall permit Buyer and its accountants to review promptly upon request, on-site or otherwise, during normal business hours, all records reasonably necessary for the preparation by Buyer of such Closing Statement and to take copies of the same. The Closing Statement shall: (i) not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) be based on facts and circumstances as they exist immediately prior to the Closing and shall exclude the effect of any act, decision or event occurring on or after the Closing.

(c) If Parent has a dispute with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Statement, Parent shall deliver to Buyer a Notice of Dispute not more than forty-five (45) days after the date Parent receives the Closing Statement. Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement that are not set forth in the Notice of Dispute. If Parent fails to deliver a Notice of Dispute within such forty-five (45) day period, Parent shall be deemed to have accepted the Proposed Final Net Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement. Upon receipt of any Notice of Dispute, Parent and Buyer shall promptly consult with each other with respect to the specified points of disagreement in an effort to resolve such dispute. Parent and Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after Buyer receives the Notice of Dispute to resolve

SL01DOCS\6494934

any such dispute (the “Resolution Period”). If Parent and Buyer fail to resolve such dispute during the Resolution Period, then Parent and Buyer shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) refer the dispute to PwC (the “Arbiter”). The Arbiter shall finally resolve, as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the referral of the dispute to the Arbiter, all points of disagreement with respect to the Closing Statement (which may include any and all items set forth in the Notice of Dispute). Each of Parent and Buyer (or their respective designees) shall be permitted to submit a proposed calculation of Net Working Capital, each as of the Effective Time, and applicable supporting documentation and to make a presentation to the Arbiter in connection with the resolution of such dispute, and, without the mutual agreement of Parent and Buyer, the Arbiter shall not rely on or consider any other documents, materials, presentations or evidence (other than the plain language of this Agreement) in making its determination. The Arbiter shall apply the terms of this Section 2.8 (including Schedule 2.8(a)), and shall otherwise conduct the arbitration under such procedures as Parent and Buyer may agree or, failing such agreement, under the then prevailing Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that the Arbiter’s final resolution must be within the range of values submitted by Parent and Buyer. Each of Parent and Buyer shall bear its own expenses in connection with the arbitration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the fees and expenses of the Arbiter incurred in connection with the arbitration of the Closing Statement shall be allocated between Parent and Buyer by the Arbiter in proportion to the extent either Parent or Buyer did not prevail on items in dispute with respect to the Closing Statement; provided that such fees and expenses shall not include, so long as a Party complies with the procedures of this Section 2.8, the other Party’s outside counsel or outside accounting fees. All determinations by the Arbiter shall be final, conclusive and binding with respect to the Closing Statement as of the Effective Time and the allocation of arbitration fees and expenses, in the absence of fraud or manifest error. The amount of Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time as finally determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8(b), which may be positive or negative, shall be referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital.” The date on which the Final Net Working Capital is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.8(b) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(d) The “Final Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, means the Final Net Working Capital less the Estimated Net Working Capital.

(e) If the Final Adjustment Amount is a positive number, such amount shall be added to the principal balance of the Note and bear interest pursuant to the terms of the Note. If the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, Buyer shall be entitled to offset from amounts due to Parent under the Note, an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount.

(f) If any Accounts Receivable have not been collected by Buyer within 365 calendar days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall be entitled to offset from amounts due to Parent under the Note, an amount equal to such uncollected Accounts Receivable.

2.9 Completion of Transfers.

(a) The entire beneficial interest in and to, and the risk of loss with respect to, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, shall, regardless of when legal title thereto shall be transferred to the Buyer, pass to the Buyer as of the Effective Time. All operations of the Business

SL01DOCS\6494934

shall be for the account of Seller up to the Effective Time and shall be for the account of the Buyer thereafter. In the event legal title to any of the Purchased Assets is not transferred at Closing, Seller shall hold such Purchased Assets as nominee for the Buyer until completion of such transfers.

(b) In the event that the legal interest in any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities to be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed hereunder as of the Effective Time because any waiting or notice period has not expired or any consents or approvals required for such transfer have not been obtained or waived, then the legal interest in such Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed unless and until such waiting or notice period shall have expired or until approval, consent or waiver thereof is obtained. Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in obtaining such consents or approvals as may be necessary to complete such transfers as soon as practicable. Neither Parent nor Seller shall be required to pay any consideration to any third party to obtain any such consent. The failure of Seller to obtain any required consents or approvals prior to Closing shall not affect the Buyer’s obligations to close under this Agreement or to pay, or cause to be paid, the Purchase Price. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign to the Buyer any legal interest in any of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities which, as a matter of law or by the terms of any legally binding contract, engagement or commitment to which Seller is subject, is not assignable without the consent of any other party, unless such consent shall have been given.

(c) Pending the assignments, conveyances and transfers referred to in paragraph (b), Seller shall hold any such non-assigned Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities for the benefit and at the risk of the Buyer and shall cooperate with the Buyer in any lawful and reasonable arrangements designed to provide the benefits of ownership thereof to the Buyer.

2.10 Transfer of Assumed Liabilities. As of the Effective Time, the Buyer agrees and undertakes to assume the Assumed Liabilities and to duly and properly perform and discharge the outstanding obligations of Parent and Seller under the Assumed Liabilities.

EMPLOYEES

5.1 Buyer’s Obligations.

(c) Buyer will offer employment to the employees of the Business set forth on Schedule 5.1(a). Any such employee who is offered employment by Buyer and accepts such offer shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Employee.”

(d) For no less than six months following the Closing Date (the “Benefits Period”), Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee with cash compensation and benefits equivalent to their current compensation and benefits; provided, however, that Buyer will have full authority and flexibility to reduce or eliminate compensation based on employee performance or based on company-wide austerity measures.

(e) Severance. Parent, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all required actions necessary to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the possibility that severance benefits and/or Governmental Entity-required termination liabilities shall be payable to a Transferred Employee regardless of whether such Transferred Employee becomes employed by Buyer or one of its Affiliates or accepts Buyer’s or one of its Affiliates’ offer of employment; provided, however, to the extent the payment of severance benefits and/or Governmental Entity-required termination liabilities to any Transferred Employee is required as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consequent transfers of employment, such severance benefits and Governmental Entity-required termination liabilities shall be the responsibility of Buyer and Seller as set forth on Schedule 5.1(c). Except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(c), Buyer shall indemnify Parent, Seller, and their Affiliates and hold them harmless from and against any Losses which may be incurred or suffered by any of them in connection with any claim made by a Transferred Employee, severance payments or termination indemnities triggered for any reason due to a Transferred Employee’s termination or deemed termination of employment on or after the Effective Time for any reason.

(f) Prior Service. Buyer shall grant (or cause its Affiliates to grant) each Transferred Employee credit for years of prior service with Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates or their respective predecessors for all purposes, including the payment of any severance benefits

SL01DOCS\6494934

and benefit accrual, under each “employee benefit plan” (including plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) sponsored or monitored by Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that such credit shall not result in a duplication of benefits. Buyer, Parent and Seller agree to cooperate and exchange such information as is necessary to avoid any such duplication of benefits.

(g) 401(k) Plan.

(i) As of the Effective Time, Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (“Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”). Buyer shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities and other obligations with respect to Buyer’s 401(k) Plan. Each Transferred Employee who was a participant in one or more of the Qualified Plans that are individual account plans as set forth on Schedule 5.1(e)(i) (“Seller’s 401(k) Plan”) shall become a participant in Buyer’s 401(k) Plan as of the Effective Time.

(ii) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer and Parent shall select a date that is mutually agreeable on which Transferred Employees shall be eligible to effect a “direct rollover” (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of their account balances (including participant loans) under Seller’s 401(k) Plan to Buyer’s 401(k) Plan in the form of cash and participant loan notes. Parent and Buyer shall take all actions necessary to permit such rollovers as soon as practicable after the Closing Date including, without limitation, amendment of Buyer’s 401(k) Plan to allow for direct rollovers and continued payment of outstanding participant loans.

(h) Welfare Benefits.

(i) Unless otherwise provided under a Seller Welfare Plan, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Transferred Employee shall cease participation in the welfare benefit plans of Parent and its Affiliates (each, a “Seller Welfare Plan”) and at the Effective Time shall immediately commence participation in the welfare benefit plans maintained, administered or contributed to by Buyer and its Affiliates made available to such Transferred Employees, without any waiting time (to the extent that coverage replaces coverage under a comparable Seller Welfare Plan, in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately prior to Closing).

(ii) For purposes of each welfare benefit plan of Buyer or one of its Affiliates providing medical, dental, and/or pharmaceutical benefits to any Transferred Employee, Buyer shall cause all actively-at-work requirements of such plans to be waived for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents (other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such Transferred Employees and dependents and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time).

(iii) With respect to Benefit Plans in which benefits are subject to co-payments, coinsurance, deductibles or similar employee cost-sharing requirements, Buyer or one of its Affiliates will take any and all required actions necessary with respect to its

SL01DOCS\6494934

corresponding welfare benefit plans to give Transferred Employees full credit for all co-payments, coinsurance, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums satisfied prior to the Effective Time in the same plan year as if the Transferred Employees had maintained continuous coverage under a single welfare benefit plan.

(iv) Buyer shall be responsible for providing any “continuation coverage” required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, for any Transferred Employee and all “qualified beneficiaries” of any Transferred Employee for whom a “qualifying event” occurs before, at or after the Closing Date. The terms “continuation coverage,” “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” shall have the meanings ascribed to them under Section 4980B of the Code.

(v) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall transfer from medical and dependent care account plans of Parent and its Affiliates (each, a “Seller FSA Plan”) to one or more medical and dependent care account plans established or designated by Buyer the account balances of Transferred Employees, and Buyer shall be responsible for the obligations of the Seller FSA Plans to provide benefits to Transferred Employees with respect to such transferred account balances at or after the Effective Time. Each Transferred Employee shall be permitted to continue to have payroll deductions made as most recently elected by him or her under the applicable Seller FSA Plan for the plan year of the Seller FSA Plan in which the Effective Time occurs. Promptly after the Closing Date, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for benefits paid by the Seller FSA Plans to any Transferred Employee prior to the Effective Time to the extent in excess of the payroll deductions made in respect of such Transferred Employee prior to the Effective Time with respect to the Seller FSA Plan’s plan year in which the Effective Time occurs. Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer to Buyer in cash any excess amount credited to the Seller FSA Plan that results from the Transferred Employees’ payroll deductions credited to the Seller FSA Plan exceeding the total amount of benefits that have been paid under the Seller FSA Plan prior to the Effective Time with respect to the Seller FSA Plan’s plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(i) WARN Act. Buyer hereby indemnifies Parent, Seller and their Affiliates against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates with respect to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any similar applicable Law arising as a result of Buyer’s failure to comply with the requirements set forth by this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements.

5.2 Employee Claims.

(a) Benefit Plan Claims. Parent, Seller and their Affiliates shall be responsible for all claims incurred prior to the Effective Time in connection with any Seller Welfare Plan for Transferred Employees and their beneficiaries and dependents.

For purposes of this Section 5.2(a), the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: life, disability, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident

SL01DOCS\6494934

insurance benefits, upon the death, illness, injury or accident giving rise to such benefits; and health or medical, dental, vision care and/or prescription drug benefits, upon provision of such services, materials or supplies.

(b) Workers Compensation Claims. Buyer shall be responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any Transferred Employee that are based upon events or conditions occurring at or after the Effective Time. Parent and Seller shall be responsible for all workers’ compensation claims of any Transferred Employee that are based upon events or conditions occurring prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Other Claims. Buyer shall be responsible for all liabilities in connection with claims not covered by subsection (a) and (b) of this Section 5.2 incurred at or after the Effective Time by Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents including without limitation liabilities under benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates, or otherwise.

5.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No agreement between the Parties nor any action by Parent, Seller, Buyer, or their Affiliates shall be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any employees of Parent, Seller, Buyer or any of their Affiliates, and no Person other than the Parties shall have any rights to enforce any provision hereof.

6.2 Cooperation. On or after the Closing Date, the Parties shall, on request, cooperate with one another by furnishing any additional information, executing and delivering any additional documents and instruments, including contract assignments, and doing any and all such other things as may be reasonably required by the Parties or their counsel to consummate or otherwise implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

If Buyer, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demands, or similar process) or is required by a regulatory body to make any disclosure that is prohibited by this Section 6.3, Buyer will provide Parent with prompt notice (to the extent such notice is not prohibited by law) of such requirement so that Parent may seek (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy. Subject to the foregoing, Buyer, such Affiliate, or such representative, as applicable, may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of such information that Buyer, such Affiliate, or such representative, as applicable, is legally compelled or is otherwise required to disclose.

The Parties agree that any press release to be made in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form agreed to by Parent and Buyer.

6.4 Insurance. The Parties agree that Buyer shall not have the benefit of or access to any insurance policies of Parent, Seller or their Affiliates.

Buyer and Seller shall report and file Tax Returns (including,

SL01DOCS\6494934

but not limited to IRS Form 8594) for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with such allocation and shall take no position inconsistent therewith or contrary thereto, unless required to do so by applicable Law.

(c) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for any Straddle Period with respect to any of the Purchased Assets or the Business. Buyer shall submit all such Straddle Period Tax Returns to Seller for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, and Buyer and Seller agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns.

For purposes of this Section 6.6(c), the portion of such Tax that relates to the Pre-Closing Period shall (x) in the case of any Income Taxes or Taxes based upon or related to employment, sales and use, value added and other non-periodic Taxes be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date and (y) in the case of any periodic Taxes and Taxes other than Taxes in (x) be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practices, policies and Tax Returns of Parent and Seller.

In the event Buyer fails to pay Seller any such amounts due under this Section 6.6(d) within the time period specified, Buyer shall pay, in addition to the amounts due, interest on such amount, compounded annually, calculated using a 365 day year from the date of receipt or entitlement thereto through the date prior to the date of payment at the prime lending rate of JP Morgan Chase Bank as in effect from time to time.

(e) Buyer and Seller agree to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to each other, upon written notice, as promptly as practical, such information (including reasonable access to books and records) and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, preparation of the portion of any financial statement related to Taxes, the conduct of any Tax audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax matter. Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax audit or other Tax proceedings and each shall execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 6.6.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII, Parent and Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising from or as a result of:

(e) any breach, non-fulfillment or violation of the covenants made in this Agreement by Parent or Seller;

(f) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Seller;

(g) the ownership, use or possession of the Excluded Assets;

(h) the Excluded Liabilities; and

(i) any matter set forth on Schedule 7.1.

Any indemnification provided for under this Section 7.1 shall be deemed also to extend to directors, shareholders and officers (in their capacity as such) of Buyer and its Affiliates (in all, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”).

7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Seller against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with, arising from or as a result of:

(d) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement by Buyer;

(e) the ownership, use or possession of the Purchased Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business, occurring prior to, at or after the Effective Time (except, in each such case, to the extent that the Buyer is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1);

SL01DOCS\6494934

(f) the Assumed Liabilities; and

(g) any claim made by a Transferred Employee for any reason due to any Transferred Employee’s termination or deemed termination of employment on or after the Effective Time for any reason.

Any indemnification provided for under this Section 7.2 shall be deemed also to extend to directors, shareholders, officers and employees (in their capacity as such) of Seller and its Affiliates (in all, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”).

7.3 Notice and Payment of Losses. Upon obtaining knowledge of any Loss, any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (the “Injured Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted (such written notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Claim”). If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim of indemnification, it shall notify the Injured Party thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, whereupon the Injured Party and the Indemnifying Party shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim or indemnification. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the Parties first meet to attempt such resolution, either Party may initiate litigation in accordance with this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Injured Party’s claim of indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Injured Party’s Notice of Claim.

7.4 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(h) If an Injured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an Injured Party hereunder) (“Third Person”), the Injured Party shall give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such assertion is actually known to the Injured Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Injured Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Injured Party, to investigate, secure, contest, or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”); provided that the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Injured Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably), except that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to any judgment and/or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Injured Party if such judgment or settlement requires only the payment of money. For the avoidance of doubt, a claim or challenge asserted by a Governmental Entity, including without limitation, the IRS, the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, against an Injured Party shall be considered a Third Person Claim hereunder. The Injured Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Injured Party with respect to such Third Person Claim, the Injured Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter. The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the Notice of Claim within thirty (30) days after

SL01DOCS\6494934

receipt thereof shall be deemed an election not to defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party does not so elect to indemnify and assume the defense of any such Third Person Claim, (a) the Injured Party may defend against such claim, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim, after giving written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Injured Party may deem appropriate; provided that in all cases the Injured Party will not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably), except that the Injured Party shall be entitled to consent to any judgment and/or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if such judgment or settlement does not require the payment of money and (b) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel at its own expense. The Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.

(i) Without limiting the foregoing, if the Injured Party has previously delivered a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party is or was eligible to but has not elected or did not elect to assume control of the defense of such claim, then the Injured Party shall promptly (i) disclose in writing to the Indemnifying Party any material new or materially changed allegations or claims being asserted against the Injured Party in respect of such claim, and (ii) upon request of the Indemnifying Party, provide a written summary of the status of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (all of the information provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such summary discloses a change that is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the “New Facts”). Upon notice of New Facts, the Indemnifying Party shall again have the right, upon written notice to the Injured Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Injured Party, to investigate, secure, contest, or settle the Third Person Claim to which the New Facts relate subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.4(a). The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the New Facts within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof shall be deemed an election not to defend the Third Person Claim to which such New Facts relate.

7.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties made by any Party in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date and thereafter to the extent a Notice of Claim is made within such period with respect to any breach of such representation or warranty occurring within such period and set out in such Notice of Claim, until resolved or judicially determined; provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.2(b) 3.3. 3.6, 3.7(c), 3.13 (the “Seller Fundamental Representations”), 4.1(a) and 4.2 shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the matters set forth therein. No Party shall be entitled to indemnification for breach of any representation and warranty set forth in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV unless a Notice of Claim of such breach has been given to the Indemnifying Party within the period of survival of such representation and warranty as set forth herein.

7.6 Limitation on Indemnification.

SL01DOCS\6494934

(c) The provisions for indemnity under Section 7.1(b) shall be effective only to the extent that the Losses for which indemnification is sought exceed $50,000 (the “Indemnification Deductible”), in which case the Injured Party shall be entitled to indemnification of the Injured Party’s Losses only in excess thereof.

(d) The indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 7.1(b) shall be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price.

(e) All indemnification obligations shall be paid in U.S. Dollars in the United States.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder:

(i) to the extent any Loss arises from actions taken or not taken by Buyer or on behalf of Buyer, or any event or occurrence occurring, after Closing;

(ii) for any Taxes attributable to Post-Closing Periods.

(g) Each Party hereby agrees that it shall, and it shall cause its Affiliates to, use its or their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses to be indemnified under this ARTICLE VII upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that may be indemnifiable hereunder. If an Injured Party mitigates its Losses after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Injured Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of such Losses, the Injured Party must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party and promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Injured Party of that mitigation (less the Injured Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) within two (2) Business Days after the benefit is received.

(h) An Injured Party’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, respectively, will be reduced by the amount payable by a third party (including an insurance company), or paid by such third party to another for the account or benefit of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, with respect to the settlement or resolution of a claim for which Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, was entitled to indemnification hereunder. Buyer shall pursue recovery from such third parties and under all insurance policies available to it prior to seeking indemnification from Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE VII and is not entitled to the indemnification rights contained in this ARTICLE VII until all rights against third parties have been pursued in good faith. Buyer shall remit to Seller any such insurance or other third party proceeds that are paid to Buyer with respect to Losses for which Buyer has been previously compensated pursuant to Section 7.1.

7.7 Characterization and Calculation of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered, to the extent permissible under Law, as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

7.8 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies set forth in this ARTICLE VII shall provide the exclusive remedy for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty set forth

SL01DOCS\6494934

in this Agreement, any other agreement ancillary hereto executed pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than (i) claims based on fraud or (ii) claims under the Note. Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders and Affiliates expressly waive any and all rights and remedies against Seller under Environmental Laws. The Parties may not avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this ARTICLE VII by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory or liability.

7.9 Certain Damages. In no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Persons be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement (including amounts indemnifiable under Sections 7.1) be deemed to include, consequential, incidental or indirect damages, lost profits or punitive, special or exemplary damages and, in particular, damages calculated by “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology.
