a. | any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or non-fulfillment of any covenant on part of Doug under this agreement or any other agreement, certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished to Company under this agreement; |
b. | any Claim related to the Business that existed prior to and on the Closing Date; |

20. | Notice of Claim.
