(b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”) in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any or all of the Claimed Amount and the basis for such dispute (in such an event, the Response shall be referred to as an “Objection Notice”). If no Response is delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the entire Claimed Amount shall be payable to the Indemnified Party and such Claimed Amount shall, subject toSection 6.4(e), be promptly paid to Purchaser or Seller, as applicable.
(c) In the event that the parties are unable to agree on whether Adverse Consequences exist or on the amount of such Adverse Consequences within the 30-day period after receipt of an Objection Notice, either Purchaser or Seller may (but are not required to do so) petition or file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of such dispute.
(d) In the event that the Indemnified Party is entitled, or is seeking to assert rights, to indemnification under thisArticle VI relating to a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any suit or other legal proceeding relating to such third-party claim. Such notification shall be given within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such suit or proceeding, shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by such third party (to the extent then in the possession of the Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed Adverse Consequences, if then known;
- 46 -
provided, however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Adverse Consequences that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such suit or proceeding constitute Adverse Consequences for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified pursuant to thisArticle VI, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding (A) involving criminal liability, (B) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Party, (C) in which increased statutory, enhanced or treble damages are sought based on willful misconduct or (D) with respect to which the Indemnified Party has reasonably determined that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct or defense of such third-party claim or (y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that an Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the conduct of the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding or any proposed settlement of any such claim, suit or proceeding by the Indemnifying Party could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s Tax liability or the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business (including relationships with Governmental Authorities, customers, suppliers or other Persons with whom the Indemnified Party conducts business), the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement or negotiations relating to any such claim, suit or proceeding at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party may control such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by the results obtained in good faith by the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

6.4 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Determination of Adverse Consequences.
(a) Except as set forth inSection 6.4(b), the representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement and the certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, at which time such representations and warranties and any right to make an indemnification claim based thereon will terminate. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the documents and certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date in accordance with their terms.
(b) The representations and warranties of Seller containedSection 4.18 (Environmental Matters),Section 4.19 (Employee Benefit Plans) andSection 4.21 (Taxes) (collectively, the “Statute of Limitation Representations”), shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations plus thirty (30) days, at which time such representations and warranties and any right to make an indemnification claim based thereon shall terminate. The representations and warranties of Seller contained inSection 4.1(b) (Capitalization),Section 4.2 (Authority),Section 4.3 (No Violation and Consents),Section 4.4 (Brokers),Section 4.7 (Title to Purchased Assets) andSections 4.10(a)(ii) and (a)(iii),(d) and(e) (Marine Assets), and of Purchaser contained inSection 5.2 (Authorization),Section 5.3 (No Violation) andSection 5.6 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Critical Representations”), shall survive indefinitely.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Indemnified Party in good faith delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice.
(d) The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Purchaser or by reason of any facts or circumstances that Purchaser (or any of its representatives) knew or should have known.
(e) Purchaser shall have set-off rights as set forth inSection 6.6.
(f) For all purposes under thisArticle VI, the qualification “in all material respects” as used inSection 4.19 shall be disregarded in each instance in which it appears and the applicable representations and warranties construed as if no such qualification was included.
6.5 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.
(a) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Adverse Consequences arising underSection 6.1(a) (other than the Critical Representations and the Statute of Limitation Representations) until the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences thereunder exceeds Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), in which event Seller shall be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for all Adverse Consequences including the amount under such threshold.
- 48 -
(b) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Adverse Consequences arising underSection 6.1(a) (other than the Critical Representations and the Statute of Limitation Representations) in excess of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars $4,500,000.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification with respect to Adverse Consequences arising underSections 6.1(b)-(f), the Critical Representations or the Statute of Limitation Representations, or based upon fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, shall not be subject to the limitations set forth inSections 6.4,6.5(a) and6.5(b).
(d) Any Adverse Consequences of an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by any Tax Benefit that the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates actually realizes as a result of incurring the Adverse Consequences. A “Tax Benefit” shall equal the actual reduction in income Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates realized in the year that the Adverse Consequences would be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes (computed after taking into account the income Tax consequences of receiving the indemnity payment). The Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any subsequent disallowance or loss of a Tax Benefit that has resulted in a reduction to the Adverse Consequences payable by the Indemnifying Party under thisArticle VI.
(e) In the event an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds with respect to Adverse Consequences for which the Indemnified Party has made an indemnification claim prior to the date on which the Indemnifying Party is required pursuant to thisArticle VI to pay such indemnification claim, the indemnification claim shall be reduced by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (the “Shared Insurance Proceeds”). If such insurance proceeds are received by the Indemnified Party after the date on which the Indemnifying Party has satisfied such indemnification claim by payment or set-off, (a) if such indemnification claim was satisfied by set-off under the Seller Note and the Seller Note remains outstanding, the principal outstanding on the Seller Note shall be deemed automatically increased by the amount of the Shared Insurance Proceeds as of the date of Purchaser’s receipt of such insurance proceeds, or (b) if such indemnification claim was satisfied by set-off against an Earnout Payment or by the payment of money, the Indemnified Party shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such insurance proceeds, reimburse the Indemnifying Party in an amount equal to the Shared Insurance Proceeds.
(f) The indemnification provided in thisArticle VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy and recourse for monetary damages for any matter arising out of this Agreement, other than any matter arising out of fraud.
(g) Any indemnity payments made pursuant to thisArticle VI shall be treated for all income Tax purposes by the parties hereto as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(h) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have no obligation under thisArticle VI with respect to the repairs, maintenance and deficiencies described inSection 4.8 of the Disclosure Schedule or inSection 4.10(c) of the Disclosure Schedule.
- 49 -
6.6 Set-Off. If Seller is obligated to indemnify Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnitee for any indemnification claim in accordance withArticle VI, Purchaser may set-off the amount of such claim against any amounts payable by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement, including the Earnout Payments or the Seller Note, as the same becomes due; provided, however, that Purchaser agrees that it shall seek satisfaction of any indemnification claim underSection 6.1(a) in the following order: first, by exhausting its set-off rights under the Seller Note; second, by exhausting its set-off rights against any Earnout Payments that have been earned but not yet paid at the time of such indemnification claim; third, by exhausting its set-off rights against any other payments due to Seller hereunder at the time of such indemnification claim; and finally, by recourse to Seller or either Shareholder (including any successors thereto or heirs or estates thereof). If Purchaser intends to set-off any amount hereunder, Purchaser shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller of its intention to do so, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor (a “Set-Off Notice”). If, within ten (10) days of its receipt of a Set-Off Notice, Seller provides Purchaser with written notice of Seller’s dispute with Purchaser’s right to make such set-off, Purchaser and Seller (and their respective representatives and advisors) shall meet (which may be accomplished telephonically) in good faith within five (5) days to attempt to resolve their dispute. If such dispute remains unresolved despite Purchaser’s good faith attempt to meet with Seller and resolve such dispute, Purchaser may set-off under thisSection 6.6 only (a) with respect to those indemnifications claims that have been Finally Determined (as defined below), (b) as described in the following sentence or (c) with the prior written consent of Seller. In the event of a dispute with respect to any indemnification claim against Seller made in good faith pursuant to thisArticle VI, and the liability for and amount of Adverse Consequences therefor, Purchaser may, in its reasonable discretion, withhold any payments due to Seller under this Agreement, including the Earnout Payments or the Seller Note, up to the amount of the disputed amount, but only if Purchaser deposits such withheld amounts into escrow in accordance with a Set-Off Indemnity Escrow Agreement, provided that (i) if Seller refuses to execute and deliver the Set-Off Indemnity Escrow Agreement promptly upon written request by Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to retain the withheld amount until the earlier of Seller’s execution and delivery of a Set-Off Indemnity Escrow Agreement or resolution of the dispute and (ii) in no event may Purchaser set-off against amounts payable under the Seller Note an aggregate amount in excess of Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Finally Determined” shall mean with respect to any indemnification claim made, and the Liability for and amount of Adverse Consequences therefor, when the parties to such claim have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a judgment has been issued by a court having proper jurisdiction.
ARTICLE VII
Employee Matters
7.1 Employees to be Hired by Purchaser.
(a) Purchaser will offer employment to all current active employees of Seller (other than Lawrence W. Matteson), which employment is to be effective as of the Effective Time. With respect to bargaining unit employees of Seller, the terms of their employment will be subject to Purchaser’s ability to negotiate or implement new or modified wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment with the appropriate authorized collective bargaining

(c) Seller shall be solely responsible for any severance claims or any other benefits, claims or causes of action asserted by any employee of the Business not hired by Purchaser at Closing. In addition, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any Adverse Consequences Purchaser suffers resulting from any claim by the Transferred Employees that the transaction gives rise to a right to receive severance payments or any such other benefits.
(d) As of the Closing, Seller shall have paid any amounts due and payable to any Transferred Employees as of the Closing, including the payment of any accrued vacation, leave and/or bonus (or any portion thereof earned as of the Closing).
(e) Transferred Employees (and, where applicable, their eligible dependents) shall be:
(i) eligible to participate in a group health plan (within the meaning of Section 5000(b) of the Code) as of the Closing Date without regard to or application of any pre-existing condition, exclusion or limitation;
(ii) given credit under a Welfare Plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) adopted or maintained by Purchaser for their service with Seller for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability or good health requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations; and
(iii) given credit for past service with Seller for (x) eligibility and vesting purposes in Purchaser’s qualified plans that are Pension Plans (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), except that Transferred Employees shall not receive such credit for satisfying the three-year vesting period for the profit-sharing portion of Purchaser’s 401(k) plan, and (y) determining entitlement to vacation.
- 51 -
(f) Purchaser shall cause the appropriate tax-qualified defined contribution plan established or maintained by Purchaser to accept eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from Transferred Employees with respect to any account balances distributed to them from Seller’s tax-qualified Benefit Plans. The distributions described herein shall comply with applicable Laws, and each party shall make all filings and take any actions required of such party under applicable Laws in connection therewith.
(g) The provisions of thisSection 7.1 are a covenant between Purchaser and Seller and shall not, in any manner, create any contractual right of employment for any employee of Seller or any Transferred Employee.
7.2 Workers’ Compensation, Medical Claims and Retirees.
(a) Seller shall remain solely responsible for Liability arising from workers’ compensation claims, both medical and disability, or other government-mandated programs which are based on injuries occurring prior to Closing regardless of when such claims are filed. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such claims of Transferred Employees based on injuries occurring after Closing.
(b) Seller shall remain solely responsible in accordance with its employee welfare benefit plans for the satisfaction of all claims for medical, dental, life insurance, health, accident or disability benefits brought by or in respect of employees of the Business under any of Seller’s welfare benefit plans which claims relate to events or injuries incurred prior to the Closing regardless of when such claim was filed.
(c) As of the Closing, with respect to former and retired employees of the Business who had terminated employment or retired on or prior to the Closing, Seller shall be liable for all Liabilities in connection with claims for benefits brought by or in respect of such former or retired employees of the Business under any of Seller’s welfare benefit plans with respect to medical, dental, life insurance, health, accident or disability benefits or otherwise.
ARTICLE VIII
Certain Other Agreements
8.1 Post Closing Access to Record. Purchaser and Seller shall provide each other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other in connection with the preparation of any return or report of Taxes, any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority, any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liabilities for Taxes, or for any other reasonable purpose (including any litigation or claim by or with any third party in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Business as conducted on or prior to the Closing Date). Such assistance shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of material provided hereunder and shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns and supporting material and available relevant documents, books and records. The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the assisting party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing assistance. Purchaser and Seller will retain for the full period of any statute of limitations and provide the others with any records or information which may be relevant to such preparation, audit, examination, proceeding or determination.

8.2 Consents Not Obtained at Closing.
(a) Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser at or prior to the Closing such consents as are required to allow the assignment by Seller to Purchaser of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under any Contract included in the Purchased Assets. To the extent any Contract or Government Contract is not capable of being assigned without the consent or waiver of the other party thereto or any third party (including any Governmental Authority), or if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Law or Order, neither this Agreement nor the Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement shall constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment of such Contract.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement to the contrary, Seller is not obligated to transfer to Purchaser any of its rights and obligations in and to any Contract or Government Contract without first having obtained all necessary consents and waivers. After the Closing Date, Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, and Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller at Seller’s expense, to obtain any consents and waivers necessary to convey to Purchaser all Contracts intended to be included in the Purchased Assets.
(c) If any such consents and waivers are not obtained with respect to any Contract, the Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement shall constitute an equitable assignment by Seller to Purchaser of all of Seller’s rights, benefits, title and interest in and to such Contract (excluding any Government Contract), to the extent permitted by Law, and Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Seller’s agent for the purpose of completing, fulfilling and discharging all of Seller’s rights and liabilities arising after the Closing Date under such Contract; provided that Purchaser shall undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefits to the extent Purchaser would have been responsible therefor if such consent or approval had been obtained.
8.3 Novation of Government Contracts.
(a) With respect to each Government Contract and Government Subcontract, promptly after the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain the written consent of the other parties to each such Government Contract and Government Subcontract for the assignment or novation thereof to Purchaser or written confirmation from such parties that such consent is not required. With respect to any Government Contracts or Government Subcontracts that are not assigned or novated to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, the performance obligations of Seller thereunder shall, unless prohibited by such Government Contract or Government Subcontract, be performed by Purchaser in accordance with thisSection 8.3, until such Contracts have been assigned or novated, including through a subcontract or similar arrangement; provided, however, that with respect to any Government Contract or Government Subcontract under which Seller must obtain prior consent to Purchaser’s performance thereunder, Purchaser and Seller shall use their best efforts to obtain such consent
- 53 -
and, until such consent is obtained, shall cooperate in an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller under which Purchaser would obtain, to the extent practicable, the claims, rights and benefits, including all contract revenue, and assume the corresponding obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) As soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.12, and with the cooperation of Seller, submit in writing to each Responsible Contracting Officer (as such term is defined in FAR 42.1202(a)), a request (the “Request”) for the United States Government to recognize Purchaser as Seller’s successor in interest to the Government Contracts, which are to be sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement. Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser such information as shall be required from Seller pursuant to FAR 42.1204(e)-(f) or otherwise reasonably requested by the Responsible Contracting Officer for the purpose of enabling Purchaser to submit the Request and prepare, execute and deliver to the United States Government a novation agreement (the “Novation Agreement”), as required by FAR 42.12, to effectuate the novation of the Government Contracts from Seller to Purchaser.
(c) With respect to Government Contracts not held by the United States Government, Purchaser shall, with the cooperation of Seller and as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, submit in writing to each Contracting Officer any requests or notifications necessary for the Governmental Authority to recognize Purchaser as Seller’s successor in interest to the Government Contracts, which are to be sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement. Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser such information as shall be required from Seller or otherwise reasonably requested by the Governmental Authority for the purpose of enabling Purchaser to submit any request or notification, and to prepare, execute and deliver to the Governmental Authority a novation agreement, assignment, or other document to effectuate the novation, consent, waiver or confirmation of such Government Contracts from Seller to Purchaser.
(d) With respect to each Government Subcontract, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and with the cooperation of Seller, submit documentation seeking the written waiver or approval of the other contracting party to the transfer and assignment of such Government Subcontract, as necessary.
(e) Seller and Purchaser shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and waivers required for the purpose of processing, entering into and completing the consents, Novation Agreements, and assignments described in thisSection 8.3, including responding to any requests for information by the Governmental Authority or prime contractor with regard to the consents, Novation Agreements or assignments, as applicable.
- 54 -
8.4 Performance of Government Contracts Pending Novation.
(a) The period between the Closing Date and the granting of novation and assignments of all Government Contracts or Government Subcontracts shall be known as the “Interim Period.”
(b) During the Interim Period:
(i) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in a lawful and commercially reasonable manner to (A) enable Purchaser to receive the economic benefits under the Government Contracts or Government Subcontracts in connection with its performance of such Contracts during the Interim Period, and (B) enable Seller to be relieved from its obligations and burdens in connection with performance of the Government Contracts or Government Subcontracts during the Interim Period;
(ii) Seller shall not take any action or omit to take any action that would frustrate the intent of, or prevent Purchaser from performing its obligations under, or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Government Contracts and Government Subcontracts;
(iii) Neither party shall amend any Government Contract or Government Subcontract in any material respect without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of the intent and objectives of the parties as contemplated by this Section;
(iv) Seller will enforce, at the reasonable request of and for the benefit of Purchaser, any and all claims, rights, benefits of Seller against any third party arising from any Government Contract or Government Subcontract; and
(v) Seller will promptly pay to Purchaser, when received, all monies received by Seller under any Government Contract or Government Subcontract or any claim, right or benefit arising under any such Contracts.
8.5 Failure to Obtain Consent. If any novation, consent, waiver or confirmation is not obtained with respect to any Government Contract or Government Subcontract, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller under which Purchaser would obtain, to the extent practicable and permitted, the claims, rights and benefits and assume the corresponding obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing or sub-leasing to Purchaser, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming Seller’s obligations, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Seller against a third party thereto. Purchaser shall not be required to enter into any arrangement that would impose any additional cost, expense or liability upon Purchaser or that would deprive Purchaser of any benefits or profits arising out of the Purchased Asset in question.
8.6 Avoidance of Double Withholding Taxes. With respect to employment Tax matters (i) Purchaser shall assume Seller’s entire obligation to prepare, file and furnish IRS Form W-2s with respect to the Transferred Employees for the year including the Closing Date;
- 55 -
(ii) Seller and Purchaser shall agree to elect the “predecessor-successor” basis with respect to each Transferred Employee pursuant to the alternative procedure prescribed by Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 34 I.R.B 320; and (iii) Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to adopt similar procedures under applicable wage payment, reporting and withholding Laws for all Transferred Employees in all appropriate jurisdictions. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any Taxes incurred by Purchaser as a result of assuming Seller’s obligations to prepare and file IRS Form W-2s that result from Seller’s failure to comply with appropriate employment Tax matters.
8.7 Bulk Sale Waiver and Indemnity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no filings with respect to any bulk sales or similar laws have been made, nor are they intended to be made, nor are such filings a condition precedent to the Closing; and, in consideration of such waiver by Purchaser, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser Indemnitees harmless against any Adverse Consequences (but not including any Current Liabilities included in the Final Net Working Capital) resulting or arising from such waiver and failure to comply with applicable bulk sales laws upon presentment of appropriate documentation.
8.8 Post-Closing Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, the Seller Parties will treat and hold as confidential all of the Confidential Information and shall refrain from using any of the Confidential Information. In the event that any Seller Party is requested or required pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigation demand, or similar process to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller Party will notify Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of thisSection 8.8. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Seller Party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, then such Seller Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal;provided,however, that it shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of Purchaser, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate.
8.9 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a) Non-Competition. Each Seller Party hereby acknowledges that it is familiar with the trade secrets of the Business and other Confidential Information. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser and its Affiliates would be irreparably damaged if such Seller Party were to provide services or to otherwise participate in the business of any Person competing with the Business or in a similar business and that any such competition by such Seller Party would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Purchaser in respect of the Business. Each Seller Party further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in thisSection 8.9 were a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that Purchaser and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if any Seller Party breached the provisions of thisSection 8.9. Therefore, in further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, each Seller Party agrees that for the period
- 56 -
beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date such Seller Party shall not, and shall cause it or his Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, either for himself, herself, itself or through any other Person, engage in, render service to, participate in, or permit such Person’s name to be used by any enterprise engaging in, any business or enterprise (including any division, group or franchise of a larger organization) that competes with the Business as conducted as of the Closing Date in the Geographical Area;provided,however, that this restriction shall not prohibit such Seller Party from (x) passive beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of any class of securities of a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, (y) providing harbor, fleeting and towing services through MMS or (z) leasing barges owned by a Seller Party to third parties. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as a shareholder, member, partner, joint venturer, investor, lender, franchisor, franchisee, executive, consultant or otherwise or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any Person. Each Seller Party agrees that this covenant is reasonably designed to protect the Purchaser’s substantial investment and is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope.
(b) Non-Solicitation/No Hire.
