Not less than sixty (60) days after Closing, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, submit to each of the relevant state taxing authorities voluntary disclosure requests or the applicable equivalent for the purpose of mitigating exposure for Seller’s unfiled and/or unpaid pre-Closing state Taxes. Upon written request of the Purchaser, Seller shall provide reasonably detailed updates with respect to any pending voluntary disclosures. Seller shall give Purchaser at least ten (10) days’ notice prior to (a) the initial substantive submission of any corrective tax action (e.g., a voluntary disclosure request or its equivalent) and (b) the settlement of any state Tax obligation. During such 10-day period, Seller shall, upon the request of Purchaser, consult with the Purchaser and consider in good faith any reasonable comments Purchaser timely proposes with respect to the initial substantive submission of any voluntary disclosure or similar corrective tax action or the settlement of any state Tax obligation. Purchaser agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Seller, upon reasonable request and at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or Action relating to any Tax; and provided that any payment or reimbursement to Purchaser in connection with its furnishing of any such information or assistance shall be at a rate equal to the actual out-of-pocket expense incurred by Purchaser in connection therewith. Such information and assistance shall include providing reasonable access to all of the Business Records delivered to Purchaser at Closing; provided that such access or assistance does not interfere in any material respect with the operation of the Company’s Business or the Acquired Assets following the Closing.

Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be required at any time to disclose to the other party any Tax Returns or other confidential tax information unrelated to the ownership or operation of the Acquired Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not make any election with respect to Taxes that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of increasing the tax liability of Purchaser for any taxable period (or portion thereof), including successor liability, without the express, prior written permission of the Purchaser. All Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Company’s Business or the Acquired Assets shall be filed by the party with the legal obligation to do so. If Taxes associated with any such Tax Return are required to be paid by the non-filing party, such Tax Return shall be presented to such party with a calculation of the portion of such Taxes owed and such amount shall be paid to the non-filing party promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after such Tax Return is presented to such filing party. If there is a disagreement between the parties as to the proper calculation of such Taxes, the parties shall cooperate in good faith in the settlement of such dispute.

Section 7.2Transfer Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp and registration Taxes incurred in connection with the Transaction (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser when due. The parties hereto shall cooperate in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes, including joining in the execution of such Tax Returns. Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets from any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 7.3Treatment of Payments. All amounts paid under this Article VII shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be treated for all purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 7.4Sales Tax on Acquired Assets. Purchaser shall complete form AU-196.10 and submit same to the Bulk Sales Division. For the avoidance of doubt, New York State and applicable local (e.g., Woodbury, New York) sales taxes are applicable only to that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the sale of Seller’s trade fixtures and equipment (and not inventory acquired for resale, real property, or intangible assets (including goodwill)) pursuant to Section 7.5. Sales tax due as it relates to the bulk assets acquired herein shall be paid by Purchaser.

Section 7.5Tax Allocation. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) will be allocated among the Acquired Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as set forth on Exhibit J attached hereto (the “Allocation Schedule”), which sets forth the parties’ good faith allocation pursuant to the methodology prescribed by Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of applicable Law). All income Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser and Seller relating to the Acquired Assets shall be prepared consistently with the Allocation Schedule and none of the parties hereto shall take a position inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. Neither Purchaser nor Seller will take any position in audits or Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, that is inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule; provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Purchaser may use an alternate allocation for internal financial reporting purposes.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a)The representations and warranties of the Seller Parties and Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or in any Transaction Document, shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (i) the Seller Fundamental Representations, the Stockholder Fundamental Representations and the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force until the date that is six (6) years following the Closing Date; (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.17 and Section 3.20 shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations related thereto; and (iii) claims for fraud shall survive until the applicable statute of limitations has expired. The survival period of each representation or warranty as provided in this Section 8.1(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Survival Period.”

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective Survival Periods supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

(c)All covenants and undertakings shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary, the foregoing limitation in this Section 8.1 shall not limit or prevent any Purchaser Indemnified Party from asserting any claim under the R&W Insurance Policy, or recovering therefrom.

Section 8.2Indemnification.

(a)Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, each Stockholder (on a pro rata basis in accordance with his, her or its Equity Ownership Percentage, and not jointly with respect to other Stockholders) and Seller (jointly and severally with the Stockholders (in the aggregate, but with respect to each Stockholder, in accordance with the preceding portion of this sentence)) shall indemnify and defend Purchaser and each of its officers, directors, employees, partners, members, agents and Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(i)a breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Article III of this Agreement or a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iv)-(vi) or Section 2.7(a)(ix);

(ii)(A) any failure by Seller to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by Seller, (B) any action or omission by the Seller hereunder, and/or (C) any failure by Seller to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by Seller at any time;

(iii)all Taxes (A) of Seller and/or any of its Affiliates, (B) relating to the Acquired Assets or arising out of the Company’s Business prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent (and then only to the extent) of Taxes actually included as a liability in the final determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.8, (C) of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which Seller (or any predecessor of Seller) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law, (D) that are Excluded Liabilities, and (E) imposed on any Person arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring, or any period of time, before the Closing;

(iv)any Specified Tax Matters;

(v)any Indebtedness that relates to any pre-Closing period and remains outstanding following the Closing;

(b)Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, each Stockholder shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and defend each of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(i)a breach of any of the representations or warranties made by such Stockholder in Article IV of this Agreement; and/or

(ii)any failure by such Stockholder to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by such Stockholder at any time.

(i)a breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser in Article V of this Agreement or a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(vii) or Section 2.7(b)(viii); and/or

(ii)any failure by the Purchaser to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by Purchaser at any time.

Section 8.3Limitations on Liability; R&W Insurance Policy; Claims Procedure.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i)The indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties for General Claims shall not apply until the aggregate amount of all Losses arising therefrom exceed $375,000 (an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the R&W Insurance Policy Retention Amount) (such 50% amount, the “Retention Split Amount”). The Seller Parties shall be liable for Losses with respect to General Claims in excess of the Retention Split Amount, but subject to a maximum aggregate liability amount equal to the General Representations Cap Amount.

(ii)Any Losses with respect to General Claims in excess of the Retention Split Amount shall be recovered (x) first, from the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account, and (y) thereafter, to the extent that any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount initially held in the Escrow Account has been released to satisfy any indemnification obligation other than for a General Claim, that portion may be recovered from the Seller Parties directly as set forth below.

(iii)In the event that any amounts are recovered from the Indemnity Escrow and/or the R&W Insurance Policy with respect to any claim for indemnification other than with respect to a General Claim (such amounts, collectively, the “Fundamental R&W Recovery Amount”), then the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for any indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties for General Claims from the Seller Parties directly up to, and to the extent of, the Fundamental R&W Recovery Amount.

(iv)Purchaser and the Seller Parties acknowledge that Purchaser has obtained the R&W Insurance Policy for coverage of the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(a)(vii) and Section 8.2(b)(i) without regard to the Cap Amounts.

(v)With respect to claims for Losses pursuant to indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties set forth in Section 8.2(a)(i) (related to a claim for breach of Seller Fundamental Representations and/or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.20 (Tax Matters)) and Section 8.2(b)(i) (related to a claim for breach of Stockholder Fundamental Representations), the indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties for all such claims asserted by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be subject to a maximum liability amount not to exceed the Fundamental Representations Cap Amount.

(b)The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (other than the R&W Insurance Policy) with respect to such Losses (net of any costs to recover such insurance payments and net of any premium increases related thereto). The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be calculated net of any Tax benefits actually realized by Purchaser or Seller in the taxable period that includes the indemnity payment (solely through a reduction in cash Tax payments required to be made or an increase in Tax refunds actually received), which Tax benefits shall be calculated net of any cash Tax costs, in each case, as a result of the Losses or receipt of an indemnity payment on a claim therefor.

(c)Notwithstanding the fact that any Indemnified Party may have the right to assert claims of Losses for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Losses suffered by such Indemnified Party more than once, regardless of whether such Losses may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to recover under the R&W Insurance Policy and under Article VI, the remedies provided in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive monetary remedies of the parties and their heirs, successors and assigns after the Closing with respect to a claim of Losses relating to this Agreement or the Transaction, whether direct or resulting from any claim brought by a third-party, except that no provision of this Agreement (including this Article VIII) shall limit in any way a party’s ability to bring, recover for or otherwise limit the amount or type of recovery available for claims of fraudulent conduct, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by any Seller Party, in any which case the parties shall have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and available under any Law.

(e)For purposes of this Article VIII, a party making a claim of Losses for indemnity under Section 8.2 is referred to as an “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claim is asserted is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All claims by any Indemnified Party under Section 8.2 shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with the following provisions. If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand stating with reasonable specificity the nature of each individual item of Loss included in such claim, the date (if any) such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced or to the extent that any applicable Survival Period set forth in Section 8.1(a) has expired without such notice being given. Subject to the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy, after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, then upon reasonable notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, may defend, manage and conduct any proceedings, negotiations or communications involving any claimant whose claim is the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice to the Indemnifying Party as set forth above. The legal fees and expenses of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, and other related costs, associated with the foregoing defense and other actions with respect to such a claim shall constitute Losses of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified against by the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations of this Article VIII. Upon the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent it may legally do so and to the extent that it is reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses thereby incurred, (i) take such action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such action, (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party to dispute such action in the name of the Indemnified Party and to conduct a defense to such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) render to the Indemnifying Party all such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such dispute and defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to undertake the defense, compromise and settlement of any Third-Party Claim if: (A) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any fraud, criminal matter, or indictment; (B) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (C) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third-Party Claim would be materially detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of such Indemnified Party’s Affiliates; (D) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the Third-Party Claim; (E) the underlying matter involves a customer or supplier of Purchaser or Seller; (F) the Indemnified Party reasonably shall have concluded (upon the advice of its counsel) that (1) there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party or other Indemnified Parties that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or (2) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may have different, conflicting or adverse legal positions or interests; or (G) Losses have exceeded the R&W Insurance Policy Retention Amount and the defense of such matter is assumed by the insurance company providing insurance under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(f)For purposes of determining whether any representation or warranty was breached, and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses from such a breach, the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be considered without regard to any “material,” “Material Adverse Effect”, “in all material respects” or similar qualifications set forth therein.

Section 8.4Escrow.

(a)With respect to any payment that the Seller Parties are obligated to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(a)(vii) or Section 8.2(b)(i), such payment shall be paid first from the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account by release of such funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. To the extent any amounts that the Seller Parties are obligated to pay to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII in respect of claims under Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(a)(vii) or Section 8.2(b)(i) exceed the then remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account, any such excess amounts (all of which shall be subject to the Cap Amounts and the other provisions and limitation of this Article VIII) shall be satisfied by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Seller Parties within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(b)With respect to any payment that the Seller Parties are obligated to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv), such payment shall be paid first from the remaining portion of the SALT Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account by release of such funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. To the extent any amounts that the Seller Parties are obligated to pay to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII in respect of claims under Section 8.2(a)(iv) exceed the then remaining portion of the SALT Escrow Amount then held in the Escrow Account, any such excess amounts shall be satisfied by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Seller Parties within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

Section 8.5Purchase Price Adjustment. All amounts paid under this Article VIII (including any payment received by Purchaser under the R&W Insurance Policy) shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Information provided in the Disclosure Schedule is provided in respect of this Agreement as a whole, and shall be present in all sections to which such information relates notwithstanding its actual inclusion in a different section, regardless of whether cross-referenced.

Section 9.4Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.5Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

The section numbers in the Disclosure Schedules correspond to the section numbers of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and any matter, information or item disclosed in any particular section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules shall constitute a disclosure only with respect to the specific representation or warranty (or, as applicable, portion or subsection of the applicable specific representation or warranty) to which such Disclosure Schedule relates; provided, that any information disclosed therein under any section number of the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section number of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent, but only to the extent, that based on the reading of such disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules (without reading any other disclosures or the benefit of any other facts, knowledge, investigation or information) it is readily apparent that such disclosure directly relates to another representation or warranty contained herein. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or to create any covenant. Inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules (i) does not represent a determination that such item is material or establish a standard of materiality, (ii) does not represent a determination that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item. The Disclosure Schedules may include brief descriptions or summaries of certain agreements and instruments, but such descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the documents described, true and complete copies of which have been provided to the Purchasers or their respective counsel.

Any agreement by any party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if, and to the extent that, set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any such power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

Section 9.11Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(b)ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTION MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN NASSAU COUNTY, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (1) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (2) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (3) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (4) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.11(c).
