Section 2.3. DC Lease Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.1. and 2.2, with respect to that certain Lease Agreement by and between SP4 1501 M Street, L.P. and Seller dated July 2007 (the “DC Lease Agreement”), subject to obtaining the Consent of the landlord thereunder, Seller agrees to assign, and Buyer agrees to assume, the DC Lease Agreement, provided, however, that, in connection with such assignment and assumption of the DC Lease Agreement, on the Closing Date, Parent or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay to Buyer, in immediately available U.S. funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Buyer, an amount equal to Two Hundred Eighty Six Thousand U.S. Dollars ($286,000), which represents Six Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($600,000) less One Hundred and Ninety Four Thousand U.S. Dollars ($194,000) (an amount equal to the security deposit for the DC Lease Agreement) and further less One Hundred and Twenty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($120,000) (an amount equal to the sublease payments due and owing under the existing sub-lease agreement related to the DC Lease Agreement for that certain twelve (12) month period of time commencing after the Closing Date) (the “DC Lease Payment”) in consideration for Parent’s or Seller’s, as the case may be, right to occupy, for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date, such portion of the leased premises currently occupied by Buyer and GlobalOptions International.

ARTICLE III.

PURCHASE

Section 3.1. Purchase Price. The consideration for the Property shall consist of the following (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), but in no event shall the maximum amounts to be paid by Buyer to Parent or Seller, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.1 and, to the extent applicable, Section 3.3 (exclusive of Assumed Liabilities), exceed Twenty-two Million U.S. Dollars ($22,000,000):

(a) Buyer is assuming the Assumed Liabilities;

(b) Buyer is paying to Seller, via wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated in writing by Seller, an amount equal to the sum of (i) Ten Million U.S. Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Cash Consideration”) plus (ii) an amount equal to Six Thousand U.S. Dollars ($6,000) (the “Arkansas Security Deposit Consideration”), representing the security deposits currently held by the landlord pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement, as amended, by and between SRM Properties, LLC and James Lee Witt Associates, a part of Global Options Group, Inc. dated September 15, 2006 (the “Arkansas Lease Agreement”) less the DC Lease Payment; and

(c) If the Revenues (as hereinafter defined) earned by the Business during the twelve (12) month period commencing as of the Closing Date and terminating on the one year anniversary thereof (the “Earnout Period”) exceed Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), then Buyer shall be required to pay to Seller forty percent (40%) of any such excess (such amount, the “Earnout Payment”); provided, however, that Seller acknowledges and agrees that the total sum of the Earnout Payment to be paid by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) shall, in no event, exceed Twelve Million U.S. Dollars ($12,000,000). As used herein, “Revenue” means any revenues earned by the Business during the Earnout Period. As used herein “pass through revenues” mean any out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, travel and entertainment expenses, incurred by the Business and which are billed by the Business to its customers and clients at cost, and any revenues arising from or related to the Business’ activities in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of Rhode Island which have not been subject to any cost mark-up which are paid by the Business to its teaming partners and subcontractors. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the calculation of Revenues nor the Threshold Amount shall include any “pass through revenues” earned by the Business during the Earnout Period.

(i) For purposes of determining the final amount of any Earnout Payment, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete an audit of the Revenues earned by the Business during the Earnout Period (“Revenue Audit”) no later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Earnout Period.

(ii) No later than five (5) Business Days after the completion of the Revenue Audit, Buyer will deliver to Seller a copy of the statement of Revenues which was audited in accordance with this Section 3.1(c) and which contains all information reasonably necessary to determine the Revenue, including the appropriate supporting documentation (the “Revenue Statement”), and the Revenue Statement shall be certified by an officer of Buyer to be true and correct to the Knowledge (as hereinafter defined) of such officer and to have been prepared in accordance with this Section 3.1(c).

(iii) Seller shall give written notice to Buyer of any objection to the Revenue Statement (“Revenue Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt thereof. A Revenue Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in the Revenue Statement to which Seller objects and shall provide a summary of reasons for such objections. In the event Seller does not deliver a Revenue Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer’s determination of Revenues as set forth in the Revenue Statement shall be deemed to be final and binding on Seller. After Seller has delivered a Revenue Objection Notice in accordance with this Section 3.1(c), Seller shall not be entitled to raise any additional objections that would result in an increase to the Revenues.

(iv) Buyer and Seller shall use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute involving any matter set forth in a Revenue Objection Notice. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute involving any matter set forth in a Revenue Objection Notice within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Buyer of the Revenue Objection Notice, such dispute shall be referred for decision to a nationally recognized accounting firm chosen by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Accounting Firm”) to decide the dispute within thirty (30) days of such referral.

(b) It is understood and agreed that (i) any offer of employment made by or on behalf of Buyer as referenced in Section 6.10(a) above will not constitute any commitment, contract or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of Buyer to a post-Closing Date employment relationship of any fixed time or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment consistent with the terms herein, and (ii) employment offered by Buyer is “at will” and may be terminated by Buyer or an employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments of Buyer to the contrary). Buyer will not have any responsibility, liability or obligation, to the Employees or to any other Person with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.

In addition to payment of taxes pursuant to Section 6.11, Seller shall pay, or make adequate provision for the payment, in full of all of the Retained Liabilities. If any such Retained Liabilities are not so paid or provided for, or if Buyer reasonably determines that failure to make any payments will impair Buyer’s use or enjoyment of the Property or conduct of the Business of Seller previously conducted using the Property, Buyer may at any time after the Closing Date elect to make all such payments directly, and will be promptly reimbursed therefor by Seller, or through the Escrow Funds (but shall have no obligation to do so).

Section 6.13. Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) In consideration of the Purchase Price to be received under this Agreement, each of Parent and Seller agrees that, for a period of two years after the Closing Date, except for operating the business in which the Seller’s Security Consulting and Investigations business unit (the “Security Business”) currently operates, none of Harvey W. Schiller, Jeffrey O. Nyweide or Parent (the “Restricted Persons”) shall directly or indirectly, do any of the following:

(i) engage in, or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, be employed by, associated with or in any manner connected with, or render services or advice to, any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in, or any other business whose products or activities compete in whole or in part with, the Business, anywhere in the world, provided, however, the Restricted Persons may passively invest in or own up to 2% of any such entity;

(ii) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Buyer to leave the employ of Buyer, or solicit, offer employment to, otherwise attempt to hire, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, any such employee of Buyer; provided, however, the Restricted Persons are not prohibited from (1) making general solicitations through recruiters, newspapers, the Internet or otherwise, and (2) hiring unsolicited persons that contact the Restricted Persons for employment; or

(iii) induce or attempt to induce any Person that was a customer of Buyer at any time during the one year period preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with Buyer, in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any such customer or solicit the business of any such customer.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent further agrees that, for a period of two years after the Closing Date, Parent shall not and shall cause the Seller (including the Security Business) not to, engage in any transaction or a series of related transactions in which Parent or Seller (including the Security Business), as the case may be, acquires (i) the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person engaged in, or planning to become engaged in, the emergency preparedness and disaster relief recovery industry.

Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.13(a) or Section 6.13(b) to the contrary, if Parent or Seller (1) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger and neither Harvey W. Schiller nor Jeffrey O. Nyweide are employed by, providing consulting services to, or otherwise affiliated with such corporation or entity, or (2) transfers or conveys any or all of its properties and assets to any Person and neither Harvey W. Schiller nor Jeffrey O. Nyweide are employed by, providing consulting services to, or otherwise affiliated with such Person, then none of the provisions of Section 6.13(a) shall be applicable to such acquiring entity and none of the provisions of Section 6.13(c) shall be applicable to Buyer as it relates to such acquiring entity.

(c) In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, Buyer agrees that for a period commencing on the Execution Date and continuing for two years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not directly or indirectly, do any of the following:

(i) engage in, or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, be employed by, associated with or in any manner connected with, or render services or advice to, any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in, or any other business whose products or activities directly compete with, Parent’s fraud or deoxyribonucleic acid businesses units (the “Remaining Businesses” and, for the avoidance of doubt, the term “Remaining Businesses” does not include the Security Business), anywhere in the world, provided, however, Buyer may passively invest in or own up to 2% of any such entity;

(ii) except for the employees set forth on Schedule 6.13(c), induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Remaining Businesses to leave the employ of the Remaining Businesses, or solicit, offer employment to, otherwise attempt to hire, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, any such employee of the Remaining Businesses; provided, however, Buyer is not prohibited from (1) making general solicitations through recruiters, newspapers, the Internet or otherwise, and (2) hiring unsolicited persons that contact the Buyer for employment; or

(iii) induce or attempt to induce any Person that was a customer of the Remaining Businesses at any time during the one (1) year period preceding the Execution Date to cease doing business with the Remaining Businesses or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Remaining Businesses and any such customer:

provided, however, that if Parent of any affiliate thereof enters into any definitive agreements with respect to the sale of the Remaining Business and such definitive agreements do not require the potential purchasers of such Remaining Business to comply with non-competition and non-solicitation covenants substantially similar to the covenants set forth in this Section 6.13(c), then this Section 6.13(c) shall be of no further force and effect and, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall no longer be required to comply with the terms of this Section 6.13(c).

(d) Each of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, acknowledges that all of the foregoing provisions are reasonable and are necessary to protect and preserve the value of the Property to Buyer, and the Remaining Businesses, and to prevent any unfair advantage being conferred on Parent and Seller, or Buyer, as the case may be. If any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.13 are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, the restrictive time period will be deemed to be the longest period permissible by Law under the circumstances and the restrictive geographical area will be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by Law under the circumstances.

Section 6.14. Consent to Subcontract; Novations. Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable after the Closing Date from the U.S. General Services Administration and the California Multiple Awards Schedule, as the case may be, their respective Consents to (a) the assignment (with a novation) to Buyer of all Contracts between such Governmental Authority and Parent or Seller, as the case may be (collectively, the “Novations”), and (b) concurrently therewith, the entry into a subcontracting or delegation arrangement between the parties as it relates to such Contracts for that certain period of time commencing after the Closing Date and terminating on the applicable date of Novation for each such Contract (the “Consent to Subcontract”).

Section 6.16. Excluded Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.1(e), Buyer shall be permitted, at any time through and until the three week anniversary of the Execution Date, to instruct Parent or Seller, as the case may be, to update Schedules 1.1(h) and 1.2(f), in order to remove contracts from Schedule 1.2(f) and, in turn, add such contracts to Schedule 1.1(h) for purposes of including such agreements in the Property to be acquired by Buyer at Closing, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Buyer shall, during the Maintenance Period, promptly reimburse Parent or Seller, as the case may be, with respect to any Retained Expenses or out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Parent or Seller, as the case may be, related to the services to be provided pursuant to Section 6.17(a).

(d) (i) Buyer agrees, that in the event that at any time during the Maintenance Period, Buyer actually receives any amount (including, but not limited to, fees, refunds or receivables) related to the business and affairs of the CRO which are otherwise due and owing to Parent or Seller, as the case may be, Buyer shall promptly remit such actually received amounts to Parent or Seller, as the case may be.

(b) Each of Parent and Seller agrees that if this Agreement shall be terminated:

(i) by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(d), then Parent and Seller shall pay Buyer, in immediately available funds, concurrently with such termination, an amount equal to the sum of Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($500,000) plus fifty percent (50%) of Buyer Expenses; or

(ii) by Buyer pursuant to Sections 9.1(f) and 9.1(i), then Parent and Seller shall pay Buyer, in immediately available funds, concurrently with such termination, an amount equal to the sum of Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($500,000) plus Buyer Expenses; or

(iii) by Parent and Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(g), then Parent and Seller shall pay Buyer, in immediately available funds, concurrently with such termination, an amount equal to the sum of Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($500,000) plus Buyer Expenses; or

(iv) by Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller and Parent, on the other, pursuant to Section 9.1(h), then Parent and Seller shall pay Buyer, in immediately available funds, concurrently with such termination, an amount equal to the sum of Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($500,000) plus Buyer Expenses; provided, however, that if such termination is not, in the reasonable discretion of Buyer, a result of Parent’s and Seller’s failure to exercise good faith efforts to obtain such Stockholder Approval at the Special Meeting (including any adjournment thereof), then Parent and Seller shall only pay Buyer an amount equal to Buyer Expenses, in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business Days after the Termination Date.

“Termination Fee” shall mean the applicable amount payable under Sections 9.4 (b)(i), 9.4(b)(ii), 9.4(b)(iii) or 9.4(b)(iv) as outlined above.

(c) Buyer agrees that if this Agreement shall be terminated by Parent and Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(e), JCP shall pay to Parent and Seller an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($250,000) (such amount, the “Reverse Break-Up Fee”), which amount shall be paid from the Deposit Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement (or, in the event the parties fail to enter into the Deposit Escrow Agreement, JCP will directly pay such Reverse Break-Up Fee); provided, however, that the Reverse Break-Up Fee shall be reduced by the sum of any disbursements made by the Escrow Agent in respect of any undisputed Claimed Amounts in accordance with Section 10.6(c)(ii) and the Deposit Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum amount to be paid by JCP pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) and Section 11.12(c) shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($250,000). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent’s and Seller’s right to receive the Reverse Break-Up Fee shall be Parent’s and Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Buyer or any of its affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated in circumstances giving rise to the right to receive the Reverse Break-Up Fee, and, upon payment of the Reverse Break-Up Fee, none of Buyer or its affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Each of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that Parent or Seller shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due or JCP shall fail to deposit Two Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($250,000) with the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 11.12(a) or pay the amounts set forth in Sections 9.4(c) and 11.12(c) when due, Parent and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall also be required to reimburse Buyer, or Parent and Seller, as the case may be, for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by Buyer, or Parent and Seller, as the case may be, (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 9.4. Subject to Section 9.2(b) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer’s right to receive the Termination Fee and Parent’s and Seller’s right to receive payments pursuant to Sections 9.4(c) and/or 11.12(c) (up to the Indemnification Escrow Cap with respect to one or more Seller Escrow Claims), as the case may be, and, to the extent applicable, the collection expenses pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Parent and Seller and Parent’s and Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Buyer, or any of their respective affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, members, agents or other representatives for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated in circumstances giving rise to the right to receive the Termination Fee or the payments under Sections 9.4(c) and/or 11.12(c), as the case may be, and, upon payment of the Termination Fee, and, to the extent applicable, collection expenses pursuant to this Section 9.4, none of Parent or Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, members, agents or other representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE X.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X and notwithstanding any investigation conducted at any time with regard thereto by or on behalf of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

Section 10.2. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, Parent and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates and the respective employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors of all of them (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, Proceedings, judgments, assessments and costs and expenses including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, any and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any Proceeding, commenced or threatened, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding (collectively, “Damages”) arising from or in connection with the following (individually a “Buyer Indemnifiable Claim” and collectively “Buyer Indemnifiable Claims” when used in the context of a Buyer Indemnified Party),

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements made by Parent or Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or the breach or non-performance of any covenant or obligation of Parent or Seller contained herein or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith;

(ii) any liability arising out of or relating to the ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing, other than the Assumed Liabilities; or

(iii) any Retained Liability.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Seller and their respective affiliates and the respective employees, affiliates, directors, agents and advisors of all of them (each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by Seller, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the following (individually “Seller Indemnified Claim” and collectively “Seller Indemnifiable Claims” when used in the context of Seller Indemnified Party):

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or the breach or non-performance of any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained herein or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith;

(ii) any liability imposed upon Parent or Seller as a result of Buyer’s conduct of the Business following the Closing, other than Retained Liabilities (except to the extent Parent or Seller had any indemnification obligation with respect thereto pursuant to Section 10.2(a)); or

(iii) the Assumed Liabilities.

(c) For purposes of this Article X, all Damages shall be computed net of any insurance coverage with respect thereto that reduces the Damages that would otherwise be sustained; provided, however, that in all cases, the timing of the receipt or realization of insurance proceeds shall be taken into account in determining the amount of reduction of Damages.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any party hereto have any liability hereunder to any other party hereto for consequential, indirect or incidental damages of any kind or nature or lost profits.

Section 10.3. Limitations on Indemnification. Rights to indemnification hereunder are subject to the following limitations:

(a) As to Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, the obligation of indemnity provided herein with respect to the representations and warranties made by them herein shall survive the Closing Date through and until the Earnout Date, at which time such representations and warranties shall expire and become null and void, except as to any matters with respect to which a bona fide written claim shall have been made before such date, in which event survival shall continue (but only with respect to, and to the extent of, such claim).

(b) An Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to a breach by the Indemnifying Party (as hereinafter defined) of any representation or warranty only to the extent that the amount of all Damages suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result of the breach by the Indemnifying Party of one or more representations and warranties exceeds in the aggregate $100,000, whereupon all amounts in excess of an aggregate of $100,000 shall be subject to indemnification (the “Deductible”); provided, however, that the Deductible shall not be applicable to any Damages suffered by Buyer as a result of any Employee Liabilities, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification from the first dollar of loss with respect to any such Damages. In no event shall Buyer be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to one or more breaches by Parent or Seller of their respective representations and warranties in an aggregate amount that exceeds the Cash Consideration.

(c) As to Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, the obligation to indemnify provided herein with respect to any matter other than a representation and warranty made by them herein shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(d) If, prior to the termination of any obligation to indemnify as provided for herein, written notice of a claimed breach is given by the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) including in detail the basis therefor to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) or a Proceeding based upon a claimed breach is commenced against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not be precluded from pursuing such claimed breach or Proceeding, or from recovering from the Indemnifying Party (whether through the courts or otherwise) on the Proceeding by reason of the termination otherwise provided for above.

(e) The right of any party hereto to commence or assert a Proceeding for Damages in respect of the breach of a representation or warranty contained herein shall terminate at the same time that the obligation of indemnification provided herein with respect to such breach shall terminate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as hereinafter provided, the indemnification set forth in this Article X, subject to the limitations contained in this Article X, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Party for any breach, default, inaccuracy or failure of any of the representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement and in any document and instrument delivered in connection herewith, whether based upon contract, tort or upon any other theory of Law.

Section 10.4. Procedure for Indemnification with Respect to Third-Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any third party Proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in Section 10.2 applies, which notice to be effective must describe such claim in reasonable detail (the “Indemnification Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to give any notice of any assertion of liability by a third party unless such assertion is in writing and the rights of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified hereunder in respect of any third party claim shall not be adversely affected by its failure to give notice pursuant to the foregoing unless and, if so, only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any such Proceeding subject to the provisions set forth below, but the Indemnified Party may, at its election, participate in the defense of any Proceeding at its sole cost and expense. Should the Indemnifying Party fail timely to defend any such action (except for failure resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to timely give the Indemnification Notice), then, in addition to any other remedy, the Indemnified Party may settle or defend such Proceeding through counsel of its own choosing and may recover from the Indemnifying Party the amount of such settlement, demand, or any judgment or decree and all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.

Section 10.5. Cooperation in the Defense of Claims. In the event that an Indemnifiable Claim is asserted, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each cooperate in all reasonable respects with the other. Such cooperation shall include making available on reasonable notice during normal business hours at the cost of the Indemnifying Party such business records as relate to the Business and the transactions contemplated hereby and suitable personnel with knowledge of the foregoing.

Section 10.6. Escrow Arrangements; Indemnification Payments.

(a) Any indemnification claim made by a Buyer Indemnified Party prior to the Escrow Termination Date shall be referred to as a “Buyer Escrow Claim”. Any indemnification claim made by a Seller Indemnified Party prior to the Deposit Escrow Termination Date shall be referred to as a “Seller Escrow Claim”. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnity under this Article X shall deliver a notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Escrow Agent (each a “Claim Notice”). Each Claim Notice shall (i) contain a brief description of the basis for such Indemnified Party’s indemnity claim and (ii) contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of actual and potential Damages that have arisen and may arise as a result of the inaccuracy or breach or other matter referred to in such Claim Notice (the amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by such Indemnified Party in good faith from time to time, the “Claimed Amount”).

(b) During the 45-day period commencing upon the delivery by an Indemnified Party of a Claim Notice (the “Dispute Period”), the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, shall determine in good faith whether it disputes the indemnity claim or the amount thereof, and it shall so notify the Indemnified Party (the “Response Notice”) together with a reasonable explanation that it (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; (ii) agrees that part (but asserts that not all) of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (iii) asserts that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. Unless it shall have timely delivered such a notice indicating that it disputes all or part of the claim, the Claimed Amount set forth in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed to be valid and accepted. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is disputed by the responding party pursuant to the Response Notice shall be referred to as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith modifications by the Indemnified Party to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is timely delivered, the indemnification claim shall be “finally determined” when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment, or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto.

(c) (i) In the case of a Buyer Escrow Claim, if a Response Notice is delivered agreeing that the full Claimed Amount, or a portion thereof, is owed or no Response Notice is timely delivered, then Parent and Buyer shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the full Claimed Amount set forth in the Claim Notice, or such undisputed portion, to the Indemnified Party from the Escrow Account. In the case of a Buyer Escrow Claim, if a Response Notice is timely delivered indicating there is a Contested Amount, then within three (3) Business Days after the claim has been finally determined, Parent and Buyer shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the applicable amount from the Escrow Account.

(ii) In the case of a Seller Escrow Claim, if a Response Notice is delivered agreeing that the full Claimed Amount, or a portion thereof, is owed or no Response Notice is timely delivered, then Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the full Claimed Amount set forth in the Claim Notice, or such undisputed portion, to the Indemnified Party from the Deposit Escrow Account; provided such amount does not exceed the Indemnification Escrow Cap (as hereinafter defined). In the case of a Seller Escrow Claim, if a Response Notice is timely delivered indicating there is a Contested Amount, then within three (3) Business Days after the claim has been finally determined, Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse the applicable amount from the Deposit Escrow Account; provided that such amount does not exceed the Indemnification Escrow Cap.

(d) The Escrowed Funds shall be disbursed to the Seller as follows:

(i) If the Escrow Funds as of the Escrow Termination Date exceeds the aggregate amount of the unpaid Claimed Amounts (including the entire Claimed Amount with respect to each indemnification claim as to which the Dispute Period has not yet expired and no Response Notice has been delivered) associated with all unresolved Buyer Escrow Claims as of the Escrow Termination Date, then within three (3) Business Days thereafter Parent and Buyer shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Seller from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Escrow Funds as of the Escrow Termination Date exceeds the sum of such unpaid Claimed Amounts.

(ii) Following the Escrow Termination Date, each time a Buyer Escrow Claim that had not, prior to that date, been finally determined and paid in accordance with this Article X (an “Unresolved Escrow Claim”) is finally determined, Parent and Buyer shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days after the final resolution of each such Unresolved Escrow Claim and the payment from the Escrow Account of all amounts, if any, owing to the Indemnified Party that asserted such Unresolved Escrow Claim, a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Seller from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Escrow Funds as of the date of the disbursement exceeds the aggregate amount of the unpaid Claimed Amounts (including the entire Claimed Amount with respect to each indemnification claim as to which the Dispute Period has not yet expired and no Response Notice has been delivered), if any, associated with any remaining Unresolved Escrow Claims.

(e) The Deposit Escrowed Funds shall be disbursed to JCP as follows:

(i) If the Deposit Escrowed Funds as of the Deposit Escrow Termination Date exceed the aggregate amount of the unpaid Claimed Amounts (including the entire Claimed Amount with respect to each indemnification claim as to which the Dispute Period has not yet expired and no Response Notice has been delivered) associated with all unresolved Seller Escrow Claims as of the Deposit Escrow Termination Date, then within three (3) Business Days thereafter Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and JCP, on the other, shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to JCP from the Deposit Escrow Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Deposit Escrowed Funds as of the Deposit Escrow Termination Date exceed the sum of such unpaid Claimed Amounts.

(ii) Following the Deposit Escrow Termination Date, each time a Seller Escrow Claim that had not, prior to that date, been finally determined and paid in accordance with this Article X (a “Seller Unresolved Escrow Claim”) is finally determined, Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and JCP, on the other, shall jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent, within three (3) Business Days after the final resolution of each such Seller Unresolved Escrow Claim and the payment from the Deposit Escrow Account of all amounts (subject to the Indemnification Escrow Cap), if any, owing to the Seller Indemnified Party that asserted such Seller Unresolved Escrow Claim, a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to JCP from the Deposit Escrow Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Deposit Escrowed Funds as of the date of the disbursement exceed the aggregate amount of the unpaid Claimed Amounts (including the entire Claimed Amount with respect to each indemnification claim as to which the Dispute Period has not yet expired and no Response Notice has been delivered), if any, associated with any remaining Seller Unresolved Escrow Claims.
