ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

The covenants and agreements of the Seller and the Buyer contained in ‎Article 5 shall terminate on the Closing, except for those covenants and agreements that by their terms contemplate performance in whole or in part after the Closing, which shall survive until fully performed. The foregoing survival periods are in lieu of, and the Parties expressly waive, any otherwise applicable statute of limitations, whether arising at law or in equity.

6.2Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 6, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, directors, officers, members, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives, and agents of each of them in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all actual losses, monetary damages, liabilities, fines, fees, penalties, expenses or costs (“Losses”), plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including court costs and expert witness fees and costs, incurred in connection with Losses and/or enforcement of this Agreement (in all, “Indemnified Losses”) incurred by any of them to the extent directly resulting from or arising out of:

(a)any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in ‎Article 3;

(b)any breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in this Agreement; and

(c)the Excluded Liabilities.

6.3Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section ‎6.3, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, directors, officers, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives, and agents in their capacities as such (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Indemnified Losses incurred by any of them, to the extent directly resulting from or arising out of:

(a)any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer contained in ‎Article 4;

(b)any obligation or liability assumed by Buyer under any Contracts;

(c)any breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(d)the Buyer Liabilities.

6.4Notice of Claim. In the event that Buyer seeks indemnification on behalf of a Buyer Indemnified Person, or Seller seeks indemnification on behalf of a Seller Indemnified Person, such Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually irrevocably and materially prejudiced thereby. Subject to the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim not more than ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party provides notice to the Indemnifying Party of such amount.

6.5Right to Contest Claims of Third Persons. If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an indemnified person hereunder) (“Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually irrevocably and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to investigate, contest, assume the defense of, or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”), provided that, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) that would lead to liability or create any other obligation (whether monetary or otherwise) on the part of the Indemnified Party, or (ii) that requires an admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, or (iii) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each Third Person claimant to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third Person Claim. The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party declines in writing to the Indemnified Party to investigate, contest, assume the defense of, or settle the Third Person Claim, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim using counsel of its choice, in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may reasonably deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel at its own expense. The Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials, and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Person Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Person Claim, and which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Person Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to settle, compromise, or discharge, such Third Person Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

6.6Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a)the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from Seller by Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section ‎6.2 shall be $750,000;

(b)Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Person for any claim for indemnification unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Seller shall be liable only for the Losses in excess of the Basket Amount;

(c)no Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, including business interruption, diminution of value, loss of future revenue, profits, income, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement and, in particular, no “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology will be used in calculating the amount of any Losses; regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise;

(d)no party shall have a right to make a claim for any Loss for contingent or inchoate claims and may claim only for a Loss that has, in fact, been paid or incurred; and

(e)in the event Buyer proceeds with the Closing notwithstanding knowledge by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer at or prior to the Closing of any breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement, no Buyer Indemnified Person shall have any claim or recourse against Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to such breach, under this ‎Article 6 or otherwise.

6.7Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons, waives any rights and claims any Buyer Indemnified Person may have against Seller, regardless of the Law or legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether at law, in equity, contract, tort or otherwise, relating to the Business and/or the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by Buyer, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons, include, without limitation, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Law, claims for breach of contract, for breach (negligent or otherwise) of representation or warranty, and claims for breach of duty. After the Closing, this ‎Article 6 will provide the exclusive remedy against Seller for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby.
