The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.6           Final Consideration Calculation.

(a)             Promptly following the Closing, but in any event no later than 90 days thereafter, the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses and the resulting calculation of the Final Consideration. The Closing Statement shall be prepared, and Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses shall be determined, in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)            The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by all relevant backup materials and schedules relating to the calculation of Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, in reasonably acceptable detail. The Purchaser shall make such information, personnel and resources available to the Sellers’ Representative as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Sellers’ Representative to review the Closing Statement; provided, that the obligation of the Purchaser to provide such information, personnel and resources shall be limited to normal business hours with reasonable prior notice and in such a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of its business.

(c)             In the event that the Sellers’ Representative disputes the calculation of Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify the Purchaser in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute, within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Statement. In the event of such a dispute, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall first use their diligent good faith efforts to resolve such dispute among themselves. If the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted to a nationally recognized accounting firm that has not provided services to either Purchaser or the Company and is jointly chosen by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Audit Firm”). If any dispute is submitted to the Audit Firm, then the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall (i) execute any agreement(s) required by the Audit Firm to accept its engagement in accordance with this Section 2.6(c), (ii) furnish or caused to be furnished to the Audit Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues (including information of the Company) as the Audit Firm may reasonably request and are available to such party, and (iii) be afforded the opportunity to present to the Audit Firm, with a copy to the other party, material relevant to the Audit Firm’s determination. The Audit Firm shall review only those items that are in dispute and shall not attribute a value to any disputed amount greater than the greatest amount proposed by either party nor an amount less than the least amount proposed by either party.

(d)             The written decision of the Audit Firm shall be rendered within no more than 60 days from the date that the matter is referred to such firm and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, shall not be subject to dispute or review. Following any such dispute resolution (whether by mutual agreement of the parties or by written decision of the Audit Firm), the calculation of Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement (as determined in such dispute resolution) shall be determined final. The costs and expenses of the Audit Firm shall be allocated by the Audit Firm between the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (for the account of the Sellers), on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Sellers’ Representative claims the Closing Consideration is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Purchaser, and the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Sellers’ Representative, and if the Audit Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Sellers’ Representative (for the benefit of the Sellers) $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of arbitration shall be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Sellers’ Representative (for the account of the Sellers).

(e)              Immediately upon the expiration of the 30 day period for giving the Dispute Notice, if no such notice is given, or upon the delivery of written notice by the Sellers’ Representative to the Purchaser that no such notice will be given, the Purchaser’s calculations set forth in the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and shall not be subject to dispute, appeal or review.

Section 2.7           Post-Closing Adjustment Payment.

(a)            If the Final Consideration is greater than the Closing Consideration, promptly after the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, (i) the Purchaser shall pay to each Seller an amount in cash equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Surplus Share of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller, and (ii) the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share of the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller.

(b)              If the Final Consideration is less than the Closing Consideration, promptly after the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the absolute value of such difference (the “Shortfall Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser. In the event that the funds available in the Adjustment Escrow Account are in excess of the Shortfall Amount (such excess, the “Escrow Excess Amount”), the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the instruction described in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(b), deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share of the Escrow Excess Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller. In the event that the funds available in the Adjustment Escrow Account are less than the Shortfall Amount (such deficit, the “Escrow Shortfall Amount”), the Purchaser may choose, in its sole discretion, either (i) for the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative to, simultaneously with the delivery of the instruction described in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(b), deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the Escrow Shortfall Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser, or (ii) for the Sellers to, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the Escrow Shortfall Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser. In the case of clause (ii) of the previous sentence, the Sellers shall be severally liable in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Indemnification Share of such Escrow Shortfall Amount to the Purchaser.

Section 2.8            Escrow Amounts. The funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be available to satisfy any amounts payable to the Purchaser and the Sellers pursuant to Sections 2.7(a) and 2.7(b), and the funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be available to satisfy any amounts payable by the Sellers to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.7(b) and to satisfy any Losses for which indemnification is provided by the Sellers in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of Article V. The Escrow Agent shall be directed to hold the funds in the Adjustment Escrow Account and the Indemnity Escrow Account as security for any such obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. On or promptly after the Expiration Date, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to each Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated in writing by such Seller, such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share of the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account (if any), less any portion thereof that is subject to a pending claim pursuant to Article V. Upon final resolution of any such unresolved claim in respect of which amounts had been retained (to the extent not utilized to satisfy such unresolved claims), the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay such retained amounts to each Seller based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 2.9            Withholding Taxes. The Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement such amounts required to be deducted and withheld in accordance with applicable Law with respect to Taxes, which amounts shall be promptly paid over to the appropriate Taxing authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Sellers in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Purchaser.

Section 2.10          Rights Not Transferable. The rights of the Sellers hereunder are personal in nature and, except with the written consent of Purchaser, are non-transferable and non-assignable, except that each securityholder shall be entitled to assign such securityholder’s rights by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other similar operation of law. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (otherwise than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

Section 2.11         Company Options. At or immediately prior to the Closing Date, each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date, whether vested or unvested, will be automatically cancelled and the Purchaser will pay or cause the Company to pay to each Optionholder (a) on the next regularly scheduled payroll payment date occurring at least three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date the amount in cash, without interest (subject to any applicable withholding pursuant to Section 2.9), equal to the amount set forth on the funds flow memorandum attached hereto as Schedule I and (b) such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Earn-Out Portion of the Initial Earn-Out Amount and the Subsequent Earn-Out Amount, if any, set forth opposite such Optionholder’s name on the funds flow memorandum attached hereto as Schedule I, in accordance with Section 2.12. At or immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary to: (i) cause each Company Option to be treated in accordance with this Section 2.11, (ii) terminate the Company Equity Plan as of the Closing Date and (iii) ensure that, after the Closing Date, neither the Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or the Company will be required to deliver Company Common Stock or other Equity Interests of the Purchaser or the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options.

Section 2.12          Earn-Out.

(a)               If Qualified Revenue from the period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on January 31, 2022 (the “Initial Earn-Out Period”) is greater than or equal to $9,000,001, the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers (or their designees) and the Optionholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Earn-Out Portions, an amount as set forth under “Earnout Amount Payable” corresponding to the Initial Earn-Out Period on Schedule II in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to the Purchaser, up to an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (the “Initial Earn-Out Amount”). If Qualified Revenue during the period beginning on February 1, 2022 and ending on January 31, 2023 (the “Subsequent Earn-Out Period”) is greater than or equal to $15,000,001, the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers (or their designees) and the Optionholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Earn-Out Portions an amount as set forth under “Earnout Amount Payable” corresponding to the Subsequent Earn-Out Period on Schedule II in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to the Purchaser up to an aggregate amount of $15,000,000 (the “Subsequent Earn-Out Amount” and together with the Initial Earn-Out Amount, the “Earn-Out Amount”). If (i) Qualified Revenue during the Initial Earn-Out Period was greater than or equal to $9,000,001, but less than $11,000,001, and (ii) Qualified Revenue during the Subsequent Earn-Out Period is greater than or equal to $15,000,001, the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, simultaneously with the payment of the Subsequent Earn-Out Amount, to the Sellers (or their designees) and the Optionholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Earn-Out Portions, an amount in cash equal to $5,000,000 less the Pro Rata Earn-Out Portion of the Initial Earn-Out Amount (as defined on Schedule II) actually paid to the Sellers (or their designees) and the Optionholders in accordance with Schedule II by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to the Purchaser.

(b)             The Sellers acknowledge that upon and following the Closing (i) there is no assurance that the Sellers will be issued the Earn-Out Amount, and the Purchaser has not promised or projected any payment of the Earn-Out Amount, (ii) the Purchaser does not owe any fiduciary or other similar duty to the Sellers with respect to the achievement of the Qualified Revenue set forth in this Section 2.12 or the payment of the Earn-Out Amount, and (iii) the Purchaser and the Sellers solely intend the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship.

(c)             Following the Closing and until expiration of the Subsequent Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the maximum Earn-Out Amounts set forth on Schedule II, including but not limited to providing the Company with reasonable working capital resources to execute any operational mandates placed on the Company by the Purchaser or its Affiliates not directly related to generating Qualified Revenue, and not intentionally take any action with the primary purpose of avoiding or reducing Qualified Revenue or preventing the Company from satisfying the Earn-Out Amount targets set forth on Schedule II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to cause the Company (i) to wind-down and cease to offer the Company’s pre-tax commuter benefit product and (ii) to implement enhanced security and privacy measures, and in no event shall any acts (or omissions) in respect thereof be deemed to constitute a breach of the Purchaser’s and its Affiliates obligations under this Section 2.12(c).

(d)             Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction prior to expiration of the Subsequent Earn-Out Period or breach by Purchaser of any covenant set forth in Section 2.12(c) or Section 2.12(d) (each, a “Triggering Event”), the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers (or their designees) and the Optionholders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Earn-Out Portions, an amount in cash equal to (i) if the Triggering Event occurs prior to expiration of the Initial Earn-Out Period, $20,000,000, (ii) if the Triggering Event occurs after expiration of the Initial Earn-Out Period but prior to expiration of the Subsequent Earn-Out Period and Qualified Revenue during the Initial Earn-Out Period was less than or equal to $9,000,000, $15,000,000 or (iii) if the Triggering Event occurs after expiration of the Initial Earn-Out Period but prior to expiration of the Subsequent Earn-Out Period and Qualified Revenue during the Initial Earn-Out Period was greater than or equal to $9,000,001, $20,000,000 less the Pro Rata Earn-Out Portion of the Initial Earn-Out Amount (as defined on Schedule II) actually paid to the Sellers (or their designees) and the Optionholders in accordance with Schedule II, in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Sellers’ Representative to the Purchaser.

(e)             The Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a written statement setting forth the Qualified Revenue for the Initial Earn-Out Period and the resulting Initial Earn-Out Amount, if any, due to the Sellers, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to February 28, 2022, including (i) an income statement of the Company for the Initial Earn-Out Period prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Company’s historical accounting practices and methodology, (ii) reasonably detailed documentation and workpapers supporting the calculation of each component of the Qualified Revenue for the Initial Earn-Out Period and the resulting Initial Earn-Out Amount and (iii) a quarterly calculation of Qualified Revenue within thirty (30) days following the end of each fiscal quarter during the Initial Earn-Out Period.

There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist that could give rise to, any requirement for the posting of security with respect to a Company Plan or the imposition of any lien on the assets of any of the Seller Group Companies under ERISA or the Code.

(c)               With respect to each Company Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, such plan, and its related trust, has at all times since its adoption been so qualified and has received a current determination letter (or is the subject of a current opinion letter in the case of any prototype plan) from the IRS on which the Seller Group Companies can rely that it is so qualified and that its trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, and nothing has occurred with respect to the operation of any such plan which could cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any material liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code.

With respect to any Company Plan that is a “multiple employer plan” (as defined in Section 413 of the Code) such Company Plan complies in all respects with the requirements of the Code and ERISA and none of the Seller Group Companies nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liabilities other than the payment and/or remittance of premiums and/or required contributions on behalf of enrolled individuals.

(e)               No event has occurred and no condition exists that would subject any of the Seller Group Companies by reason of their affiliation with any ERISA Affiliate to any (i) Tax, penalty, fine, (ii) lien, or (iii) other liability imposed by ERISA, the Code or other applicable Laws, in each case, in respect of any employee benefit plan maintained, sponsored, contributed to, or required to be contributed to by any ERISA Affiliate (other than the Seller Group Companies).

(f)                Each Company Plan that is subject to Affordable Care Act has been established, maintained and administered in compliance with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act, including all notice and coverage requirements, and the Seller Group Companies and each ERISA Affiliate offer minimum essential health coverage, satisfying the affordability and minimum value requirements, to their full time employees (as defined by the Affordable Care Act) sufficient to prevent liability for assessable payments under Section 4980H of the Code.

None of the Company Plans provide medical, health, life or other welfare benefits for former employees or for present employees after termination of employment, except as may be required by Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA, any other applicable Law or at the sole expense of the participant or the participant’s beneficiary. No Company Plan is a self-insured arrangement by any of the Seller Group Companies or funded through a trust and no event has occurred and no condition exists that could reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in the premium costs of any Company Plans that are fully-insured. None of the Seller Group Companies has incurred (whether or not assessed), or is reasonably expected to incur or to be subject to, any Tax or other penalty with respect to the reporting requirements under Sections 6055 and 6056 of the Code, as applicable, or under Section 4980B, 4980D or 4980H of the Code.

(g)               Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in combination with another event) (i) result in any payment becoming due, or increase the amount of any compensation or benefits due, to any current or former employee, officer, director or other individual service provider of any of the Seller Group Companies or with respect to any Company Plan; (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Company Plan; (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such compensation or benefits, or the forgiveness of indebtedness of any current or former employee, officer, director or other individual service provider of any of the Seller Group Companies; or (iv) result in an obligation to fund or otherwise set aside assets to secure to any extent any of the obligations under any Company Plan.

(h)               Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in combination with another event) result in any payment or benefit (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) to any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code).

(i)                 No Company Plan is or has ever been (and none of the Seller Group Companies have sponsored, maintained or had any obligation with respect to) a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

Section 5.4           Claim Procedures.

(a)               Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article V (each an “Indemnified Party”) agrees that after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to this Article V, such Indemnified Party shall assert its claim for indemnification under this Article V (each a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) within 30 days of becoming aware of the facts giving rise to such claim, to the Person required to provide indemnification protection under this Article V (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis for such Claim (including identifying the relevant provisions of this Agreement upon which such Claim is based) and the amount of Losses associated therewith (if known). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party’s failure to send or delay in sending a Claim Notice will relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability hereunder with respect to such Claim, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(b)               If any Proceeding is begun, made or instituted by a third party as a result of which an Indemnifying Party may become obligated to an Indemnified Party hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party as described in Section 5.4(a). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect the Indemnified Party against any Proceeding at its sole cost and expense. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to (i) control and conduct any such Proceeding, (ii) take all other reasonable steps to defend against any such third-party claim and (iii) employ counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party to contest any such third-party claim in the name of the Indemnified Party or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control or defend any indemnification Proceeding if (1) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, (2) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, or (3) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief. The Indemnifying Party shall, within 15 days after receipt of a Claim Notice of any such third-party claim, give written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense of such third-party claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice and shall in any event cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party to the extent reasonably possible. If the Indemnifying Party fails to elect to defend, contest or otherwise protect against such Proceeding, then (i) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to do so, provided that the Indemnified Party shall not make any compromise or settlement thereof without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) subject to the limitations set forth in this Article V, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of Loss thereof from the Indemnifying Party upon final determination the underlying Claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and amounts paid as the result of such Proceeding (except with respect to any compromise or settlement made without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party as described above), and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed as to all matters concerning such Proceeding and shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any and all significant developments relating thereto. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Proceeding as provided herein, (A) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (B) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no adverse effect as to any Indemnified Party on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (C) the Indemnified Party will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

Section 5.5           Calculation of Losses. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Article V, in determining the existence of a breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement and the amount of any corresponding Losses, no effect shall be given to any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifier.

Section 5.6           Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any amounts payable under this Article V shall for all purposes be treated by the Purchaser and the Sellers as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 5.7           Escrow Accounts; Order of Recovery. Upon the final determination of the amount of any Losses in excess of the Deductible for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i), the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to disburse an amount equal to the amount of such Losses by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account to an account designed in writing by the Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article V, in the event that such Losses relate to a breach of the Company Fundamental Representations or Fraud and the amount of such Losses as finally determined exceeds the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, (i) Purchaser shall set off such Losses against any monies due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.9 (solely to the extent it has been finally determined and agreed in writing such monies are due and payable pursuant to Section 2.9) and (ii) if such Losses exceed the amount available for set off, the Sellers shall, severally in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share, pay to the Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the difference between (A) the amount of such Losses (less any amount set off against any monies due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.9 (solely to the extent it has been finally determined and agreed in writing such monies are due and payable pursuant to Section 2.9)) and (B) the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account. Upon the final determination of the amount of any Losses for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V (other than pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i)), subject to the limitations set forth in this Article V, (i) Purchaser shall set off such Losses against any monies that are due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.9 (solely to the extent it has been finally determined and agreed in writing such monies are due and payable pursuant to Section 2.9) and (ii) if such Losses exceed the amount available for set off, the Sellers shall, severally in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share, pay to the Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the difference between (A) the amount of such Losses and (B) any amount set off against any monies that are due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.9 (solely to the extent it has been finally determined and agreed in writing such monies are due and payable pursuant to Section 2.9).

Section 5.8           Other Limitations and Agreements.

(a)               For purposes of calculating the monetary amount of Losses for which any Claim may be made against any Indemnifying Party, such monetary amount shall be decreased to the extent of any amounts actually recovered by an Indemnified Party under insurance policies (other than the R&W Insurance Policy) and net of any increase in premiums directly attributable to such Losses for the year of the claim and the following year, or deductibles or co-pays incurred in connection therewith, including costs of collection. If an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder (other than a recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy), then a refund equal to the amount of the recovery (net of any premium increase or collection costs) shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party that made or directed such indemnification payments to such Indemnified Party.

(b)               No Indemnified Party shall make any claim for indemnification for Losses under this Agreement in respect of any matter to the extent such Losses were taken into account in the calculation of the Final Consideration (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6) or would otherwise result in double recovery for any such Losses. Without limiting the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover for a Loss only once under this Article V even if a Claim or Claims for indemnification in respect of such Loss has or have been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement. With respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article V, no Seller shall be required to pay more than such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share of the applicable Loss, and in no event shall the aggregate maximum liability of any Seller for claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article V exceed the amount of the Purchase Price paid to such Seller.

(c)               Except in the event of Fraud or with respect to an action for which equitable relief is sought (and solely to the extent such action seeks equitable relief), Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that, after the Closing, the indemnification provisions in this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and the Sellers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Purchaser agrees that the only source of recovery for any claims that Purchaser and its Affiliates may have (including indemnification claims under this Article V) related to or arising from Section 5.2(a)(i) of this Agreement shall be from the recovery of amounts pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow Account and the R&W Insurance Policy, except with respect to (i) a breach of the Company Fundamental Representations and (ii) for Fraud. Purchaser and Sellers may not avoid the limitations on liability and recovery set forth in this Article V by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory or liability. Nothing in this Section 5.8(c) shall prevent or prohibit a party from seeking and/or obtaining specific performance in accordance with Section 7.13.

(d)               No Losses shall be recoverable hereunder that constitute punitive damages except for any such damages or Losses awarded or granted in connection with a claim by a third party.

Article VI
AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1           Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation and Interference.

(a)               The Sellers acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6.1 are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects and essential to protect the value of the business and Assets of the Company; (ii) the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Shares in reliance on the covenants made by the Sellers in this Section 6.1; and (iii) the Purchaser would not have agreed to purchase the Shares in the absence of the covenants made by the Sellers in this Section 6.1. Therefore, each Management Shareholder agrees that, during the Restricted Period, such Management Shareholder shall not participate or engage, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, agent, officer, subcontractor, consultant, director, stockholder, partner, joint venture partner or investor, in Competitive Activities anywhere in the world. Each Seller further agrees that, during the Restricted Period, no Seller shall, directly or indirectly, for its own account or for the account of any other individual or entity, engage in Interfering Activities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent a Seller from acquiring investment securities representing not more than 3% of the voting securities of any corporation where such securities are listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange.

(b)               If any court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the duration or the geographic scope of any of the provisions of this Section 6.1 unenforceable, the other provisions of this Section 6.1 shall nevertheless stand and the duration and/or geographic scope set forth herein shall be deemed to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible by law under the circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that such court shall reduce the time period and/or geographic scope to a permissible duration or size.

(c)               Without limiting the remedies available to the Purchaser, each Seller acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.1 may result in material irreparable injury to the Purchaser and/or the other Purchaser Group Companies (including the Company) for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Group Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach hereof, restraining each Seller from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 6.1 or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 6.1 hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Group Company seeks to enforce such covenants against a Seller if it is ultimately determined that such Seller was in breach of such covenants.

Section 6.2           Termination of Related Party Contracts. Except for the Contracts set forth on Schedule 6.2 of the Disclosure Schedules, effective as of the Closing, each Contract between any Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company) or any member of their respective immediate family, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (each, a “Related Party Contract”), will be automatically terminated and of no further effect, with no further liability of any party thereto, and the Sellers shall execute any and all instruments reasonably requested by the Purchaser in connection therewith.

Section 6.3           Representative; Power of Attorney. By their approval of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Sellers shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed, authorized and directed the Sellers’ Representative to act as the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for the Sellers for all purposes under this Agreement, including the full power and authority on the Sellers’ behalf to: (i) negotiate disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith, (ii) receive and disburse to the Sellers any funds received on behalf of the Sellers under this Agreement or otherwise, (iii) execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby or thereby or executed in connection herewith or therewith, (iv) exercise in his, her or its discretion, all rights and powers expressly conferred on the Sellers’ Representative hereunder and (v) take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith or therewith. The Sellers, by approving this Agreement, further agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Seller. All decisions and actions by the Sellers’ Representative shall be binding upon all of the Sellers, and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Sellers’ Representative shall have no duties or obligations hereunder except those set forth herein and such duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. In addition, the Sellers’ Representative shall have all such incidental powers as may be necessary or desirable to carry into effect the provisions of this Section 6.3, including, at the expense of the Sellers, to retain attorneys, accountants and other advisors to assist him in the performance of his duties, and/or the exercise of his rights and powers, hereunder. Each Seller shall, only to the extent of such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnification Share, indemnify and defend the Sellers’ Representative and hold the Sellers’ Representative harmless against any loss, damage, cost, Liability or expense actually incurred without fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Sellers’ Representative (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance, performance or administration of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement. Any expenses or taxable income incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall not be the personal obligation of the Sellers’ Representative but shall be payable by and attributable to the Sellers based on their respective Pro Rata Indemnification Shares.

Section 6.4           Release.

(a)               In further consideration of the transactions contemplated hereby, each Seller for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives and holds the Purchaser, the Company, their respective Affiliates, predecessors and assigns, and their respective directors (or Persons in similar positions), officers, employees, equityholders and agents harmless from and against any and all claims of any nature (the “Seller Claims”), arising from the beginning of the world to and through the Closing, except for (i) claims that relate to such Seller’s rights under this Agreement or any of the other ancillary agreements or instruments executed pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) such Seller’s rights to indemnification under the Company’s Fundamental Documents in effect on the Closing Date for having served as an officer or director of the Company (the “Release”). It is further agreed and understood that this Release is a full and final release of all the Seller Claims whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, manifested or unmanifested, except for those exceptions described in the previous sentence. Each Seller hereby waives the protection of any provision of any Law that would operate to preserve claims that are unknown as of the Closing Date.

(b)               By execution and delivery of this Agreement, as of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, hereby (A) ratifies all prior actions of the current and former directors and officers of the Company, and fully releases and forever discharges each such director and officer and his or her respective successors and assigns from any and all claims, suits, debts and demands whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, whether at law, in equity or otherwise, which such Seller and their respective successors and assigns ever had, or now or hereafter may have arising from or relating to such Person’s service as a director or officer and his or her acts and omissions as such director or officer (except for fraud or intentional violation of Law).

(c)               Except for the Contracts set forth on Schedule 6.2 of the Disclosure Schedules, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, as of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, waives all rights under, and agrees to the automatic termination of any Contract between such Seller and any of its Affiliates and immediate family members, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand.

Section 6.5           R&W Insurance Policy. At or prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall obtain the R&W Insurance Policy attached hereto as Exhibit D for the benefit of Purchaser and its Affiliates. Purchaser shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all premiums, fees, costs, and expenses of the R&W Insurance Policy (whether incurred by the Company directly or by the Purchaser). During the policy period of the R&W Insurance Policy, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of the Purchaser Indemnitees to, (i) maintain such R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect, (ii) not amend or otherwise modify the subrogation provisions contained in the R&W Insurance Policy or take any action that would result in the cancellation, termination, amendment or modification of the R&W Insurance Policy and (iii) continue to honor its obligations under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 6.6           Employee Matters.

(a)               From and after the Closing Date until the first (1st) anniversary thereof (or until such earlier time that the Continuing Employee (as defined below) is no longer employed by the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries), the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide to each Business Employee who continues their employment with the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) (i) base salary at a rate that is no less favorable than the base salary rate provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits (including target annual cash incentive compensation opportunities but excluding nonqualified deferred compensation benefits, defined benefit plan benefits, retiree health and welfare benefits, equity and equity-based awards, severance benefits and change in control plans, programs and arrangements) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either those provided to (x) such Continuing Employees by the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing Date or (y) similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time.

(b)               The Purchaser shall, and shall cause, service rendered by Continuing Employees prior to the Closing Date to be taken into account for all purposes including participation, coverage, vesting and level of benefits, as applicable, under all employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Company) from and after the Closing Date (collectively, the “New Plans”), to the same extent as such service was taken into account immediately prior to the Closing under corresponding Company Plan for such purposes; provided, however, that no service shall be credited (i) to the extent that it would result in duplication of any benefits for the same period of service, (ii) for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit pension plans or retiree health or welfare plan or arrangement or vesting under any equity or equity-based plan or arrangement, or (z) to the extent that such service is not generally recognized under such New Plan for similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to, cause to be waived any pre-existing condition exclusions and similar limitations under any New Plans that provide welfare benefits in which Continuing Employees commence participation during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs to the extent such exclusions or limitations were waived or satisfied by a Continuing Employee under any Company Plan providing welfare benefits in which the Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing.

(c)               Nothing contained in this Section, expressed or implied, shall (i) create or confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any employee of the Company or any right of employment or engagement or continued employment or engagement or any particular term or condition of employment or engagement for any Continuing Employee or any other Person, (ii) be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any New Plan or Company Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement, or contract, (iii) prohibit or limit the ability of Purchaser to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement, or contract at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them or (iv) confer any rights, remedies or benefits (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement.

Section 6.7           Director and Officer Indemnification. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company to, amend, repeal or modify any provision of the Company’s Fundamental Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any officers or directors, it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of the Company shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the full extent of the Law.

Section 6.8           Tax Matters.

(a)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, value added, excise, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. Purchaser shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(b)               The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, at Purchaser’s expense, all Tax Returns of the Company that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and shall timely pay all Taxes due as reflected on such Tax Returns. The Purchaser and the Seller’s Representative shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit or Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon request therefor) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Article VII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1           No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, personal representatives, heirs and estates, as the case may be.

Section 7.2           Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the parties hereto shall pay its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any legal and accounting fees, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or the Company shall be responsible for any expenses of the Sellers in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.3           Confidentiality. Each of the Sellers agrees that it will not, and will cause its respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, for themselves and on behalf of any other Person, from and after the Closing Date, use for its benefit, or disclose to any Person, any proprietary information of the Company or its Affiliates or information with respect to customers, suppliers, employees or the financial affairs of the Company or its Affiliates, or any other confidential matter, obtained or developed prior to the Closing with respect to any aspect of the business of the Company or its Affiliates. The obligations set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to any such information shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when such information is in the public domain through no wrongful act (including negligence and willful misconduct) on the part of any of the Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Sellers shall be permitted to make disclosures concerning such information (i) in connection with any Tax Returns filed by such Seller, (ii) in connection with enforcing such Seller’s rights pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) to the extent such information was or becomes available to such Seller from a third party who is not known to such Seller to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto. No press release or other public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by the Sellers without the prior written approval of the Purchaser unless required by Law (in the reasonable opinion of counsel), in which case the Purchaser shall have the right to review and comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to the issuance, distribution or publication thereof.

Section 7.4           Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among such parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement, including any letter of intent, dated as of or prior to the date hereof, among the Company, the Sellers, the Purchaser or any Affiliates of the foregoing.

Section 7.5           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto; provided, that the Purchaser may assign any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to (a) any Affiliate of the Purchaser; (b) any Person who shall acquire substantially all of the Assets of the Purchaser or a majority in voting power of the capital shares or equity interests of the Purchaser (whether pursuant to a merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests or otherwise); and (c) any lender of the Purchaser (or any agent therefor) for security purposes and the assignment thereof by any such lender or agent to the Purchaser in connection with the exercise by any such lender or agent of all of its rights and remedies as a secured creditor with respect thereto; provided, in each case, the Purchaser remains primarily liable for all of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.6           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic method), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 7.8           Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Section 7.9           Incorporation of Annexes, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits. The annexes attached hereto, the Disclosure Schedules and the exhibits identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Section 7.10       Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for in separately numbered and lettered sections corresponding to sections and subsections of this Agreement; provided, however, that each section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Schedules only to the extent the applicability of such disclosure to another section of the Schedules is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. Information reflected in the Disclosure Schedules is not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional information is set forth for informational purposes and does not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. The disclosure of such additional information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed, and the disclosure of such information shall not be deemed to enlarge or enhance any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement or otherwise alter in any way the terms of this Agreement. The inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, assets, liabilities, financial position, operations or results of operations of the Company.

Section 7.11       Construction. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any such party.

Section 7.12       Independence of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a representation and warranty hereunder.

Section 7.13       Remedies. The parties hereto shall each have and retain all rights to pursue actions for specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (including the remedy of rescission) to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that any breach by it of this Agreement will cause one or more of the other parties irreparable harm that may not be adequately compensable by monetary damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief without having to prove irreparable harm or actual damages. The foregoing right shall be in addition to such other rights or remedies as may be available to any party hereunder.

Section 7.14       Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements imposed hereby on such party and to cause the transactions contemplated herein (including the transfer of the Shares to the Purchaser) to be consummated as contemplated herein and shall, from time to time and without further consideration, either before or after the Closing, execute such further instruments and take such other actions as any other party hereto shall reasonably request in order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.15       Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.16       Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, Laws of the State of Delaware will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

Section 7.17       Exclusive Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Any suit, action or proceeding brought by any party hereto seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any court located in the County of Wilmington, Delaware, or the United States of America for the District of Delaware. Each party hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court located in the County of Wilmington, Delaware, or the United States of America for the District of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction in any suit, action or proceeding brought by any other party hereto seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party hereto anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that service of process on such party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.17 in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 7.18       Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document.
