5.6.           Specific Performance . Each of Purchaser and Seller acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached.

6.4.           Limitations on Indemnification Obligations .

(a)          Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to receive amounts pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (other than for Losses relating to breaches of the Special Representations) for any individual item or series of related items based on substantially the same facts and circumstances where the Losses relating to such item or series of related items based on substantially the same facts and circumstances are less than $2,500, and such Losses shall not be applied against the Basket.

(b)          Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Losses arising under Section 6.2(a) (other than pursuant to breaches or inaccuracies in any of the Special Representations) until the aggregate amount of all Losses thereunder exceeds $25,000 (the “ Basket ”); provided , however , that once such aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Basket, Seller shall be liable for the entire amount of such Losses otherwise recoverable under Section 6.2(a) .

(c)          Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Losses arising under Section 6.2(a) (other than pursuant to breaches or inaccuracies in any of the Special Representations) in excess of an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (the “ Cap ”).

6.5.           Indemnification Procedures .

(a)           Notice of Claims; Assumption of Defense . The indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the indemnifying Party, in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3 , of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any Person, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefor and giving the indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to indemnification hereunder (unless the indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice). The indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, (i) participate in the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding and (ii) upon notice to the indemnified Party and the indemnifying Party’s written agreement that the indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 for Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided , however , that (A) the indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party; (B) the indemnifying Party has confirmed in writing its responsibility for such Losses to such indemnified Party under Section 6.2 or 6.3 , as applicable and (C) the indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the indemnified Party upon the indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is the indemnifying Party, Seller shall not be entitled to assume such defense if Purchaser reasonably believes that such assumption may adversely affect in any material respect the Business, including any adverse effect upon the Business’ commercial relationships or relationships with Governmental Authorities. If the indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying Party. If, however, in the opinion of the indemnified Party’s counsel, the representation by the indemnifying Party’s counsel of both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and the indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel. Whether or not the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

(b)           Settlement or Compromise . Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the indemnified Party or the indemnifying Party, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in this Section 6.5 shall also be binding upon the indemnifying Party or the indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided , however , that the indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such claim, or otherwise acknowledge or admit the validity of such claim or any Liability in respect thereof if such settlement, compromise, acknowledgement or admission (i) would result in an order, injunction or other equitable remedy in respect of the indemnified Party or would otherwise have a direct adverse effect upon the indemnified Party’s continuing operations, (ii) would give rise to any Liability on the part of the indemnified Party for which the indemnifying Party shall have not agreement in writing that such indemnifying Party is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim, (iii) would result in Liabilities which, taken together with other existing claims under this Article VII , would not be fully indemnified hereunder, or (iv) would reasonably be expected to increase the Liability of the indemnified Party for Taxes after the Closing Date; in each case, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of, and responsibility for, such claim, suit, action or proceeding and if it does so the proposed settlement or compromise may not be made.

(c)           Failure of Indemnifying Party to Act . In the event that the indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the indemnified Party to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder; provided , however , that the indemnified Party shall have given the indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ notice of its proposed failure to defend or participate and affords the indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense thereof prior to the end of such period.

(d)           Procedure for Indemnification . Upon becoming aware of a claim for indemnification hereunder (whether as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in this Section 6.5 or in connection with any Losses which the indemnified Party deems to be within the ambit of this Article VII or otherwise), the indemnified Party shall give, in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3 , notice of such claim (a “ Claim Notice ”) to the indemnifying Party, providing reasonable detail of how the claim has arisen and an estimate (if possible) of the amount the indemnified Party reasonably anticipates that it will be entitled to on account of indemnification by the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party does not object to such indemnification claim within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof, the amount of such Claim Notice shall be deemed final and undisputed and the indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of such claim.

6.6.           Calculation of Indemnity Payments . The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and shall be (a) increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such indemnified amount. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified amount. For purposes of determining the existence of, and calculating the amount of, any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of any Party set forth in this Agreement, any reference to “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” or other correlative terms in such representations or warranties shall be disregarded.

6.7.           Indemnity Escrow . In pursuing the collection of any claims for Losses under this Article VII , each Purchaser Indemnitee’s initial recourse shall be to proceed against the funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account for the amount of such claim in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Such funds shall be the initial, but not the sole, source of recovery for Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VII . The funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be released in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.7 . All title and all rights to (i) a portion of the funds in the Escrow Account in an amount equal to $100,000 shall be released to Seller upon Purchaser receiving written evidence as to the extension of the shelf life of the products listed on Schedule 6.7A to five (5) years and (ii) a portion of the funds in the Escrow Account in an amount equal to $50,000 shall be released to Seller upon Purchaser receiving written evidence as to the extension of the shelf life of the products listed on Schedule 6.7B hereto to five (5) years. The remainder of the Escrow Account funds shall be released to Seller in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

6.8.           Right of Setoff . With respect to claims for Losses under this Article VII by any Purchaser Indemnitee for amounts in excess of the funds held in the Indemnity Escrow Account, such Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to demand from Seller satisfaction of such excess amounts:

(a)           First , by payment of cash; and

(b)           Second , through a set-off against any amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff or to give a notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

6.9.           Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments . For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and Seller agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

6.10.          Expiration of Claims . The ability of any Purchaser Indemnitee to receive indemnification from Purchaser under Section 6.2(a) (other than pursuant to breaches or inaccuracies in any of the Special Representations), shall terminate upon expiration of the Survival Period. If a Purchaser Indemnitee made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, such claim and the right to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim shall survive the expiration of the Survival Period until the final resolution of such claim and the payment of all indemnifiable amounts with respect thereto (if any).

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall timely file all Tax Returns to be filed prior to the Closing with respect to the Business and the Acquired Assets, and all Tax Returns of Seller, and timely pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. To the extent any such Tax Return could affect the Taxes of Purchaser, such Tax Return shall be prepared consistently with the practices and procedures of Seller before the date hereof. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall timely file all Tax Returns with respect to the Business and the Acquired Assets due after the Closing Date and all Tax Returns of Purchaser.

7.2.           Allocation of Taxes . For purposes of this Agreement, if any Tax (or Tax refund) relates to a period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date, the Parties shall use the following conventions for determining the portion of such Tax (or Tax refund) that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion that relates to a Post-Closing Tax Period: (a) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period, and the remaining amount of such Taxes (or Tax refunds) shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, employment Taxes and sales and use Taxes), the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology,” and the remaining amount of the Taxes (or Tax refunds) for such period shall be attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. For purposes of clause (b), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (a) for periodic Taxes.

7.3.           Cooperation on Tax Matters .

7.4.           Transfer Taxes . Any and all goods and services, sales, use, purchase and transfer Taxes, including any value added, excise, stock transfer, gross receipts, stamp duty, real estate transfer and real, personal, or intangible property transfer Taxes and other such Taxes and any conveyance fees or recording charges due by reason of the transfer of the Acquired Assets, including any interest or penalties in respect thereof (the “ Transfer Taxes ”) shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser. Purchaser shall make any required filings with respect to Transfer Taxes and Seller shall promptly pay its portion of Transfer Taxes to Purchaser.

7.5.           Tax Refunds . All refunds for Taxes that are Excluded Taxes and one hundred percent (100%) of all refunds for any Transfer Taxes shall, in each case, be for the benefit of Seller; provided , however , any refund for any such Tax that Purchaser paid that Seller has not indemnified for under this Agreement shall be for the benefit of Purchaser. To the extent Purchaser receives a refund that is for the benefit of Seller, Purchaser shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to Seller (without interest, other than interest received from the applicable Governmental Authority, and net of any out-of-pocket costs or Taxes incurred by Purchaser with respect to obtaining such refund). All refunds for Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), and all refunds for Taxes attributable to the Acquired Assets, the Business, or any employee of the Business or Seller for any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of Purchaser. To the extent Seller receives a refund that is for the benefit of Purchaser, Seller shall promptly pay the amount of such refund to Purchaser (without interest, other than interest received from the applicable Governmental Authority, and net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or Taxes incurred by Seller with respect to obtaining such refund).
