(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, any other Ancillary Document, or any schedule, certificate, or exhibit related thereto;

(iii) any Third Party Claim based upon, resulting from, or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets, or obligations of Seller Parties or any of their Affiliates (other than the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities) conducted, existing, or arising on or prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Third Party Claim” means notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing.

Section 8.03. Indemnification by the Buyer Parties. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, the Buyer Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and defend each of Seller Parties and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, or with respect to:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer Parties contained in this Agreement or any schedule, certificate, or exhibit related thereto as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);

(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation to be performed by the Buyer Parties pursuant to this Agreement or any schedule, certificate, or exhibit related thereto;

(iii) the operation of the Business and/or the Purchased Assets following the Closing; or

(iv) any Assumed Liabilities.

Section 8.04. Indemnification Procedures. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly provide written notice of such claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Action by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend against such Action in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 8.05. Cumulative Remedies.

The rights and remedies provided for in this Article VIII are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

Section 8.06. Limitations.

(i) Seller Parties shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnitees for any Losses under Section 8.02 until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02 exceeds $25,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event Seller Parties shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(ii) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.02, or for which the Buyer Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.03, shall not exceed $1,210,000 , respectively; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller Parties shall be liable for breaches of any of Seller’s Fundamental Representations, or for which a Buyer Party shall be liable for breaches of any of such Buyer Party’s Buyer Party Fundamental Representations, shall not exceed the Purchase Price, respectively. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.05(ii), a cap of the Purchase Price shall also apply to the aggregate amount of the indemnification payments that either the Seller or the Buyer Parties, respectively, shall be required to make under this Agreement. No cap shall apply to Seller Parties’ or the Buyer Parties’, respectively, liability for Losses in connection with any claims made by the other party based on fraud.

(iii) Payments by the Seller Parties to the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.02 shall be limited to the amount of any liability or Losses that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of any such claim. The Buyer Indemnitees shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses before seeking indemnification from the Seller under this Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than payments by Seller Parties with respect to fraud by Seller Parties, payments by a Seller Party to the Buyer Indemnitees shall be payable only in either (a) Stock actually issued to such Seller Party or its designees pursuant to this Agreement, the value of which shall be calculated based on the closing Nasdaq Capital Market price of the Stock as of the Business Day immediately prior to the date such payment is made pursuant to this Article VIII or (b) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in a maximum aggregate amount equal to the cash actually received by such Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable hereunder to any Indemnified Party for any Losses (as defined in this Agreement) unless such Losses are determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, except in each case to the extent any such Losses are included in any proceeding by a third party against such Indemnified Party for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 8.07. Exclusive Remedy. Except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the parties to this Agreement or with respect to claims for specific performance or injunctive relief, the rights and remedies provided in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breaches of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties to this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX.
