To the Company’s Knowledge, no event or circumstance has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under any Intellectual Property Agreement or result in a termination thereof or would cause or permit the acceleration or other changes of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit thereunder.

(d) The NTN IP and Intellectual Property licensed under the Intellectual Property Agreements are all of the Intellectual Property necessary to operate the Business as presently conducted. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the loss or impairment of or payment of any additional amounts with respect to, nor require the consent of any other Person in respect of, Purchaser’s right to own, use or hold for use any Intellectual Property as owned, used or held for use in the conduct of the Business as currently conducted.

(e) No license or sublicense fees, royalties, honorariums or other fees are payable by the Company to any other Person in connection with the Company’s ownership and use of the NTN IP or the Company’s ownership, use, sale, licensing, sublicensing or distribution of products covered by the NTN IP.

(f) None of the Intellectual Property has been abandoned and no proceeding is pending, instituted or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, which challenge the validity of the ownership by the Company of, or right of the Company to use, such Intellectual Property. The Company has not entered into any patent or trademark license, technology transfer, or non-competition agreement relating to the Purchased Assets.

The Company is not subject to any outstanding or prospective Governmental Order (including any motion or petition therefor) that does or would restrict or impair the use of any NTN IP.

3.8 Technology and Know-How. Other than nonexclusive licenses or other software or services used in or associated with the Business that are generally commercially available, all of the technology and know-how used in the Business are owned exclusively by the Company, free and clear of all Liens, infringements, licenses, restrictions and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens. To the Company’s Knowledge, no proceedings are pending and no claim has been made which challenges the rights of the Company in respect of any of the technology and know-how.

4.8 Independent Investigation.

(a) Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of, and reached its own independent conclusions regarding, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business and its operations, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects. Purchaser acknowledges that it and its Representatives have been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, premises, records and other documents and information of and relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities for such purpose. Purchaser has been represented by, and had the assistance of, counsel in the conduct of its due diligence, the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Other Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In entering into this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it has relied solely upon its own investigation, review and analysis and has not relied on and is not relying on any representation, warranty, opinion, projection, forecast, statement, memorandum, presentation, advice, information or other statement made or provided by, on behalf of or relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Business except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III (as modified by the Company Disclosure Schedule).

5.3 Accounts Receivable. In the event the Company receives any payment relating to any Account Receivable outstanding on or after the Closing Date, such payment shall be the property of, and shall be immediately forwarded and remitted to, Purchaser. The Company will promptly endorse and deliver to Purchaser any cash, checks or other documents received by the Company on account of any such Accounts Receivable. The Company shall advise Purchaser (promptly following the Company’s becoming aware thereof) of any counterclaims or set-offs that may arise subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to any Accounts Receivable.

5.4 Bank Accounts. The Company shall take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to transfer its right, title and interest in and to the Business Bank Accounts as of the Closing Date to Purchaser or its designees, including such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to irrevocably relinquish the signatory authority of the Company’s designees and designating the individuals identified by Purchaser as authorized signatories with respect to such accounts as of the Closing Date.

5.5 Payment of Excluded Liabilities. The Company covenants and agrees to pay or otherwise satisfy, as the case may be, all Excluded Liabilities, as and when due, in accordance with the respective terms thereof subject to any and all of their rights and defenses available under applicable law.

5.6 Public Announcements. The Company and Purchaser each agree not to make any public release, disclosure or announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except such release, disclosure or announcement as may be required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release, disclosure or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to review and comment on such release, disclosure or announcement in advance of it being made; provided, however, that a party shall not be required to provide any such review or comment to the other party to the extent that such release, disclosure or announcement relates to any dispute between the parties relating to this Agreement; provided, further, that each party may make statements that are consistent with previous public releases, disclosures or announcements made by Purchaser or the Company in compliance with this Section 5.6.

5.7 Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition.

(a) The Company acknowledges that it has extensive knowledge and a unique understanding of the Business, has been directly involved with the establishment and the continued development of the Business and has had access to proprietary and Confidential Information and that the Company is receiving sufficient consideration for the termination of the Company’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets and the sale of the goodwill of the Business and that if it were to compete with Purchaser or any of its present or future subsidiaries or Affiliates in the licensing, development, production, marketing, commercialization or sale of any network, services or hardware (including tablets, tablet cases, charging racks, personal computer servers and related equipment) through which entertainment offerings (such as, trivia, sports, card and arcade games) are made available to end users (the “Interactive Entertainment Business”) following the Closing, great harm would come to Purchaser and those of its present or future subsidiaries and Affiliates engaged in the Interactive Entertainment Business, thereby substantially diminishing the value associated with the purchase of the Purchased Assets and the Business. As a material inducement of Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and in furtherance of the acquisition of the Purchased Assets and by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby, and to more effectively protect the value of the Purchased Assets, including the goodwill of the Business, the Company agrees that:

(i) for a period of eight (8) years from the Closing Date not to, directly or indirectly, as employee, agent, stockholder, consultant, partner, director or in any other capacity, own, manage, operate, control, render services to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business, whether in corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or otherwise, in the Interactive Entertainment Business, including any business substantially similar to the Business; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to passive debt or equity interests in such a business provided such business has a class of publicly traded securities and the securities constitute not more than two percent (2%) of such outstanding securities.

(ii) for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, not to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of Purchaser or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, unless such employee is terminated by Purchaser prior to such action by the Company or any of its Affiliates or, if such employee terminated his or her employment with Purchaser voluntarily, at least six (6) months prior to such action by the Company or any of its Affiliates. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7(a)(ii) shall not apply to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees.

(iii) for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, not to solicit any Person who is a client or a customer of the Company or Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates as of the Closing Date for the purposes of providing any products or services of a type substantially similar to any of those provided by the Company prior to the Closing Date or by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates.

(b) If any provision contained in this Section 5.7 is for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Section 5.7, but this Section 5.7 will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision will not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable law, a court of competent jurisdiction will construe and interpret or reform this Section 5.7 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as will be valid and enforceable under such applicable law. The Company acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7 are reasonable, valid and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interest of Purchaser and Purchaser would be irreparably harmed by any breach of this Section 5.7 and that there would be no adequate remedy at law or in damages to compensate Purchaser for any such breach. The Company agrees that Purchaser will be entitled to injunctive relief requiring specific performance by the breaching party of this Section 5.7 and consent to the entry thereof.

5.8 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing and until the 5^th anniversary of the Closing Date: (a) the Company will treat and hold confidential all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement or in furtherance of any employment arrangement with Purchaser, and deliver promptly to Purchaser or destroy, at the request and option and sole expense of Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession, and (b) in the event that the Company is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Company will notify Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser, at its sole expense, may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.8. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Company is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Company may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request and sole expense of Purchaser, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure (other than through a breach of this Agreement by the Company).

5.9 Exclusive Dealing.

(a) From the Execution Date until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing (the “Exclusivity Period”), the Company shall not, nor will it authorize any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, discuss, negotiate or knowingly encourage, induce or facilitate the communication, making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding the Company to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (subject to Section 5.11); (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction; or (vi) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.9 and subject to compliance with this Section 5.9, prior to obtaining the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company may furnish non-public information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by such Person which the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Offer (and such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn) if: (A) neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall have breached this Section 5.9 in any material respect, (B) the Company Board concludes in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; (C) the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing provisions (including nondisclosure provisions, use restrictions, non-solicitation provisions and no hire provisions) at least as favorable to the Company as those contained in the NDA; and (D) substantially contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to Purchaser (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished or made available to Purchaser). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any Representative of the Company (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company) takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.9, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 5.9 by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) If the Company or any Representative of the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Exclusivity Period, then the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than one Business Day after the Company becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise Purchaser orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the material terms thereof). The Company shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed with respect to the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any material modification or proposed material modification thereto.

(c) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry as of the Execution Date and request the destruction or return of any nonpublic information of the Company provided to such Person.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or prohibit the Company from taking any action, or from not taking any action, in connection with a definitive agreement for a Company Merger and to consummate a Company Merger.

5.10 Proxy Statement. The Company shall prepare, subject to the full and reasonably prompt assistance of Purchaser, and cause to be filed with the SEC, the Proxy Statement, or amend the Proxy Statement if already filed. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and provide, and require its Representatives to provide, the Company and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding Purchaser that is required by Law to be included, or reasonably requested by the Company to be included, in the Proxy Statement. Purchaser and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and on the response to any comments of the SEC on the Proxy Statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC (at least three (3) days prior to the filing thereof). Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, and (ii) to respond promptly to any comments or requests of the SEC or its staff related to the Proxy Statement. If at any time before the Closing, the Company or Purchaser becomes aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then such party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other party thereof and shall cooperate with such other party in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders.

5.11 The Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) The Company shall take all action necessary under applicable Law to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of, among other things, obtaining the Required Company Stockholder Vote (such meeting, and any postponement or adjournment thereof, the “Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on the date of Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting, or a date preceding the date on which the Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled, the Company reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required Company Stockholder Vote, whether or not a quorum would be present or (ii) it will not have sufficient shares of the Company common stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting as long as the date of the Company’s Stockholders’ Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of sixty (60) calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments.

(b) The Company agrees that, subject to Section 5.11(c): (i) the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Company Board recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the recommendation of the Company Board being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); and (iii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withheld, amended, withdrawn or modified (and the Company Board shall not publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Purchaser (the actions set forth in the foregoing clause (iii), collectively, a “Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.11(b), and subject to compliance with Section 5.9, if at any time prior to the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company receives a bona fide written Superior Offer, the Company Board may make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change if, but only if, following the receipt of and on account of such Superior Offer, (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) the Company has, and has caused its financial advisors and outside legal counsel to, during the Company Notice Period, negotiate with Purchaser in good faith (if Purchaser so desires) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer, and (iii) after Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company a written offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during the Company Notice Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (after taking into account such alterations of the terms and conditions of this Agreement); provided that Purchaser receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Board has determined to change its recommendation at least three (3) Business Days in advance of such Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Company Notice Period”), which notice shall include written copies of any relevant proposed transaction agreements with any party making a potential Superior Offer. In the event of any material amendment to any Superior Offer, the Company shall be required to provide Purchaser with notice of such material amendment and the Company Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in the Company Notice Period following such notification during which the parties shall comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.11(c) and the Company Board shall not make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the end of such Company Notice Period as so extended.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or (iii) otherwise making any disclosure to the Company stockholders; provided however, that in the case of the foregoing clause (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to make such disclosure would reasonably likely be inconsistent with applicable Law, including its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further, that any such disclosures (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a change of the Company Board Recommendation unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation (i) in such communication or (ii) within two (2) Business Days after being requested in writing to do so by Purchaser.

5.12 Employee Matters.

(a) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.12 shall create any third party rights in any Business Employee, current or former employee or other service provider of the Company or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

(b) Business Employee List. From the Execution Date until the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser, on a periodic basis as reasonably requested by Purchaser, an updated Business Employee List including the information described in Section 3.20, in each case reflecting, among other changes thereto, any resignations from employment or changes in employment terms.

(c) Access to Business Employees. From the Execution Date until the Closing Date, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser, the Company shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make Business Employees available to Purchaser for the purpose of informational interviews; and (ii) provide to Purchaser contact information for Business Employees (including their email and mailing address unless prohibited by law). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.12(c), the Company shall not be required to disclose any such information (A) if doing so would violate any written obligation of confidentiality to which it or any of its Affiliates is subject or, upon the advice of counsel, would jeopardize attorney-client privilege or contravene any Laws or (B) if the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such information is competitively sensitive.

(d) Communications to Business Employees. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate in good faith regarding any written or oral communications by Purchaser or the Company to any Business Employees, whether relating to employee benefits, post-Closing terms of employment or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Offer Employees. Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.12(f), Purchaser may make offers of employment to such Business Employees selected by Purchaser in its sole discretion (each such individual to whom Purchaser makes an offer, an “Offer Employee”). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed as a representation or guarantee by the Company that any Offer Employee will accept the offers of employment, or offers to continue or accept employment, with Purchaser.

(f) Offers of Employment.

(i) Purchaser shall, as soon as practicable after the Execution Date (and in any event within twenty one (21) days after the Execution Date, assuming the Company has provided accurate contact information for all Offer Employees), make employment offers to all the Offer Employees, in each case, (A) with terms and conditions regarding compensation and employee benefits that meet the standards set forth in Section 5.12(h) and (B) effective subject to and upon the occurrence of the Closing. Such employment offers shall be on a form as shall be determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion.

(ii) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the offers of employment contemplated by this Section 5.12(f) are made, Purchaser shall provide the Company with a schedule of the Offer Employees indicating the date on which each offer was made. Purchaser shall notify the Company regarding acceptances and rejections of such offers of employment as soon as reasonably practicable.

(iii) Each Offer Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment pursuant to this Section 5.12(f) is referred to herein as a “Transferred Business Employee.”

(g) Cooperation in Transfer of Employment. Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to encourage each Offer Employee to accept Purchaser’s Compliant Offer; provided that neither the Company nor Purchaser shall be required to pay any additional compensation to such Offer Employees.

(h) Terms and Conditions of Employment. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to each Transferred Business Employee, (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate as in effect for such Transferred Business Employee immediately prior to the Execution Date, and (ii) employee benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than as in effect for similarly situated employees of Purchaser. In addition, for purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, and level of benefits under the benefit plans, programs, contracts or arrangements of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries providing benefits to any Transferred Business Employee (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”), each Transferred Business Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each Purchaser Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to a Transferred Business Employee, Purchaser shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Purchaser Benefit Plan to be waived for such Transferred Business Employee and his or her covered dependents except to the extent such conditions would not have been waived or satisfied under the employee benefit plan whose coverage is being replaced under the Purchaser Benefit Plan, and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by a Transferred Business Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of such plan year in which coverage is replaced with coverage under a Purchaser Benefit Plan to be taken into account under such Purchaser Benefit Plan with respect to the plan year in which participation in such Purchaser Benefit Plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Business Employee and his or her covered dependents for such plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Purchaser Benefit Plan. With respect to each Offer Employee, an offer of employment or offer to continue employment by or on behalf of Purchaser with all of the foregoing terms set forth in this Section 5.12(h), which, with respect to Offer Employees who receive offers of employment pursuant to Section 5.12(f), is made on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5.12(f), is referred to herein as a “Compliant Offer”.

(i) COBRA. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates with respect to any liability under COBRA or similar applicable Laws arising from the actions (or inactions) of Purchaser or its Affiliates relating to Transferred Business Employees on or after the Closing Date. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates for all liabilities, including with respect to any “qualifying event” (as defined under COBRA) of any Business Employee occurring before the Closing Date, and liabilities under similar applicable Laws incurred prior to the Closing Date.

5.13 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing, the Company shall (a) afford Purchaser reasonable access to and the right to inspect all of the assets and Contracts related to the Business; (b) furnish Purchaser with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Business as Purchaser may reasonably request; and (c) cooperate with Purchaser in its investigation of the Business; provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Company and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to disclose any information to Purchaser if such disclosure would, in the Company’s reasonable sole discretion: (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege; or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Business. Purchaser shall abide by the terms of the NDA with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this section.

5.14 Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets. However, any Liabilities arising out of the failure of the Company to comply with the requirements and provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities.

5.15 [Intentionally Omitted]..

5.16 Notification of Certain Matters; Other Agreements.

(a) The Company shall promptly deliver notice to Purchaser in writing of any specific event or circumstance of which it has Knowledge, or of which it receives notice, that: (i) has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not being satisfied; (ii) the consent of any Person is or may be required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) there is any Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened that relates to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company is or may be inaccurate or otherwise breached; or (v) may otherwise be a material development in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Article VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and its members, shareholders, managers, directors, officers, and Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Adverse Consequences incurred by any Indemnified Party (i) arising out of or in connection with the breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation by the Company contained in this Agreement, (ii) arising out of or in connection with any failure by the Company to perform any of the covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, (iii) which are Excluded Liabilities, and (iv) arising out of any and all claims or demands for commissions or other compensation by any broker, finder or similar agent claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of the Company; provided that, in each case, such Adverse Consequences do not arise out of any wrongful conduct of Purchaser.

(b) As used herein, the term “Adverse Consequences” means all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed on any recovery received by a party to be indemnified as a result of any Adverse Consequences), Liens, losses, expenses and fees, court costs and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and include, without limitation, those based on strict liability, equity or other theories of law.

(c) Following the Closing, except for claims and causes of action arising out of (i) Fraud or willful misconduct, or (ii) any employment agreements, non-compete agreements (including Section 5.7 hereof), confidentiality agreements (including Section 5.8 hereof) consulting agreements or other agreements executed in connection herewith, any claim or cause of action (whether such claim sounds in tort, contract or otherwise and including statutory rights and remedies) based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought in accordance with the provisions, and subject to the applicable limitations, contained in this Agreement, which shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any such claim or cause of action.

6.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain effective, subject to the provisions of Article VII.

6.3 Indemnification Escrow. On the Closing Date, the Company acknowledges that Purchaser shall deposit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnification Escrow Account, the sum of $100,000 (the “Indemnification Fund”), to be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.

Article VII

LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION AND COOPERATION

7.1 Term. Any rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification under Article VI shall apply only to Claims Notices that have been delivered by Purchaser to the Company on or before the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”).

7.2 Indemnification Basket and Cap. Any right of Purchaser to indemnification under Article VI shall not apply to any Adverse Consequences until the aggregate of all such Adverse Consequences totals $10,000 (the “Indemnity Basket”), in which event such indemnities shall apply to the amount of all such Adverse Consequences. The aggregate amount for which the Company may be liable under Article VI shall not exceed $100,000 (the “Indemnity Cap”).

7.3 Disregard of Qualifications. For purposes of determining whether the amount of Adverse Consequences under Article VI has totaled or exceeds the Indemnity Basket, the representations and warranties made by the Company will be deemed to be made, and the covenants or obligations of the Company will be deemed to be stated, without qualification as to the concepts of materiality stated therein.

7.4 Procedures with Respect to Claims.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after Purchaser has actual knowledge of any Adverse Consequences, Purchaser will give written notice to the Company (“Claims Notice”), which shall state, in reasonable detail, the nature, basis and amount (to the extent then known based on a good faith calculation) of such Adverse Consequences. No delay on the part of Purchaser in notifying the Company shall relieve the Company from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Company is thereby prejudiced. The Company shall deliver a written response (the “Claims Response”) to any Claims Notice within twenty (20) calendar days after the date that such Claims Notice was received by the Company (the “Response Period”). Any Claims Response must specify whether the Company disputes the Adverse Consequences described in the Claims Notice (or the amount set forth therein).

(b) If the Company (i) fails to deliver a Claims Response within the Response Period or (ii) elects not to dispute the Adverse Consequences described in a Claims Notice, then the amount included in such Claims Notice with respect to such undisputed Adverse Consequences will be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of the Company, and the Company shall cause the Indemnification Escrow Agent to release from escrow and disburse to Purchaser, in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, within three (3) Business Days after the last day of the applicable Response Period, the amount of cash equal to the amount specified in the Claims Notice with respect to such undisputed Adverse Consequences, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII.

(c) If the Company delivers a Claims Response within the Response Period indicating that it disputes one or more of the Adverse Consequences identified in the Claims Notice, the Company and Purchaser shall promptly meet and use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle the dispute. If the Company and Purchaser are unable to reach agreement within twenty (20) calendar days after the conclusion of the Response Period, then Purchaser may resort to other legal remedies, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII. In connection with the assertion of any such other legal remedies, upon either (i) receipt of a non-appealable final order of a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter of a Claims Notice or (ii) written agreement of Purchaser and the Company with respect to the resolution of the subject matter of a Claims Notice, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the Company an amount of Adverse Consequences in accordance with such determination or resolution, which shall be paid to Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.5, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VII.

7.5 Payment of Claims. Within three (3) Business Days of the determination pursuant to Section 7.4(c) of the amount of Adverse Consequences with respect to which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall direct the Indemnification Escrow Agent to release from escrow and disburse to Purchaser the amount of cash equal to the amount of such Adverse Consequences held under the Indemnification Escrow Account, in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement. The Purchaser and the Company shall treat any indemnification payments made under this Article VII as adjustments to the total consideration for all federal and state income tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law.

7.6 Release of Indemnification Escrow. If the Indemnification Fund is deposited into the Indemnification Escrow Account in accordance with Section 6.3, on the Survival Date, Purchaser and the Company shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Indemnification Escrow Agent to release to the Company all amounts then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account that are not subject to an existing claim, in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.
