Section 1.3           Assumed Liabilities; Excluded Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchasers will assume and pay, defend, discharge and perform, as and when due the Liabilities of RGA and Elemental identified on Schedule 1.3 (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). Except for the Assumed Liabilities, (i) RGA Purchaser will not assume, and RGA will pay, defend, discharge and perform, as and when due, and otherwise retain and remain solely responsible for, all Liabilities of RGA that are not included in the Assumed Liabilities and (ii) the Sellers will pay, defend, discharge and perform, as and when due, as if solely responsible for, all Liabilities of Elemental that are not included in the Assumed Liabilities (collectively the “Excluded Liabilities”), including: (a) any Indebtedness of RGA or Elemental, (b) any Liability of any successor or Affiliate of RGA or Elemental (excluding any other Company Party), (c) any Liability of any Person, directly or indirectly related to, accruing or arising out of, caused by or resulting from the operation or conduct of the Business or the ownership of the Purchased Assets or the operation and conduct of Elemental first arising prior to the Closing, whether or not recorded on the books and records of any Person (excluding any trade or other accounts payable of RGA or Elemental payable to third parties that remain outstanding as of the Closing), (d) any Liability arising under or in any way related to the Employee Benefit Plans of RGA or Elemental, (e) without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, any Liability in respect of Taxes of Sellers, successors or Affiliates, or any Liability in respect of any Taxes arising from or relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets or Elemental or ownership or operation thereof for or accruing or arising at any time in respect of any period (or portion thereof) up to the Closing, (f) any Liability directly or indirectly related to, accruing or arising out of, caused by or resulting from the operation or ownership of the Excluded Assets, (g) any Liability arising out of or in connection with any Legal Proceedings set forth on Section 4.1(c)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, and (f) any Transaction Expenses incurred by the Sellers, Elemental or the Equityholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that unless a Liability is within the definition of Assumed Liabilities under this Section 1.3 or Schedule 1.3, neither Purchaser nor any of their Affiliates will assume, nor will any of them be liable for, such Liability.

Section 1.4           Electronic Transfer of Certain Assets. The Parties agree that, at the request of RGA Purchaser and at Sellers’ expense, Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any of the Purchased Assets that can be transmitted to RGA Purchaser electronically promptly following the Closing in a secure format and manner mutually agreeable to the Parties and such Purchased Assets will not be delivered to RGA Purchaser on any tangible medium. After the Closing, subject to Section 6.7, Sellers will not directly or indirectly use any copies of such Purchased Assets under its custody or control except for (a) the purpose of verifying delivery of or re-delivering such Purchased Assets to RGA Purchaser or (b) complying with this Agreement or the Related Agreements. Upon the written request of RGA Purchaser following the Closing, subject to Section 6.7 and excluding any Excluded Assets, Sellers will return or destroy any such copies of the Purchased Assets using commercially reasonable means (excluding any copies created by automatic back-up systems in the ordinary course), but, in any event, will not thereafter directly or indirectly permit or perform any recovery or restoration thereof, whether through forensics, archives, undeletion, or otherwise.

Section 1.5           Inability to Assign Assigned Contracts.

(a)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement, to the extent that the assignment or attempted assignment to Purchasers of any Contract or Permit that is included among the Purchased Assets, including any Inbound License relating to Software included in the Purchased Assets or a Contract or Permit of Elemental (each such Contract, an “Assigned Contract”), or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is prohibited by any Law, or would require any consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation by any Person, and such consent, waiver, authorization, notice or novation has not been obtained or made prior to the Closing in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchasers, or with respect to which any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would materially and adversely affect the rights of Sellers or Purchasers thereunder, then neither this Agreement nor any Related Agreement will constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof, and the same will not be assigned at the Closing.

(b)                Both prior to and in the twenty-four months following the Closing, Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts and reasonably cooperate with Purchasers to obtain promptly all consents, waivers, authorizations or novations and to timely give all notices required with respect to the Assigned Contracts or the contracts of Elemental, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchasers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Purchasers and Sellers will each bear and pay 50% of the cost of all filing, recordation and similar fees and Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the assignment of the Assigned Contracts and any additional fees or charges (howsoever denominated) required by any Person in connection with the assignment of any of the Assigned Contracts or any related consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice.

(c)                If any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice that is required for the effective assignment to Purchasers of any Assigned Contract cannot be obtained or made and, as a result, the material benefits of such Assigned Contract cannot be provided to Purchasers following the Closing as otherwise required in accordance with this Agreement, then in the twenty-four months following the Closing, Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchasers with the economic benefits and, to the extent they constitute Assumed Liabilities, obligations (taking into account all burdens and benefits, including Tax costs and benefits) and operational benefits of any such Assigned Contract, and to permit Purchasers to perform such Seller’s obligations and enforce such Seller’s rights under such Assigned Contract as if such Assigned Contract had been assigned to Purchasers (and as if such Seller had obtained or made such consent, waiver, authorization, novation, or notice as the case may be), including (i) enforcing, at Purchasers’ request and expense, any rights of such Seller arising with respect thereto, including the right to terminate such Assigned Contract upon the request of Purchasers, and (ii) permitting Purchasers to enforce any rights arising with respect thereto. Sellers will pay to Purchasers, when received, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Sellers from third parties to the extent related to Purchasers’ intended rights under any Assigned Contract, and Purchasers will indemnify and promptly pay Sellers for all Assumed Liabilities associated with such Assigned Contract, in each case, as contemplated by this Agreement, including this Section 1.5(c). Once a consent, waiver, authorization or novation for any such Contract is obtained or notice is properly made in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the applicable Seller will assign such Assigned Contract to Purchasers at no additional cost to Purchasers. Any expenses incurred by any Party in connection with the arrangements contemplated by this Section 1.5(c) will be borne 50% by Purchasers and 50% by Sellers. For purposes of this Section 1.5, it shall be reasonable for Purchaser not to accept the form and substance of any consent, waiver, authorization, novation or notice if it (i) changes or modifies, in any material respect, any Assigned Contract or (ii) results in any material cost to Purchasers.

Section 1.6           Employee and Independent Contractor Matters.

(a)                Sellers agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchasers in its efforts to employ the Key Employees and substantially all employees of Sellers, other than the Equityholders (except for any Equityholder who is a Key Employee), who are able to pass the background check that is a part of Purchasers’ internal hiring requirements and engage substantially all of the independent contractors of Sellers, and the parties acknowledge and agree that employees of Sellers may contract with Purchaser to provide services to Purchasers following the Closing. Any employees of Sellers who accept an offer of employment with Purchasers may be required by Purchasers to execute documents in connection therewith and begin employment with or service to Purchasers are referred to herein collectively as the “Hired Service Providers”.

(b)                RGA Purchaser will offer employment to substantially all employees of RGA, other than the Equityholders, who are able to pass the background check that is a part of RGA Purchaser’s internal hiring requirements, including any employee who, on the Closing Date, is not actively employed by RGA or is on job-protected leave, military service leave or layoff (whether or not with recall rights), on terms and conditions of employment at least equivalent to those provided by RGA on the Closing Date. RGA Purchaser will offer all acquired employees comprehensive employee benefit packages equivalent to that provided to RGA Purchaser’s other similarly situated employees. Purchasers will not have any Liability to any individual, whose employment with RGA has been terminated (voluntarily or involuntarily) or who has retired prior to the Closing Date. RGA will bear all responsibility for, and related costs associated with the termination of its employees, including complying with the federal Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) and similar state or local Laws. Sellers will not provide any notice to employees pursuant to WARN or similar state or local Laws without prior notice to RGA Purchaser.

(c)                Prior to the Closing, RGA will terminate, effective no later than as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, all employees and independent contractors of RGA who have not been made any offer of employment or engagement with RGA Purchaser or declined employment or engagement with Purchaser. Simultaneously with such termination, RGA will pay each such terminated employee and each such terminated independent contractor all accrued wages, salaries, and fees, accrued vacation, accrued sick and personal time, if any, and all other amounts due from RGA to such employees and independent contractors, and termination or severance pay in accordance with any contract or Law.

(d)                Nothing contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, will confer upon any Hired Service Provider or any other present or former employee of RGA any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, including any right to employment or continued employment or to any compensation or benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of Purchasers, nor will anything contained in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby constitute a limitation on or restriction against the right of Purchasers to amend, modify or terminate any such plan, policy or arrangement or compensation, benefits or other terms or conditions of employment.

(e)                Sellers and Purchasers agree that Sellers will be liable for all employment-related Liabilities of Sellers with respect to the employees (including the employment Taxes imposed with respect thereto) and independent contractors of Sellers (including all Hired Service Providers) first arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date and including any employment Taxes imposed with respect to any payments of compensation to employees and independent contractors arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of whether arising or accruing on or before the Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to services provided on or prior to Closing), and Purchasers will be and become liable for all employment-related Liabilities of the Hired Service Providers (including the employment Taxes imposed with respect thereto) and all Liabilities with respect to independent contractors, in each case, first arising on or after the Closing Date, provided however, Purchasers shall not be responsible for (and Sellers shall be responsible for) any such expenses which constitute Transaction Expenses under Section 9.11 (including any bonuses paid on the Closing Date to employees). Purchasers and each Seller will adopt the “standard procedure” for preparing and filings Forms W-2, as described in Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) will consist of the assumption by Purchasers of the Assumed Liabilities as set forth in Section 1.3 and the payment by Purchasers to Sellers or such other Persons as set forth herein, of the sum of (i) $42,000,000, plus (ii) any Positive Working Capital Adjustment, plus (iii) any Earn-Out Payment, plus (iv) any Inventory Payment, or minus (v) any Negative Working Capital Adjustment, minus (vi) in the event the Actual Cash Amount is less than the Base Cash Amount, the amount by which the Base Cash Amount exceeds the Actual Cash Amount (the “Cash Shortfall Amount”).

Section 2.2           Payment of Purchase Price at Closing.

(a)                At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers will deliver to Purchasers a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”), prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, setting forth in reasonable detail (i) a balance sheet of Seller as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, (ii) Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Purchase Price payable at Closing (i.e., excluding any Earn-Out Payments), including the amount of the Net Working Capital and the Actual Cash Amount (the “Closing Purchase Price”, and, Sellers’ estimate thereof, the “Estimated Closing Purchase Price”) (iii) the amount of the Inventory Payment (if any), broken out for Sections 2 and 3 of Exhibit G, and (iv) the amounts of Seller Closing Debt and unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses to be paid at the Closing. Purchasers may submit any objections in writing to Sellers at least one (1) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing and Sellers will cooperate in good faith with Purchasers to revise the Estimated Closing Purchase Price to reflect the mutual agreement of Sellers and Purchasers. Sellers will make their respective financial records reasonably available to Purchasers and its accountants and other representatives at reasonable times at any time during the review by Purchasers of the calculation of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price.

(b)                Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, at the Closing, Purchasers will pay or cause to be paid from the Estimated Closing Purchase Price as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement, with any adjustments that are mutually determined by Purchasers and Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2(a), to Sellers or such other Persons as indicated below:

(i)                 Any Seller Closing Debt as set forth in any Payoff Letters, if any, and the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses in accordance with payment instructions delivered by Sellers to Purchasers before the Closing; and

(ii)               An amount equal to (A) $25,000,000 minus (B) the Cash Shortfall Amount, if any, minus (C) the Seller Closing Debt, minus (D) the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses to be paid at the Closing, plus (E) any Positive Working Capital Adjustment, minus (F) any Negative Working Capital Adjustment, and plus (G) any Inventory Payment; will be paid to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the bank accounts designated in writing by Sellers before the Closing. Of such amount, Elemental Purchaser shall pay to Representative the Elemental Purchase Price, with the remainder being paid by RGA Purchaser to RGA.

(c)                At the Closing, Purchasers shall issue to RGA the Promissory Note.

Section 2.3           Earn-Out.

(a)                As additional consideration for the Purchased Assets, at such times as provided in Section 2.3(c), Purchasers shall pay to the Sellers the amount set forth on the third column of the Earn-Out Table (the “Earn-Out Payment”) based upon on the Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA for the Calculation Period as set forth on the second column of the Earn-Out Table.

(b)                Procedures applicable to determination of the Earn-Out Payment.

(i)                 On or before the date which is sixty (60) days after the last day of the Calculation Period, Purchasers shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a written statement (the “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA for the Calculation Period (the “Earn-Out Calculation”). Purchasers shall provide the Representative with copies of such records and work papers used or created in connection with preparation of such Earn-Out Calculation Statement as is reasonable to support such Earn-Out Calculation Statement. The Sellers shall provide Purchasers with copies of such records and work papers as requested by Purchasers for determining the Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA for the period of the Calculation Period occurring on and prior to the Closing Date.

(ii)               The Representative shall have forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement (the “Earn-Out Review Period”) to review the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Calculation set forth therein. Prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, the Representative may object to the Earn-Out Calculation by delivering a written notice of objection (an “Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice”) to Purchasers. Any Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the Earn-Out Calculation disputed by the Representative and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. If the Representative fails to deliver an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice to Purchasers prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, then the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If the Representative timely delivers an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, Purchasers and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA.

(iii)             If Purchasers and the Representative are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) Business Days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Calculation as promptly as practicable, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchasers and Representative shall each furnish to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request. The Independent Accounting Firm shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Purchasers and Representative, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of the Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA that is the subject of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, absent manifest error (meaning a mathematical error or the use of an accounting standard that is not consistent with the respective Accounting Principles). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Purchasers and the Company Parties (pursuant to an offset in any Earn-Out Payment, if any, by cash payment, or pursuant to an offset against the Promissory Note) in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA differ from Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(c)                Any Earn-Out Payment that Purchasers is required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be paid in full by Purchasers to Sellers no later than forty-five (45) days following the date upon which the determination of Earn-Out Adjusted EBITDA becomes final and binding upon the parties as provided in Section 2.3(b) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by Representative in an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice).

Section 2.4           Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a)                As soon as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchasers will prepare and deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”), prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, setting forth, in reasonable detail, Purchasers’ calculation of the Closing Purchase Price, including the Net Working Capital and the Actual Cash Amount.

(b)                The Representative and its representatives will be entitled to review the Closing Statement, together with any financial books and records of Purchasers with respect to the Business and related to the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement to be provided upon the Representative’s reasonable request; provided, that (i) such review must be conducted at reasonable times during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Purchasers, (ii) the Representative will treat all such information as confidential and hereby waives any right to use such information for any purpose other than in connection with the determination of the final Closing Purchase Price, and (iii) the costs and expense of such review, including the fees of any third-party advisors, will be borne by the Representative. During a period of thirty (30) days after the date Purchasers delivers the Closing Statement to the Representative (the “Objection Period”), if the Representative disagrees with the Closing Statement, then the Representative will give written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Purchasers within such thirty (30)-day period specifying in reasonable detail the Representative’s disagreement with Purchaser’s determination of the Closing Purchase Price as set forth in the Closing Statement, including the Representative’s calculation of the Net Working Capital and the Actual Cash Amount. Any Objection Notice must specify those items or amounts as to which the Representative disagrees, and the Representative will be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement. If the Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then the Representative will be deemed to have agreed with the determination of the Closing Purchase Price as set forth in the Closing Statement.

(c)                If an Objection Notice is duly delivered in accordance with Section 2.4(b), Purchasers and the Representative will, during the thirty (30) days following delivery of the Objection Notice, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Disputed Purchase Price Components”) in order to determine the Closing Purchase Price, which amount must be within the range of the amount thereof shown in the Closing Statement and the amount thereof shown in the Objection Notice. If, during such thirty (30)-day period, Purchasers and the Representative are unable to reach agreement on the Disputed Purchase Price Components, they will promptly thereafter cause the Independent Accounting Firm, acting reasonably and in good faith, to review this Agreement and the Disputed Purchase Price Components for the purpose of calculating the Closing Purchase Price. The Independent Accounting Firm will determine procedures for the resolution of the dispute, subject to the terms hereof. In making its calculation of the Closing Purchase Price, the Independent Accounting Firm may consider only the Disputed Purchase Price Components. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination of any Disputed Purchase Price Components and its calculation of the Closing Purchase Price must be within the range of the amount thereof shown in the Closing Statement and the amount thereof shown in the Objection Notice. The Independent Accounting Firm will deliver to Purchasers and the Representative, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after its appointment, a report setting forth, in reasonable detail, its determination of the Closing Purchase Price. Such report will be final and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or manifest error. The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and report will be borne by Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the dollar amount of the Disputed Purchase Price Components that are not resolved in favor of Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, bears to the total dollar amount of the Disputed Purchase Price Components resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm. Each Party will bear all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.4.

(d)                Within five (5) Business Days after the end of the Objection Period, if the Representative has not delivered an Objection Notice during the Objection Period, or within five (5) Business Days of the resolution of all disputes pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the Parties will make the following payments:

(i)                If the Closing Purchase Price as finally determined under this Section 2.4 is greater than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, Purchasers will pay to RGA the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price as finally determined under this Section 2.4 exceeds the Estimated Closing Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated in writing by the Representative at least one (1) Business Days prior to such payment date.

(ii)               If the Closing Purchase Price as finally determined under this Section 2.4 is less than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, Purchasers will recover such shortfall by recovery pursuant to the Set-Off.

(iii)             For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any additional non-cash consideration be payable as a result of any adjustment to the Estimated Closing Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(d).

Section 2.5           Allocation of Closing Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the sale and/or exchange of the Purchased Assets by RGA to RGA Purchaser, the sale or exchange of the Equity Securities of Elemental by Representative to Elemental Purchaser and to the sale and/or exchange of control of the NFPs by Representative to RGA Purchaser as set forth on Schedule 2.5 hereto (the “Allocation Principles”). Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing, Sellers will prepare and deliver to Purchasers a purchase price allocation schedule in respect of each of the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities with respect to RGA, with such allocation to be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code to the extent applicable thereto and filed on IRS Form 8594, as applicable) and the allocation principles set forth on Schedule 2.5 hereto. Purchasers and Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in good faith any differences with respect to the purchase price allocation schedule. If Purchasers and Sellers are unable to resolve any such differences within thirty (30) days following Sellers’ delivery of the purchase price allocation schedule to Purchasers, Purchasers and Sellers may, for any purpose, take inconsistent positions with respect to the allocation of purchase price (including any undisputed element thereof), provided that neither Purchasers nor Sellers will take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Principles. If Purchasers does not object to the purchase price allocation schedule, or Purchasers and Sellers are able to resolve any differences within the thirty (30)-day period described above, the Parties agree to (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, each of their respective Tax Returns on a basis consistent with such allocation schedule (or such allocation schedule as agreed to by Purchasers and Sellers) and (b) unless otherwise required by Law, take no position inconsistent with such allocation schedule (or such allocation schedule as agreed to by Purchasers and Sellers) on any applicable Tax Return, in any Legal Proceeding before any Governmental Authority, in any report made for Tax, financial accounting, or any other purpose. RGA and Representative acknowledge and agree that if any payment is owed by Purchaser to Sellers, the payment of such amount to RGA shall be deemed a payment of such amount to the Sellers.

Section 2.6           Tax Withholding. Purchasers will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement the amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the Code, or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Sellers or such other Person in respect of whom such withholding was made.

(a)                Notice of Claims. Any Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder (each, a “Claiming Party”) will deliver, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons, to Sellers, or in the case of a claim against a particular Equityholder, such Equityholder and in the case of the Seller Indemnified Persons, to Purchasers (as applicable, the “Responding Party”), notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any claim (each, a “Claim”) as to which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification hereunder promptly after the Claiming Party has received notice thereof or otherwise becomes aware of such Claim; provided that failure to give timely notice will not limit the indemnification obligations of the Responding Party hereunder except to the extent the Responding Party is actually materially prejudiced by the delay in giving, or failure to give, such notice.

(b)                Objections to Claims; Resolution of Conflicts.

(i)                 The Responding Party will have the right to object to the Claiming Party’s right to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.11 for any Claim made pursuant to Section 7.2(a) by delivering written notice of such objection (each, a “Claim Objection Notice”) to the applicable Claiming Party within ten (10) Business Days following the Responding Party’s receipt of a Claim Notice (such period, the “Claim Objection Period”). The Claim Objection Notice with respect to any Claim will specify in reasonable detail the basis for the Responding Party’s objection to such Claim. In the event that the Responding Party does not object to a Claim within the Claim Objection Period, (A) the Responding Party will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Claim set forth in the Claim Notice and (B) the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ or Seller Indemnified Persons’ right to recovery in respect of such Claim will be effective as of the day following the expiration of the Claim Objection Period.

If such a settlement is reached with respect to such Claim, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ or Seller Indemnified Persons’, as applicable, right to recovery in respect of such Claim will be effective as of the date of settlement. If no such settlement can be reached after good faith negotiation during such ten (10) Business Day period, either the Claiming Party or the Responding Party may commence a Legal Proceeding to resolve such Claim in accordance with 0. This Section 7.2(b) will not apply to any Legal Proceeding for, or in any way limit the rights and remedies of any Party with respect to or such Party’s right to seek, specific performance, injunctive or declaratory relief or other equitable remedies pursuant to Section 7.6 or otherwise.

(c)                Third-Party Claims. If any Claim is a third-party claim (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) the following provisions will apply:

(i)                 The Responding Party will have the right to conduct and control the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of the Responding Party’s choice; provided that the Responding Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim diligently and must keep the Claiming Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim; and provided, further that the Claiming Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim (except that the Responding Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of the Claiming Party’s counsel (but not more than one law firm per jurisdiction) if counsel for the Claiming Party reasonably determines that counsel for the Responding Party has a conflict of interest or that there may be one or more defenses available to the Claiming Party that are not available to the Responding Party) and participate in (but not control) the defense of the Third-Party Claim. The Responding Party will not settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless: (i) the Claiming Party is given a full and complete release of any and all liability by all relevant parties to such Third-Party Claim; and (ii) the settlement does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Claiming Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Responding Party is a Seller or Equityholder, the Responding Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Purchasers or the Business, or (y) is a criminal proceeding or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Claiming Party.

(ii)               In the event that (x) the Responding Party does not elect to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim within twenty (20) Business Days following the Responding Party’s receipt of a Claim Notice, or (y) the Third-Party Claim seeks as a primary remedy an injunction or other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Claiming Party, (A) the Claiming Party will assume and conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim (and, for the avoidance of doubt, costs of such defense, including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents shall be payable by the Responding Party) and will keep the Responding Party reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Responding Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim and (C) the Claiming Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Responding Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iii)             The MMT Parties, Sellers, the Equityholders, the Responding Party and the Claiming Party will reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and will make available to the Party or Parties defending such Claim such materials and assistance relating thereto as is reasonably requested from such Person.

(d)                Enforcement of Survival Period. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 7.3 (the “Applicable Survival Period”) is longer than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item will be increased to the extended survival period set forth in this Section 7.3.

In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Representative will be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Seller, any Equityholder, any MMT Party or any other Person. The Representative may assume that any Person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(c)                The Representative will have such powers and authority as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement and in any other document delivered in connection herewith; provided, that the Representative will have no obligation to act on behalf of Sellers or the Equityholders. The Representative will at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from Equityholders which collectively owned, as of immediately prior to the Closing, more than 75% of the equity securities of Sellers; provided, that the Representative will not be required to follow any such direction, and will be under no obligation to take any action in its capacity as the Representative based upon such direction. The Representative will be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it may deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Representative) will be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Representative in its capacity as such will have no fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Seller or Equityholder and no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of any Seller or Equityholder will otherwise exist against or with respect to the Representative in its capacity as such.

(d)                In no event will the Representative be liable to any Seller or Equityholder hereunder or in connection herewith for any special, indirect, consequential, contingent, speculative, punitive or exemplary damages, or lost profits, diminution in value or any damages based on any type of multiple of earnings, cash flow or similar measure or for any liabilities resulting from the actions of a Seller or Equityholder other than the Representative acting in its capacity as such. The MMT Parties will have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Agreements, including the calculations required by Section 2.4, all of which actions or omissions will be legally binding upon Sellers and the Equityholders. The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable by any act of any Seller or by operation of Law and all of the indemnities, immunities, authority and power granted to the Representative hereunder will survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller and (ii) will survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement or any Related Agreements.

(e)                The Representative will not be liable to any Seller or Equityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative while acting in good faith. Sellers and the Equityholders will indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, members, attorneys, accountants, advisors or controlling Persons and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Representative. Each MMT Party (on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) acknowledges that the Representative is party to this Agreement solely for purposes of serving as the “Representative” hereunder and no claim will be brought by or on behalf of an MMT Party or any of its Affiliates against the Representative with respect to this Agreement or the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or any certificate, opinion, instrument or other documents delivered hereunder (with it being understood that any covenant or agreement of or by the “parties” or “each of the parties” at or prior to the Closing will not be deemed to require performance by, or be an agreement of, the Representative unless performance by the Representative is expressly provided for in such covenant or the Representative expressly so agrees).

(f)                 All out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal, accounting and other advisors’ fees and expenses, if applicable) reasonably incurred by the Representative in performing any actions under this Agreement or the Related Agreements will be paid out of the Representative Fund from time to time, as and when such fees and expenses are incurred. In the event that the amount of the Representative Fund is insufficient to satisfy all expense reimbursement and indemnification payments to which the Representative is entitled pursuant to this Section 9.13 upon written notice from the Representative to the Equityholders as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such expense reimbursement or indemnification amount, as the case may be, each Equityholder will promptly deliver to the Representative full payment of such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such deficiency. The Representative will establish such terms and procedures for administering, investing and disbursing any amounts from the Representative Fund as it may determine in its reasonable judgment to be necessary, advisable or desirable to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. If any balance of the Representative Fund remains undisbursed at such time as all disputes, claims and other matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other instruments and agreements to be delivered pursuant hereto have been finally resolved, then the Representative will distribute to each Equityholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by each Equityholder, such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of such remaining balance of the Representative Fund.

(g)                Any resignation by the Representative will not be effective until a new Representative will be appointed by Equityholders who held more than 50% of the aggregate equity securities of Sellers, immediately prior to the Closing.
