(e) None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any ERISA Affiliate, has made any payment, is obligated to make any payment, or is a party to any agreement or agreements that, individually or collectively, provide for the payment by any of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate to any employee, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any amount that may be an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or non-deductible under Section 280G of the Code.

For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” means the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and all other applicable Laws issued by a United States or federal Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Company shall prepare and file any required notifications pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions within ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party or the Company from, or given by such party or the Company to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information and except with respect to competitively sensitive information, each of the parties hereto shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information relating to the other parties and their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Third Party and/or any Governmental Authority by the other party or the Company in connection with the Transactions. Each party shall have the right to attend conferences and meetings between the other party or the Company and regulators concerning the Transactions, except to the extent any applicable regulator expressly requests otherwise.

Without limiting any other provision hereof, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment that would restrain, prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions, on or before the Walk-Away Date, including by defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court by any Person, and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions so as to enable the consummation of the Transactions to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Walk-Away Date).

Section 5.4 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Shareholders. Thereafter, neither the Shareholders nor the Purchaser nor the Company shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law or by any applicable listing agreement with a national securities exchange or national market system as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case neither such party nor, as the case may be, the Company shall issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after consultation with and review by the Shareholders, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the right to disclose summary information about this Agreement and the Transactions as part of normal fundraising, marketing, informational and reporting activities and in connection with the financing of the Transactions; provided that each Shareholder shall respond promptly and in any event in within two Business Days to any request for such consultation and review and in the event any such Shareholder fails to so respond, such Shareholder shall have no right to assert a breach by the Purchaser of this last sentence of this Section 5.4.

Section 5.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the properties, books, Contracts and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and furnish promptly to the Purchaser such information concerning their respective businesses and properties as the Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would violate applicable Law or a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third-party or jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert, if the Company reasonably believes that undermining such privilege would adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s position in any pending, or what the Company believes in good faith is likely to be future, litigation; provided, however, that in each case (i) the parties hereto shall cooperate to find a way to allow disclosure of such information to the extent doing so would not (in the good faith view of the Company) reasonably be likely to (A) result in a violation of the applicable Law, Contract or obligation of confidentiality or (B) undermine the applicable privilege and (ii) if any information is not disclosed due to the preceding proviso, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing (to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Law, Contract or obligation, and except as would undermine the applicable privilege) of the subject matter of any such information and the facts giving rise to such failure to disclose such information. Except with respect to the Required Financial Information and other information that may be necessary to disclose in connection with the Financing, until the Closing, the information provided will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 5.6 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their successors) to establish and maintain for a period of not less than six years from and after the Closing Date provisions in their certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ former and current officers, directors, employees, and agents that are no less favorable to those persons than the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect as of the date hereof, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any respect that would adversely affect the rights hereunder of such individuals, except as required by applicable law. The Purchaser shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the Company to honor, in accordance with their respective terms each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.6(a).

(b) From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Closing Date is, or at any time prior to the Closing Date was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, to the extent based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date (including in connection with the Transactions), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In addition, from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to, pay any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 5.6 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 5.6) as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable Law.

(c) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date with respect to those persons who are currently (and any additional persons who prior to the Closing Date become, consistent with past practice) covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage, and in amount, not less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof (or the Purchaser may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date); provided, however, that if the aggregate annual premiums for such insurance shall exceed 300% of the current annual premium (which annual amount the Shareholders represent and warrant is set forth in Section 5.6(c) of the Disclosure Schedule), then the Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided a policy for the applicable individuals with the best coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium of 300% of such current aggregate annual premium; provided further, however, that at no time shall such coverage be less than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage then provided by the Purchaser to its directors and officers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, with the Purchaser’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld prior to the Closing Date), may (and, to the extent available, at the request of the Purchaser, in the event the coverage provided is no less favorable than the coverage that would have been provided pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall, prior to the Closing Date) purchase a six-year extended reporting period endorsement, on the terms with respect to coverage and amount as described above, under its existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, if the coverage thereunder costs, in the aggregate, no more than 300% of the current annual premium. If the insurance is purchased in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Purchaser will not have any obligation under the first sentence of this Section 5.6(c).

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.6 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 5.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.6 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.6 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6).

(e) In the event that the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser and the Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.6.

Section 5.7 Fees and Expenses.

ARTICLE IX.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Indemnification Obligations of the Shareholders. From and after the Closing, each Shareholder shall, ***************************************************

****************************************************************** indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (the “Indemnified Parties”) from, against, and in respect any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, fines and judgments wherever arising or incurred, whether or not arising from a third party claim, (including amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of **********

***************************************************************************

************************************************************************************************. The claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines and judgments of the Indemnified Parties described in this Section 9.1 as to which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Purchaser Losses”.

Section 9.2 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Entity) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from the applicable Shareholder or Shareholders (the “Indemnifying Party”) for any Purchaser Losses, such Indemnified Party shall provide written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter to assume the defense of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. Until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party may defend against such audit, investigation, action or proceeding in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate. If the Indemnifying Party does not, within such twenty (20) day period, assume the defense of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any judicial determination made with respect to such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, subject to the provisions of Section 9.2(b) below. In any audit, investigation, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought hereunder the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its or their own counsel at such party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its or their officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such claim. No Indemnifying Party may, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, from all liability arising out of such claim, (y) does not contain any admission of wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (z) involves only the payment of cash.

(c) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant hereto for a claim other than a claim asserted by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Claim”). Such Notice of Claim shall specify the basis for such claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article or the amount thereof, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined. In the event the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder.

Section 9.4 Liability Limits. ********************************************

****************************************************************************

****************************************************************************.

The aggregate liability of the Shareholders for Purchaser Losses with respect to any claims made pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be limited to the Purchase Price, and the aggregate liability of each Shareholder shall be limited to such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price. As used herein, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, with respect to each Shareholder, the percentage set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit 1.2.

Section 9.5 Calculation of Damages. The amount of Purchaser Losses payable by a Shareholder under this Article IX shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other reimbursement arrangements, by way of indemnification or otherwise, recovered by the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim for which indemnification is sought (net of the reasonable costs of recovery).

Section 9.6 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, other than claims for fraud, the indemnities provided in this Article XI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.

Section 9.7 Adjustments to the Purchase Price. All amounts paid with respect to indemnification under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties to this Agreement for all income Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification by the Shareholders under this Article IX for any losses, to the extent, but only to the extent, the Purchaser has otherwise been compensated by reason of a reduction in the Purchase Price pursuant Section 1.2.

The parties acknowledge and agree that: any disclosure made with reference to a section of the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed sufficient for purposes of disclosure in any other section or sections of the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule that may require disclosure therein only to the extent that the relevance of any such disclosure to such other section of the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent from the text of such disclosure; the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule and Company Disclosure Schedule is intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties and covenants of the Shareholders and the Company, respectively, contained in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any such representations, warranties or covenants; the disclosures in the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule and the Company Disclosure Schedule may be over-inclusive, considering the materiality standard contained in the section of this Agreement relating to the corresponding section of the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule, and any items or matters disclosed in the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule are not intended to set or establish standards of materiality different from those set forth in the corresponding section of this Agreement; and the disclosure of any item or information in the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule is not an admission that such item or information (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) is material, required to have been disclosed in the Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule, or is of a nature that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.
