1.3           Consideration.

(a)           Aggregate Purchase Price for Acquired Interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer for the Acquired Interest shall be equal to (i) the Closing Cash Payment, plus (ii) the Equity Consideration, plus (iii) the Deferred Portion, plus (iv) the Earn-Out Payment, if any, plus (v) the Cash Revenue Share Payment, if any, plus (vi) the Equity Revenue Share Issuance (the “Initial Purchase Price”), it being agreed that the Company shall be delivered to Buyer on a cash-free basis, and a debt-free basis (excluding that certain Frost Debt that will be fully discharged by the Buyer), and that all outstanding Indebtedness and Company Expenses due and payable prior to the Closing shall be discharged or paid by the Company at or prior to the Closing.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the end of each calendar quarter beginning on the March 31, 2027 and ending on December 31, 2028 (each, a “Deferred Installment”) Buyer shall pay to Seller, to an account designated by Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $500,000 (each, a “Deferred Payment” and collectively, the “Deferred Portion”), with the aggregate amount of the Deferred Portion being equal to $4,000,000.

For purposes of this Agreement, any dividend made pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding that such distribution is effected simultaneously with the Closing.

1.6           Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)           As promptly as possible and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will deliver to the Seller, a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed final determination of (i) the calculation of the amount by which the Final Net Working Capital Amount (defined below) is greater than or less than the Net Working Capital Target (defined below), (ii) the calculation of the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (defined below), and (iii) the calculation of the amount of Company Expenses, and (iv) the calculation of the Total Adjustment Amount (defined below) and the resulting increase or decrease (if any) to the Initial Purchase Price. The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the determination of the Final Net Working Capital Amount and Company Expenses, reflected on the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Seller and their Representatives shall have reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Company, during working hours and upon reasonable notice, for purposes of assisting the Seller and their Representatives in their review of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet. For the avoidance of doubt, Company Expenses shall not be included in the calculation of Net Working Capital.

(b)           The following adjustments will be made to the Initial Purchase Price:

(i)             If the Total Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Initial Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Total Adjustment Amount (such decrease the “Initial Purchase Price Decrease”), and such decrease shall be payable by downward adjustment dollar for dollar of the Deferred Portion.

(ii)            If the Total Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased by the Total Adjustment Amount (such increase the “Initial Purchase Price Increase”), and such increase shall be payable by upward adjustment dollar for dollar of the Deferred Portion.

The Total Adjustment Amount shall be finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6 and shall be binding on the parties absent fraud or manifest error. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 1.6, no further adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made. No interest shall accrue on any Initial Purchase Price Increase or Initial Purchase Price Decrease. In no event shall a Seller Party be required to make any payment to Buyer to the extent the Initial Purchase Price Decrease exceeds the Deferred Portion.

(c)           Any dispute regarding the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 1.6(c). The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet (and the proposed final determinations of Net Working Capital and Company Expenses reflected thereon) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto unless a Seller Party provides a written notice (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to Buyer no later than the thirtieth (30th) Business Day (the “WC Dispute Notice Deadline”) after the date of delivery to the Seller of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet. The WC Dispute Notice Deadline will be tolled during any period that Seller and their Representatives do not have reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Company that are reasonably necessary for their review of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet. The Seller shall not be entitled to issue a Working Capital Dispute Notice or otherwise dispute any item set forth in the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet except on the grounds that such matter: (i) was not prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles; (ii) contains mathematical errors; or (iii) contains an error, miscalculation, inaccuracy, omission or oversight that, if corrected, would be consistent with the parameters, process and procedures set forth in paragraph (b) above, and which dispute is bona fide and objected to in good faith. Any Working Capital Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (x) any item on the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet which the Seller Parties believe have not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the correct amount of such item and (y) the Seller’s alternative calculation of the amount of Company Expenses or Net Working Capital, as the case may be, each as prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Working Capital Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on the WC Dispute Notice Deadline.

(d)           Working Capital Resolution of Disputes. Buyer and the Seller will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Working Capital Dispute Notice in good faith. Beginning ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any Working Capital Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 1.6(c), either Buyer or the Seller may provide written notice (“Accounting Firm Submittal Notice”) to the other that it elects to submit the disputed items to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm, mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Seller (the “Accounting Firm”). If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on the choice of the Accounting Firm within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery by Buyer or Seller to the other party of the Accounting Firm Submittal Notice, then the Accounting Firm will be selected jointly by a public accounting firm of recognized national standing designated by the Buyer and a public accounting firm of a recognized national standing designated by the Seller. The Accounting Firm will promptly review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Working Capital Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific unresolved item and amount in accordance with this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed in writing by Buyer and the Seller that the Accounting Firm must accept the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet except to the extent that it: (i) was not prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles; (ii) contains mathematical errors; or (iii) contains an error, miscalculation, inaccuracy, omission or oversight that, if corrected, would be consistent with the parameters, process and procedures set forth in paragraph (b) above, and which dispute is bona fide and objected to in good faith. In any such case, a single partner of the Accounting Firm selected by such Accounting Firm in accordance with its normal procedures and having expertise with respect to settlement of such disputes shall act for the Accounting Firm in the determination proceeding, and the Accounting Firm shall render a written decision as to each disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In no event shall the decision of the Accounting Firm (x) provide for a calculation of Net Working Capital that is greater than the calculation thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or greater than the Seller’s alternative calculation thereof shown in the Working Capital Dispute Notice. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Seller on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. The decision of the Accounting Firm with respect to the disputed items of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet, if there shall be no Working Capital Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to paragraph (c) above, or as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.6, is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet.” Each of Buyer and the Seller agree to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) Business Days) after the commencement of the Accounting Firm’s engagement.

(b)           It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that: (i) the Seller’s rights to receive the Earn-Out Payments, if any, are solely contractual in nature and do not constitute any form of equity, note or securities (and shall confer upon the Seller only the rights of a general unsecured creditor); (ii) no Earn-Out Payment nor any other rights or obligations under this Section 1.7 shall be assigned by Seller or any of its Affiliates without Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Seller may, without Buyer’s consent, assign such right (x) to one or more of Seller’s Affiliates, or (y) by operation of law in connection with Seller’s estate planning (including transfers to trusts or heirs); and (z) the right to receive the Earn-Out Payment, if any, (A) will not give the Seller any dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or similar rights, and (B) is not redeemable.

(d)           The Earn-Out Payment Calculation delivered by Buyer to Seller shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, unless the Seller, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Earn-Out Payment Calculation, notifies Buyer in writing that the Seller disputes in good faith the calculation set forth in therein, specifying the nature of each individual disputed line item calculation, the Seller’s proposed amount and the basis therefore in reasonable detail. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute and, if the Parties so resolve the dispute, the Earn-Out Payment Calculation shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Buyer and Seller do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within thirty (30) days after notice of a dispute is given by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.7, the Parties shall submit such dispute to the Accounting Firm selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.6(d). Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after acceptance of its appointment as Accounting Firm, the Accounting Firm shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Buyer and Seller and the terms of this Agreement, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Earn-Out Payment, which shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties absent fraud or manifest error. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.7 and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based on the percentage of the aggregate disputed amount that is resolved in favor of each party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

Buyer has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership, leasing, holding or use of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the Transactions.

3.2           Authority. Buyer has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party and to consummate the Transactions.

The execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party, and the consummation of the Transactions, do not and will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under (a) any provision of the Organizational Documents of Buyer, or (b) any Law applicable to Buyer or any of its properties (whether tangible or intangible) or assets, except, in the case of clause (b), for such conflicts, violations or defaults as would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the Transactions.

Article IV.
TAX MATTERS

4.1           Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid when due 50% by Seller and 50% by the Buyer. The Seller will timely file each necessary Tax Return and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, the Buyer will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Within fifteen (15) days after the Seller’s filing of a Tax Return for the Transfer Taxes, the Seller will provide the Buyer with copies of all such Tax Returns and evidence that all such Transfer Taxes have been paid.

4.2           Tax Returns.

(a)           Seller-Shareholder Prepared Returns. From and after the Closing Date, the Seller will prepare, or cause to be prepared, all income Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company for each Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that have not been filed as of the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Seller-Shareholder Prepared Income Tax Returns”). Except as otherwise may be approved by Buyer, all Pre-Closing Seller-Shareholder Prepared Income Tax Returns shall be prepared (i) in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) consistent with the past practices of the Company except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer will be given a reasonable opportunity, and in no event less than twenty (20) days, to review and provide reasonable comments to each Pre-Closing Seller-Shareholder Prepared Income Tax Return. Seller shall reasonably consider incorporating Buyer’s reasonable comments into such Pre-Closing Seller-Shareholder Prepared Income Tax Returns; provided, however, that the final determination with respect to such Tax Returns shall be made by Seller in his reasonable discretion. Buyer shall cause the Company to execute and timely file or cause to be filed any Pre-Closing Seller-Shareholder Prepared Income Tax Returns. The Seller will be responsible for paying all Taxes as shown due on such Pre-Closing Seller-Shareholder Prepared Tax Returns; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be responsible for any Taxes to the extent such Taxes were actually taken into account in determining the Total Adjustment Amount, the Purchase Price, or any adjustment thereto.

(b)           Buyer-Prepared Returns. Buyer will prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns of the Company, other than those described in Section 4.2(a) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each instance that are due after the Closing. Except as otherwise may be approved by the Seller, all such Tax Returns described in this Section 4.2(b) must be prepared, (i) in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) consistent with the past practices of the Company except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Law. Buyer will provide any such Tax Return to the Seller at least twenty (20) days before the due date for (and/or) filing of any such Tax Returns for Seller’s review and comment. Buyer shall consider in good faith and incorporate all reasonable comments of Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall prepare and file all Tax Returns required to be filed by Buyer for all periods; and all such Tax Returns shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2(b).

4.3           Tax Contests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Action that relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company (a “Tax Matter”) shall be addressed in and governed by this Section 4.3. The Person or Persons that control (as set forth below) a Tax Matter will have the right, subject to the provisions below in this Section 4.3, to control the defense, compromise, or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns, and contesting, defending against, and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter.

(a)           If written notice of any Tax Matter is given by any Governmental Entity (“Government Notice”) to Buyer, any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), or the Seller, then Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) or the Seller, as applicable, will notify the other in writing (the “Tax Matter Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Government Notice. No failure or delay in the provision of a Tax Matter Notice shall affect the obligations or liabilities of the parties as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(b)           To the extent the Tax Matter relates to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, then within fifteen (15) Business Days after either (i) the Seller’s receipt of a Tax Matter Notice from Buyer or Seller’s provision of a Tax Matter Notice to Buyer, the Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to control (at Seller’s own cost and expense) the defense, compromise, and other resolution of such Tax Matter. Buyer will cause the Company and its Affiliates to fully cooperate, in the defense and resolution of such Tax Matter by making relevant documents and employees available to the Seller, and to execute, or cause the execution of, such documents (including powers of attorney) as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Seller to conduct the defense and resolution thereof. If the Seller elects to conduct such a defense, then all decisions, e.g., with respect to the negotiation or litigation of the item or items, at issue in such Tax Matter described in this Section 4.3(b) will be made by the Seller and will be binding upon Buyer and the Company, provided that the Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably apprised of the status of the defense, allow Buyer the right to reasonably participate in such Tax Matter at Buyer’s own cost and expense and shall not agree to any settlement of the Tax Matter without Buyer’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(c)           To the extent the Tax Matter (x) relates to a Straddle Period, or (y) is initially governed by Section 4.2(b), but with respect to which the Seller does not elect to control the defense, compromise, and other resolution thereof, then Buyer has the right to control the defense, compromise, and other resolution of such Tax Matter; provided that (i) the Seller has the right (but not the duty) to participate in all aspects of the defense and resolution of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Buyer, (ii) Buyer will keep Seller reasonably apprised of the status and progress of the Tax Matter, (iii) Buyer will provide copies to Seller of all correspondence to and from the Governmental Entity respecting such Tax Matter, (iv) Buyer will reasonably, diligently, and actively pursue the defense or settlement of such Tax Matter, and (v) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) will not enter into any settlement of or otherwise resolve or compromise any such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed.

4.4           Straddle Period. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes for any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be (a) in the case of any sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes, withholding Taxes, and any Tax based upon or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a taxable period, based upon occupancy during a taxable period, or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), the amount of any such Taxes determined as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the Pre-Closing Tax Period; and (b) in the case of any other Taxes not described in clause (a) above and/or imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. For purposes of these determinations, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period in the same proportion as the number of calendar days during the Pre-Closing Tax Period bears to the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. The portion of Tax attributable to a portion of a Straddle Period commencing after the Closing will be calculated in a corresponding manner.

4.5           Cooperation. Buyer (on behalf of itself, the Company, and their Affiliates), the Company, and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and with respect to any Tax Matter. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Matter and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer agrees (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax Matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity, and (B) to give Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if the Seller so requests, Company and Buyer, as the case may be, shall allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records. Buyer, the Company, and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

4.6           Intended Tax Treatment. Buyer and Seller intend that the purchase, sale and contribution of the Acquired Interests be treated as a purchase and sale of assets for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes. Neither Buyer, the Seller, the Company nor any of their Affiliates, shall take any position inconsistent with such intended Tax treatment on any Tax Return or in any Tax-related proceeding, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

4.7           Conflicts. In the event of a conflict between this Article IV and Article VIII, the provisions of this Article IV will control.

(c)           Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.6 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller or its Affiliates of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance.

(d)           Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.6 are fair and reasonable as to the subject matter, geographical scope and duration and necessary to protect the value of the business of the Company and associated goodwill and the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.6 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.6 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.7           Release. As of the Closing, Seller hereby releases and forever discharges Buyer, the Company and their Affiliates (each a “Releasee”) from any and all claims, demands, Proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, Contracts, debts and liabilities, both at law and in equity, which the Seller now has against any Releasee arising prior to the Closing Date based solely on the ownership, management, and operation of the Company prior to the Closing Date, in each instance, solely in Seller’s capacity as an equity holder in the Company, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release (i) any claim arising out of or relating to Fraud, (ii) any obligations of the Releasees arising under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or under any other transaction document executed and delivered to the Seller, the Company or Buyer at the Closing in connection with the Transactions, (iii) the Seller rights under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or under any other transaction document executed and delivered to the Seller, the Company or Buyer at the Closing in connection with the Transactions, including the Seller rights to indemnification hereunder, (iv) the Seller’ rights to vested benefits, such as pension or retirement benefits, the rights to which are governed by the terms of the applicable plan documents and award agreements, and accrued and unpaid salary and other employment compensation, accrued and unpaid vacation and sick or (v) the obligations of the Company to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller under the Organizational Documents of the Company, any indemnification agreement set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, and applicable Law.

7.4           Procedures.

(a)           General. The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” Promptly after the discovery by an Indemnified Party of any Loss or Losses, claim or breach, including any claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) that:

(i)           states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it may or will incur liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii)            specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, that no delay on the part of any Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligations hereunder except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent.

(b)           Objection. If the Indemnifying Party objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties for a period of not less than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party has objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such sixty (60) day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification.

(c)           Third Party Claim Defense; Settlement. The Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received a Claim Certificate in respect of a Third Party Claim to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”); provided that such notice shall be required prior to any “Cutoff Date.”. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim but the Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not file any papers or 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 Indemnifying Party, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for material equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by applicable Law or applicable contractual restrictions, subject to entering into appropriate confidentiality agreements. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the Third Party Defense, such Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)           Defense; Settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the Third Party Defense on which the Indemnifying Party received a Claim Certificate, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense, upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e)           Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Indemnifying Party did not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Article VII and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution by arbitration or of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claim within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.

(f)           Transaction Consideration Adjustment. Buyer and the Seller agree to treat any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Law pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

7.5           Right of Setoff; Withholding; Indemnity Payments. Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to it, Buyer shall be entitled, at its sole direction, to: (i) offset any amounts otherwise payable under this Article VII for Agreed Claims by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII against any payments due by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Party under this Agreement, specifically including, but not limited to, any due under Section 1.7, Section 1.8, or Section 1.9 Buyer may withhold amounts otherwise payable to Seller solely in respect of (i) a Third Party Claim for which Buyer has delivered a Claim Notice in accordance with this Article VII or (ii) a claim for breach of Section 6.6 for which Buyer has delivered written notice describing such alleged breach in reasonable detail, in each case in an amount not to exceed Buyer’s good faith estimate of the indemnifiable Losses reasonably expected to be incurred; provided that (A) such withholding shall not exceed the maximum amount for which Seller could be liable under this Article VII and (B) Buyer shall promptly release to Seller any withheld amounts to the extent such Losses are not actually incurred or are no longer reasonably expected to be incurred. Buyer’s exercise of its right of setoff or withholding in accordance with this Section 7.5 shall not constitute a breach or event of default under this Agreement; provided that any setoff or withholding not permitted by this Section 7.5 shall be subject to all rights and remedies available to Seller under this Agreement.To the extent any Losses relating to an Agreed Claim are not satisfied through the exercise of any expressly applicable right of setoff or offset pursuant to this Agreement, the applicable Seller Indemnified Party shall pay such remaining amount to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within thirty (30) Business Days after such Losses become finally determined and payable in accordance with this Article VII.

7.6           No Limitation in the Event of Fraud. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Article VII or otherwise shall limit, in any manner, any remedy at law or equity to which any Indemnified Party may be entitled as a result of actual Fraud knowingly or willfully committed with the intent to deceive or mislead by any Indemnifying Party.
