(ii) Procedure.
 
(A) As soon as reasonably practical following the Closing Date but in no event more than 30 days thereafter, Buyer or Acquisition Sub, at their expense, shall cause their independent accounting firm to prepare an audited consolidated balance sheet of Seller and Subsidiary as of the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP, together with a statement of the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”). Seller’s accountants may accompany Buyers’ accountants and examine all of Buyers’ accountants’ work papers related thereto. Buyers shall deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet to Seller within 45 days of the Closing Date. In the event that Seller disputes the Closing Date Balance Sheet in any respect, Seller shall so notify Buyers within 10 business days of receipt (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the disputed items). If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within 10 business days thereafter, it shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(iii) hereof.
 
(B) In anticipation of the Closing and as soon as reasonably practical following December 31, 2006, Buyer or Acquisition Sub, at their expense, may cause their independent accounting firm to prepare an audited consolidated balance sheet of Seller and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 prepared in accordance with GAAP, together with a statement of Working Capital as of that date (the “December Working Capital”). If such audit is conducted and the results of such audit show that the December Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital by more than $25,000, then at Closing, the Cash Payment shall be decreased by, and the Escrow Funds shall be increased by, the amount that the December Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital (“Working Capital Holdback Amount”) and the Working Capital Holdback Amount shall be disbursed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

In connection with its review, the Independent Accountant shall (i) have the right to undertake such procedures as it may deem reasonably appropriate and examine all work papers utilized in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, and (ii) only make a determination as to the Disputed Items. The decision of the Independent Accountant as to the Closing Date Working Capital amount shall be final and binding upon the parties, without any right of further appeal. The expense of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyers, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in proportion to the relative differences between (x) the final position of the parties prior to submission of the matter to the Independent Accountant and (y) the determination of the Independent Accountant.
 
(iv) Books and Records. Seller shall make its books and records and the books and records of Subsidiary available to Buyers, Buyers’ accountants or the Independent Accountants, as the case may be, during Seller’s and Subsidiary’s normal business hours, at Seller’s and Subsidiary’s facilities, upon reasonable advance notice, in order that the provisions of this Section 2.3 may carried out.

If prior consent from third parties is necessary to transfer any rights of Seller or Subsidiary in any intellectual property licenses or any Intellectual Property Rights, Seller will obtain such consents so that the intellectual property licenses and the Intellectual Property Rights will be available for use or owned, as applicable, by Buyers from and after the Closing on identical terms and conditions as are applicable to Seller and Subsidiary prior to the Closing without the imposition of any additional condition or obligation on Buyers, the Business or the Assets. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will not give rise to any Encumbrance on Buyers’ rights, title and interest in and to, or the valid and enforceable license to use, as the case may be, the Intellectual Property Rights transferred at the Closing, except Permitted Encumbrances.

Acquisition Sub shall inform Seller promptly in writing of the identities of those Active Employees to whom it will not make employment offers.
 
(iii) It is understood and agreed that (A) Acquisition Sub’s expressed intention to extend offers of employment as set forth in this Section shall not constitute any commitment, Contract or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of Acquisition Sub to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Acquisition Sub may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment, and (B) employment offered by Acquisition Sub is “at will” and may be terminated by Acquisition Sub or by an employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Acquisition Sub or an employee and Legal Requirements).

Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall apply for and shall obtain a favorable determination letter from the IRS that the termination of its 401(k) Plan does not adversely affect the Plan’s tax qualification. Upon receipt of said determination letter, Seller shall cause the accounts of Hired Active Employees under its 401(k) Plan to be distributed to them in a cash lump sum with a choice of such other optional forms of payment as the 401(k) Plan provides. Hired Active Employees shall be entitled to participate in Acquisition Sub’s “employee benefit plans” as defined by Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to the timing and other eligibility requirements of Acquisition Sub’s existing company policies. However, Acquisition Sub will credit Hired Active Employees with service with Seller for purposes of eligibility and vesting, but not for purposes of benefit accrual, under its employee benefit plans.

This Section 10.4 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 10.4 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyers’ legitimate business interests and the value of the Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.

The parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.
 
10.7 Environmental Matters - Regulatory Transfer Approvals. (a) To the extent that the Contemplated Transactions require regulatory transfer approvals of any Governmental Authorization under an environmental or other Legal Requirements either prior to or after the Closing, then any filing or other actions necessary to comply with such Legal Requirements shall be done at the cost and expense of Seller and Seller shall provide Buyers evidence of such compliance. All costs associated with preparing for and taking such actions for compliance shall be paid for by Seller prior to the Closing or, if payment prior to Closing is not possible, shall be accrued for as a liability on the Closing Date Balance Sheet. Subject to Section 9.1(h), Seller shall pay and be responsible for remediating prior to Closing any pre-existing conditions noted in the Environmental Reports, but in the case of the Pennsylvania Facility only to the extent required by an applicable Legal Requirement. Subject to Sections 9.1(h) and 9.2 and the limitations set forth in Article XI, Buyers shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article XI for the costs of any remediation not undertaken by Seller under this Section.
 
(b) Seller shall retain any and all Liability as a “Potentially Responsible Party” (“PRP”) for the North Penn Area 6 Superfund Site and the North Penn Area 7 Superfund Site arising from or relating to its ownership and operation of the Pennsylvania Facility on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller agrees to comply with any and all of its obligations to the applicable Governmental Bodies arising from its status as a PRP for such sites pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements or any settlement agreement, consent agreement or consent decree entered into with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PADEP”). Seller shall remain liable for any and all amounts due to the EPA or PADEP or any other PRP for cost recovery, contribution, oversight, costs or interest arising from its status as a PRP at either the North Penn Area 6 Superfund Site or the North Penn Area 7 Superfund Site arising from its status as a PRP for such sites pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements or any settlement agreement, consent agreement or consent decree entered into with the EPA or PADEP.
 
10.8 Use of Excluded Equipment. During the Term (as such term is defined in the Lease) of the Lease, Buyers shall not have any access to or right to the use of any of the Excluded Equipment unless Seller agrees otherwise in writing, except that Buyers shall have the right to use such items of the Excluded Equipment as were necessary to the operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date (including, but not limited to, the office furniture, office equipment and telephone systems); provided, however, that Seller reserves the right to sell any Excluded Equipment during the Term.
 
35

 
10.9 Seller Access to Records. Between the Closing Date and December 31, 2008, Buyers will: (a) provide Seller, Anton and their authorized representatives with Records of the Business reasonably requested by Seller or Anton in order for Seller and Anton to complete their respective tax returns; (b) maintain a copy of the version of Seller’s computer programs in effect as of the Closing Date; (c) maintain an electronic backup copy of the contents of Seller’s database and computer files for disaster recovery purposes in the same manner and extent as retained prior to the Closing; and (d) use reasonable efforts to restore Seller’s database and computer files as, if and when required.
 
10.10 Verification of Transferred Assets.
 
(a) Location of Assets. Seller has identified certain Tangible Personal Property being transferred to Acquisition Sub hereunder (as listed on Part 3.10(b)), and has identified certain Excluded Equipment (as listed on Part 2.2(d)), by reference to its physical location at the Pennsylvania Facility as identified on the Pennsylvania Facility map attached to Part 2.2(d). Seller represents and warrants that such Tangible Personal Property and Excluded Equipment have not been moved from the location so identified by Seller in the applicable Parts to the Disclosure Letter since March 1, 2007, and Seller covenants that such Tangible Personal Property and Excluded Equipment will not be moved prior to the Closing Date.
 
(b) Verification of Transferred Assets. Prior to the Closing Date, on a date and time mutually convenient for Seller and Buyers, a representative of Seller and a Representative of Buyers shall conduct a “walk through” of the Pennsylvania Facility, for the purpose of reviewing all of the Tangible Personal Property located at the Pennsylvania Facility being transferred to Acquisition Sub hereunder and all of the Excluded Equipment. The parties shall mutually agree on and verify the accuracy of those items. Acquisition Sub, in its discretion, may exclude certain Tangible Personal Property that had been included as an Asset to be transferred hereunder. Acquisition Sub and Seller shall tag (in a manner agreed to by the parties) all Tangible Personal Property located at the Pennsylvania Facility being transferred hereunder so as to avoid any confusion when Acquisition Sub exits the Pennsylvania Facility upon termination of the Lease.
 
10.11 Current Evidence of Title.  (a) As soon as is reasonably possible, and in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall furnish to Seller, at Buyer's expense, for that tract of land constituting the Mexican Facility a commitment for title insurance (“Title Commitment”) from a reputable title insurance company chosen by Buyer. The Title Commitment shall include such title insurer’s requirements for issuing its title policy which requirements must be met by Seller on or before the Closing Date (including those requirements that must be met by releasing or satisfying monetary Encumbrances), but excluding those requirements that are to be met solely by Buyer.
 
(b) If any of the following shall occur (collectively, a “Title Objection”): (i) the Title Commitment or other evidence of title or search of the appropriate real estate records discloses that any party other than Subsidiary has title to the insured estate covered by the Title Commitment; or (ii) any title exception is disclosed in the Title Commitment that is not one of the Permitted Real Estate Encumbrances, then Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cure each Title Objection and (b) take all steps reasonably required by the Title Insurer or surveyor, as the case may be, to eliminate each Title Objection as an exception to the Title Commitment or survey, as applicable; provided that, if such Title Objection can be cured solely by the payment of money, Seller shall pay such sum and cure such Title Objection. Any Title Objection that such title company is willing to insure over on terms acceptable to Buyer will be deemed a Title Objection acceptable to Buyer and need not be cured by Seller.
 
36

 
10.12 Release. Effective upon the Closing, Seller and Anton hereby forever release and discharge Subsidiary from any and all liabilities, losses, claims, demands, obligations, rights, actions, causes of action, proceedings or suits of any kind or nature, debts, sums of money including but not limited to the Subsidiary Loan Payable, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, executions and demands whatsoever, in law or equity which Anton and Seller or any of their affiliates, successors, predecessors and assigns ever had, now have or will ever have in the future, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, whether presently known or unknown, against Subsidiary.
 
10.13 Certain Tax Matters.
 
(a) Prior to Closing - Tax Procedures for Sale of Subsidiary Stock. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Anton shall take all steps reasonably necessary to calculate the tax liability, if any, based upon the amount realized from the sale of the Subsidiary Stock in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements including the procedures set forth in the Mexican Fiscal Tax Code. Seller and Anton shall prepare and file all required documentation with the applicable Governmental Body, and if appliable, pay or cause to be paid, any Tax Liability when due. Seller shall permit Buyers to review and comment on each of the filings described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. Buyers and Subsidiary shall cooperate with Seller and Anton, as reasonably requested, both before and after Closing, and representatives of Subsidiary shall execute and file such documents as may be necessary in connection with the foregoing.
 
(b) After Closing. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain tax matters relating to Subsidiary following the Closing Date:
 
(i)  Subsidiary Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed each Tax Return for Subsidiary for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Taxes of Subsidiary with respect to such periods within fifteen (15) days after payment by Buyer or Subsidiary of such Taxes to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Balance Sheet.
 
(ii)  Subsidiary Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed each Tax Return of Subsidiary for any period which begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date. Seller shall pay to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) shown on the face of the Balance Sheet. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of Subsidiary.
 
37

 
(iii)  Cooperation on Tax Matters. (1) Buyer, Subsidiary and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 10.13 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer, Subsidiary and Seller agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Buyer, Subsidiary or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.
 
(2) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
 
(iv) Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving Subsidiary shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Subsidiary shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.
 
10.14 Subsidiary Loan Payable. Seller’s Balance Sheet states that Subsidiary is indebted to Seller in the amount of $2,424,457.00 (the “Subsidiary Loan Payable”). Prior to the Closing Date, Subsidiary and Seller shall cause the Subsidiary Loan Payable to be satisfied in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyers, but in any event so as to avoid any tax liabilities for the satisfaction of such debt. Seller and Subsidiary shall provide evidence of satisfaction to Buyers prior to the Closing Date.
 
38

 
10.15. Qualification to do Business in Pennsylvania. Promptly following the Closing Date and upon receipt from Seller of the consent letter referenced in Section 10.2 hereof, Acquisition Sub will take appropriate steps to qualify as a foreign limited liability company authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
 
ARTICLE XI

11.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, the supplements to the Disclosure Letter, the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.7 and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date; provided, however, (i) the representations and warranties of Seller, Subsidiary and Anton set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.9 and 3.14 and the obligations of Seller, Subsidiary and Anton set forth in Section 10.13(a), 10.14 shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) the representations and warranties of Seller, Subsidiary and Anton set forth in Section 3.22 and the obligations of Seller, Subsidiary and Anton set forth in Sections 10.7 and 11.3 shall survive the lesser of (x) six (6) years following the Closing Date, or (y) until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations. 
 
11.2 Indemnification And Reimbursement By Seller And Anton. Seller and Anton, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless Buyers, and their Representatives, shareholders, subsidiaries and Related Persons (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), and will reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising from or in connection with:
 
(a) any material Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller, Subsidiary or Anton in (i) this Agreement (without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Letter), (ii) the Disclosure Letter, (iii) the supplements to the Disclosure Letter, (iv) the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.7 (for this purpose, each such certificate will be deemed to have stated that Seller’s, Subsidiary’s and Anton’s representations and warranties in this Agreement fulfill the requirements of Section 7.1 as of the Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date without giving effect to any supplement to the Disclosure Letter, unless the certificate expressly states that the matters disclosed in a supplement have caused a condition specified in Section 7.1 not to be satisfied), (v) any transfer instrument, or (vi) any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Seller, Subsidiary or Anton pursuant to this Agreement;
 
39

 
(b) any material Breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller, Subsidiary or Anton in this Agreement or in any other certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered by Seller, Subsidiary or Anton pursuant to this Agreement;

(e) any product or component thereof manufactured or shipped by, or any services provided by, Seller, in whole or in part, prior to the Closing Date;

(h) any Tax Liability of Subsidiary, or of Seller or Anton arising out of the satisfaction of the Subsidiary Loan Payable, their ownership of the Subsidiary Stock prior to the Closing Date or sale of the Subsidiary Stock or as a result of the Contemplated Transactions.
 
(i) any Employee Plan established or maintained by Seller; or
 
(j) any Retained Liabilities (including but not limited to Tax Liabilities of Seller relating to transfer pricing matters or otherwise).
 
11.3 Indemnification And Reimbursement By Seller - Environmental Matters. In addition to the other indemnification provisions in this Article 11, Seller and Anton, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless Buyers and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons, and will reimburse Buyers and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons, for any Damages (including costs of cleanup, containment or other remediation) arising from or in connection with:
 
(a) any Liability with respect to Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements arising out of or relating to: (i) the ownership or operation by any Person at any time on or prior to the Closing Date of any of the Facilities, Assets or the Business of Seller, or (ii) any Hazardous Materials or other contaminants that were present on the Facilities or Assets at any time on or prior to the Closing Date; or

Buyers will be entitled to control any Remedial Action, any Proceeding relating to an environmental claim and, except as provided in the following sentence, any other Proceeding with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Section 11.3.

11.5 Third-Party Claims.
 
(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 11.2, Section 11.3 (to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 11.3) or Section 11.4 (each, an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (each, an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give or delay in giving such notice.
 
(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 11.5(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent, which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Indemnified Person’s notice, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.
 
42

 
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
 
(d) Seller and Anton hereby consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller and Anton with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
 
(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 11: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.
 
(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 11, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its best reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.
 
11.6 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid promptly after such notice. 
 
11.7 Seller’s Payment of Claims/Escrow. Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Buyers may give notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement for any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article XI. Seller’s liability for such claims is not limited to the Escrow Funds under the Escrow Agreement. The indemnification provisions in this Article XI are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law remedy that Buyers, Seller or any Indemnified Person may have with respect to the Contemplated Transactions.
 
43

 
11.8 Limitations of Seller’s and Anton’s Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or elsewhere, in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Seller and Anton under this Article XI exceed either (i) the Purchase Price for claims for Damages relating to (x) the breach of the representations and warranties by Seller, Subsidiary or Anton set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.9(b), 3.14, 3.16, 3.22, 3.25 and any obligations under Section 11.3 or (y) the breach of any representation or warranty by Seller, Subsidiary or Anton that was actually known to be false when made or for fraud, or (ii) $1,000,000 for claims relating to all other claims (the “Maximum Limitation”); provided, however, Seller and Anton shall not have any liability under this Article XI unless and until the Damages exceed $25,000 (the “Basket”) in the aggregate, in which event Seller and Anton shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyers for all Damages commencing with the first dollar of Damages.
 
11.9 Limitation of Buyers’ Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or elsewhere, in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of Buyers under this Article XI exceed $1,000,000 (the “Maximum Limitation”); provided, however, Buyers shall not have any liability under this Article XI unless and until the Damages exceeds $25,000 in the aggregate, in which event Buyers shall be jointly and severally liable to Seller for all Damages commencing with the first dollar of Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XI to the contrary, the Maximum Limitation and the Basket as they may apply to Buyers shall not apply to claims for Damages relating to the breach of any representation or warranty by Buyers that was actually known to be false when made or for fraud.
 
11.10 Insurance Proceeds. No party shall be entitled to indemnity with respect to any Damages to the extent that such Damages are covered by insurance.

If such two arbitrators fail or are unable to select a third arbitrator within such time period, then the third arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Subject to this Section 12.4, the arbitrators shall have the right and authority to determine how their decision or award as to each issue and matter in dispute may be implemented or enforced. The arbitrators shall be required to produce a written opinion setting forth the reasons for the decision or award made. The decision of a majority of such arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. There shall be no appeal therefrom other than for bias, fraud or misconduct. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
 
(c) Mediation.

(d) Remedies. The parties hereto covenant and agree that the remedies and procedures set forth in this Section shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available in the event of a Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Party, as part of a Dispute, seeks injunctive relief or any other remedy requiring specific enforcement, then, solely with respect to such equitable relief, such party shall be permitted to seek relief in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(e) Fees and Expenses. In any action or proceeding with respect to any Dispute, arbitrator(s) or court(s) (in the case of a request for equitable relief) shall award the prevailing party such prevailing party’s reasonable fees and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, associated with such Dispute, if any, only if the arbitrator(s) or court(s) (in the case of equitable relief), concludes that the nonprevailing party in such Dispute lacked a reasonable basis for opposing the position advanced by the prevailing party.
 
12.5 Enforcement Of Agreement. Seller and Shareholders acknowledge and agree that Buyers would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any material Breach of this Agreement by Seller or Shareholders could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyers may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, in any material respect, without posting any bond or other undertaking.
