 As of their respective dates, each report, information statement and proxy statement filed by Purchaser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 17, 2013, which are all the forms, reports and documents required to be filed by Purchaser and its subsidiaries with the SEC since January 17, 2013 (collectively, the “Purchaser SEC Reports”):  (A) was prepared in accordance and complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Purchaser SEC Reports, and (B) did not at the time it was filed (and if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement then on the date of such filing and as so amended or superseded) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.


(ii)

Each set of financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Purchaser SEC Reports, including each Purchaser SEC Report filed after the date hereof until the Closing, was or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, subject to the absence of footnotes as permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC) and each fairly presents or will fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Purchaser at the respective dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements, are or will be subject to normal adjustments which are not expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser.


(iii)

Purchaser has been and is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Purchaser has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act.  Purchaser’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by Purchaser in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to the management of Purchaser as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding



18




required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Purchaser has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluations, to Purchaser’s accountants and the board of directors of Purchaser (A) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) and any material weaknesses that have more than a remote chance to materially adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Purchaser’s internal control over financial reporting;


(p)

OTCQB Compliance.  Purchaser’s common stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.’s OTCQB quotation service (the “OTCQB”).  Purchaser has taken no action designed to terminate, or likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of its common stock under the Exchange Act or designed to remove, or likely to have the effect of removing, from quotation its common stock from the OTCQB, nor has Purchaser received any notification that the SEC, the OTCQB or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. is contemplating terminating such registration or quotation;


(q)  No Brokers’ Fees.  Purchaser has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)  any failure of Seller to perform or fulfill any covenant of Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and



28





(b)  any material breach of any representation or warranty given by Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement,


provided that Seller shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless any such indemnified party unless such indemnified party shall have provided written notice to Seller of such claim in accordance with Section 11.4(a), where applicable.


11.2

Indemnification in Favor of Seller

provided that SpinCo shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless any such indemnified party unless such indemnified party shall have provided written notice to SpinCo of any such claim in accordance with Section 11.4(a), where applicable.


11.3

Time/Liability Limitations


(a)

The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Closing and, notwithstanding the Closing and any investigation made by or on behalf of Purchaser, shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of Purchaser for a period of two years from the Closing.


(b)  

The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Closing and, notwithstanding the Closing and any investigation made by or on behalf of Seller, shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of Seller for a period of two years from the Closing, except that any representations and warranties of Purchaser relating to tax matters shall continue in full force and effect for the statutory limitations period.



29





(c)  

The amount of any Damages claimed by Purchaser shall be limited in aggregate to the actual Damages (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive Damages) suffered by Purchaser taking into account the amount of any recovery by Purchaser under any insurance policy and, in addition, Seller shall not have any liability in aggregate (for indemnification or otherwise) under Section 11.1 or for breach of any representation and warranty contained in Article IV or otherwise under this Agreement in excess of $12,000,000.


(d)

If any breach of the representations and warranties arises by reason of a liability of Purchaser which is contingent when the claim in respect thereof is notified to Seller, then Seller will not be obliged to make any payment to Purchaser until such time as the contingent liability ceases to be contingent and becomes an actual liability.


(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.3, any claim made in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty under Section 4.1 or Section 5.1 which is based on fraud, willful misconduct, fraudulent misrepresentation or intentional misrepresentation may be made for an indefinite period after the Closing.


11.4

Indemnification Proceedings - Third Party Claims


(a)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party (an “Indemnified Party”) under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 of a notice of commencement of any proceeding against it by a third party, the Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section (an “Indemnifying Party”), give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such claim. The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice.


(b)  If any proceeding referred to in Section 11.4(a) (a “Proceeding”) is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of the Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding as hereinafter provided. To the extent that the Indemnifying Party wishes to assume the conduct of the Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, it may do so provided it (i) reimburses the Indemnified Party for all of its out-of-pocket expenses (including solicitor’s fees and disbursements) arising prior to or in connection with such assumption; and (ii) permits the Indemnified Party to



30




participate in such defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless there are separate defenses available to the Indemnified Party or conflicts of interest in which case those fees and expenses will be paid by the Indemnifying Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of the Proceeding as against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 11.4 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of the Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of the Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation approved in advance by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding as against the Indemnified Party: (i) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be made by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent, unless: (A) there is no admission of any violation of Laws or any violation of the rights of any Person and no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party; and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any the Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party does not, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of the Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in the Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party acting in good faith.


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a conflict of interest with the Indemnifying Party or a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle the Proceeding. In such case, the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).


(d)  Where the defense of a Proceeding is being undertaken and controlled by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will use its reasonable commercial efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in evaluating and defending any such claims. However,



31




the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the expense associated with any employees made available by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.4(d), which expense shall be equal to the out of pocket expenses of such employees and an amount to be mutually agreed upon per person per hour or per day for each day or portion thereof that the employees are assisting the Indemnifying Party and which expenses shall not exceed the actual cost to the Indemnified Party associated with the employees.


(e)  With respect to any Proceeding at the request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession of the Indemnified Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party for its use in defending any such claim and shall otherwise cooperate on a timely basis with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim.


(f) With respect to any Proceeding in respect of income, corporate, sales, excise, or other tax liability enforceable by Lien against the property of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party’s right to so defend the Proceeding shall only apply after payment of any such re-assessment, if so required by law.


11.5

Rights Supplemental


The rights and remedies in this Article XI are to the fullest extent possible in law cumulative and not alternative and are without prejudice to any other rights, actions or causes of action which may arise pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or pursuant to applicable law and the election by any Person to exercise any such right or remedy shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any other rights and remedies.


11.6

Third Parties

The Parties hereby acknowledge that the Parties are acting as agents for their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article XI.
