The Parties acknowledge and agree that, if any dispute is submitted to the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 2.06(b), the Final Closing Working Capital Amount, the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Final Closing Target Adjustment Amount, the Final Closing Indebtedness Adjustment Amount, the Final Closing Non-Reimbursable Transaction Expenses Adjustment Amount and/or the Final Adjustment Amount, as determined by the Accounting Referee, shall, absent manifest error, constitute the “Final Closing Working Capital Amount”, the “Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount”, the “Final Closing Target Adjustment Amount”, the “Final Closing Indebtedness Adjustment Amount”, the “Final Closing Non-Reimbursable Transaction Expenses Adjustment Amount” and/or the “Final Adjustment Amount”, respectively, and be final, binding, and conclusive on the Parties for purposes of this Agreement.

(iii)If requested by the Accounting Referee, Parent and the Member Representatives agree to execute a reasonable engagement letter. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such disputed items by the Accounting Referee, and the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee incurred pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(iii) shall be borne by Parent, on one hand, and the Member Representatives (on behalf of the Members according to their Pro Rata Percentages), on the other, as determined by the Accounting Referee based on the inverse of the percentage that the Accounting Referee’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the disputed items. For purposes of illustration only, if the disputed items are $100 and if the final written determination of the Accounting Referee states that $80 of the disputed items are resolved in Parent’s favor and $20 of the disputed items are resolved in the Members’ favor, Parent would bear 20% of the Accounting Referee’s fees and expenses, on one hand, and the Members would bear 80% of such fees and expenses, on the other. However, initially, any retainer charged by the Accounting Referee shall be paid 50% by Parent and 50% from the Member Representatives Expense Amount.

(d)Cooperation. The Member Representatives and Parent will reasonably cooperate and assist as and if requested by Parent or the Member Representatives, as applicable, in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount and in the conduct of the audits and reviews referred to in this Section 2.06, including Parent making available to the Member Representatives and their accountants and advisors, the books, records, work papers and personnel of Parent and its accountants (other than privileged documents and other documents restricted by Applicable Law, and subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) to the extent the Member Representatives deem necessary for the purposes of reviewing the Closing Balance Sheet and Parent Proposed Calculation and/or to prepare an Objection Notice.

(e)Accounting Changes. Following the Closing, Parent shall not take, or permit the Surviving Company to take, any action with respect to the accounting books and records of the Surviving Company, or the items reflected thereon, on which the Closing Balance Sheet is to be based, that is inconsistent with the Company’s past practices to the extent such actions would materially impede or affect the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with Schedule 2.05(b), and any such actions in violation of this Section 2.06(e) shall not be given effect for purposes of determining the Closing Working Capital Amount.

(f)The Company shall have delivered each of the Closing deliverables set forth in Section 3.02(a).

(b)Parent and Merger Sub shall have duly performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements, covenants and conditions required by this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Documents to be performed or complied with by them prior to or on the Closing Date.

Section 9.03Indemnification By Parent and Merger Sub. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, Parent and Merger Sub, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend each of the Members and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Member Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Member Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

Section 9.04Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)The Members shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.02(a) exceeds $290,000 (the “Basket”), at which point the Members shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Members shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall not exceed 8% of the Merger Consideration (the “Cap”).

(b)Parent and Merger Sub shall not be liable to the Member Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event Parent and Merger Sub shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Parent and Merger Sub shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.03(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 9.04(a) and Section 9.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation, or (ii) any claim for or based on any intentional or willful misrepresentations or fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Company, the Members, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives.

(d)For purposes of this Article IX, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty and will not have any effect with respect to the calculation of the amount of any Losses attributable to such inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Members (or any one of them) become liable to indemnify Parent for any Losses that result from a Member’s breach of such Member’s representations in Section 4.02(a) or 4.03, or from the intentional or willful misrepresentations or fraud or willful misconduct of a Member, then only such Member shall have liability to Parent for such Losses.

Section 9.05Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. For purposes of this Article IX, (a) if Parent (or any other Parent Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Members, and (b) if Parent comprises the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to the Members and any other Member Indemnitee.

47

(a)Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Member, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim (i) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, (ii) if the Indemnified Parties reasonably determine that there is a material conflict of interest between such Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines independent counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Member Representatives and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

48

(c)Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such reasonably prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 15 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 15-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any Action in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 4.10 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII) shall be governed exclusively by Article VII hereof.

Section 9.06Payments; Indemnification Escrow Fund.

(a)Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such ten Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 6%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b)Any Losses payable to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Article IX shall be satisfied: (i) from the Indemnification Escrow Fund; and (ii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amounts available to the Parent Indemnitee in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, and subject to Section 9.04(e), from James Gulbrandsen and Donald Douglas Burkhalter jointly and severally, and from the other Members, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages).

(c)Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall (i) on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, pay 50% of any amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, minus the amount of any pending indemnification claim made by the Parent Indemnitees, to the Members as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, with such amount being paid from cash first and (ii) on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date, pay any amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, minus the amount of any pending indemnification claim made by the Parent Indemnitees, to the Members as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

Section 9.07Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

49

Section 9.08Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived or otherwise modified by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be.

Section 9.09Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 11.12, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein it may have against the other Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Applicable Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct. For avoidance of doubt, if the Manitou Code Amendment passes in the Special Election and a new medical marijuana center and retail marijuana store located in Manitou Opens to the Public by the Outside Date, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Parent’s sole and exclusive remedy and the Members’ sole and exclusive liability on account of the occurrence of such events shall be the disbursal to Parent of the Special Election Escrow Fund as provided under Section 2.11(a).

Article X
Termination

Section 10.01Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b)by Parent by written notice to the Company if:

(i)neither Parent nor Merger Sub is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty (including in connection with or as a result of a Schedule Supplement pursuant to Section 6.11, covenant or agreement made by the Company or the Members pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by the Company within 10 days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Parent;

(ii)any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by May 14, 2022, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Parent to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(c)by the Company by written notice to Parent if:

(i)the Company is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Parent or Merger Sub within 10 days of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company;

50

(ii)any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by May 14, 2022, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(iii)Parent has failed to secure sufficient financing to allow Parent to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration contemplated by this Agreement (a “Financing Failure”) within 30 days of the date on which all other conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.03 have been fulfilled; or

(d)by either Parent or the Company if there shall be any Applicable Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

Section 10.02Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article X, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party except:

(a)as set forth in this Article X, Section 6.04(b) and Article XI hereof; and

(b)that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach of any provision hereof.

Section 10.03Break Up Fee. Parent shall pay the Company a cash termination fee in an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Break Up Fee”) if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(iii). The Parties intend that the Break Up Fee shall be liquidated damages for a Financing Failure that constitute compensation, and not a penalty. Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Company’s harm caused by a Financing Failure would be very difficult or impossible to accurately estimate, and that the Break Up Free is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Financing Failure. Parent’s payment of the Break Up Fee shall be Parent’s sole liability and entire obligation and the Company’s exclusive remedy for a Financing Failure.

Article XI

Section 11.06Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.11Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction).

Section 11.13Member Representatives.

(a)The Members hereby appoint Donald Douglas Burkhalter and James Gulbrandsen to serve as the co-representatives of all Members as provided herein (each a “Member Representative”, and together, the “Member Representatives”). By signing this Agreement in their respective capacity as a Member Representative, Donald Douglas Burkhalter and James Gulbrandsen hereby each accept the appointment as a Member Representative for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Each Member, by the execution of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably appoints the Member Representatives as the representative, proxy, agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution for such Member, for the limited purposes of carrying out the express duties of the Member Representatives under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Within the scope of that limited purpose, each Member grants the Member Representatives the full and exclusive power and authority to represent and bind such Member with respect to all matters relating to, arising under or pursuant to the express duties of the Member Representatives under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. From and after the Closing, the Member Representatives shall be the final, single point representative for and on behalf of each Member and Parent will be obliged to deal only with the Member Representatives. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Member Representatives as to any of the foregoing matters shall constitute a decision of all Members and shall be final, binding and conclusive on each Member. Parent and Merger Sub may rely, without independent investigation upon such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Member Representatives, as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of every Member. EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT SUCH AGENCY AND PROXY ARE COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, ARE THEREFORE IRREVOCABLE WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE MEMBER REPRESENTATIVES AND PARENT, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE DEATH, INCAPACITY, BANKRUPTCY, DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF ANY MEMBER. Upon the death, incapacity or resignation of Donald Douglas Burkhalter or James Gulbrandsen as a Member Representative, Members shall, within ten Business Days, provide Parent with prompt written notice of the identity and contact information of a successor Member Representative and a copy of a written acknowledgement of his, her or its appointment executed by such successor Member Representative. The Member Representatives may only act in their capacity as Member Representatives if both Member Representatives consent to the action to be taken. If the Member Representatives cannot come to an agreement on an action to be taken in their capacity as Member Representatives, the Member Representatives shall take the action that a majority of Members deems appropriate.

(b)The Member Representatives shall not be liable to any Member for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Member Representatives without gross negligence or willful misconduct or fraud. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Members shall severally indemnify the Member Representatives and hold them each harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of the Member Representatives and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Member Representatives in connection with their duties hereunder.

(c)The Member Representatives shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Member Representatives may engage attorneys, accountants, advisors, consultants and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, and maintain such records, as the Member Representatives may deem necessary or desirable and incur other out-of-pocket expenses related to performing their services hereunder. The Member Representatives may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Member Representatives based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith.

(d)All of the immunities and powers granted to the Member Representatives under this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

(e)Upon the Closing, Parent shall wire to the Member Representatives (i) the Member Representative Expense Amount out of the Cash Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(iii)(F), which shall be held by the Member Representatives in a segregated client account (the “Member Representative Expense Account”) and shall be used for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Member Representatives for any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the Special Member’s Amount out of the Cash Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(iii)(I), which shall be held by the Member Representatives in a segregated client account (the “Special Members’ Account”) pursuant to a separate agreement among all of the Members (the “Special Members’ Agreement”). The Members acknowledge that the Member Representatives are not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Member Representatives shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Member Representative Expense Account and the Special Members’ Account other than as a result of their gross negligence or actual fraud. As soon as practicable following the release in full of the Indemnification Escrow Fund and the Special Election Escrow Fund pursuant to terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, the Member Representatives shall disburse the balance, if any, of the Member Representative Expense Account to Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage. The Special Members’ Account will be disbursed in accordance with the Special Members’ Agreement. For Tax purposes, the Member Representative Expense Amount and the Special Members’ Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Members at the time of the Closing.

Section 11.14Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 11.15 Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules to be delivered with this Agreement shall be and hereby are incorporated in their entirety by reference and made a part hereof. The Parties agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Disclosure Schedules shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Seller and the Members that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Seller and the Members that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties (or covenants) would be reasonably apparent to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representations and warranties (or covenants). The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Disclosure Schedules may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Parent and (ii) the disclosure by the Seller and the Members of any matter in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by the Seller and the Members that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material. Capitalized terms in the Disclosure Schedules shall have the same meaning given to them in this Agreement.
