In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.3 shall be determined to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of it being too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement nor any other Closing Deliverable document executed herewith, the covenant contained in Section 5.3 of this Agreement shall not apply if: Buyer defaults under the (i) Short Term Promissory Note; (ii) Promissory Note; or (iii) Holdings defaults under the Guaranty Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the covenant contained in Section 5.3 of this Agreement shall not apply to an Owner if the Buyer terminates the Owner under such Owner’s Member Services Agreement without “Cause” as defined in the Member Services Agreement.

5.4 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other like taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. The Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any tax return or other document with respect to such taxes or fees.

5.5 Collections.

(a) If, following the Closing, either Buyer or Seller (or any of their respective affiliates) identifies any asset that is related to the Business that was not previously transferred by Seller to Buyer, then, Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable further documents in order to transfer to Buyer any such assets. Until such time that Seller or any current or future affiliate thereof transfers any such asset to Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.5, Seller, on behalf of itself and its current or future affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and its affiliates (i) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable right and license (or sub-license and the case may be) to fully use, practice and otherwise exploit such asset and (ii) covenant not to sue with respect to Buyer’s use, practice and exploitation of any intellectual property rights associated with such asset, in each case under clause (i) and (ii), effective as of the Closing Date, and agrees to hold such asset in trust for the sole benefit of Buyer until such time that Seller or a current of future affiliate transfer such asset to Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.5.

(b) From and after the Closing, if either party to this agreement receives any funds intended for or otherwise the property of any other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the receiving party shall promptly (A) notify and (B) forward such funds or property to, such other party

5.6 Termination of Present Employees of Business. Commencing on the Closing Date, except for the Owners, Seller will terminate all employees and independent contractors of the Business who are actively at work on the Closing Date, and, at Buyer’s sole discretion, Buyer shall offer employment, on an “at will” basis, to any and all such employees and independent contractors. Owners shall each enter into a Member Services Agreement with Buyer as referenced in Section 4.4 (d) of this Agreement.

5.7 Works-in Process Reconciliation. After the Closing Date, (i) Seller agrees to promptly pay over to Buyer any Business revenue received by Seller related to work completed or to be completed on or after the Effective Date, and (ii) Buyer agrees to promptly pay over to Seller any Business revenue received by Buyer relating to work completed prior to the Effective Date. Any Business revenue that pertains to periods both before and after the Closing Date shall be pro-rated amongst Buyer and Seller as appropriate.

VI. SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Survival and Limitations. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VI, the representations and warranties of Seller and Owners contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date for a period of two (2) years. Except for representations and warranties contained in Article II and III above, which will survive the Closing Date into the period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the post-closing covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

6.2 Indemnification by Seller and Owners. From and after the Closing Date, Seller and Owners jointly and severally will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer, and its officers and members (each a “Buyer Indemnitee” and, for purposes of Article VI, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any claims, demands, suits, proceedings, judgments, losses, liabilities, damages, taxes, costs, and expenses of every kind and nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) that a Buyer Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any violation, contravention or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller or Owners pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any inaccuracy, breach, or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty of Seller or Owners contained in this Agreement;

(c) fraud or willful misrepresentation by Seller or Owners in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

(d) all Excluded Liabilities; and/or

(e) the conduct of the Business or ownership or use of the Acquired Assets prior to the Closing Date.

6.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, and its officers, members, employees and agents (each, a “Seller Indemnitee” and, for purposes of Article VI, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any Losses that Seller Indemnitee may suffer, sustain, or become subject to based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any violation, contravention or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any inaccuracy, breach, or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement;

(c) fraud or willful misrepresentation by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

(d) all Assumed Liabilities; and/or

(e) the conduct of the Business or ownership or use of the Acquired Assets on or after the Closing Date.

6.4 Notice of Matters Involving Third Parties. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any claim by a third party against it, such Indemnitee will give prompt notice to the indemnifying party or parties (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such proceeding is materially prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice.

6.5 Defense of Matters Involving Third Parties. If any such claim is brought against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such third-party claim and, to the extent that it desires, to assume the defense of such third-party claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such third-party claim and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend such third-party claim and provide indemnification with respect to such third-party claim. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such third-party claim that are subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such third-party claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a third-party claim: (i) it will be deemed for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that third-party claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without Indemnitee’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of laws or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, and (C) the Indemnitee is fully released from such claim; and (iii) the Indemnitee will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.6 Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnitee for Losses which do not result from third party claims shall be asserted by the Indemnitee giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. 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. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

6.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes to the fullest extent permitted by law.
