Item 1.01.         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement

On December 16, 2021, RF Industries, Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Wireless Telecom Group, Inc, a New Jersey corporation (“Seller”), and its wholly owned subsidiary Microlab/FXR LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Microlab”) that designs and manufactures high-performance RF and microwave products such as dividers, directional couplers and filters enabling signal distribution and deployment of in-building DAS (distributed antenna systems), wireless base stations and small cell networks. The Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by the Company of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Microlab (the “Interests”) from Seller. The boards of directors of both the Company and Seller have unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Transaction”).

Upon the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Interests is estimated to be $24,250,000, subject to certain closing adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company intends to pay the purchase price using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings from a credit facility.

The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of certain legal impediments, and approval by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of Seller.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary restrictions on Seller’s ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide non-public information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants requiring the board of directors of Seller, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that Seller’s shareholders approve the Transaction. Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Seller delivered voting and support agreements for the holders of approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of Seller’s common stock. Prior to the approval of the Transaction by Seller’s shareholders, the board of directors of Seller may (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify, or modify its recommendation that Sellers’s shareholders approve the Transaction because of a material intervening event or (ii) adopt, approve or recommend an alternative transaction if such alternative transaction is materially superior, subject to complying with notice and other specified conditions. Seller is expected to solicit the consent of its shareholders at a shareholder meeting to be held during the first quarter of 2022.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Seller, including that, subject to certain limitations, (i) the Company or Seller may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Transaction is not consummated by April 30, 2022, subject to a 30 day extension in the event certain customary conditions are satisfied (the “Termination Date”), (ii) the Company and Seller may mutually agree to terminate the Purchase Agreement, (iii) Seller may terminate the Purchase Agreement to accept a materially superior proposal, (iv) the Company or Seller may terminate the Purchase Agreement if requisite approval of the shareholders of Seller has not been obtained upon a vote taken at the shareholder meeting, (v) the Company or Seller may terminate the Purchase Agreement if certain other closing conditions are not met or waived, and (vi) the Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Seller changes its recommendation to its shareholders with respect to approval of the Transaction.

If Seller terminates the Purchase Agreement to accept a superior proposal, then Seller is required to pay the Company a termination fee of $900,000.  If the Company terminates the Purchase Agreement because Seller fails to include Seller’s board recommendation in its proxy statement or Seller’s board has effected an adverse recommendation change, among other reasons described in the Purchase Agreement, then Seller will pay the Company $900,000.  If the Purchase Agreement is terminated by either party because Seller shareholder approval is not obtained at Seller’s shareholder meeting, then Seller will pay the Company its reasonable fees and expenses up to a maximum of $500,000.  In addition, if Seller terminates the Purchase Agreement because (i) the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date due to no fault of Seller, or (ii) due to the Company’s breach of its representations or covenants, the Closing conditions would not be satisfied and the Company will be required to pay Seller its reasonable fees and expenses up to a maximum of $500,000. 

The Purchase Agreement contemplates that the Company will obtain representation and warranty insurance to cover any breach of Seller’s representations.  The maximum aggregate liability of Seller for indemnification claims for breaches of Seller’s or Microlab’s representations (other than certain fundamental representations) is capped at $150,000.  The maximum aggregate liability of Seller for indemnification claims is capped at the final purchase price.

Seller also agreed not to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any activities that compete with Microlab’s business and (ii) hire or solicit any employee, independent contractor, or consultant of Microlab’s business for a period of five years from the closing date, subject to certain carve-outs.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the Company, Seller, and Microlab. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement and:

● should not be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

● may have been qualified in the Purchase Agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement;

● may apply contractual standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under applicable securities laws; and

● were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Purchase Agreement.

During the Review Period, the Seller and its accountants shall have access to the books and records of the Business, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Buyer and/or the Buyer’s accountants, to the extent that they relate to the Post-Closing Statement, and to such historical financial information (to the extent in the Buyer’s possession) relating to the Post-Closing Statement, as applicable, as the Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Post-Closing Statement; provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Buyer, the Company or the Business; provided, further that in no event shall the Buyer be obligated to provide any such access, work papers or information if the Buyer determines, in its reasonable judgment and on the advice of counsel, that doing so is reasonably likely to (i) violate applicable Law or an Order, (ii) waive or reasonably be expected to result in the loss of the attorney-client privilege or other legal privilege or, (iii) breach confidentiality obligations to a third party (provided, that, the Company shall have used commercially reasonable efforts (without payment of any consideration, fees or expenses) to obtain the consent of any such third party). The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties following the expiration of the Review Period unless the Seller delivers written notice of its disagreement with the Post-Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Buyer prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the Seller’s objections to the Post-Closing Statement, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Seller’s disagreement therewith, including Seller’s detailed calculation with respect thereto. Seller shall have the right to submit only one Notice of Disagreement and any item or matter set forth in the Post-Closing Statement that is not expressly disputed in a timely delivered Notice of Disagreement shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then during the thirty (30) day period (the “Resolution Period”) following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If such differences are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the revised Post-Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding. If at the end of the Resolution Period the Seller and the Buyer have not resolved in writing the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, the Seller and the Buyer shall submit any amounts remaining in dispute to the Accounting Firm, who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve such disputed amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement. The Buyer and the Seller agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Accounting Firm shall render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such submission (or such other time as the Buyer and the Seller shall agree in writing). The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to fixing mathematical errors and determining whether the items in dispute were determined in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules and the terms of this Agreement, and no other matters. The Accounting Firm’s decision shall be (w) limited to the specific items under dispute by the Parties (x) based solely on written submissions by the Seller and the Buyer and their respective Representatives (and it shall not permit or authorize discovery or hear testimony) and not by independent review, (y) made strictly in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules and the terms of this Agreement, and (z) final and binding on all of the Parties absent manifest error. The Accounting Firm may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either the Buyer or the Seller or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by the Buyer or the Seller. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section ‎2.3 shall be borne by the Seller, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, in proportion to the final allocation made by such Accounting Firm of the disputed items weighted in relation to the claims made by the Seller and the Buyer, such that the prevailing Party pays the lesser proportion of such fees, costs and expenses.

(B)    Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account and pay to Seller (subject to Section ‎2.5), an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

(ii)    If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price calculated at the Closing (such amount, expressed as a positive number, the “Adjustment Deficit Amount”) by $150,000 or more, then the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account and pay to the Buyer an amount equal to such Adjustment Deficit Amount, and in the event that such Adjustment Deficit Amount:

(A)    is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then (1) the Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Buyer, an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Adjustment Deficit Amount to the Buyer, and (2) without limiting the obligations of the Seller or the Buyer’s rights under clause (1) above, if any amounts required to be paid under clause (1) above are not paid (the amount of any such payment deficit, a “Payment Failure Amount”) on a timely basis in accordance with this Agreement, then upon Buyer’s written request to the Seller, (x) Buyer and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount equal to the Payment Failure Amount, and (y) the Seller shall, on the date of such release of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account, be required to make a payment to the Escrow Agent equal to all amounts it was required to pay but failed to pay under clause (1) above for deposit by the Escrow Agent into the Indemnity Escrow Account; or

(B)    is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, then Buyer and the Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account any remaining amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account (after payment of such Adjustment Deficit Amount from the Adjustment Escrow Account to Buyer), to the Seller (subject to Section ‎2.5).

(iii)    If the Final Purchase Price is not greater than the Estimated Purchase Price calculated at the Closing by $150,000 or more and not less than the Estimated Purchase Price by $150,000 or more, then there will be no adjustment and Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Account and pay to Seller (subject to Section ‎2.5), an amount equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

2.4         Reliance on Pre-Closing Statement. The Buyer and its respective Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Pre-Closing Statement in all respects in making any payments pursuant to this Agreement, and all obligations of the Buyer to make payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed fulfilled if such payments are made in accordance with this Agreement and the Pre-Closing Statement. None of the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company) shall have any liability or obligation to any Person, including the Seller arising from or relating to the failure of or any errors or omissions made by the Seller or the Escrow Agent or any other Person in (a) preparing or calculating the information set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement or (b) making payments or transferring funds to any Person.

- 24 -

2.5         Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer, the Company, the Escrow Agent and any of their respective designees shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold under the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any other provision of applicable Tax Law. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Seller of its intent to withhold or deduct any amounts pursuant to this Section ‎2.5 from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller, and the Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller in good faith to reduce or eliminate the amount of any such withholding or deduction. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

If the Seller does not object by written notice within such period, the amount of Taxes shown to be due and payable on such Buyer Return (and the calculation of the amount of any Taxes required to be paid by the Seller) shall be deemed to be accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section ‎7.8(c) and the Seller shall remit to the Buyer no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Due Date of such Buyer Return the amount of such Taxes relating to such Buyer Return.

(iii)    If the Seller notifies the Buyer that it disputes the manner of preparation of any of Buyer Return or the amount of Taxes to be paid by the Seller, then the Buyer and the Seller shall act in good faith to attempt to resolve their disagreement within ten (10) days following the Seller’s notification of the Buyer of such disagreement.

In connection with any Tax Contest that is described in this Section ‎7.8(f)(iii) and controlled by the Buyer, the Buyer shall not settle or compromise such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the procedures for all Tax Contests shall be governed exclusively by this Section ‎7.8(f).

(g)    Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal Income Tax purposes (and to the extent permitted by Law, for state, local and all other Tax purposes), the purchase of the Purchased Interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a sale of all of the assets of the Company to the Buyer in exchange for the Estimated Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section ‎2.3, and adjusted for any indemnification payments made pursuant to ‎Article 10 that are treated as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section ‎10.10. Neither Buyer nor the Seller shall take any Tax position on any Tax Return, in any audit or proceeding before any Taxing Authority, in any report made for Tax, or otherwise inconsistent with this Section 7.9(g), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

If reasonably requested by the Seller, the Buyer shall provide reasonably sufficient work papers and backup documents related to the preparation of the Allocation Schedule.

(iv)     Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax Sharing Agreements or similar contracts with respect to or involving the Company and any other person shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

7.9         Releases.

(a)    Effective upon the Closing, the Seller and its administrators, executors, trustees, beneficiaries, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby release, forever discharge and covenant not to sue each of the Company, the Buyer, its Affiliates, and each of their respective individual, joint or mutual, Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Seller Releasees”) from and with respect to any and all claims, dues and demands, Proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, Contracts and agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at Law and in equity, which the Seller Releasing Parties now have, have ever had or may hereafter have against the respective Seller Releasees on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or Occurrence occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing including those pertaining to the Seller Releasing Parties’ relationships, direct and indirect, with the Company (including with respect to equity ownership rights in the Company or rights arising by virtue of their status as directors, officers, partners, members, equityholders, employees or similar capacities of the Company) (collectively, the “Seller Released Claims”); provided, however, that this release shall not apply to any rights or claims of the Seller Releasing Parties which are set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents. EACH SELLER RELEASING PARTY FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS AWARE THAT IT MAY HEREAFTER DISCOVER CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IT NOW KNOWS OR BELIEVES TO BE TRUE WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS RELEASED HEREIN. NEVERTHELESS, IT INTENDS TO FULLY, FINALLY AND FOREVER RELEASE ALL SUCH MATTERS, AND ALL CLAIMS RELATIVE THERETO, WHICH DO NOW EXIST, MAY EXIST, OR HERETOFORE HAVE EXISTED BETWEEN SUCH PARTY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE SELLER RELEASEES, ON THE OTHER HAND. IN FURTHERANCE OF SUCH INTENTION, THE RELEASES GIVEN HEREIN SHALL BE AND REMAIN IN EFFECT AS FULL AND COMPLETE GENERAL RELEASES OF ALL SUCH MATTERS, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DISCOVERY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT CLAIMS OR FACTS RELATIVE THERETO.

- 65 -

Without limitation of the foregoing, the Seller, on behalf of themselves and their respective Seller Releasing Parties hereby waive the application of any provision of Law, including California Civil Code Section 1542, that purports to limit the scope of a general release. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

The Seller agrees not to, and agrees to cause the Seller’s subsidiaries not to, whether in his, hers or its own capacity, as successor, by reason of assignment or otherwise, assert, commence, join in, or assist or encourage any third party in asserting, any Proceeding against any Seller Releasee with respect to a Seller Released Claim and waives any rights the Seller may have under any Law which provides that a general release does not extend to claims which any Seller Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by it may have materially affected his or its settlement thereof. The Seller (individually and on behalf of the Seller Releasing Parties) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if a Seller Releasing Party should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any Proceeding against any Seller Releasee with respect to any Seller Released Claim, this Section ‎7.9 may be raised as a complete bar to any such Proceeding, and the applicable Seller Releasee may recover from such Seller Releasing Party all damages incurred in connection with such Proceeding, including attorneys’ fees.

- 66 -

7.10       Confidentiality. Effective upon the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives to, treat and hold as confidential, and shall not use or disclose (a) any documents and information concerning the Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, furnished to it by the Buyer or its Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (b) any information regarding the Company and/or the Business, including trade secrets, know-how, confidential and proprietary information, (such information in clause (b), the “Confidential Information”). In the event that the Seller, their Affiliates, or their respective Representatives are requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any Proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates, and their respective Representatives to, promptly notify the Buyer of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek, at its sole cost and expense, an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section ‎7.10. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Seller, their Affiliates, or their respective Representatives are, on the advice of counsel, legally required to disclose any such information, the Seller, their Affiliates, or their respective Representatives may disclose such information to the requesting authority; provided, however, that the Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates, and their respective Representatives to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of the Buyer and at the Buyer’s sole cost, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall designate in good faith.

7.11       Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a)    For a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates or their respective Representatives, to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Business anywhere in the world; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages in the Business in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, advisor, trustee or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the Business and any customers or suppliers of the Business as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if the Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly (with its Affiliates), own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b)    During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee, independent contractor, or consultant of the Business as of the Closing Date or at any time in 2021, or encourage any such Person to leave such capacity or hire any such Person who has left such capacity.

- 67 -

(c)    During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, entice, divert, or take away, or attempt to solicit, entice, divert or take away, any Person who as of the Closing Date (x) is a customer, vendor, or supplier, or otherwise has a business relationship with the Company or the Business or (y) is seeking to establish a business relationship with the Company or the Business for purposes of reducing or diverting their business or services from the Company or the Business, or (ii) take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any Person described in clause (x) from maintaining the same business relationship with Company or the Business after the Closing Date as it maintained with the Company prior to the Closing Date.

(d)    During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall refrain from, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to refrain from, in any manner, directly or indirectly, all conduct, oral or otherwise, that disparages or damages the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the community of the Buyer, the Company or any Person known to the Seller to be an Affiliate or Representative of the Buyer, provided, however, this paragraph does not apply to: (i) communications between Seller and any Governmental Authority, or between Seller and Buyer; (ii) pleadings, testimony or filings in any arbitration or legal proceeding; or (iii) making truthful product or service comparisons.

(e)    The Seller acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this Section ‎7.11 could give rise to irreparable harm to the Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and the Seller hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by the Seller of any such obligations, the Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of a violation or breach by the Seller, or any Affiliate thereof, of any restriction set forth in this Section ‎7.11, the term of the Restricted Period applicable to such restriction shall be extended by a period equal to the duration of such violation or breach.

(f)    The Seller hereby acknowledge that the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities and the duration of the provisions of this Section ‎7.11 are reasonable and are no broader than are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Buyer, including the ability of the Buyer to realize the benefit of its bargain under this Agreement and to enjoy the goodwill of the Business, and that such restrictions constitute a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section ‎7.11 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section ‎7.11 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(i)    breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Seller or the Company contained in ‎Article 4 or ‎Article 5 (other than the Fundamental Representations);

- 78 -

(ii)    breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Seller or the Company contained in any of the Fundamental Representations;

(iii)    breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Seller or the Company that is required to be performed pursuant to this Agreement;

(iv)    any Pre-Closing Taxes; or

(v)    Excluded Liabilities.

(b)    Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, from and after the Closing, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and their respective Representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party,” and together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any Losses arising from or in connection with any:

(i)    breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in ‎Article 6 or in any certificate delivered hereto; or

(ii)    breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer.

10.3       Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)    Subject to Section ‎10.3(d):

(i)    except with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(i) or Section ‎10.2(b)(i), as applicable, until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(i) exceeds $150,000 (the “Deductible”), whereupon the applicable Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive amounts for only those Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(ii)    except with respect to a breach of the Fundamental Representations, in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(i) in the aggregate exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount;

(iii)     in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a) or the Buyer pursuant to Section ‎10.2(b) exceed the Final Purchase Price; and

(iv)    notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder: (i) to the extent any Loss arises from actions taken or not taken by Buyer or on behalf of Buyer, or any event or occurrence occurring, after Closing and (ii) for any Taxes attributable to Post-Closing Periods.

- 79 -

(b)    For purposes of determining the failure of any representations or warranties to be true and correct or the breach of any covenant and for calculating the amount of any Losses under this ‎Article 10, each such representation and warranty or covenant shall be read without regard to any qualification or reference to “materiality”, “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar materiality qualifications or references contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty or covenant.

(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Buyer’s right to make any claims or recover any proceeds under the R&W Insurance Policy, whether for breaches under this Agreement or any other claim that may be permitted to be made under the R&W Insurance Policy. Each Indemnified Party shall , to the extent required by applicable law, take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate Losses subject to indemnification hereunder upon becoming actually aware of the existence of such indemnifiable Losses, it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall require any Indemnified Party to commence litigation to recover proceeds under any insurance policy (including the R&W Insurance Policy). The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ‎Article 10 shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party under insurance policies in respect of such indemnifiable Losses (net of collection costs, enforcement costs, deductibles, premium increases and similar items incurred in connection with claiming and collecting such proceeds and net of any costs and expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in analyzing coverage availability and pursuing any claims made under any insurance policy). To the extent that any amount is recovered by any Indemnified Party under an insurance policy (including the R&W Insurance Policy, if applicable) or any other source of indemnification after the date that an indemnity payment is made hereunder, then such Indemnified Party shall pay over to the Indemnifying Party such amounts (less any costs of collection, enforcement and increases in premium) as promptly as reasonably practicable after such proceeds are received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Buyer Indemnified Party will not be required to repay amounts actually received from an insurer (including the insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy) to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Party’s total Losses exceed the limits of the R&W Insurance Policy or the amounts received thereunder. In no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement (including amounts indemnifiable under Section ‎10.2) be deemed to include, (a) punitive damages (except as awarded in Third Party Claims) or (b) any Loss, liability, damage or expense to the extent included in the calculation of Final Working Capital.

- 80 -

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any provision of this Agreement limit or restrict the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party or other Person for Fraud. In the event of any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by an Indemnifying Party arising from or relating to Fraud, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect without any time, economic, procedural or any other limitation.

10.4       Indemnification Claim Process for Third Party Claims.

(a)    If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim for Losses or the commencement of any Proceeding by a third party with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder (a “Claim”), notice thereof (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) shall promptly be given to the Indemnifying Party. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure, and the amount of reimbursement to which the Indemnified Party is entitled shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Indemnified Party’s Losses would have been less had such Third Party Claim Notice been timely delivered. After receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice, if (x) the Indemnifying Party produces a notice of election within thirty (30) days of receiving the Third Party Claim Notice, and (y) acknowledges in writing that it would be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its, his or her own choice (subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, that such consent will not be required if such settlement (x) includes an irrevocable and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, (y) provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full and (z) does not require or involve any admission of wrong doing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume the defense of a Claim if (1) the Indemnifying Party fails to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the Claim (after notice of such failure from the Indemnified Party), (2) the Indemnified Party has received written advice from outside counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Claim, (3) such Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of any criminal Law by the Indemnified Party, (4) such Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of an Indemnified Party or its business, (5) such Claim relates to a Material Customer or Material Supplier, or (6) such Claim is reasonably likely to result in Losses that, taken with any other then existing claims under this ‎Article 10, would not be not be fully indemnified hereunder.

(b)    In the event that the Indemnifying Party defends the Indemnified Party against a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Indemnifying Party’s request, with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, including, if appropriate and related to such Claim, in making any counterclaim against the third party claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person, in each case, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may, at its own sole cost and expense, monitor and further participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.

- 81 -

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense and investigation or does not acknowledge in writing within a reasonable period, but no later than thirty (30) days, after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Losses arising from such Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel of its choosing, defend such Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder); it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or pay such Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)    The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

(e)    Notwithstanding this Section ‎10.4, Section ‎7.8(f) shall exclusively govern any and all Tax Contests (and not this Section ‎10.4).

10.5       Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. If a Claim is to be made by any Indemnified Party that does not involve a third party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Direct Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party. If the applicable Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that they do not dispute the claim described in such Direct Claim Notice within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Direct Claim Notice, the Losses identified in the Direct Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section ‎10.2(a) or Section ‎10.2(b), as applicable. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such claim or fails to respond during such thirty (30) day period (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to resolve such matter. If the Parties cannot resolve the dispute during such thirty (30) day period they shall have all rights and remedies available to them under applicable Law.

10.6       Recourse.

(a)    Subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement, with respect to any indemnified Losses, Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party seeking recourse pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) shall first seek recourse pursuant to the Escrow Agreement from the Indemnity Escrow Account as long as there are Indemnity Escrow Amounts validly held in the Indemnity Escrow Account. Thereafter, Buyer shall only seek recourse from the proceeds of the R&W Insurance Policy, in accordance with its terms, if applicable to such Loss. Only in the event that indemnified Losses arise out of or result from valid claims for indemnification pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) may Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party seek recourse directly against Seller in any other manner (and, in all circumstances, such recourse, if any, shall be subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement, including first seeking recourse from the Indemnity Escrow Account and the R&W Insurance Policy, if applicable) and in accordance with the requirements of Section ‎10.6(b).

- 82 -

(b)    Subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement, Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party seeking recourse pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) shall seek such recourse (i) first, from the remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as long as there are Indemnity Escrow Amounts validly held in the Indemnity Escrow Account, (ii) second, to the extent covered thereby, from amounts under the R&W Insurance Policy, and (iii) third, directly from Seller. Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit any claim with respect to Loss for which recovery is sought pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) under applicable policies of insurance and to recover thereunder to the extent such Losses are covered thereby (including, if applicable, the R&W Insurance Policy).

(c)    The obligations of Seller to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect of any Loss solely with respect for recourse sought pursuant to Section ‎10.2(a)(i), whether from the Indemnity Escrow Account or otherwise, shall be held in abeyance pending the resolution of any corresponding claim against the R&W Insurance Policy or other applicable policy of insurance and until all rights thereunder have been pursued in good faith, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to deliver notice under this ‎Article 10 prior to the resolution of any claim under the R&W Insurance Policy or other applicable policy of insurance.

10.7       Escrow.

(a)    As long as there are Indemnity Escrow Amounts validly held in the Indemnity Escrow Account, any and all Losses payable by any Seller Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ‎Article 10 may be paid out of the Indemnity Escrow Account. Upon the determination that any such payment is due to a Buyer Indemnified Party and the delivery of written notice from the Buyer of its election to recover such amount from the Indemnity Escrow Account, the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release such amount from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Buyer.

(b)    Promptly following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release any remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount to the Seller, less any amounts that are subject to pending claims made by any Buyer Indemnified Party under this ‎Article 10 prior to 11:59 p.m. on the Release Date. If any claim made by any Buyer Indemnified Party under this ‎Article 10 is still pending as of the Release Date, the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, will retain a portion of the Escrow Amount in an amount equal to the Losses identified in any unresolved notice delivered pursuant to the Escrow Agreement until such claim has been satisfied or otherwise resolved, at which point Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to the Seller any remaining balance of the Escrow Amount not used to satisfy the indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnified Party under this ‎Article 10.

- 83 -

10.8       No Circular Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Organizational Documents of the Company, or any other Contract, no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified by, advanced expenses by or otherwise recover any amount from the Company or the Buyer if such amount would constitute Losses for which any Seller Indemnified Party would be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party under this ‎Article 10.

10.9       Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) in the case where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, (b) for the purchase price adjustment dispute procedures set forth in Section ‎2.3, (c) for amounts recoverable under the R&W Insurance Policy, and (d) in the case of Fraud, the rights of the Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties hereto with respect to this Agreement. None of Seller, its Affiliates or any of their Representatives shall have any direct or indirect liability of any kind or nature with respect to the R&W Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, by way of subrogation with respect to Losses other than those caused by or based on the Fraud of such Person).

10.10     Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, any indemnity payment made under this Agreement shall be treated by all Parties as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes.
