Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold from such Person with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of any Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall furnish to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made reasonably satisfactory evidence of the remittance of any such Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

Section 1.6 Tax Classification and Reporting.

(a) The parties intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall qualify under Section 368(a)(1)(C) and related Treasury Regulations as a “triangular” type C reorganization, among other requirements, involving the acquisition of substantially all of the assets in exchange for an amount of voting stock of Parent equal to eighty percent of the THC gross assets in fair market value terms (before liabilities). As such, neither party (nor the THC members) will report the transactions as constituting a taxable asset acquisition of a trade or business by Purchaser.

(b) Accordingly, the First Closing and Second Closing are integral parts of the plan of reorganization of THC that shall be treated as a single integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C), notwithstanding the temporal separation of the various closing events, which is necessitated by regulatory approval requirements. In the event of a delay or failure of the Second Closing to occur, the parties will to the extent possible continue to characterize the transaction as a reorganization qualifying under Section 368(a)(1)(C). Any arrangements made by the Parties to address, or in response to, the failure of the Second Closing to occur shall be given its normal and regular tax effect governed by the form and substance of such other arrangements, including but not limited to a license, contractual joint venture, or otherwise, as the case may be.

None of the information supplied, or to be supplied, by the Sellers for inclusion in the Resale Registration Statement or any other securities filings shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If any event occurs with respect to any Seller, or any change occurs with respect to the information provided by any Seller, that causes any such information to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Sellers shall notify Parent promptly of such event or change and supplement such information so that it does not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 4.3 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Each Selling Shareholder acknowledges that the Base Share Consideration may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable Law, including Canadian and United States state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Base Share Consideration other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to an Affiliate of a Selling Shareholder, the Parent may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Parent an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Parent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Base Share Consideration under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 4.3.

(b) Each Selling Shareholder acknowledges that the securities constituting the Base Share Consideration shall have attached to them, whether through the electronic deposit system of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., entered into a direct registration or other electronic book-entry system, or on any certificates that may be issued, the following legends:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JUNE 26, 2021.

(c) Each Selling Shareholder agrees with the Parent (i) that such Selling Shareholder will sell any Base Share Consideration pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, (ii) that if any Base Share Consideration is sold pursuant to a registration statement, it will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, (iii) that if, after the effective date of the registration statement, such registration statement ceases to be effective and the Parent has provided notice to such Selling Shareholder to that effect, such Selling Shareholder will sell Base Share Consideration only in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from the Base Share Consideration due to the effectiveness of a registration statement is predicated upon the Parent’s reliance upon this Agreement.

Section 4.4 Mail; Payments; Receivables; Record Retention.

From and after the First Closing, the Sellers shall refer to the Purchaser all customer, supplier, employee or other inquiries or correspondence received by any of them or any of their Affiliates relating to the conduct of the Business after the First Closing Date, the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. From and after the First Closing, the Sellers shall remit to the Purchaser all payments and invoices received by any of them or any Affiliates thereof that relate to the Business, the Assets (including accounts receivable) or the Assumed Liabilities within five Business Days after receipt thereof. From and after the First Closing, the Purchaser shall remit to the Sellers all payments and invoices received by it or any Affiliate thereof that relate to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities within five Business Days after its receipt thereof. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that for a period of not less than six (6) years following the First Closing Date, it shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the Books and Records relating to the Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets or the Business with respect to periods prior to the First Closing and shall make such Books and Records available to one another for any lawful purpose upon reasonable prior written notice. Each Party shall have the right to destroy all or part of such books and records after the sixth anniversary of the First Closing Date or, at an earlier time by giving each other party hereto 10 days’ prior written notice of such intended disposition and by offering to deliver to the other Party, at the other Party’s expense, custody of such books and records as such first party may intend to destroy. This Section 4.4 is not intended to alter the normal rules of discovery in connection with any dispute among the Parties.

Section 4.5 Public Announcements.

Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Sellers shall not, and the Sellers shall cause their Affiliates, agents, professionals and other representatives not to, make any disclosure or public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including price and terms) or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, provided that the Sellers may make disclosures to their equity holders of the material terms of this Agreement without the consent of the Purchaser provided that such disclosures are made on a confidential basis with respect to any material aspect of this Agreement that has not become publicly available (without a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by Sellers).

Section 4.6 Tax Covenants.

(a) All transfer, sales and use, value added, registration, documentary, stamp and similar Taxes (including any penalties, interest, additions to Tax and costs and expenses relating to such Taxes, but excluding any transfer gains Taxes), whether for real or personal property, imposed in connection with the transaction that occurs pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the Sellers. The Sellers shall, at their sole expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to any Transfer Taxes (and the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(b) All Taxes and Tax Liabilities with respect to the income or operations of the Business or the ownership of the Assets that relate to any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Sellers and the Purchaser as follows: (i) in the case of ad valorem or other property Taxes, on a per diem basis; and (ii) in the case of income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, employment Taxes, or other Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or profits, as determined from the closing of the books and records of the Sellers and the Business as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date.

(c) After the First Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books, records, work papers and Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods) relating to the Business or the Assets as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Tax Return, claim for refund or audit, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed Tax adjustment (it being understood that Sellers shall, at their sole expense, be responsible to prepare all post-Closing Tax Returns of Sellers). Upon reasonable notice, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall make their employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to provide reasonable explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. Any request for information or documents pursuant to this Section 4.6(c) shall be made by the requesting party in writing. The other party hereto shall promptly (and in no event later than 30 days after receipt of the request) provide the requested information. The requesting party shall indemnify the other party for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such party in connection with providing any information or documentation pursuant to this Section 4.6(c). Any information obtained under this Section 4.6(c) shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise reasonably may be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for Tax refunds or in conducting any Tax audit, dispute or contest.

Section 4.7 Confidentiality.

Each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, hold in confidence (and not disclose or provide access to any other Person) any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Business, except to the extent that such Seller can show that such information (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of such Seller or any of its respective Affiliates or representatives; or (ii) is required to be disclosed by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law. If any Seller or any of its Affiliates or representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing and shall disclose or permit disclosure of only that portion of such information which such Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. In the event a breach or threatened breach of this Section 4.7, the Purchaser and each of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive and other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other surety) and shall be entitled to be indemnified with respect thereto by Sellers.

Section 4.8 Bulk Sales Laws.

The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction (collectively, “Bulk Sales Laws”) that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Assets to the Purchaser, it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Sellers to comply with the requirements and provisions of any Bulk Sales Laws of any jurisdiction which would not otherwise constitute Assumed Liabilities shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities.

Section 4.9 Release.

Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, and the predecessors, successors and assigns of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby unconditionally release (i) the Purchaser, the Parent and their Affiliates, (ii) BNC, (iii) the directors, officers, employees, managers, members, partners, direct and indirect investors, advisors, agents and other representatives of the Purchaser, the Parent and their Affiliates and BNC and (iv) the predecessors, successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”) from and against any and all claims, causes of actions, damages, judgments, expenses and other Liabilities, at law or in equity, that Releasors may have in any capacity against Releasees as of the date hereof or to which any Releasee might otherwise succeed as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Released Claims”), provided that insofar as the Purchaser, the Parent, their Affiliates and the Releasees related to the foregoing are concerned, such release is limited to Released Claims related to, arising from or in connection with the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’ rights under the Transaction Documents are excluded from the Released Claims. The Sellers, on behalf of the Releasors, agree to, upon the request of any Releasee, release or reduce any claim asserted against a third party that would be a Released Claim if asserted by a Seller against a Releasee to discharge the third party claim asserted against such Releasee. The Sellers, on behalf of Releasors, hereby agree that this agreement shall apply to all unknown or unanticipated Released Claims as well as those known and anticipated, and upon advice of counsel, the Sellers hereby knowingly waive all rights and protections under California Civil Code Section 1542, which reads as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Section 4.10 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) On the First Closing Date or as promptly thereafter as is practicable, the Purchaser shall extend offers of employment to the Group I Employees. From and after the First Closing, the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time or from time to time to extend offers to any other employees of the Business that the Purchaser so chooses. All such offers of employment shall be on such terms as the Purchaser determines in its sole discretion and the Sellers shall use their good faith efforts to encourage such employees to accept such offers. Employees of the Business who accept the Purchaser’s offer of employment are referred to as “Transferring Employees”.

(b) Except as consented to in writing by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall and shall cause their Affiliates to terminate the employment, on or about March 1, 2021, of the Group I Employees and Group II Employees. The Sellers shall be responsible to issue (and shall be liable for) final paychecks to the Group I Employees and Group II Employees, which shall include salary/wages and accrued vacation through the termination date, and to make all related payroll Tax deposits, on the termination date. The Purchaser shall not assume any Liability under any of the Employee Benefit Plans.

(c) The Sellers shall and shall cause their Affiliates to terminate (i) any contractual provisions or other restrictions that would otherwise prevent any employees of the Business from becoming an employee of the Purchaser or its Affiliates and (ii) any confidentiality or other obligations to the extent they would prevent any employees who accept employment with the Purchaser from using or transferring to the Purchaser or its Affiliates any information related to the Business.

(d) Unless required by applicable Law, any offer of employment by the Purchaser to an employee of the Business who is not actively at work as of the First Closing Date due to an approved leave of absence will be effective on the date following the First Closing Date on which such individual returns to active employment, so long as such date is within six (6) months following the date hereof. If any such employee who is on an approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date does not return to active employment within such six (6)-month period, then the Sellers will continue to employ such employee or terminate such employee at the Sellers’ sole expense.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in the Management Services Agreement with respect to the Group III Employees or as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.10, the Sellers shall be solely responsible for, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations whatsoever for, any compensation or other amounts payable to any current or former employee, officer, director, independent contractor, or consultant of the Business, including hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, accrued vacation, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits, or severance pay for any period relating to their service with the Sellers, and the Sellers shall pay all such amounts to all entitled persons on or prior to their termination date. Payroll for the Group III Employees for the period in which the First Closing occurs shall be administered in accordance with the historical practices of the Sellers and the payment of accrued vacation shall not be required to be made to the Group III Employees by reason of the occurrence of the First Closing. Upon termination of the Management Services Agreement, (i) if the Pendleton Lease Assignment Condition has been satisfied, the Purchaser shall be responsible for all severance and termination costs for the Group III Employees and (ii) if the Pendleton Lease Assignment Condition has not been satisfied, then (x) the Sellers shall be responsible for all severance and terminations costs (other than unpaid wages and accrued vacation) for the Group III Employees and (y) the Purchaser shall reimburse the Sellers for the accrued and projected vacation costs for the Group III Employees reserved by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.4(d)(i)(D)(V).

(f) The Purchaser will cooperate reasonably with the Sellers to provide notices of termination to the Group III Employees required by the WARN Act and similar state Laws provided that neither Beachwood nor the master landlord with respect to the Pendleton Property objects to, interferes with or seeks to interfere with BNC’s occupancy of all or any portion of the BNC Premises and BNC, under Purchaser’s supervision pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, is able to fully and peaceably enjoy the use of the full BNC Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall retain responsibility for providing any notices required under the WARN Act or similar state Laws.

(g) The Sellers shall remain solely responsible for the satisfaction of all claims for medical, dental, life insurance, health accident, or disability benefits brought by or in respect of current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, or consultants of the Business or the spouses, dependents, or beneficiaries thereof, which claims, in the case of Transferring Employees, relate to conditions or events occurring prior to the commencement of their employment (if any) with the Purchaser, provided that in the case of the Group III Employees, the Purchaser shall be responsible for such claims which relate to conditions or events occurring following the First Closing Date to the extent provided under the Management Services Agreement. The Sellers also shall remain solely responsible for all worker’s compensation claims of any current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, or consultants of the Business, which claims, in the case of Transferring Employees, relate to conditions or events occurring prior to the commencement of their employment (if any) with the Purchaser, provided that in the case of the Group III Employees, the Purchaser shall be responsible for worker’s compensation claims which relate to conditions or events occurring following the First Closing Date to the extent provided under the Management Services Agreement. The Sellers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such amounts for which they are responsible to the appropriate persons as and when due.

(h) Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents confers upon any Employee any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 4.10. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall limit the right of the Purchaser to terminate or reassign any Employee after such Employee becomes an employee of the Purchaser, or to change the terms and conditions of his or her employment in any manner.

All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive until the date which is one year after the First Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties stated in Section 2.8, Section 2.16 and Section 3.7 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof), (b) the representations and warranties stated in Section 2.12 shall survive until the second anniversary of the First Closing and (c) the representations and warranties stated in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.5(a) (solely as to the current asset and current liability portions of the Balance Sheet only) and (b), Section 2.9(a), Section 2.21, Section 2.22, Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 (collectively, the “Fundamental Reps”) shall survive indefinitely.

The foregoing survival period limitations shall not apply to any claim based upon fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct.

Section 6.2 Indemnity Obligations of the Sellers.

The Sellers (other than BNC) covenant and agree to and shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Parent, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, managers, members, partners, advisors, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against, and to pay or reimburse the Purchaser Indemnitees for, any and all claims, Liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, proceedings or damages, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in asserting any of their respective rights hereunder (collectively, “Losses”), based on, resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of any Seller contained in the Transaction Documents (other than the Fundamental Reps);

(b) any breach by a Seller of any of the Fundamental Reps;

(c) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or any of them or any of their Affiliates contained in the Transaction Documents or any other closing deliverables or the failure to fulfill any obligation in respect thereof;

(d) any Excluded Liability (including for the avoidance of doubt any Indebtedness, Indemnified Taxes or Closing Liabilities) or Excluded Asset and any amount required to be set forth on Section 2.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule;

Section 6.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. If the Indemnifying Party provides a written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after its receipt of notice of such claim that it will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from all Losses related to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or any litigation with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (i) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, (iii) the failure by any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure to give notice, the defense against such claim is materially impaired, and (iv) the fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the assumption of a Third Party Claim hereunder by the Indemnifying Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party, that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a general release from any and all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim or that includes any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume (or, if applicable, to maintain) control of the defense against a Third Party Claim if (1) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (2) the claim seeks an injunction, specific performance or any other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (3) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects; (4) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (5) the Indemnifying Party fails to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of a Third Party Claim within 30 days after receipt of the written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party described above, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense.

(b) Non-Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such claim within 30 days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such 30 day period. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim.

(c) Escrow Claims. Upon any claim for indemnification in favor of a Purchaser Indemnitee being determined (whether by way of an Order of a Governmental Authority or a settlement or agreement between the Purchaser and THC, on behalf of the Sellers), the Purchaser and THC shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Purchaser a number of Escrow Shares having a value equal to the amount of such indemnification claim. To the extent there are insufficient Escrow Shares remaining in escrow to satisfy any such claim in favor of a Purchaser Indemnitee, subject to the limitations in Section 6.5, Sellers shall be liable for the direct payment thereof.

(d) Escrow Shares. For purposes of Section 5.2(a) and Article VI, and for any other matter arising hereunder that requires the Escrow Shares, or any of the, to be valued, the Escrow Shares shall be deemed to have a value equal to $1.74 per share.

Section 6.5 Certain Limitations.

The indemnification provided for in Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Sellers shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 6.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 6.2(a) exceeds $200,000, exclusive of claims or groups of related claims for Losses not exceeding $10,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Sellers shall be liable under Section 6.2(a) only for such Losses that exceed the Deductible. The Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 6.3(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 6.3(a) exceeds the Deductible, in which case the Purchaser shall be liable under Section 6.3(a) only for such Losses that exceed the Deductible.

(b) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) with respect to aggregate Losses in excess of an amount equal to $4,350,000 (the “General Cap”).

The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

Section 7.15 Specific Performance.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, and therefore a Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other surety) in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled, at law or in equity. No limitation herein shall restrict any Party from seeking and obtaining equitable relief.
