Receipt by Buyer of any of the agreements, instruments, certificates or documents delivered pursuant to this Section 1.3(c) shall not be deemed to be an agreement by Buyer that the information or statements contained therein are true, correct or complete, and shall not diminish Buyer’s remedies hereunder if any of the foregoing agreements, instruments, certificates or documents are not true, correct or complete.
1.4    Company Net Working Capital Adjustment.
(a)    Pursuant to Section 6.8, Seller shall deliver the Company Closing Net Working Capital Certificate to Buyer not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    Within 75 days after the Closing, Buyer may object to the calculation of Company Net Working Capital included in the Company Closing Net Working Capital Certificate (the “Calculations”) by delivering to Seller a notice (the “Buyer Notice”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of Company Net Working Capital and the amount by which Company Net Working Capital as calculated by Buyer is less than Company Net Working Capital as set forth in the Company Closing Net Working Capital Certificate, in each case together with supporting documentation, information and calculations as is reasonably necessary for Seller to review such calculations.
(c)    Seller may object to the calculation of Company Net Working Capital set forth in the Buyer Notice by providing written notice of such objection to Buyer within 30 days after receipt of the Buyer Notice (the “Notice of Objection”), together with supporting documentation, information and calculations, as is reasonably necessary for Buyer to review such calculations. Any matters not set forth in the Notice of Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller.
(d)    If Seller timely provides the Notice of Objection, then Buyer and Seller shall confer in good faith for a period of up to 10 Business Days following Buyer’s timely receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
(e)    If, after the 10 Business Day period set forth in Section 1.4(d), Buyer and Seller cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Buyer and Seller shall engage KPMG

    
3



LLP or, if such firm is not able or willing to so act, another auditing firm acceptable to both Buyer and Seller (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review only the matters in the Notice of Objection that are still disputed by Buyer and Seller and the Calculations to the extent relevant thereto. After such review and a review of the Company’s relevant books and records, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days following its engagement) determine in writing the resolution of such remaining disputed matters, which written determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and the Reviewing Accountant shall provide Buyer and Seller with a calculation of Company Net Working Capital in accordance with such determination.
(f)    If the Final Net Working Capital differs from the Company Net Working Capital, then the adjustment to the Purchase Price that would have been made at Closing if the Final Net Working Capital amount had been used, if any, shall be calculated and Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall deliver to the other the difference between the adjustment that was made and the adjustment that would have been made if the Final Net Working Capital amount had been used..
(g)    The fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be paid (i) by Buyer in the event the difference between the Final Net Working Capital as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.4(e) and the Calculations set forth in the Buyer Notice (such difference, the “Buyer’s Difference”) is greater than the difference between the Final Net Working Capital as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.4(e) and the Calculations set forth in the Notice of Objection (such difference, the “Seller’s Difference”), (ii) by Seller if the Buyer’s Difference is less than the Seller’s Difference or (iii) equally by Buyer on the one hand, and Seller on the other hand, if the Buyer’s Difference is the same as Seller’s Difference.
(h)    To the extent that the Seller has an obligation to deliver amounts to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4, Buyer shall first satisfy such obligation through a reduction in the principal amount of the Note. Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 1.4 will not be subject to any of the limitations set forth in Article IX. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law.
1.5    Severance.
(a)    For each three-month period during the nine-month period following the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a certificate executed by an officer of Buyer certifying (i) the list of Company Employees as of the Closing Date terminated during such three-month period, (ii) the date of such Company Employee’s termination and (iii) the amount of any termination payments, including, but not limited to, severance payments, statutory notice payments and payments made in lieu of notice required under the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (the “WARN Act”) or any similar state or local law (the aggregate amount of such payments, the “Termination Costs”) made to each such Company Employee (the “Termination Certificate”) with supporting documentation, information and calculations as is reasonably necessary for Seller to review such termination payments. Such certificates shall be delivered within 11 months following the Closing.
(b)    Within 30 days after the Termination Certificate is delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 1.5(a), Seller may object to any manifest error contained in the Termination Certificate by delivering to Buyer a notice (the “Seller Notice”) setting forth such manifest error.

    
4



(c)    If Buyer and Seller cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Seller Notice, then either Buyer or Seller may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 10.12 to resolve the matter, which written determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
(d)    One-half of the total aggregated Termination Costs for all certificates delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a) shall be borne by Seller up to an aggregate obligation of Seller equal to $2,500,000, which amount shall be offset against the principal amount of the Note. Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 1.5 will not be subject to any of the limitations set forth in Article IX.
1.6    Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Buyer with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of Seller are fully authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
1.7    Withholding Rights. Buyer and its Affiliates and agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts Buyer or such Affiliate or agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax law, provided, that the Buyer shall consult in good faith with the Seller prior to withholding any amounts payable hereunder and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the applicable Tax Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Subject to the disclosures set forth in the disclosure letter of the Company delivered to Buyer concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (clearly indicating the appropriate Section and Subsection (including by cross-references) to which it relates (provided the relevance to other representations and warranties is reasonably apparent from reading the actual text of the disclosures without any reference to extrinsic documentation or any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed), and each of which disclosures shall also be deemed to be representations and warranties made by the Company to Buyer under this Article II), the Company represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
2.1    Organization, Standing, Power and Subsidiaries.
(a)    The Company is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Company has the limited liability company power to own, operate, use, distribute and lease its properties and to conduct the Business and is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character or location of its assets or properties (whether owned, leased or licensed) or the nature of its activities make such qualification or licensing necessary to the business of the Company as currently conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate with any such other failures, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.

    
5

(c)    TCSI is the only Subsidiary of the Company. TCSI is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all necessary corporate power, authority and capacity to own its assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Neither the nature of its business nor the location or character of the assets owned or leased by TCSI requires it to be registered, licensed or otherwise qualified as an extra-provincial or foreign corporation in any jurisdiction other than jurisdictions where TCSI is duly registered, licensed or otherwise qualified for such purpose and other than jurisdictions where the failure to be so registered, licensed or otherwise qualified does not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not own, or have any interest in any shares or have an ownership interest in any Person other than its shareholdings in TCSI.
2.2    Capitalization.
(a)    Seller is the record owner of and has good and valid title to the Membership Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances. The Membership Interests constitute 100% of the total issued and outstanding membership interests in the Company.

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall own all of the Membership Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
(b)    The Membership Interests were issued in compliance with Applicable Laws. The Membership Interests were not issued in violation of the organizational documents of the Company or any other agreement, arrangement, or commitment to which Seller or the Company is a party and are not subject to or in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any Person.
(c)    There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to any membership interests in the Company or obligating Seller or the Company to issue or sell any membership interests (including the Membership Interests), or any other interest, in the Company. Other than the Organizational Documents, there are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any of the Membership Interests.
(d)    The Company is the sole registered and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of TCSI, free and clear of all Encumbrances. All the shares in TCSI have been duly and validly issued and are outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares. There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to any shares in TCSI or obligating the Company or TCSI to issue or sell any shares, or any other interest, in TCSI.
2.3    Authority; Non-contravention.
(a)    The Company has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Company Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Company Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Company. Each Company Transaction Document has been, or prior to the Closing Date will be, duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due execution and delivery of such Company Transaction Document by the other parties hereto, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its

    
6



terms subject only to the effect, if any, of (i) applicable bankruptcy and other similar Applicable Law affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. The sole manager of the Company, by resolutions duly adopted (and not thereafter modified or rescinded) has (i) declared that this Agreement and the Transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company member, (ii) approved this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law and (iii) directed that the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions be submitted to the sole member of the Company for consideration and recommended that the sole member of the Company adopt this Agreement and approve the Transactions.
(b)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Company Transaction Documents, by the Company does not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, (i) result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any of the material assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require any consent, approval or waiver from any Person pursuant to, (A) the Operating Agreement, or other equivalent organizational or governing documents of the Company or the certificate of incorporation of any Subsidiary, in each case as amended to date, (B) any Contract of the Company or any Subsidiary or any Contract applicable to any of its material assets, except, in the case of this clause (B), where such conflict, violation, default, termination, cancellation or acceleration, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material effect with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary, or (C) any Applicable Law.
(c)    No consent, approval, Order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Entity or any other Person is required by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Company Transaction Document or the consummation of the Transactions, except for (i) such filings and notifications as may be required to be made by the Company in connection with the Transactions under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws and the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws and (ii) such other consents, approvals, Orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations, filings and notices that, if not obtained or made, would not adversely affect, and would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Company’s ability to perform or comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations of the Company herein or in any other Company Transaction Document or to consummate the Transactions in accordance with this Agreement or any other Company Transaction Document and Applicable Law.
2.4    Financial Statements; No Undisclosed Liabilities.
(a)    The Company has delivered to Buyer its unaudited, consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended to December 31, 2016 and its unaudited, consolidated financial statements for the four-month period ended April 30, 2017 (including, in each case, balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows) (collectively, the “Financial Statements”), which are included as Schedule 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. The Financial Statements (i) are derived from and in accordance with the books and records of the Company, (ii) complied as to form with applicable accounting requirements with respect thereto as of their respective dates, (iii) fairly and accurately present the consolidated financial condition of the Company at the dates therein indicated and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods therein specified (subject, in the case of unaudited interim period financial statements, to normal recurring year-end audit adjustments, none of which individually or in the aggregate are or will be material in amount), and (iv) were prepared in accordance

    
7



with GAAP, except for the absence of footnotes in the unaudited Financial Statements, applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved if such consistent basis is in accordance with GAAP.
(b)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any Liabilities required to be reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP other than (i) those set forth or adequately provided for in a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries included in the Financial Statements as of April 30, 2017 (such date, the “Company Balance Sheet Date” and such balance sheet, the “Company Balance Sheet”), (ii) those incurred in the conduct of the Company’s and any Subsidiary’s business since the Company Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, if such past practice is in accordance with GAAP, and do not result from any breach of Contract, warranty, infringement, tort or violation of Applicable Law, (iii) those that are not in excess of $100,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate and (iv) those incurred by the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement. Except for Liabilities reflected in the Financial Statements, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any off-balance sheet Liability of any nature to, or any financial interest in, any third parties or entities, the purpose or effect of which is to defer, postpone, reduce or otherwise avoid or adjust the recording of expenses incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary. All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Company Balance Sheet have been established in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and are adequate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has ever guaranteed any debt or other obligation of any other Person.
(c)    Schedule 2.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all Company Debt, including, for each item of Company Debt, the agreement governing the Company Debt and the interest rate, maturity date, any assets securing such Company Debt and any prepayment or other penalties payable in connection with the repayment of such Company Debt at the Closing.
(d)    Schedule 2.4(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the names and locations of all banks and other financial institutions at which the Company or any Subsidiary maintains accounts and the names of all Persons authorized to make withdrawals therefrom.
(e)    The accounts receivable of the Company and any Subsidiary (the “Accounts Receivable”) as reflected on the Company Balance Sheet and as will be reflected in the Company Closing Net Working Capital Certificate arose in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges. Allowances for doubtful accounts and warranty returns have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in accordance with the Company’s past practice if such past practices are in accordance with GAAP and are sufficient to provide for any losses that may be sustained on realization of the applicable Accounts Receivable. The Accounts Receivable arising after the Company Balance Sheet Date and before the Closing Date (i) arose or shall arise in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (ii) represented or shall represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges. As of the date hereof, none of the Accounts Receivable is subject to any claim of offset, recoupment, set-off or counter-claim and, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no facts or circumstances (whether asserted or unasserted) that could give rise to any such claim.
(f)    The Company has established and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances (i) that transactions, receipts and expenditures of the Company and any Subsidiary are being executed and made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management and the Board, (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary (A) to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and (B) to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) regarding

    
8

6.10    Tax Matters.

    
43



(a)    Tax Returns. All Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) will be prepared and filed (or will be caused to be prepared and filed) by Buyer. Buyer shall prepare such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practice, except to the extent required by Applicable Law. With respect to any such Tax Returns that are income Tax Returns, Buyer shall provide such Tax Return to the Seller for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least 15 Business Days prior to the due date therefor. Any Tax deductions arising out of the payment of unpaid Transaction expenses or from other costs and expenses incurred by or with respect to the Company or TCSI in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be allocated to the Tax Returns that are filed by or with respect to the Company or TCSI for Taxable periods (or portions thereof) that end on or before the Closing Date (or if applicable, to a prior Taxable period) to the maximum extent permitted by Law. This Section 6.10(a) shall not apply to any Tax Return which constitutes a Voluntary Disclosure Filing.
(b)    Tax Contests. Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing upon receipt by Buyer of any written notice from a Governmental Entity of an audit, contest, examination, litigation or other controversy with respect to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may give rise to a claim for Taxes for which the Seller may have an indemnification obligation (each, a “Tax Contest”); provided that any failure by Buyer to so notify the Seller shall not relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless and to the extent that the Seller is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby. The Seller, at its own expense, shall be permitted to participate in, but not control, any Tax Contest and Buyer shall not settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Contest if such settlement or compromise would result in an indemnification obligation of the Seller without the prior written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This Section 6.10(b) shall not apply to any Tax Contest which constitutes a Voluntary Disclosure Filing.
(c)    Negative Tax Covenant. Subject to Section 6.10(i), Buyer shall not (or shall not cause or permit the Company or TCSI to) make or change any Tax election or amend, refile or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return of the Company or TCSI with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period or, except as expressly contemplated under this Agreement, take any other action outside the ordinary course of business that would increase any Tax liability or reduce any Tax benefit in respect of any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d)    Tax Refunds. Seller shall be entitled to, and Buyer shall forward to Seller, any Tax refunds (including any interest paid by a Governmental Entity thereon) or Tax credits for overpayment in lieu thereof of the Company or TCSI attributable to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending before the Closing Date that are received by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company or TCSI); provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to any such refunds and/or credits (i) that results from the carryback to a Pre-Closing Tax Period of any Tax attribute of the Buyer, Company or TCSI created in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or (ii) to the extent such Tax refund is a refund of Taxes which were not actually paid by the Company or TCSI on or prior to the Closing Date or the Seller after the Closing Date. In the event any such refund and/or credit is subsequently disallowed or determined to be an amount less than the amount taken into account to make a payment pursuant to this Section 6.10(d) by a Tax Authority, the Seller shall return upon request of Buyer such excess to Buyer.
(e)    Transfer Taxes. All transfer (documentary or otherwise), gains, value added, stamp, recording, registration, filing and conveyance Taxes, and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with

    
44



the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller.
(f)    Cooperation. Seller and Buyer shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to): (i) assist each other in preparing any Tax Returns or Voluntary Disclosure Filings which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; (ii) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to establish any available exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Transfer Taxes, (iii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with any Tax Authority regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company and TCSI; (iv) make available to the other party and to any Tax Authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of the Company and TCSI; (v) provide timely notice to the other party in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to Taxes of the Company or TCSI for any Taxable period for which the other party is responsible for preparing and filing Tax Returns; and (vi) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence received from any Tax Authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such Taxable period.
(g)    Intent. The parties hereto (and their Affiliates) intend that the Transaction shall be treated as a sale (by Seller) of all of the assets of the Company (to Buyer) for U.S. federal income (and other applicable income) Tax purposes and will report the Transaction consistently therewith, including on all Tax Returns. The parties hereto (and their Affiliates) agree not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment unless required by Applicable Law.
(h)    Allocation of Purchase Price. Within 60 days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (including, for purposes of this Section 6.10(h), any assumed liabilities, other consideration paid to Seller or other relevant items) for the assets of Company among such assets for Seller’s review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). If Buyer and Seller cannot agree with respect to any disputes with respect to the Allocation Schedule, any such disputes shall be resolved by an accounting firm acceptable to both Seller and Buyer in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 6.10(i). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Buyer and Seller each agrees to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and all federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, as such Allocation Schedule has been agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller each agrees to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete Form 8594.
(i)    Voluntary Disclosure Agreements. After the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, at the direction of the Buyer, be permitted to initiate, control and settle or otherwise compromise all voluntary disclosure agreements, initiatives and similar processes, including the filing and/or amendment of any Tax Returns or agreements, for the mitigation of any Liability for sales and use Taxes (and any similar or equivalent Taxes) in all applicable state and local jurisdictions (collectively, the “Voluntary Disclosure Filings”). Buyer agrees that it shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the liability for such Taxes in the preparation, filing, negotiation and settlement of such Voluntary Disclosure Filings. The Seller agrees that it shall not be permitted to contact any venue, customer or former customer of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any sales, use or similar Tax matters, except with the prior written consent of the Buyer. Not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of each Voluntary Disclosure Filing, Buyer shall provide Seller with a draft copy of such Voluntary Disclosure Filing for Seller’s review, and Buyer shall consider in good faith any comments to such Voluntary Disclosure Filing provided by Seller prior to filing. If Seller and Buyer do not agree with respect to the amount of Tax liability reflected in any Voluntary Disclosure Filing, and Seller and Buyer cannot mutually agree to continue their

    
45



efforts to resolve such differences, Seller and Buyer shall engage an accounting firm acceptable to both Seller and Buyer to review the matters in dispute with respect to such Voluntary Disclosure Filing. Seller and Buyer shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the accounting firm within ten (10) Business Days after the engagement of the accounting firm, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Seller, Buyer and the accounting firm (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the accounting firm), regarding their respective positions relating to such matters in dispute. After such review, the accounting firm shall promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) Business Days following its engagement) determine in writing the resolution of such disputed matters, which written determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The cost of such review shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer. In the event of any conflict between Section 6.10(a), Section 6.10(b), Section 6.10(c) or Section 9.6 and this Section 6.10(i), this Section 6.10(i) shall control.
(j)    Section 338(g) Election. Seller and Buyer agree that Buyer shall not make nor cause or permit to be made any election under Section 338(g) of the Code (a “Section 338(g) Election”) with respect to TCSI or any other Subsidiary of the Company that is a foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(5) of the Code in connection with the transactions effected and/or contemplated pursuant to this Agreement unless Seller has consented to such election (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (1) all costs (including any Taxes) attributable to a Section 338(g) Election shall be borne solely by Buyer, (2) Seller shall have no indemnity obligation to Buyer or any of its Affiliates from any liability for any costs (including Taxes) attributable to such election, and (3) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, within 10 days after demand therefor, from and against any and all of any increase in Seller’s Tax liability (including any Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this clause) that may result, directly or indirectly, from such an election. In the event such a Section 338(g) Election is made, Buyer shall be responsible for preparing any applicable purchase price allocation for Tax purposes in accordance with Section 6.10(h), and Buyer, each applicable Subsidiary of the Company and the Seller shall each file all Tax Returns, and execute such other documents as may be required by any Governmental Entity, in a manner consistent with such purchase price allocation. Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Seller each agree not to take any position inconsistent with any such Section 338(g) Election or related purchase price allocation.
6.11    Employee Matters.
(a)    Buyer may extend offers of employment to any Company Employees effective as of the Closing Date. Schedule 6.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the list of current Company Employees as of the date hereof. Subject to Section 5.2(f) hereof, the Company shall be entitled to update Schedule 6.11(a) periodically prior to the Closing Date to reflect any new hires, transfers, resignations and other employment additions and terminations of Company Employees which may have occurred subsequent to the date hereof in the ordinary course of business and shall deliver to Buyer a final version of Schedule 6.11(a) no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    In no event shall any Company Employee be entitled to accrue any benefits under any employee benefit plans of Seller or its Affiliates with respect to services rendered or compensation paid on or after the Closing Date.
(c)    The provisions contained in this Section 6.11 are for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and no current or former employee, director or independent contractor or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 6.11 is intended or shall be construed to (i) give any Person (including any Company Employee),

    
46



other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Section 6.11 or any provision contained herein or (ii) establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.
6.12    Employee Non-Solicitation. Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, for a period starting on the Closing Date and continuing until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, contact, solicit or approach for the purpose of offering employment to or other service relationship arrangement with (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) any Company Employee during such one (1) year period; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude (i) the hiring by Seller or its Affiliates of any such Company Employee who is applying for employment with Seller or its Affiliates on their own initiative without direct or indirect inducement or encouragement by Seller or Affiliates, (ii) the hiring of any Company Employee whose employment has been terminated by the Company or Buyer, (iii) the hiring of any Company Employee whose employment has been terminated by such Company Employee 180 days from the date of such termination of employment with the Company, or (iv) the solicitation (or employment as a result of the solicitation) of any such Company Employee through (x) public advertisements or general solicitations that are not specifically target at such person(s) or (y) recruiting or search firms retained by Seller or its Affiliates using a database of candidates without targeting any Company Employee, without direction or knowledge on Seller’s or its Affiliates’ behalf. Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, agrees that the scope of the restrictive provisions set forth in this Section 6.12 are reasonable with respect to subject matter, time and scope and that the provisions contained in this Section 6.12 are a material inducement to Buyer’s entering into this Agreement and but for the provisions contained in this Section 6.12 Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement. It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.12 by Seller or its Affiliates will result in irreparable injury to Buyer, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach and that, in addition to any other remedy it may have, Buyer shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Section 6.12 by Seller and its Affiliates through both temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond, but without limitation of their right to damages and any and all other remedies available to them, it being understood that injunctive relief is in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies.
6.13    Commercial Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate the terms of a commercial agreement addressing the terms set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Commercial Agreement”); if Seller waives the delivery of the Commercial Agreement from the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(d) prior to the Closing, the covenant in this Section 6.13 shall survive until a Commercial Agreement is entered into or the parties agree that no Commercial Agreement will be entered into.
6.14    Financing.
(a)    Buyer shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments as promptly as practicable, including using best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitments, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Financing Commitments that are within its control, (iv) upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments and all conditions herein to Buyer’s obligation to effect the Closing (in each case, other than those that can only be satisfied upon the Closing), consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments and (v) at the request of Seller, fully enforce the obligations of the investors and the lenders (and the rights

    
47



of Buyer) under the Financing Commitments, including the filing of one or more lawsuits against the committing parties to fully enforce such investor’s and lender’s obligations (and the rights of Buyer) thereunder. Buyer shall keep Seller reasonably informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Financing, including the status of Buyer’s efforts to comply with its covenants under, and satisfy the conditions contemplated by, the Financing Commitments and shall give Seller prompt notice of any event or change that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of Buyer to timely consummate the Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall give written notice to Seller promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, if at any time: (A) the Financing Commitments shall expire or be terminated for any reason or Buyer becomes aware of a material breach by any party to any Financing Commitments; (B) the receipt, on or prior to the Closing Date, of any written notice or other written communication from any financing source with respect to any actual or potential breach, default, event of default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing or pursuant to which the investors or lenders thereunder have indicated that they will not perform their obligations to make the investments or loans and other extensions of credit thereunder at or prior to the Closing; or (C) Buyer otherwise determines that Buyer is unlikely to timely receive the Financing. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not agree to any amendment, modification, supplementation, restatement or replacement of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments in any manner (including by way of a side letter or other binding agreement, arrangement or understanding) without the prior written consent of Seller, except Buyer may amend, modify, supplement, restate or replace the Financing Commitments, in whole or part, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or replacement (1) does not reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below the Required Amount, (2) does not impose new or additional conditions, or expand or modify any of the existing conditions, to the consummation of the Financing, (3) is not reasonably expected to hinder, materially delay or prevent the Closing, (4) does not make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur in any respect and (5) does not adversely impact the ability of Buyer or Seller to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements with respect thereto. In the event that all or any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Commitments (including after giving effect to applicable “market flex” provisions), Buyer shall use best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing (“Alternative Financing”) from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to pay the Required Amount or otherwise replace the unavailable portion of the Financing promptly following the Financing becoming unavailable; provided, however, that in no event shall such Alternative Financing be subject to any new or additional conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the alternate financing, as compared to the conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the Financing under the Financing Commitments as in existence as of the date of this Agreement unless approved in writing by Seller. Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of commitment letters and fee letters (but the fee letter may be redacted as to economic terms) for any Alternative Financing for its review prior to the execution thereof and of fully executed copies as promptly as practicable following the execution thereof. In the event that any Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 6.14(a), references in this Agreement to the Financing shall be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing (in lieu of the Financing replaced thereby), and if one or more commitment letters, fee letters or definitive financing agreements are entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references in this Agreement to the Financing Commitments and definitive financing agreements in respect of the Financing shall be deemed to refer to such commitment letters, fee letters and definitive financing agreements relating to such Alternative Financing, and all obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.14(a) shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Financing replaced thereby. Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of all documents relating to the Financing reasonably requested by Seller.

(b)    From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees, subject to Section 6.2, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and cause its respective senior management, agents and representatives to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide, such assistance with the Financing as is reasonably requested by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.14(b), (i) nothing in this Section 6.14(b) shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (A) require Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their representatives, as applicable, to (1) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing Date, or incur any liability or give any indemnities, (2) commit to take any similar action that is not contingent upon the Closing Date or (3) adopt or approve resolutions or consents to authorize the execution of any documents for the Financing unless the relevant directors or officers will continue in such positions (or similar positions) after the Closing, and in each case, such documents shall not become effective until the Closing or thereafter, (B) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or conflict with the other limitations set forth in Section 6.2, (C) require Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate any applicable Organizational Documents of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any Applicable Laws or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract which Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries is a party, (D) result in any officer or director of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to the Financing or (E) require Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries to enter into any financing or purchase agreement for the Financing that would be effective prior to the Closing Date and (ii) no liability or obligation of Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their representatives under any agreement entered into in connection with the Financing shall be effective until the Closing Date.
(c)    Buyer shall, within ten (10) days following written request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all reasonable third-party costs incurred by Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Company and any of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information provided by Seller, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries). The obligations of Buyer under this Section 6.14(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6.15    Board Observer Rights. As long as the Note is outstanding and Seller or its successors own at least 1% on a fully diluted basis of Buyer’s securities, Buyer shall invite a representative of Seller to attend all meetings of Buyer’s board of directors in a non‑voting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2, and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to, all information so provided; provided, further, that Buyer may withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any materials or meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Buyer and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or other highly confidential information.

(e)    All Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of the amount of any actual recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Person prior to the final resolution of the associated claim under any existing insurance policies and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) in respect of any Indemnifiable Damages suffered, paid, sustained or incurred

    
54



by any Indemnified Person; provided that no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any such recoveries, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.2(f).
(f)    Prior to making any claim for Indemnifiable Damages for any Sales Taxes, the Indemnified Persons agree to use best efforts to obtain recoveries, or provide proof of payment (or lack thereof), from each applicable venue, customer or distributor for such Taxes. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, “best efforts” shall be deemed satisfied by the Indemnified Persons with respect to any particular venue, customer or distributor if an officer of the Buyer certifies in writing to the Seller (and provides evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller) that the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents) has performed each of the following actions: (1) the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents) shall have requested in writing, at least two times, by certified mail to such venue, customer or distributor a confirmation that the applicable Taxes have not been paid and a recovery payment in the amount of such Taxes, (2) the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents) shall have investigated public records to determine whether the venue, customer or distributor continues to operate as a going concern, and (3) the Buyer (or any of its Affiliates, employees or agents) shall have engaged a third party collection agent to seek recovery of the applicable Taxes from such venue, customer or distributor; provided, however, with respect to such Taxes in excess of $100,000 (determined on a cumulative basis) with respect to any venue, customer or distributor, (i) “best efforts” shall further require that the Buyer and the Seller have consulted in good faith to determine the extent to which additional steps may be appropriate to recover such amounts and the Buyer shall have taken any such additional steps, and (ii) in the event that Buyer and Seller cannot agree on such additional steps, then Buyer shall have the right to make a claim for Indemnifiable Damages for such Taxes and Seller shall have the right in its sole discretion to pursue any additional steps (including litigation) to recover such Taxes at its own expense and solely for its own benefit, and in such event Buyer agrees to cooperate to the extent requested by Seller with respect to such additional steps.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the costs and expenses of performing the steps described in clause (3) and clause (i) of the proviso of the preceding sentence shall be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Seller (as Indemnifiable Damages).  In addition, the Indemnified Persons agree to consult in good faith with the Seller at the Seller’s request regarding the Indemnified Persons’ efforts to recover any such Taxes, obtain proof of payment, and/or obtain written certifications from such venues, customers or distributors, and shall consider the Seller’s comments with respect to such efforts in good faith. Any amounts recovered from or confirmed to have been paid by any venue, customer or distributor shall not be eligible for recovery as Indemnifiable Damages hereunder.
9.3    Period for Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.3, the period (the “Claims Period”) during which claims may be made (i) for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (A) the matters listed in Sections 9.1(a)(i) or 9.1(a)(ii) (other than with respect to any of the Special Representations or the IP Representations) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. local time on the date that is 15 months following the Closing Date and (B) any failure of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.10 (Intellectual Property) (the “IP Representations”) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. local time on the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date and (ii) for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with all other matters, including Fundamental Claims and matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(v), shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. local time on the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for such matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Claims Period for claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi) or fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful conduct shall not be limited. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods supersede any applicable statute of limitations that would otherwise apply.

    
55



9.4    Claims.
(a)    During the Claims Period, Buyer may deliver to Seller one or more certificates signed by any officer of Buyer (each, a “Claim Certificate”):
(i)    stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages; provided, that with respect to Indemnifiable Damages related to Sales Taxes, such Indemnified Person has reasonably demonstrated compliance with Section 9.2(f) prior to delivering a Claim Certificate;
(ii)    stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Buyer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and
(iii)    specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Buyer) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.
(b)    Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Buyer as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Buyer by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) Seller or the Company are materially prejudiced thereby.
9.5    Resolution of Objections to Claims.
(a)    If Seller does not contest, by written notice to Buyer, any claim or claims by Buyer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then the principal amount of the Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate; provided, however if the claim or claims set forth in such Claim Certificate relate to the matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi), Seller shall instead pay Seller an amount of cash equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.
(b)    If Seller objects in writing to any claim or claims by Buyer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period set forth in Section 9.5(a), Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith for 45 days after Buyer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Buyer and Seller shall so agree, a joint written instruction setting forth such agreement shall be prepared, signed by both parties. Upon execution of such instruction by both parties, Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the principal amount of the Note by an amount in accordance with such instruction provided, however if the claim or claims set forth in such Claim Certificate relate to the matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi), Seller shall instead pay Seller an amount of cash in accordance with such instruction. If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 9.5(b), but in any event upon the

    
56



expiration of such 45-day period, either Buyer or Seller may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 10.12 to resolve the matter. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the principal amount of the Note by an amount in accordance therewith; provided, however if the claim or claims set forth in such Claim Certificate relate to the matters listed in Section 9.1(a)(vi), Seller shall instead pay Seller an amount of cash in accordance with such decision.
(c)    Judgment upon any determination of an arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.
9.6    Third-Party Claims. In the event that Buyer becomes aware of a third-party claim or demand (including a threat in writing of such), or is served with a third-party complaint, counterclaim or cross-claim in litigation (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”) that Buyer reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in the relevant Claim Certificate (or amendment thereof) of such Third-Party Claim and (subject to any applicable confidentiality or privacy obligations or law) the identity of the person or party asserting such claim or demand; provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except if and to the extent Seller has been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Seller shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any claim of privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, and subject to execution by Seller of Buyer’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. Seller, shall, at its sole expense, be entitled to participate in any defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided that Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claims. Buyer shall be entitled to settle such Third-Party Claim without the consent of Seller; provided that any settlement of a Third-Party Claim without the consent of Seller shall not be determinative of any indemnification Claim that may be made hereunder resulting from such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if there is a Third-Party claim that if adversely determined would give rise to a right of recovery for Indemnifiable Damages hereunder that is either, (a) not otherwise subject to a settlement or other adjudication that is consented to in writing by Seller or (b) is not otherwise determined to constitute Indemnifiable Damages hereunder, then 50% of any amounts incurred by the Indemnified Persons in defense of such Third-Party Claim, shall be deemed Indemnifiable Damages and shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with this Article VIII and the remaining 50% of such amounts shall be borne by the Indemnified Persons. If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 9.6 and Section 6.10(b) (relating to Tax Contests), the provisions of Section 6.10(b) shall control.
9.7    Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

A party hereto may apply either to a court of competent jurisdiction or to an arbitrator, if one has been appointed, for prejudgment remedies and emergency relief pending final determination of a claim pursuant to this Section 10.12.

10.13    Governing Law. This Agreement, all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and all obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law that would refer a matter to a different jurisdiction.

The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement, each Schedule and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any Applicable Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
