(d)         Following the Closing and prior to December 31, 2022 (such period is referred to herein as the “Earnout Period”), except in each case with the prior written consent of Seller and compliance with applicable Law, Buyer shall maintain separate trial balance accounts and records for the MC Business, in a manner necessary to fairly calculate 2022 Net Revenue. During the Earnout Period, Buyer shall operate the MC Business in good faith and shall not, directly or indirectly, take any actions in bad faith that would have the purpose of avoiding or reducing the Earnout Shares payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as specifically stated herein, Buyer has no obligation to operate the Business and the Purchased Assets in order to achieve any Earned Shares or to maximize the amount of any such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, not to discontinue, wind up, liquidate or otherwise dispose of all or any material part of the MC Business, other than in the ordinary course of business.

(e)        The Parties understand and agree that the contingent rights to receive any Earnout Shares shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Law relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer.
 
(f)          Following the Closing:
 
(i)          Within fifteen (15) calendar days following the end of each quarter of the Earnout Period, Seller shall, in good faith, prepare and deliver a written notice to Buyer containing a list of all business opportunities evaluated by the MC Business during the prior quarter (each an “Interim Business Opportunity Statement”) including, with respect to each opportunity, (1) the full name of the opportunity, (2) identity of the individual sourcing the opportunity and (3) identification of the opportunity as “MC Sourced” or “Referral Client”. The Interim Business Opportunity Statement shall be delivered by Seller to Josh Weiss and Paul Roberts, on behalf of Buyer, by e-mail.
 
(ii)         Buyer shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt to review the Interim Business Opportunity Statement. If Buyer has any proposed adjustments to the statement, Buyer shall deliver, prior to expiration of the review period, written notice of its proposed adjustments to the Interim Business Opportunity Statement, which notice shall include reasonable detail supporting each adjustment (a “Business Opportunity Adjustment Statement”). The Business Opportunity Adjustment Statement shall be delivered by Buyer to Michael Kalman, on behalf of Seller, by e-mail.

(iii)        If Buyer does not deliver its Business Opportunity Adjustment Statement prior to expiration of the review period, then the Interim Business Opportunity Statement for the applicable quarter shall be final. If Buyer timely delivers a Business Opportunity Adjustment Statement then Josh Weiss and/or Paul Roberts, on behalf of Buyer and Michael Kalman, on behalf of Seller, shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the discrepancy including, at the request of Michael Kalman participation in at least one in-person meeting on the subject.
 
(iv)        If Buyer and Seller resolve any or all of the adjustments, such dispute items shall be final and binding.   If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any or all of the adjustments, such dispute items shall be reserved for resolution at the conclusion of the Earnout Period by an Arbitrator in accordance with Section 8.10(a).

Section 2.05    Allocation of Purchase Consideration.
 
Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Consideration (plus any Assumed Liabilities treated as part of the consideration paid for income tax purposes) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) and which shall follow the allocation methodology set forth on Schedule 2.05. A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller within 60 days following the Closing Date. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 120 days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Buyer and Seller agree that the Allocation Schedule shall be amended to reflect adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Agreement and any adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. In the event the allocation is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving the notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party concerning resolution of such dispute, shall keep the other party apprised of the status of such dispute, such other party shall have the opportunity to participate in any discussion or dispute concerning such allocation, and neither party shall have the authority to resolve such dispute without the consent of the other party (which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 2.06     Withholding Tax.
 
Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Consideration all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder. Prior to making any deduction or withholding Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Seller in respect of which such withholding is proposed to be made and use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller to reduce or eliminate such withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law including taking into consideration duly executed Tax forms.

Section 2.07    Third Party Consents.
 
To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Seller Contract, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller and Buyer covenant and agree to cooperate to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible; provided that
(a)  neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to pay any consideration for such consent, release, substitution or amendment; and (b) Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2(b) shall terminate on the one year anniversary of the date of this Agreement. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer.

Section 4.17    Securities Law Matters.
 
(a)          Seller acknowledges its understanding that the issuance of the Earnout Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In furtherance thereof, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer and its Affiliates as follows:

(i)          Seller has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, Earnout Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii)          Seller is acquiring the Earnout Shares for investment purposes, and not with a view towards the resale or distribution of the Earnout Shares, except, to the extent in compliance with federal and state securities laws, to those of its current equity holders who are "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act (any such transfer being referred to herein as an “Equity Holder Transfer”). Seller represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest in the Earnout Shares will be held for Seller’s beneficial account only, and neither in whole or in part for any other person, except those of its current equity holders who are "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act;

(iii)        Seller has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of receiving the Earnout Shares as consideration for the Purchased Assets, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to the Earnout Shares;

22

(iv)        Seller and its attorney, accountant, representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of accepting the Earnout Shares as consideration for the Purchased Assets; and

(v)          Seller (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by it, if any, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
 
(b)        Seller is not relying on Buyer or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations regarding the Earnout Shares. Seller has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to Seller in writing the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and Buyer or any Affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

(c)          Seller has carefully considered the potential risks relating to Buyer and receipt of the Earnout Shares, and fully understands that the Earnout Shares are a speculative investment, involve a high degree of risk of loss, and the market value may decrease to zero.
 
(d)          Seller will not sell or otherwise transfer any Earnout Shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that Seller must bear the economic risk of its receipt of the Earnout Shares because, among other reasons, the Earnout Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, Seller is aware that the Earnout Shares are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. Seller understands that any sales or transfers of the Earnout Shares are further restricted by state securities laws and/or the provisions of this Agreement. Unless the Earnout Shares are sold in a transaction registered in accordance with the Securities Act or effected pursuant to Rule 144, Seller will cause any proposed transferee of the Earnout Shares held by it (including any transferee in connection with an Equity Holder Transfer) to deliver to the Company an investment representation certificate containing customary investment representations, executed by such proposed transferee

(e)          No oral or written representations or warranties have been made, or information furnished, to Seller or its Advisors, if any, by Buyer or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, Affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries in connection with issuing the Earnout Shares, other than any representations of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

(f)          Seller understands and agrees that the certificates for the Earnout Shares shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel, the Earnout Shares may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

23

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(g)          Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved the Earnout Shares or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the issuance of the same pursuant to this Agreement. There is no government or other insurance covering any of the Earnout Shares.
 
(h)          Seller and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of Buyer concerning the issuance of the Earnout Shares and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Buyer, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Seller and its Advisors, if any.
 
(i)          In making the decision to accept the Earnout Shares as consideration for the Purchased Assets, Seller has relied solely upon the information provided by Buyer in this Agreement or that is otherwise publicly available. To the extent necessary, Seller has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the receipt of the Earnout Shares hereunder. Seller disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of its consideration of receipt of the Earnout Shares.
 
(j)          Seller acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections furnished by Buyer to Seller were prepared by the management of Buyer in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by Buyer or its management and should not be relied upon.

(k)          No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to Seller or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the issuance of the Earnout Shares that are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein.
 
(l)          Seller, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of receiving the Earnout Shares as consideration for the Purchased Assets, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of the same. Seller is able to bear the economic risk of receiving the Earnout Shares as consideration for the Purchased Assets and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss if the value of the Earnout Shares declines to zero.

The party required by Law to pay any such Straddle Period Tax shall file the Tax Return related to such Straddle Period Tax within the time period prescribed by Law and shall timely pay such Tax. To the extent any portion of such payment is the responsibility of the other party hereunder, the filing party shall provide the other party with notice of the amount of such Taxes, and within 10 days of receipt of such notice, the other party shall reimburse the filing party for the other party’s share of such Taxes.

(c)        Cooperation. To the extent relevant to the Business or the Purchased Assets, each party shall (i) provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return and the conduct of any audit or other reexamination by any Governmental Authority or in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings relating to any liability for Taxes and (ii) retain and provide the other with all records or other information that may be relevant to the preparation of any Tax Returns, or the conduct of any audit, examination or other proceeding relating to Taxes (each, a “Tax Contest”). Such cooperation shall include obtaining and providing appropriate forms, providing the necessary powers of attorney, retaining and providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder, in each case at the expense of the party requesting such cooperation. Seller shall retain all documents, including prior years’ Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records with respect to the Purchased Assets and Business, including all sales, use and employment Tax Returns, and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records for seven years after Closing or, if later, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, without the prior written consent of Buyer, and shall offer Buyer the opportunity to take possession of any such documents and records prior to any destruction or disposition of them. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any Tax Contest that could reasonably give rise to a Seller indemnification obligation hereunder, to participate in any such Tax Contest at its sole expense and Buyer shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the consent of the Seller (which consent cannot be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)         Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to reconcile the amounts of any advance billing revenue or prepaid expenses received or paid by the Seller prior to the Closing Date related to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities for the time periods after the Closing Date. Such reconciliation shall be based on the relative time of ownership by each of the Seller and Buyer before and after the Closing Date as set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02. Following the reconciliation of such amounts, Seller shall promptly remit any prepaid expenses or advance billing revenue which constitute Purchased Assets to Buyer.

(a)        Neither Seller nor Buyer, as applicable, shall be liable to the other’s Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), respectively, exceeds $40,000 (as applicable to Buyer or Seller, the “Basket”), in which event Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses above its Basket.

Section 7.05     Indemnification Procedures.
 
The party making a claim under this Section 7.05 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Section 7.05 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.
 
32

(a)          Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or one of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants or financial advisors (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 15 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim (or within such shorter time identified by the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary to respond to such Third Party Claim), to assume responsibility for the Third Party Claim and conduct at its sole expense the defense against such claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)        Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 15 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)          Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
 
33

Section 7.06     Payments; Indemnification.
 
Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section 7.06, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations as follows:
 
(a)          Any Losses payable to a Seller Indemnitee shall be satisfied within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
(b)         Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee shall be satisfied from Seller. Buyer shall be entitled, in its absolute discretion, to offset any Losses by reducing any Earnout Shares payable to Seller hereunder. Any such reduction shall be calculated with each Earnout Share being deemed to be valued at the Buyer Stock Price.
 
Section 7.07    Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.
 
All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
 
Section 7.08     Exclusive Remedies.
 
The parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 7.08. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties and their Affiliates and their Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 7.08. Nothing in this Section 7.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Except as provided in Section 8.07, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)        SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.10, ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

Section 8.10    Dispute Resolution.
 
(a)        The parties hereto agree that disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to Section 2.04 of this Agreement that are not appropriate for resolution by the Independent Accountant, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement to mediate or arbitrate the particular dispute, shall be submitted exclusively to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or its successor for final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator selected by AAA or jointly selected by Buyer and Seller (the “Arbitrator”) as described below. Such arbitration shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware (or such other location as the parties to such dispute mutually agree) and administered by AAA pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment on an award of the Arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties hereto from seeking provisional remedies (including equitable remedies) to preserve the status quo pending arbitration or in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction referenced in Section 8.9.

(b)         Any party hereto may commence arbitration in accordance with Section 2.04(iii) by providing to AAA and the other party a written request for arbitration, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. If arbitration is so requested, the parties will cooperate with AAA and with one another in selecting the Arbitrator from the AAA panel of neutrals and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The Arbitrator must be an attorney experienced in mergers and acquisitions transactions and agreements. If the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable neutral Arbitrator meeting such standards, AAA shall select the Arbitrator from the persons on its panel of neutrals who have such qualifications. The parties agree that they will participate in any such arbitration in good faith. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of any such arbitration by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the Arbitrator or any AAA employees, shall be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties; provided, that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non- discoverable as a result of its use or disclosure in the arbitration.
 
(c)          The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of any discussions or arbitration proceeding and any award or mediated outcome resulting therefrom, including any arbitration discussions or hearings, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, in seeking or enforcing a judgment on an award of the Arbitrator, or unless otherwise required by applicable Law or judicial decision.
 
(d)          Time is of the essence for any arbitration under this Agreement and arbitration hearings shall take place within 60 days of filing and awards rendered within 60 days thereafter. The parties agree that any final judgment rendered against a party by the Arbitrator shall be conclusive as to the subject matter of such final judgment and may be entered as a judgment and enforced in the courts of any other jurisdictions in any manner provided by law.

(c)          References in this Agreement to any agreement or any particular provisions of Law shall be deemed to refer to such agreement or Law as they may be amended after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
 
(d)         Any reference in this Agreement to “day” or number of “days” without the explicit qualification of “business” must be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days. If any action or notice is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day and that calendar day is not a Business Day then the action or notice is deferred until, or may be taken or given, on the next Business Day.
