The Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer in writing of (i) any event, condition or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of the Seller contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) any material breach of any covenant of the Seller hereunder, or (iii) any event or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining all required consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Authorities and third parties.

During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the termination hereof, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage or entertain any inquiries, proposals or offers from any Person (other than the Buyer) relating to any acquisition of the Company, the Shares or any material assets of the Company, or engage in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding any such transaction.

From and after the Closing Date, each Party shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as the other Party may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly deliver to the Buyer or the Company any mail, communications, payments or other items received by the Seller or its Affiliates after the Closing Date that relate to the Company or its business, and shall promptly remit to the Buyer any payments received that are properly for the account of the Company.

Each Party shall preserve and retain all books, records, documents and other information relating to the Company and in such Party's possession, for a period of at least [number] years following the Closing Date, and shall provide the other Party with reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, as may be reasonably necessary in connection with any legitimate business purpose, including tax, accounting, litigation or regulatory matters.

The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer, at the Buyer's cost and expense, in the transition and transfer of the Company's business following the Closing, including by making available such personnel and providing such information as the Buyer may reasonably request for a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date.

Neither Party shall take any action after the Closing Date that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or diminish the benefits that the other Party is intended to derive from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

In consideration of the sale of the Shares and the payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, for a period of [number] years commencing on the Closing Date (the "Restricted Period"), the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, director, officer, employee, consultant, agent or otherwise, engage in, carry on, participate in, or have any financial interest in any business that competes with the business of the Company as conducted as of the Closing Date, within the geographic area of [territory].

During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce, hire, engage or attempt to solicit, induce, hire or engage any employee, consultant, independent contractor or officer of the Company or the Buyer to terminate his or her employment or engagement with the Company or the Buyer, or (ii) hire or engage any such Person who was an employee, consultant, independent contractor or officer of the Company at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding such hiring or engagement.

During the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away any customer, client, supplier, vendor, licensee or business partner of the Company for purposes of offering products or services competitive with those offered by the Company, or otherwise interfere with the business relationships of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be prohibited from owning, solely as a passive investment, not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding equity securities of any publicly traded corporation that may engage in a business competitive with that of the Company, provided that the Seller does not actively participate in the management or operations of such corporation.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this section are reasonable in scope, duration and geographic area, and are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Buyer and the Company, including the goodwill acquired by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

The Seller further acknowledges that any breach of the covenants set forth in this section would cause irreparable harm to the Buyer for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and accordingly, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

If any provision of this section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable due to its scope, duration or geographic area, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company), and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement, or (iii) any pre-Closing taxes of the Company not reflected in the financial statements.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement, or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement of the Buyer contained in this Agreement.

Any Person entitled to seek indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of any claim for which indemnification is sought, describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the facts giving rise thereto and, to the extent known, the amount of Losses claimed; provided, however, that the failure to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced thereby.

In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense.

The Indemnified Party shall cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, and shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and does not impose any non-monetary obligations on the Indemnified Party.

Payments by an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other third-party recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses, net of all reasonable costs and expenses of collection and any resulting increases in insurance premiums.

Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the indemnification provisions set forth in this section shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other rights, claims and remedies that it may have against the other Party arising under or based upon this Agreement.

The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of [number] months following the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties relating to organization, authority, capitalization and title to the Shares (the "Fundamental Representations") shall survive indefinitely or until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) the representations and warranties relating to tax matters shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

The Seller shall not have any liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses arising under this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds [amount] United States Dollars (US$[amount]) (the "Deductible"), in which event the Seller shall be liable only for the amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to Losses arising from breaches of Fundamental Representations, tax representations, fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

The aggregate maximum liability of the Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for all Losses arising under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to [percentage] percent ([__]%) of the Purchase Price (the "Cap"); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to Losses arising from breaches of Fundamental Representations, tax representations, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, in which case the aggregate maximum liability shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

The aggregate maximum liability of the Buyer to the Seller Indemnified Parties for all Losses arising under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price, except in cases of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for lost profits or lost business opportunities, except to the extent such damages are awarded to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim for which indemnification is available hereunder.

Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses to the extent such Losses could reasonably have been avoided or mitigated through the exercise of such efforts.

No Party shall be entitled to recover more than once for the same Loss, and in determining the amount of any Loss, the amount shall be reduced by any tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the incurrence of such Loss.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by mutual written consent of the Parties; (b) by either Party upon written notice to the other Party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, provided that the terminating Party is not then in material breach of this Agreement; (c) by either Party upon written notice to the other Party if any Governmental Authority shall have issued a final, non-appealable order, decree or ruling permanently restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party if the other Party has materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and such breach (i) would cause any of the conditions precedent to Closing not to be satisfied, and (ii) is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to the breaching Party, or is incapable of being cured within such period.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no further force or effect, and there shall be no liability on the part of either Party, except that (i) the provisions relating to confidentiality, notices, governing law, dispute resolution and this termination clause shall survive such termination, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

The right of termination set forth in this section is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Parties at law or in equity for breach of this Agreement.

The Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall provide written notice of termination to the other Party, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such termination and the provision of this Agreement under which such termination is being effected.

Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or destroy, all confidential information of the other Party in its possession, and shall certify such return or destruction in writing upon the other Party's request.

Each Party acknowledges that in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such Party may have received or may receive confidential and proprietary information of the other Party and the Company, including, without limitation, trade secrets, customer and supplier lists, financial information, business plans, pricing information, technical information and other proprietary information (collectively, "Confidential Information").

Each Party agrees that it shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and representatives to, (i) hold all Confidential Information of the other Party in strict confidence, (ii) use such Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) not disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party, except as expressly permitted hereunder.

The obligations of confidentiality set forth in this section shall not apply to any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party, (ii) was known to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure, (iii) becomes available to the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing Party that is not bound by any confidentiality obligation, or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to or use of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

If a receiving Party is legally required to disclose any Confidential Information by subpoena, court order or other legal process, such Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide prompt written notice to the disclosing Party so that the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and shall cooperate reasonably with the disclosing Party at the disclosing Party's expense in connection therewith.

Neither Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange on which such Party's securities are listed, in which case the Party required to make such disclosure shall, to the extent practicable, consult with the other Party prior to making such disclosure.

All notices shall be in the English language. Any notice given on a day that is not a Business Day, or after 5:00 p.m. local time at the place of receipt on a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been given on the next succeeding Business Day.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to the service of process in connection with any legal proceeding, which shall be governed by applicable law.

This Agreement, including its formation, validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [State], United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of [State].

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof (a "Dispute"), shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiations between senior executives of the Parties, who shall meet (whether in person or by telephone or video conference) within thirty (30) days after written notice from one Party to the other requesting such negotiations.

If the Dispute is not resolved through such negotiations within sixty (60) days after the initial notice, then the Dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by [arbitration institution] in accordance with its then-prevailing rules, by [one (1) or three (3)] arbitrator(s) appointed in accordance with such rules. The seat of arbitration shall be [City, State], and the language of arbitration shall be English.
