PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of August 3, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Summer Wealth Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) and Tectonic Holdings LLC, a Texas limited liability company, (“Purchaser” and together with Seller, the “Parties”).
RECITALS:
A. Seller owns 100% of the membership interests (the “Interests”) in: (i) Sanders Morris Harris LLC, a Texas limited liability company and registered investment adviser and broker dealer under the SEC (as defined herein) and FINRA (as herein defined), respectively (“SMH”, which shall include all business of or related to Don A. Sanders that is operated though SMH, (ii) SMH Capital Advisors, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and registered investment adviser under the SEC (as defined herein) (“SMHCA”, and together with SMH, the “SM Companies”), (iii), and Miller-Green Financial Services LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Miller Green”, and together with the SM Companies, the “Companies”, and each individually, a “Company”).
B. SMH owns 100% of the membership interests in HWG Insurance Agency LLC, a Texas limited liability company acting as an insurance agency regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance (“HWG”, and together with the Companies, the “Subject Companies” and each a “Subject Company”), and up to and through the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such interests will be owned by SMH.
C. Seller desires to sell the Interests to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase the Interests from Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
BASIC TRANSACTION

| 1.1 | Purchase and Sale of Interests.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, the Interests, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens (as defined below)), for the consideration specified in Sections 1.1(b) – (d). The Parties agree that the Interests shall not include the Kissinger Division and the Retained Rights and Liabilities (to the extent such Retained Rights and Liabilities can be assigned prior to Closing), both of which shall be distributed or removed from the Subject Companies as required on or before the Closing and retained by Seller or its Affiliate at and after the Closing.

(b) The aggregate consideration being paid for the Interests in connection with the Closing (the “Initial Closing Consideration”), subject to adjustment after the Closing (as hereinafter defined) as provided in Sections 1.1(b) and (c), is an amount, in cash or immediately available funds, equal to the Estimated Net Capital, as the same may be adjusted herein (as so adjusted, the “Purchase Price”). Net Capital shall be subject to an adjustment as further provided in this Section 1.1(b).

| (i) | Post Closing Adjustment.

(A) At least seven Business Days before the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of the Minimum Net Capital and Excess Net Capital (together, the “Estimated Net Capital”), a reasonably detailed calculation of Estimated Net Capital (the “Estimated Net Capital Statement”) prepared using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the most recent monthly Focus Report (United States Securities and Exchange Commission Form X-17A-5) (a “Focus Report”) as if such Estimated Net Capital Statement was being prepared as of the Closing Date, which shall include the following adjustments: any and all accruals necessary to ensure all expenses that have been incurred, but not paid, are reflected in the Estimated Net Capital (including prorated franchise, other taxes and expenses, accrued but unpaid severance as set forth herein, etc.), but only to the extent such adjustments are prepared in accordance with GAAP, for the periods prior to and through the date of the calculation of Estimated Net Capital (herein, “Normal Adjustments”). For the avoidance of doubt, Estimated Net Capital shall give effect to (and be reduced by) Seller’s good faith estimate of the dividend of Excess Net Capital to be made immediately prior to Closing pursuant to Section 1.1(e).
(B) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth its good faith calculation of Net Capital and the Post-Closing Adjustment (as defined below) (the “Net Capital Statement”) prepared using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the most recent monthly Focus Report as if such Net Capital Statement was being prepared as of the Closing Date, which shall include Normal Adjustments.
(C) The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount equal to the Net Capital minus the Estimated Net Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

(D) The Net Capital Statement shall be final and binding on Seller, unless within 30 Business Days following the date of delivery of the Net Capital Statement, Seller notifies Purchaser in writing (a “Section 1.1(b) Objection Notice”) that Seller does not accept as correct the calculation of Net Capital (as shall be specified therein) and the resulting Post Closing Adjustment, as reflected in the Net Capital Statement. If Seller timely delivers a Section 1.1(b) Objection Notice, then Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement as to the calculation of Net Capital and the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment. If within 20 Business Days following delivery of a Section 1.1(b) Objection Notice, the Parties have not reached agreement as to the calculations mentioned above, then Purchaser and Seller shall promptly designate an accounting firm of nationally or regionally recognized standing (the “Independent Accountant”) and not having any material business relationship with any of the Parties (and they shall promptly disclose any such relationships to the other), which (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) shall be instructed to make, as soon as practicable after the matter is referred to such accounting firm, its calculation of Net Capital and the resulting Post-Closing Adjustment (if any). If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, Purchaser and Seller shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Purchaser and Seller, and not by independent review. The determination of Net Capital by such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the Parties (“Independent Post-Closing Determination”). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant with respect to this Section 1.1(b)(i)(D) (the “Independent PCA Fees”), shall be borne one-half by Seller and one-half Purchaser, provided, however, if the Independent Accountant determines that the amount of the Net Capital or Post-Closing Adjustment has been understated or overstated by 5% or more, Purchaser or Seller, respectively, shall be solely responsible for full payment of the Independent PCA Fees.
(E) Payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment (if any) shall be paid in full by Purchaser or Seller (as determined in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(i)(C)), promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days (as hereinafter defined)) after the Post-Closing Adjustment becomes final and binding pursuant to sub-paragraph (D) above, unless Seller delivers a Section 1.1(b) Objection Notice, in which case the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be paid within ten Business Days following the Independent Post-Closing Determination.
(c) The Initial Closing Consideration shall be subject to upward adjustment (the “Earn-Out Adjustment”) following the Closing in accordance with this Section 1.1(c).
(i) Core Earn-Out. As additional consideration and an increase in the Purchase Price for the Interests, at such times provided in Section 1.1(c)(vi), Purchaser shall pay to Seller with respect to each Earn-Out Period an amount, if any (each, a “Core Earn-Out Payment”), equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Excess Revenues for such Earn-Out Period.
Page 3
Purchase and Sale Agreement

(ii) Miller Green Earn-Out. As additional consideration and an increase in the Purchase Price for the Interests, at such times provided in Section 1.1(c)(vi), Purchaser shall pay to Seller with respect to each Earn-Out Period an amount, if any (each, a “MG Earn-Out Payment”, and together with the Core Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period, the “Earn-Out Payment”), equal to fifty percent (50%) of all MG Revenues for such Earn-Out Period that exceed MG Actual Costs (defined below). By way of example, in the event that MG Revenues are $500,000 for a particular Earn-out Period and MG Actual Costs are $392,000, then the MG Earn-Out Payment due to Seller would be $54,000, which is equal to 50% of the MG Revenues that exceed $392,000. “MG Actual Costs” is defined as the actual current, recurring costs of MG (which shall include the lease payment (net of any amounts received by Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to a sublease or similar arrangement with any third party with respect to the former Miller-Green office space), existing contract payments, etc.) and the pay-out, at not more than 35% of revenues, on the MG Revenues being paid to registered representatives to support such MG Revenues, provided that, in the event that the actual, recurring costs are reduced before or after the Closing, the MG Actual Costs shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
(iii) SMWI Earn-Out. As additional consideration and an increase in the Purchase Price for the Interests, at such times provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the SMWI Purchase Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount, if any (the “SMWI Earn-Out Payment”), equal to the Reversionary Interest upon the occurrence of the actions or events causing the SMWI Earn-Out Payment to become due and payable, Purchaser shall pay Seller such SMWI Earn-Out Payment to be paid within ten Business Days of the occurrence of such event. For the avoidance of doubt, after Closing, SMH shall continue to own the SMWI Purchase Agreement, with any and all rights and obligations thereunder, with the sole exception of Seller’s right to receive the SMWI Earn-Out Payment pursuant to its Reversionary Interest.
(iv) The Earn-Out Adjustment (if any) shall be paid to Seller, 100% in cash or immediately available funds.
Page 4
Purchase and Sale Agreement

(v) Not later than 45 days after the end of the applicable Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a written statement (the “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of Excess Revenues and MG Revenues for the applicable Earn-Out Period and the resulting Earn-Out Payment (if any). The Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on Seller, unless within 20 Business Days following the date of delivery of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement, Seller notifies Purchaser in writing (a “Section 1.1(c) Objection Notice”) that Seller does not accept as correct the calculation of Excess Revenues or MG Revenues (as shall be specified therein) for such Earn-Out Period and the resulting Earn-Out Payment as reflected in the applicable Earn-Out Calculation Statement. If Seller timely delivers a Section 1.1(c) Objection Notice , then Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to reach agreement as to the calculation of Excess Revenues and/or MG Revenues (as applicable) for such Earn-Out Period and the resulting Earn-Out Payment. Purchaser and Seller shall each furnish to the other such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the other Party may reasonably request. If within 20 Business Days following delivery of a Section 1.1(c) Objection Notice, the Parties have not reached agreement on it, then Purchaser and Seller shall promptly engage an Independent Accountant, which such Independent Accountant need not be the same Independent Accountant engaged in connection with the Section 1.1(b)(i)(D) and which (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) shall be instructed to make, as soon as practicable after the matter is referred to such accounting firm, the calculation of Excess Revenues and/or MG Revenues (as applicable) for such Earn-Out Period and the resulting Earn-Out Payment (if any). If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, Purchaser and Seller shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Purchaser and Seller, and not by independent review. The determination of Excess Revenues and/or MG Revenues (as applicable) for such Earn-Out Period by such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the Parties (“Independent Earn-Out Determination”). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant with respect to this Section 1.1(c)(v) (the “Independent Earn-Out Fees”) shall be borne one-half by Seller and one-half Purchaser, provided, however, if the Independent Accountant determines that the amount of the Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Period has been understated or overstated by at least 5% for such Earn-Out Period, Purchaser or Seller, respectively, shall be solely responsible for full payment of the Independent Earn-Out Fees.
(vi) Any Earn-Out Payment (if any) shall be paid in full by Purchaser to Seller promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days (as hereinafter defined)) after the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for the applicable Earn-Out Period becomes final and binding pursuant to sub-paragraph (v) above, unless Seller delivers a Section 1.1(c) Objection Notice (as defined herein), in which case such Earn-Out Payment shall be paid within ten Business Days following the Independent Earn-Out Determination, provided that, in any event, any Earn-Out Payment that Purchaser is required to pay to Seller pursuant to Sections 1.1(c)(i) or (ii), shall be paid no later than 60 days after the end of the applicable Earn-Out Period.
(d) All payments with respect to the Earn-Out Adjustment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
(e) Immediately prior to Closing, Seller shall cause the Subject Companies to make a cash dividend in an amount equal to the Excess Net Capital to Seller, to the extent permitted (the “Dividend”).

From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause each of the Subject Companies (as applicable) to, consistent with applicable law and regulation: (a) afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access to and the right to inspect all books and records, contracts and other documents related to the respective Subject Company; (b) furnish Purchaser and its Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Subject Companies as Purchaser or any of is Representatives may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the Representatives of Seller to cooperate with Purchaser in its investigation of the Subject Companies. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, under the supervision of Seller’s personnel, as directed by the Designated Person (defined below), and shall use its best efforts to conduct its diligence in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operations of any of the Subject Companies. Notwithstanding any to the contrary herein, Purchaser hereby agrees to direct all requests related to any investigation under this Section 6.1 to David Hunt, who is hereby designated as the sole representative of Seller and the Subject Companies (the “Designated Person”), to whom Purchaser may make any requests under this Section 6.1. Except for the Designated Person, or with the express approval of the Designated Person, Purchaser shall not contact any Representative of Seller or any of the Subject Companies, directly or indirectly, for any purpose. No investigation by Purchaser or other information received by Purchaser shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement. All information received by Purchaser shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, and Purchaser agrees that Purchaser and its Representatives shall not disclose the purpose of any such diligence to any employee, or other Representative of Seller or any of the Subject Companies, without first receiving approval from Seller or the Designated Person.

6.2 Notifications. Except for any Notice provided for under Section 6.9, as promptly as practicable follow the Closing, each of the Subject Companies shall distribute to its clients and third-party vendors and service providers such forms of written notification relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as are reasonably determined by Seller.
6.3 Employee Matters. Prior to the Closing, Seller agrees to (i) make the personnel changes and salary adjustments as provided on Schedule 6.3, and (ii) consistent with prior practices of the Subject Companies, elect, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to either (x) pay any severance due to an employee of the Subject Companies as provided on Schedule 6.3, or (y) reserve an amount equal to such payments as provided in the immediately preceding clause (x) on the balance sheets of each of the Subject Companies so impacted, provided that, if such amounts are reserved pursuant to clause (y) above, each one dollar ($1) of such reserves shall be deemed to reduce Purchase Price by one dollar ($1). Seller and its Affiliates will terminate all employees listed on Schedule 6.3 at Closing and use reasonable efforts to transfer employment to the applicable Subject Companies of those employees necessary for the Subject Companies’ Business.
6.4 Confidentiality. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect.
6.5 Tax Matters.
(a) Seller shall pay all transfer taxes arising out of or in connection with the transfer of the Interests effected pursuant to this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser with respect to such transfer taxes. Seller shall file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to the transfer taxes relating to the transfer of the Interests.
(b) Purchaser shall, within 60 days of the Closing, provide to Seller for their review, comment and approval, an allocation of the consideration paid at Closing (including the Earn-Out Adjustment and any fixed liabilities assumed by Purchaser) among the assets and properties of the Subject Companies in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, other applicable U.S. federal Tax Laws and any analogous provision of foreign, state or local Laws. Such allocation shall be adjusted as necessary to take into account any payments appropriately treated as purchase price under applicable Tax Laws (including payments received with respect to the Earn-Out Adjustment). Seller shall have 30 days after receipt of such allocation to notify Purchaser of any objections to such allocation. If Seller fails to notify Purchaser of any objections within such 30-day period, Seller shall be conclusively presumed to have agreed and consented to the allocation determined by Purchaser. If Seller timely notifies Purchaser of an objection, Seller and Purchaser will make reasonable efforts to agree on an allocation. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on an allocation within 120 days of the Closing, then Seller and Purchaser shall designate an accounting firm of nationally or regionally recognized standing and not having any material business relationship with any of the Parties (and they shall promptly disclose any such relationships to the other), which (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) shall be instructed to make, as soon as practicable after the matter is referred to such firm, the calculation of such allocation. The determination of such allocation by such accounting firm shall be final and binding on all of the Parties. Purchaser and Seller shall report the purchase and sale of the Interests on all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594, in a manner consistent with such final allocation. If, contrary to the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Section 6.5(b), any taxing authority makes or proposes an allocation different from the allocation determined under this Section 6.5(b), Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in good faith to contest such taxing authority’s allocation (or proposed allocation), provided, however, that, after consultation with the Party adversely affected by such allocation (or proposed allocation), the other Party may file such protective claims or Tax Returns as may be reasonably required to protect its interests.

Any disclosure in a Disclosure Schedule or Schedule Supplement during the Schedule Review Period shall be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement and for determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 have been satisfied; provided, however, that Purchaser has the right (but not the obligation), solely as a result of disclosure contained in such Disclosure Schedule or Schedule Supplement, to terminate this Agreement by the end of the Schedule Review Period. From time to time after the end of the Schedule Review Period and prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware of after the date hereof (each a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 have been satisfied; provided, however, that if Purchaser has the right to, but does not elect to, terminate this Agreement within ten days of its receipt of such Schedule Supplement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter and, further, shall have irrevocably waived its right to indemnification under Section 7.1 with respect to such matter.

7.3 Requests for Indemnification.
(a) If any Party (an “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of a fact, circumstance, claim, situation, demand or other matter for which it or any other Indemnified Party has been indemnified under this ARTICLE VII (any such item being herein called an “Indemnity Matter”), the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of the Indemnity Matter to the party obligated to provide indemnification therefor under this ARTICLE VII (the “Indemnifying Party”), requesting indemnification therefor, specifying the nature of and specific basis for the Indemnity Matter and the amount or estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible; provided, however, a failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced by such failure. Within 20 Business Days after receiving such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give notice that it disputes an indemnification claim within 20 Business Days after receipt of such written notice thereof, it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed (on behalf of all of the applicable indemnifying parties) to the claim, which shall become immediately due and payable.
Page 31
Purchase and Sale Agreement

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense or investigation of such Indemnity Matter and to retain counsel (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and other experts to represent the Indemnified Party and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel and other experts. If within 20 Business Days after receipt of the request (or five days if litigation is pending) the Indemnifying Party fails to give notice to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense or investigation of the Indemnity Matter, an Indemnified Party may retain counsel and other experts (whose reasonable fees and disbursements shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) to file any motion, answer or other pleading and take such other action which the Indemnified Party reasonably deems necessary to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party until the date on which the Indemnified Party receives such notice from the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party retains counsel and other experts, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel and other experts, but the fees and expenses of such counsel and other experts shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party mutually agree to the retention of such counsel and other experts or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party, be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Damages; provided that the Indemnifying Party agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Party for all expenses incurred with respect to such mitigation
(c) The Indemnified Parties shall make available such information and assistance as any Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any claim by such Indemnifying Parties, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. No Indemnity Matter may be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. To the extent it is determined that the Indemnified Party has no right under this ARTICLE VII to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party with respect to a particular claimed Indemnity Matter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party any amounts previously paid or advanced by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claimed Indemnity Matter pursuant to this ARTICLE VII.
7.4 Right to Set Off; Insurance, Tax and Other Benefits.
(a) Any Party shall be entitled to offset any indemnification claim or alleged indemnification claim that such party may have against another party hereto against any amounts such Indemnified Party otherwise is obligated to pay to such potential indemnitor pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) The amount of any indemnification payment to be made by any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be reduced to take into account (in assessing the Damages suffered by the Indemnified Party) any related Tax benefits, insurance recoveries and similar related benefits, recoveries or payments that such Indemnified Party has received as a result of the circumstance, event or occurrence giving rise to such underlying Indemnity Matter, and any such related benefits, recoveries or payments received by an Indemnified Party hereunder following its receipt of indemnification payments hereunder shall be reimbursed to the Indemnifying Parties to the extent failure to do so would result in a recovery by the Indemnified Parties of more than 100% of their Damages. In no event shall any Party be entitled to collect consequential or punitive damages or damages for lost profits as part of any indemnification recovery under this Agreement.
Page 32
Purchase and Sale Agreement

(c) Each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maximize its insurance recoveries and other similar recoveries against third parties with respect to any circumstance, event or occurrence which may give rise to indemnification obligations of other Parties, to the extent that such commercially reasonable efforts could reasonably be expected to result in a reduction in the indemnification obligations of such other Parties.
7.5 Exclusivity. From and after the Closing, the indemnification provided for under this ARTICLE VII shall be the exclusive remedy for monetary damages with respect to breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (other than for fraud), and shall be in lieu of any other remedies for monetary damages for such breaches that may be available to any Indemnified Party pursuant to any Laws; provided, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit any Party’s right to seek injunctive relief or be deemed to limit any Party’s rights under the Ancillary Documents.
7.6 Payments; Adjustment to Purchase Price.
(a) Payments. Once Damages are agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 20 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 20 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Initial Closing Consideration for Tax purposes (except to the extent otherwise required by a “final determination” within the meaning of the Code).
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by:
(a) mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;
(b) either Purchaser or Seller, if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree, ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party (as hereinafter defined) terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such order, decree, ruling or action vacated;
