2.9 Treatment of Options and Warrants.

(a) Subject to this Section 2.9, each Option that is vested and exercisable at the Closing (whether in accordance with the terms of the applicable Option Agreement or at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors) with an exercise price less than the Closing Date Per Share Merger Consideration (an “In-the-Money Vested Option”) shall be deemed exercised, cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time without any future liability to Purchaser (other than as specifically set forth in Section 2.12), the Company, the Surviving Company or any other Person after the Effective Time, into the right to receive from the Surviving Company the In-the- Money Vested Option Cancellation Payment, subject to adjustments following the Closing as specified in this Agreement (including release of amounts held in the Escrow Account or the Seller Representative Expense Fund). The shares with respect to the Options that shall not become vested (i.e., to the extent not vested in accordance with the applicable Option Agreement or at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors) shall immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically be extinguished and cancelled without the right to receive any consideration (with no payment being made hereunder with respect thereto). Options with an exercise price that is equal to or exceeds the Closing Date Per Share Merger Consideration shall immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent not exercised by the holder thereof prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan, automatically be extinguished and cancelled without the right to receive any consideration (with no payment being made hereunder with respect thereto). As a condition to the receipt of the foregoing consideration provided in this Section 2.9, each holder of an In-the-Money Vested Option shall agree and acknowledge in an option surrender form substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Option Surrender Form”), with such modifications as may be necessary, in each case, in a manner reasonably acceptable to each of Purchaser and the Company, that such holder (each holder, a “Tendering Optionholder”) (A) approves of this Agreement (including the liabilities of such Optionholder set forth in this Agreement), the Escrow Agreement, the other Related Documents and all of the arrangements relating thereto, (B) approves the appointment of the Seller Representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (C) represents and warrants that it is the owner of all such In-the-Money Vested Options free and clear of all Liens and (D) acknowledges that such Optionholder’s portion of the In-the-Money Vested Option Cancellation Payment constitutes all of the consideration such Optionholder is entitled to receive with respect to the In-the-Money Vested Options held by such Optionholder, subject to adjustments following the Closing as specified in this Agreement (including release of amounts held in the Escrow Account or the Seller Representative Expense


ACTIVE 274341277

Fund).

With respect to each Optionholder (including any Non-Employee Optionholder) who shall not have delivered to the Company an Option Surrender Form prior to the Closing Date but does so after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall direct the Company to pay to such Optionholder (promptly following such Optionholder’s delivery to the Company of a duly executed and completed Option Surrender Form) such Optionholders In-the-Money Vested Option Cancellation Payment (and in the case of any Non-Employee Optionholder, Purchaser shall direct the Company to pay to such Non-Employee Optionholder the Non-Employee Option Cash Cancellation Payment and the Non- Employee Option Purchaser Stock Cancellation Payment) such Optionholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon, subject to any subsequent adjustments thereto, had such Option Surrender Form had been delivered on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, all of any such Optionholder’s Options shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time regardless of whether such Optionholder delivers to the Company an Option Surrender Form.

At the Effective Time, pursuant to Section 1.6(b) of the Warrants, all outstanding Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.4(b) of the applicable Warrant as a “Cashless Exercise” (as defined in the applicable Warrant) and canceled and terminated as of the Closing, and converted into the right of the Warrantholders thereof to receive an amount, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes, with respect to each Warrant, equal to the amount of the Closing Date Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock such Warrant would have received if immediately prior to the Effective Time exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 of the applicable Warrant, as set forth in the Allocation Schedule. Warrantholders shall be treated as Tendering Stockholders and shall be paid pursuant to Section 2.16 other than the requirement to deliver any stock certificates.

2.10 Pre-Closing Statement. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”), which shall set forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (a) Closing Date Cash and Cash Equivalents (“Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents”), (b) Working Capital (“Estimated Working Capital”), (c) the Closing Date Indebtedness (“Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”), (d) Selling Expenses (“Estimated Selling Expenses”) and a list of Persons to whom such Selling Expenses are payable and, if applicable, invoices relating thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, and wire instructions therefor, and (e) the Closing Date Merger Consideration based upon such items.

ACTIVE 274341277

resolve their differences; provided that, if Purchaser and the Company are unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the Closing Date, then, subject to Section 2.12, the Company’s calculations as reflected in the Pre-Closing Statement shall control for purposes of all payments to be made at Closing. To the extent Purchaser and the Company resolve any of their differences prior to the Closing, then Purchaser and the Company shall jointly agree on a revised Pre-Closing Statement that will control for purposes of the payments to be made at the Closing.

Such In-the-Money Vested Option Cancellation Payment shall be payable by the Company in cash and such cash consideration shall not increase the amount of Purchaser Common Stock received as consideration by the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock at the Closing.

(e) With respect to the Optionholders set forth on Schedule 2.9(e) (the “Non- Employee Optionholders”), at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to the Company, for the benefit of and for payment to the Non-Employee Optionholders in accordance with this Article 2, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by the Company to Purchaser, the aggregate amount of all Non-Employee Option Cash Cancellation Payments.

If Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, or the Escrow Agent intends to withhold any Taxes from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, it shall use reasonable best efforts to provide prior notice of such withholding to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after it determines withholding is required. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding would otherwise have been paid.

(j) All payments made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.10 will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Company prior to the Closing, and Purchaser shall rely on the accuracy of such accounts delivered by the Company to Purchaser and will not be liable in any way for any inaccuracy thereof.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing, Purchaser shall in good faith prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a written statement (the “Closing Statement”), based upon the books and records of the Company Group, which shall set forth Purchaser’s calculation of (i) Closing Date Cash and Cash Equivalents, (ii) Working Capital, (iii) Closing Date Indebtedness, (iv) Selling Expenses and (v) the Final Merger Consideration based upon such items. The parties acknowledge that the sole purpose of the determination of Working Capital in the Closing Statement is to adjust the Merger Consideration to reflect changes in the Working Capital, and such change can only be measured if the calculation is done using the Accounting Methodology, consistent with the preparation of the Target Working Capital.

(b) During the thirty (30)-day period following the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement and following execution of customary non-reliance, confidentiality or similar agreements, the Seller Representative and its representatives shall be permitted reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon prior reasonable written request, to, and be allowed to make copies of, all relevant books and records (including accountant work papers) and reasonable access to accountants of the Company Group to the extent reasonably necessary to complete their review of the Closing Statement, and Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company Group to, reasonably cooperate with the Seller Representative and its representatives in connection with their review. Following the Closing, Purchaser and the Company Group shall not take any action with respect to the accounting books and records on which the Closing Statement is to be based that would intentionally obstruct or prevent the preparation of the Closing Statement and the determinations set forth in this Section 2.12.


ACTIVE 274341277

(i) If, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Closing Statement, the Seller Representative has not given Purchaser notice of its objection to any item in the Closing Statement (an “Objection Notice”), then the Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on Purchaser, the Surviving Company, the Sellers and any other party hereto. Any Objection Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on Working Capital not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(ii) If the Seller Representative delivers an Objection Notice, then Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall consult in good faith to resolve the disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice. During such period Purchaser and its auditors shall have access, following execution of customary non-reliance, confidentiality or similar agreements, to the working papers of the Seller Representative and its auditors prepared in connection with the Objection Notice. If all disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice are resolved in writing by the Seller Representative and Purchaser, then the Closing Statement, as revised to reflect the written resolution of the Seller Representative and Purchaser, shall be final and binding on Purchaser, the Surviving Company, the Sellers and any other party hereto.

(iii) If any disputed items have not been resolved within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Objection Notice, from and after such time either the Seller Representative or Purchaser may submit the remaining disputed items that were properly included in the Objection Notice to Deloitte & Touche LP or, if such firm is unable to serve in such capacity, to such other nationally recognized independent public accountant (or, if none is available, a nationally recognized consulting or valuation firm) that is mutually agreeable to the Seller Representative and Purchaser (or, if the Seller Representative and Purchaser are unable to agree on the choice of such accounting, consulting or valuation firm as applicable, then such firm will be selected by lot, after Seller Representative and Purchaser each submits two proposed firms and then excludes one firm designated by the other party) (the firm actually retained pursuant to this sentence, the “Independent Accountant”) for resolution.

(1) If any items in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (x) Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall use their respective reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to resolve all remaining disagreements (only to the extent such disagreements remain in dispute) with respect to the Closing Statement as soon as practicable but in any event shall direct the Independent Accountant to render a determination within thirty (30) days after its retention, (y) Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant during its engagement and furnish to the Independent Accountant and each other such work papers and other documents and information (subject to customary non-reliance letters, confidentiality agreements or similar agreements that may be requested by third parties) relating solely to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that party (including, in the case of Purchaser, the Company Group or its accountants), and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent


ACTIVE 274341277

Accountant any materials relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Independent Accountant; provided, however, that copies of all such materials are concurrently provided to the other party and that discussions may only occur in the presence (including by telephone) of the other party; provided further, however, that the Independent Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified as being in dispute and were raised in the Closing Statement or the Objection Notice, and (z) the determination by the Independent Accountant of the disputed items in the Closing Statement, as shall be set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Independent Accountant, shall be final and binding on Purchaser, the Surviving Company, the Sellers and any other party hereto on the date the Independent Accountant delivers its final resolution in writing to the Seller Representative and Purchaser. The Independent Accountant shall act as an accounting expert only and not as an arbitrator. Disputes regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to Section 10.9.

(2) The Independent Accountant shall set forth its determination of all issues in a written opinion. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination based solely on presentations by Purchaser and the Seller Representative and not on the basis of independent review. The final judgment of the Independent Accountant may be entered into any court having jurisdiction over the issues addressed in the arbitration.

(3) The parties and the Independent Accountant will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any Person, except to their attorneys, investors and representatives or as may be required by Law or in connection with enforcing the decision of the Independent Accountant, the existence of any dispute, claim or controversy under this Section 2.12, the referral of any such dispute, claim or controversy to the Independent Accountant or the status or resolution thereof.

(4) The fees of the Independent Accountant for such determination shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in proportion to the portion of the aggregate amount in dispute that is finally resolved by the Independent Accountant in a manner adverse to such party. For example, if the Purchaser claims the appropriate line item adjustments are $1,000 (in the aggregate) less than the amount determined by the Seller Representative, and the Seller Representative contests only $500 of the amounts claimed by the Purchaser, and if the Independent Accountant ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Purchaser $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 60% (i.e. 300/500) to the Sellers and 40% (i.e. 200/500) to the Purchaser.

(c) The Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows (without duplication): (i)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which Closing Date Cash and Cash Equivalents, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b) (“Final Cash and Cash


ACTIVE 274341277

Equivalents”) are greater than Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which Final Cash and Cash Equivalents are less than Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents; (ii)(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b) (“Final Working Capital”), is greater than Estimated Working Capital or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which Final Working Capital is less than Estimated Working Capital;; (iii)(A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which Selling Expenses, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b) (“Final Selling Expenses”), is greater than the Estimated Selling Expenses or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which Selling Expenses is less than Estimated Selling Expenses; and (iv)(A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which Closing Date Indebtedness, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b) (“Final Indebtedness”) is greater than Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which Final Indebtedness is less than Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness.

(d) No later than the fifth Business Day following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount:

(i) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, then (1) Purchaser shall pay, or shall cause the Surviving Company to pay, (a) with respect to Tendering Stockholders, an amount in cash for each share equal to the Adjustment Amount Per Share, which amounts shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in such Tendering Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal and (b) with respect to Tendering Optionholders, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the product of (I) the number of Common Shares subject to their In-the-Money Vested Options and (II) the Adjustment Amount Per Share less (y) any required withholding Taxes, which amounts shall be paid through the Surviving Company’s payroll system (with respect to Tendering Optionholders who are employed by the Company Group at the time of such payment) or pursuant to the payment instructions set forth in such Tendering Optionholder’s Option Surrender Form (with respect to Tendering Optionholders who are not employed by the Company Group at the time of such payment) and (2) the Escrow Funds shall be released to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.12(e);

(ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, then (1) Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount of cash equal to the Adjustment Amount from the Escrow Fund, and if (and only to the extent) the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Escrow Fund, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser their Pro Rata Share of such remaining amount and (2) any remaining Escrow Funds shall be released to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.12(e); or

(iii) if the Adjustment Amount is zero, then (1) Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 2.12(d) and (2) the Escrow Funds shall be released to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.12(e).

(e) Any Escrow Funds remaining following the payment to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.12(d)(ii) shall be concurrently released to the Sellers or if no payment is made from the Escrow Funds to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.12(d)(iii), all Escrow Funds shall be immediately released to the Sellers. With respect to the Tendering Stockholders, the Seller Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay the Pro


ACTIVE 274341277

Rata Share of such Tendering Stockholders of the Escrow Funds to such Tendering Stockholders, to the account designated by such Tendering Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal. With respect to the Tendering Optionholders, the Escrow Agent shall pay the aggregate amount, with respect to the Pro Rata Share of such Tendering Optionholders, to the Surviving Company and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Company to pay to such Tendering Optionholders, through the Surviving Company’s payroll system (with respect to Tendering Optionholders who are employed by the Company Group at the time of such payment) or pursuant to the payment instructions set forth in such Tendering Optionholder’s Option Surrender Form (with respect to Tendering Optionholders who are not employed by the Company Group at the time of such payment), such amounts in accordance with their Pro Rata Share less any required withholding Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive source of recovery with respect to any amounts owed pursuant to Section 2.12(d) shall be from the Escrow Fund and neither Purchaser nor the Surviving Company nor any of their respective affiliates have any claim against any Seller in respect thereof with respect to such adjustment following the release of the Escrow Funds, and none of the Sellers, the Seller Representative or any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability for amounts due pursuant to this Section 2.12, except to the extent of the Escrow Funds.

(f) The Adjustment Amount shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Date Merger Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

2.13 Notices to Stockholders; Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Outstanding Common Shares or Outstanding Preferred Shares that are held by a Stockholder who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing or executed an enforceable waiver of appraisal rights to the extent permitted by applicable Law and who shall have properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Final Merger Consideration, or any portion thereof, in respect of such Dissenting Shares. Such Stockholder shall instead be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such share in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that any Dissenting Shares held by a Stockholder who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall, upon delivery to the Paying Agent of a duly executed and completed the Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s), receive payment in accordance with Section 2.16.

(b) At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL.

(c) The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the performance of and enforce the drag rights set forth in Section 3 of the Voting Agreement.

2.14 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Common Stock or Preferred Stock shall thereafter be made. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Sellers, Purchaser, the Company or Merger Sub, the Outstanding Common Shares and Outstanding Preferred Shares shall be cancelled and extinguished, and each certificate or


ACTIVE 274341277

instrument previously representing such Outstanding Common Shares or Outstanding Preferred Shares shall represent only the right to receive its respective portion of the Final Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 2. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Company with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate(s) representing Outstanding Common Shares or Outstanding Preferred Shares, including Dissenting Shares.

2.15 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise, stock transfer, value-added, stamp, recording, registration and other similar taxes, levies and fees (including any penalties, fines and interest), together with any conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar fees and charges, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand. Purchaser shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and remit any such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Law, the parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

2.16 Delivery of Letter of Transmittal from and after the Closing Date; Exchange Procedures.

(a) With respect to each Stockholder who shall not have delivered to the Paying Agent its Exchange Documents prior to the Closing Date but does so after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall direct the Paying Agent to pay to such Stockholder promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days) following such Stockholder’s delivery to the Paying Agent of duly executed and completed Exchange Documents, that portion of the Closing Date Cash Consideration to which such Stockholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon, subject to any subsequent adjustments thereto, had such Letter of Transmittal and Surrendered Certificate(s) been delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, and such Stockholder’s shares shall be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time.

(b) The Paying Agent shall, promptly after receipt of each properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, Surrendered Certificate(s), and any other documents reasonably requested by the Paying Agent (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”) (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such receipt), provide written notice to Purchaser’s transfer agent of the same so as to permit, and Purchaser shall cause, Purchaser’s transfer agent to cause the issuance of the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.8 in uncertificated book-entry form on the transfer books of Purchaser as designated by such Stockholder in its Letter of Transmittal. Until such Exchange Documents have been delivered, each Outstanding Common Share or Outstanding Preferred Share held by the Stockholders will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence only the right to receive, contingent upon such delivery, the amount in cash and the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.8.

(c) Any portion of the Final Merger Consideration which remains undistributed to the Stockholders on the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be delivered to Purchaser, upon demand, and any Stockholder who is not a party to this Agreement and that has not


ACTIVE 274341277

theretofore delivered the applicable Exchange Documents to the Paying Agent, subject to applicable Law, shall thereafter look as a general creditor only to Purchaser for payment of such Stockholder’s entitlement to its applicable portion of the Final Merger Consideration.

(a) The number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that are issuable to a Stockholder as such holder’s portion of the Closing Date Stock Consideration pursuant to this Article 2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued, and if, after aggregating all shares of Purchaser Common Stock (including fractional shares) that would be issued hereunder to a Stockholder as such holder’s portion of the Closing Date Stock Consideration, such aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock includes a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock, no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued hereunder and such holder shall receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) such fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock multiplied by (b) the Purchaser Stock Price.

Nothing in this Section 2.17(b) shall be construed to permit the Parties to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

(c) The shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued as a portion of the Closing Date Stock Consideration pursuant to this Article 2 shall be issued in book entry form and subject to the restrictive legend set forth below:

“NEITHER THE OFFER NOR SALE OF THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

ACTIVE 274341277

Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, such breach, or if the conditions in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 are not capable of being satisfied because there is then a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by Purchaser or Merger Sub in this Agreement;

(c) by the Company, by written notice from the Company to Purchaser, if there has been a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by Purchaser or Merger Sub in this Agreement, such that the conditions in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 are not capable of being satisfied and which breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured by Purchaser prior to the earlier of (i) thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company requesting such breach be cured or (ii) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to the Company if the failure of the Company to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, such breach, or if the conditions in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 are not capable of being satisfied because there is then a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement;

ARTICLE 9

(b) Any claim for indemnification not made by the Person to be indemnified before the termination of the applicable survival period will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived, and the parties hereby agree that the statute of limitations shall be shortened to the applicable survival period; provided, however, that any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any claim to which the Person to be indemnified shall have asserted in good faith and given notice in writing setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor to the indemnifying party in accordance with Section 9.4 before the termination of the applicable survival period so long as formal legal proceedings with respect to such claim have been commenced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within twelve (12) months of the notification of such claim to the indemnifying party.

9.2 Indemnification by the Sellers.

(a) By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, each Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed that, subject to the provisions of this Article 9, from and after Closing, the Sellers, severally and not jointly, proportionately in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share, shall from and after the Closing, indemnify and hold Purchaser and its


ACTIVE 274341277

directors, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates, equityholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses arising from, related to, or in respect of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation of the Company contained herein;

(ii) any inaccuracy in the Allocation Schedule; and

(iii) any breach or failure of the Company to perform Section 5.1 or any covenant or agreement of such Seller contained in this Agreement and required to be performed at or after the Closing.

(b) No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have any claim for any Loss to the extent that such Loss (i) is caused by any action taken by Purchaser, the Company or any other Person (other than the Sellers or the Seller Representative in breach of this Agreement) after the Closing Date, or (ii) would not have arisen but for any action expressly provided for or restricted by this Agreement or the other agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement or which is otherwise taken or not taken at the request of Purchaser.

9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, Purchaser hereby agrees, from and after the Closing, to indemnify and hold the Sellers, the Seller Representative and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates, equityholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller Indemnified Parties the amount of, any Losses directly arising from

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation of Purchaser contained herein; and

(ii) any breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company, Purchaser or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement and required to be performed after the Closing.

(b) No Seller Indemnified Party shall have any claim for any Loss to the extent that such Loss is caused by any action taken by the Sellers or the Seller Representative after the Closing Date in breach of this Agreement.

9.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Subject to Section 9.1, in the event a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) has a claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, promptly after becoming aware of such claim, deliver written notice of such claim to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail the specific claim, the basis therefor and the amount of the Loss, including copies of all material written evidence thereof; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall


ACTIVE 274341277

not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. 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 the amount of the Loss, and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such reasonable information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

(b) Subject to Section 9.1, in the event that any Action shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 (regardless of the limitations set forth in Sections 9.5 and 9.6) (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third-Party Claim (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Third-Party Claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of, involving or otherwise in respect of such Third-Party Claim) within 10 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(i) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its willingness and financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), if the Indemnifying Party so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.4, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof and (ii) it shall be conclusively established for purposes hereof that such Third-Party Claim is within the scope of and subject to indemnification hereunder. Any such participation or assumption shall not constitute a waiver by any party of any attorney- client privilege in connection with such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.4, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying


ACTIVE 274341277

Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of separate counsel if the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with defending such claim or the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that (A) there may be defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different to or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (B) there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available at such times and places as may be reasonably necessary to defend against such Third-Party Claim for the purpose of providing additional information, explanation or testimony in connection with such Third-Party Claim. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9.4 and the Indemnifying Party does not, within 10 Business Days after such notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any settlement, compromise or discharge effected by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third-Party Claim vigorously and diligently to final conclusion or settlement of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and would not have any adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not involve any relief other than monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (iii) completely, finally and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim and would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third-Party Claim) if (i) the Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief or relief other than monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or may otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party or (ii) the Third-Party Claim is a criminal, civil or administrative Proceeding, or relates to such a Proceeding, or the underlying facts or circumstances of which could reasonably be expected to give rise to such a Proceeding or relates to Taxes.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) cause, or agree to, the waiver of the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection in respect of confidential legal memoranda and other privileged


ACTIVE 274341277

materials drafted by, or otherwise reflecting the legal advice of, internal or outside counsel of an Indemnified Party (the “Subject Materials”) relating to such Third Party Claim. Each party hereto mutually acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that (i) each shares a common legal interest in preparing for the defense of legal proceedings, or potential legal proceedings, arising out of, relating to or in respect of any actual or threatened Third-Party Claim or any related claim or counterclaim, (ii) the sharing of Subject Materials will further such common legal interest and (iii) by disclosing any Subject Materials to and/or sharing any Subject Materials with the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not waive the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection. The Indemnified Party shall not be required to make available to the Indemnifying Party any information that is subject to an attorney- client or other applicable legal privilege that based on the advice of outside counsel would be impaired by such disclosure or any confidentiality restriction under applicable Law.

(c) With respect to any notices, responses, consents, approvals or exercise of rights (but for the avoidance of doubt, not obligations to pay money) regarding claims by (i) a Purchaser Indemnified Party, reference in this Agreement to an Indemnifying Party shall mean the Seller Representative and (ii) a Seller Indemnified Party, references in this Agreement to an Indemnified Party shall include the Seller Representative.

9.5 Certain Limits on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligation of each Seller with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations, together will all other indemnification obligations under this Agreement or any Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement, exceed the Final Merger Consideration paid to such Seller.

(b) The Sellers shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party, to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification.

(c) The indemnification obligations of Sellers and Purchaser shall only relate to Losses resulting from facts and circumstances in existence on the Closing Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for Losses and indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article 9 to the extent (i) that any Indemnified Party shall have otherwise been compensated for such matter pursuant to, or the Loss was taken into account under, any other provision of this Agreement, so as to avoid duplication or "double counting" of the same Loss (including to the extent such Loss was including in the calculation of the Closing Date Merger Consideration), or (ii) in the case of the Seller Indemnified Parties, no Seller Indemnified Parties shall be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of Loss that results from any other Seller Indemnified Party’s Fraud or breach of, or non-compliance with, any Related Document.


ACTIVE 274341277

9.6 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article 9 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Loss; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties shall not have any obligation to seek any such insurance recoveries; provided, further, the Indemnified Parties will take commercially reasonable actions to timely and diligently pursue claims for indemnification under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent coverage thereunder is applicable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party hereto shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any Losses that are not legally recoverable under applicable Law as actual breach of contract damages of such other Person.

9.7 Materiality Scrape. For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of any Fundamental Representation contained in Article 3 and Article 4 (and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting therefrom), all qualifications or exceptions therein referring to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “in all material respects” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any defined terms or any Schedule requiring such items to be listed (e.g., Schedule 3.13(a) (Material Contracts)).

9.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article 9 as an adjustment to the Final Merger Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes except as otherwise required by Law after consultation with the other parties.

9.9 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive monetary remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement and the Transactions for any Losses shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9, other than (i) claims with respect to adjustments to be paid out of the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 2.12(d), (ii) claims pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal and the Related Documents, (iii) claims under Section 10.13, and (iv) claims against any particular person for Fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 9.10) shall affect or limit the rights of any party with respect to any insurance policies held by such party.

ARTICLE 10

the Transactions on behalf of the Sellers, (ii) to pay each Seller’s expenses (whether before, on or after the date hereof) incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement, (iii) to the extent applicable, to receive, give receipt of and disburse any funds received hereunder on behalf of or to each Seller, (iv) to hold back from disbursement to all of the Sellers collectively any such funds to the extent Seller Representative reasonably determines may be necessary or required under the terms and conditions of this Agreement or applicable Law or may be required for future expenses or obligations, (v) to execute and deliver on behalf of each Seller all documents contemplated herein, any amendment or waiver hereto, and any consents, in each case, with such modifications or changes as to which the Seller Representative, in its sole discretion, determines is desirable, (vi) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Seller Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the Transactions, (vii) to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Sellers and to enforce and protect the rights and interest of the Seller Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the Related Documents, (viii) to refrain from enforcing any right of Sellers or any of them or the Seller Representative arising out of, under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and Related Documents; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Seller Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Related Documents, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Seller Representative or by such Sellers unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Seller Representative, (ix) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle all disputes with Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Agreement, including disputes regarding any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.12 and any Indemnification Claims made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, (x) to give and receive notices on behalf of the Sellers, including any notice of an indemnification claim for which indemnification is sought by the Sellers pursuant to Article 9 and to provide notice and instructions to the Escrow Agent and to authorize disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account in accordance with this Agreement and (xi) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the Sellers are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Sellers. The Sellers, by accepting the consideration payable to them hereunder, irrevocably grant unto the Seller Representative as said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or required to be done in connection with the Transactions as fully to all intents and purposes as the Sellers might or could do. Such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Seller Representative, and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller and the consummation of the Transactions. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Seller Representative taken, made or given pursuant to the authority granted to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall be conclusive and binding upon each Seller, and no Seller shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are hereby made, and are hereby acknowledged to be, dependent on the determinations and actions that are contemplated or permitted to be made by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 10.1, and the rights of all Sellers shall be qualified by and dependent upon such determinations and actions, irrespective of whether the Seller Representative is acting as an agent or power of attorney of such Seller. All actions,


ACTIVE 274341277

decisions and instructions of Seller Representative shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside this Agreement pursuant to Section 251(b) of the DGCL or under other applicable Law.

(b) All decisions, actions, consents and instructions of the Seller Representative authorized to be made, taken or given pursuant to Section 10.1(a) shall be final and binding upon all the Sellers, and no such Person shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same, except for the Willful Breach or gross negligence of the Seller Representative in connection therewith. Neither the Seller Representative nor any agent employed by the Seller Representative shall incur any liability to any Seller relating to the performance of its duties as authorized hereunder or the failure to act, except for actions or omissions constituting Willful Breach or gross negligence of the Seller Representative in connection therewith. The Seller Representative shall at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the majority (based on Pro Rata Share) of Sellers; provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall not be required to follow any such direction and shall be under no obligation to take any action in its capacity as the Seller Representative based upon any such direction. The Seller Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship or other special relationship with any Seller, except in respect of amounts actually received on behalf of such Person. The relationship created between the Seller Representative and any Seller shall not be construed as a joint venture or any form of partnership for purposes of U.S. federal or state law, including federal or state Tax purposes. The Seller Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement.

(c) The Sellers shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Seller Representative in connection with this Agreement, the Company Documents, and the Escrow Agreement, and Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Seller Representative (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall be responsible to Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties severally (and not jointly and severally) proportionately in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares for any action or inaction of the Seller Representative in its capacity as such under this Agreement, any Company Document, or the Escrow Agreement as if the same were taken or not taken by the Sellers under this Agreement, such Company Document, or the Escrow Agreement). Notices or communications to or from the Seller Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers. The Sellers assign to the Seller Representative the right to pursue claims or other causes of action that may arise in the Sellers’ favor in connection with the Transactions.

(d) In the event that the Seller Representative becomes unable to perform the Seller Representative’s responsibilities or resigns from such position, the Sellers shall, within 10 Business Days of such resignation, removal, or vacancy, select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall (i) be deemed to be the Seller Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and (ii) exercise the rights and powers of, and be entitled to the indemnity, reimbursement and other benefits of, the Seller Representative.

(e) The Sellers agree, severally (and not jointly and severally) based on their Pro Rata Share, to indemnify the Seller Representative for, and to hold the Seller Representative harmless against, any Loss incurred without Willful Breach or gross negligence on the part of the Seller Representative, arising out of or in connection with the Seller Representative’s carrying out


ACTIVE 274341277

its duties under this Section 10.1, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Seller Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. The Seller Representative may consult with counsel of its own choice and will have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The indemnity obligations of this Section 10.1(e) shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Seller Representative or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8.

(f) Each of Purchaser (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties), Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges that the Seller Representative is a party to this Agreement solely for purposes of serving as the “Seller Representative” hereunder and no claim shall be brought by or on behalf of Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Parties or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries, against the Seller Representative with respect to this Agreement or the agreements or Transactions or any certificate, opinion, instrument or other document delivered hereunder (with it being understood that any covenant or agreement of or by the “parties” or “each of the parties” shall not be deemed to require performance by, or be an agreement of, the Seller Representative unless performance by the Seller Representative is expressly provided for in such covenant or the Seller Representative expressly so agrees in writing, but the Seller Representative shall receive the benefit of any provision of the “parties” or “each of the parties” including with respect to the miscellaneous provisions set forth in this Article 10).

(g) At the Effective Time, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative the Seller Representative Expense Fund, to be held in trust to cover and reimburse the fees, expenses and other monetary obligations incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the carrying out by the Seller Representative of its duties under this Section 10.1. Any balance of the Seller Representative Expense Fund not incurred for such purposes shall be returned to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. With respect to the Tendering Stockholders, the Seller Representative shall pay such Seller the portion of the Seller Representative Expense Fund attributable to such Seller with respect to the Pro Rata Share of such Seller, which amount shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in such Seller’s Letter of Transmittal. With respect to Tendering Optionholders, the Seller Representative shall pay the aggregate amount, with respect to the Pro Rata Share of such Optionholders, to the Surviving Company and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Company to pay to such Optionholders, through the Surviving Company’s payroll system (with respect to Optionholders who are employed by the Company Group at the time of such payment) or pursuant to the payment instructions set forth in such holder’s Option Surrender Form (with respect to Optionholders who are not employed by the Company Group at the time of such payment), such amounts in accordance with their Pro Rata Share less any required withholding Taxes. In the event that any amount is owed to the Seller Representative, whether for fees, expense reimbursement or indemnification, that is in excess of the Seller Representative Expense Fund, the Seller Representative shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Sellers proportionately in accordance with each such Person’s Pro Rata Share, and the Sellers agree to so reimburse the Seller Representative. Upon written notice from the Seller Representative to the Sellers as to any such owed amount, including a reasonably detailed description as to such owed amount, the Sellers shall promptly deliver to the Seller Representative full payment of his, her or


ACTIVE 274341277

its Pro Rata Share of such owed amount. The Seller Representative also has the right to recover any amount owed to the Seller Representative from the Escrow Account.

10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and the Related Documents, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (including any letters of intent or term sheets), whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to such subject matter (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents) or any prior course of dealings. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the Transactions exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Related Documents, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Related Documents. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement and the Related Documents embody the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all parties to this Agreement and the Related Documents specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary purchaser and an ordinary seller in an arm’s- length transaction.

10.3 Amendment; No Waiver. This Agreement and the Related Documents may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof or thereof can be waived, only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Related Documents) executed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.4 Severability; Specific Versus General Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, in whole or in part, such term or provision is hereby deemed modified to give effect to the original written intent of the parties to the greatest extent consistent with being valid and enforceable under applicable Law. No party hereto shall assert, and each party shall cause its respective Affiliates or related parties not to assert, that this Agreement or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.


ACTIVE 274341277

10.5 Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with the Transactions shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred such expenses; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all of fees and expenses (i) of the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and (ii) all of the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, and (iii) all of the fees and expenses of the R&W Insurance Policy.

10.6 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement or the Related Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, (b) if delivered by express courier service of national standing for next day delivery (with charges prepaid), on the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier service, (c) if delivered by electronic mail (upon confirmation of successful transmission or appropriate response), on the date of transmission if on a Business Day before 5:00 p.m. local time of the business address of the recipient party (otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day), and (d) if deposited in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, on the date of delivery, in each case to the appropriate addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses as a party may designate by notice to the other parties in accordance with this Section 10.6):

10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format, by facsimile or other agreed format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any Related Document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Related Documents and all Related Claims shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware (including its statute of limitations), without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principles or rules that would cause the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.


ACTIVE 274341277

(a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if no federal court in the State of Delaware accepts jurisdiction, any state court within the State of Delaware) over all Related Claims, and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all Related Claims may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Related Claim brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Related Claim by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (other than by email) along with a notification that service of process is being served in conformance with this Section 10.9(b). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING OR RELATED CLAIM BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS.

10.11 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement and the Related Documents will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, the Related Documents or applicable Law.

10.12 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be made by any party at any time, without the prior written consent of (a) prior to the Closing, the Company and Purchaser and (b) from and after the Closing, the Seller Representative and Purchaser, and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to (a) any Affiliate of Purchaser and (b) lenders and other financing sources of Purchaser and its Affiliates as collateral security; provided, further, however, that, in each case, such assignment shall not release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement and the Company shall have no obligation to pursue remedies against any assignee of Purchaser before proceeding against Purchaser for any breach of its obligations hereunder. Upon Purchaser’s sale, disposition or other transfer, in whole or in part, of the shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or business or assets or properties of, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, the


ACTIVE 274341277

parties (including the Seller Representative) hereby agree that Purchaser may assign, in whole or in part, any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to the purchaser (or its Affiliates) under such transaction without consent.

10.13 Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (i) Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company Group, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction without proof of damages or otherwise and that this shall include the right of the Company Group or Purchaser, as applicable, to cause the other parties hereto to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Laws and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. Remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) waives any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, (B) waives any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief and (C) agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. If any party brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended for so long as the party bringing such Action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement plus five (5) Business Days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall this Section 10.13 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require the Company to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company.

10.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Article 2 (with respect to Sellers), Section 6.2 (with respect to the Indemnities), Article 9 (with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties), Section 10.15 (with respect to the Nonparty Affiliates) and Section 10.18 (with respect to Persons named therein), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. From and after the Closing, all of the Persons identified as third-party beneficiaries in the first sentence of this Section 10.14 shall be entitled to enforce such provisions and to avail themselves of the benefits of any remedy for any breach of such provisions, all to the same extent as if such Persons were parties to this Agreement. This Agreement does not constitute an amendment of any benefit plan and does not impose any obligations on Purchaser under any benefit plan. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement without notice or


ACTIVE 274341277

liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any party hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

10.15 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers and Owners. All Related Claims may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as parties in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability; and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at Law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Contracting Party or otherwise impose liability of a Contracting Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise; and (b) each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement or the Related Documents.

10.16 Release. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, each Seller, on behalf of such Seller and each of such Seller’s current or former Related Persons, and its and their respective successors, heirs and executors (the “Releasing Parties”), shall be deemed to hereby irrevocably and voluntarily release, discharge and forever waive and relinquish all claims, Losses, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions, causes of action and other Actions of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any such party has, may have or might have or may assert, now or in the future (“Claims”), against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective past, present and future directors, officers, trustees, beneficiaries, controlled Affiliates, managers, employees and agents and successors, assigns, heirs and executors (collectively, the “Releasees”), arising out of any Contract, transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, in each case that relate to or arise out of (i) the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) such Releasing Party’s prior relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) such Releasing Party’s rights or status as a direct or indirect equityholder, officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries, in each case, that occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or began before the Closing (the “Released Matters”); provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 10.16 shall release (A) Fraud of any Releasee or (B) any rights or remedies of the Releasing Parties under any of the following: (1) this Agreement or any Related


ACTIVE 274341277

Document, (2) any Contract set forth in Schedule 5.7, (3) the Organizational Documents of any Releasee with respect to exculpation, indemnification and reimbursement of expenses of any Releasing Party in its capacity as a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (4) any Contract entered into by any Releasing Party, on the one hand, and any Releasee, on the other hand, after the Closing, or (5) any Claims in connection with a Releasing Party’s status as a current or former employee or consultant of the Company Groups for (A) reimbursement of expenses, (B) compensation or benefits earned, accrued, accruing, vested, payable or due to a Releasing Party, including any severance benefits payable to the undersigned by the Company Group, (C) any unreimbursed claims incurred by the Releasing Party undersigned the Company Group’s employee health and welfare plans prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of such plans, (D) a Releasing Party’s right to continued participation in the Company Group’s health plan pursuant to the terms and conditions of COBRA or (E) any claims that cannot be released as a matter of law or by private agreement. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, each Seller shall be deemed to hereby represent and warrant to Purchaser that neither it nor its Affiliates has filed, and Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, file or otherwise seek to assert or assist any other Person in filing or otherwise seeking to assert, nor as of the date hereof has, any Claim arising out of or based upon any of the Released Matters against any of the Releasees. Each Seller agrees that if it or any of its Affiliates hereafter commences, joins in, or in any manner seeks relief through any Action arising out of, based upon, or relating to any of the Claims released hereunder, or in any manner asserts against the Releasees any of the Claims released hereunder, including through any motion to reconsider, reopen or appeal the dismissal of the Action, then Seller shall pay to the Releasees against whom such Claim(s) is asserted all Losses incurred by such Releasees in defending or otherwise responding to such Claim.

10.17 Deemed Seller Agreement. Upon delivery of the Written Consent by the Requisite Stockholder Approval and the respective Letters of Transmittal, each Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to each of the provisions of this Agreement that are binding upon, or purport to be binding upon, a Seller, including the provisions of Section 5.2, Section 5.6, Section 5.8, Article 9, or Article 10 (including this Section 10.17).

10.18 Attorney-Client Privilege and Conflict Waiver.

(a) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) acknowledges and agrees that DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper”) has acted as counsel for the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, DLA Piper has not acted as counsel for any other Person, including the Purchaser.

(b) Only the Company (and not the Surviving Company) and its Subsidiaries shall be considered clients of DLA Piper in the Acquisition Engagement. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Company) acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications occurring prior to the Closing between the Sellers, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and DLA Piper, on the other hand, directly related to the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege and attorney work product protection shall be deemed to belong solely to the Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), and not the Company and its


ACTIVE 274341277

Subsidiaries, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by Purchaser or the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries upon or after the Closing. Accordingly, Purchaser shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of DLA Piper directly relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of DLA Piper directly relating to the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Sellers and their Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (ii) DLA Piper shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries or Purchaser by reason of any attorney-client relationship between DLA Piper and the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, DLA Piper shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of the Sellers and their Affiliates; provided, that such representatives, accounts and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney- client communications).

(c) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) acknowledges and agrees that DLA Piper has acted as counsel for one or more of the Sellers, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates for several years and that the Sellers reasonably anticipate that DLA Piper will continue to represent them and/or their Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) expressly (i) consents to DLA Piper’s representation of the Sellers and/or the Seller Representative and/or their Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing Persons so desire) in any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matter regarding a dispute or litigation over the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) consents to the disclosure by DLA Piper to the Sellers or their Affiliates of any information learned by DLA Piper in the course of its representation of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or DLA Piper’s duty of confidentiality.
