(a) Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire the Assets from Seller for an amount (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) equal to the total sum of up to $15,000,000, payable as follows:

(i) $4,875,000 in cash; plus

(ii) such number of shares of Willdan Stock having a value equal to $625,000, calculated based upon the volume weighted average price for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the Closing Date, excluding the Closing Date (the “Purchase Price Shares”); plus

(iii) $3,000,000 in the form of a promissory note fully amortizing over three (3) years at a 4% per annum rate of interest (as more fully described in Section 2.2(c); plus

(iv) up to $6,500,000 (the “Maximum Earn-Out Amount”) payable in cash, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.3.

(b) Closing Purchase Price Distribution. At Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller (i) $4,875,000 in cash, (ii) the Purchase Price Shares; and (iii) the Note (collectively, the “Closing Purchase Price Distribution”).

(c) The Promissory Note. The promissory note (the “Note”) shall be: issued by Buyer in the principal amount of $3,000,000; fully amortizing and payable annually over three (3) years; and bear interest at the rate of 4% interest per annum. The Note will be subordinated to senior indebtedness of WGI and Buyer pursuant to that certain Subordination Agreement dated on or about the date hereof executed by Seller (and acknowledged by WGI and Buyer) in favor of BMO Xxxxxx Bank N.A. (the “Subordination Agreement”), but the Note will

not be subordinated to any other debt of Buyer or WGI, including but not limited to any debt incurred in connection with any subsequent acquisitions by them. WGI will provide a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) to secure such Note, guaranteeing the payment and performance of the Note, subject to the Subordination Agreement. The Note and the Guaranty shall be in the form of Exhibits D and E respectively. Buyer will make all payments when due under the Note to the full extent allowed by the Subordination Agreement. WGI, as guarantor, will make all payments due and owing under the Guaranty to the full extend allowed by the Subordination Agreement.

2.3 Earn-Out Payments.

(a) In addition to the Closing Purchase Price Distribution, Seller shall be eligible to receive earn-out payments (“Earn-Out Payments”), and Buyer and WGI, jointly and severally, guaranty the payment of such Earn-Out Payments, upon achievement of Adjusted EBITDA as follows (it being understood that the aggregate Earn-Out Payment paid to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the Maximum Earn-Out Amount under any circumstances):

(i) Subject to Section 2.3(a)(vi), if Adjusted EBITDA of the 360 Division equals or exceeds $1,375,000 (the “Year 1 Adjusted EBITDA Target”) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of Buyer’s 2015 fiscal year (approximately December 31, 2015) (such period, “Year 1”), the Earn-Out Payment for Year 1 will be equal to the lesser of (A) fifty-five percent (55%) of the actual Adjusted EBITDA for Year 1, and (B) the Maximum Earn-Out Amount, in each case subject to the Earn-Out Holdback (as defined below).

(ii) Subject to Section 2.3(a)(vi), if Adjusted EBITDA of the 360 Division equals or exceeds $2,000,000 (the “Year 2 Adjusted EBITDA Target”) during the period beginning on the first day of Buyer’s 2016 fiscal year (approximately January 1, 2016) and ending on the last day of Buyer’s 2016 fiscal year (approximately December 31, 2016) (such period, “Year 2”), the Earn-Out Payment for Year 2 will be equal to the lesser of (A) fifty-five percent (55%) of the actual Adjusted EBITDA for Year 2, and (B) the Maximum Earn-Out Amount minus any Earn-Out Payment previously received pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), in each case subject to the Earn-Out Holdback.

(iii) Subject to Section 2.3(a)(vi), if Adjusted EBITDA of the 360 Division equals or exceeds $2,500,000 (the “Year 3 Adjusted EBITDA Target”) during the period beginning on the first day of Buyer’s 2017 fiscal year (approximately January 1, 2017) and ending on the last day of Buyer’s 2017 fiscal year (approximately December 31, 2017) (such period, “Year 3”), the Earn-Out Payment for Year 3 shall be equal to the lesser of (A) fifty-five percent (55%) of the actual Adjusted EBITDA for Year 3, and (B) the Maximum Earn-Out Amount minus any Earn-Out Payment previously received pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) and Section 2.3(a)(ii), in all cases subject to the Earn-Out Holdback. In the event that (y) the 360 Division does not achieve the Year 1 Adjusted EBITDA Target, the Year 2 Adjusted EBITDA Target and/or the Year 3 Adjusted EBITDA Target, and (z) less than the Maximum Earn-Out Amount has been paid pursuant to Sections 2.3(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), if the cumulative Adjusted EBITDA

for the Earn-Out Period equals or exceeds $5,875,000 (the “Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Target”), an Earn-Out Payment shall be made after Year 3 equal to the lesser of (1) fifty-five percent (55%) of the actual cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 minus any Earn-Out Payment(s) previously received pursuant to Sections 2.3(a)(i), 2.3(a)(ii) and 2.3(a)(iii), and (2) the Maximum Earn-Out Amount minus any Earn-Out Payment(s) previously received pursuant to Sections 2.3(a)(i), 2.3(a)(ii) and 2.3(a)(iii), in all cases subject to the Earn-Out Holdback. For avoidance of doubt, the actual Adjusted EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period, including any negative amounts, shall be used in calculating the cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period.

(iv) If any Earn-Out Payments are earned and to be paid for Year 1 or Year 2, then Buyer will place the first $275,000 for Year 1 and $400,000 for Year 2 into escrow with the Escrow Agent in accordance with an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, (the “Earn-Out Holdback”) and the remainder of such Earn-Out Payment in each year, if any, will be paid to Seller. If the cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period is less than the Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Target ($5,875,000), then Buyer will be entitled to receive the entire Earn-Out Holdback from such escrow account, plus any interest accrued thereon, if any. If the cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the Earn-Out Period equals or exceeds the Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Target ($5,875,000), then Seller shall receive the entire Earn-Out Holdback, plus any interest accrued thereon, if any, from such escrow account. No other claw back of any Earn-Out Payments will be made by Buyer, except pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(iv). The “Escrow Agent” shall be a bank or trust company mutually selected by Buyer and Seller within at least one month prior to the expiration of Year 1 of the Earn-Out Period.

(v) The 360 Division shall be entitled to utilize WGI’s corporate services in connection with the operation of the 360 Division (a representative list of such corporate services is set forth in Exhibit C), which corporate services will be reasonably and timely performed for the 360 Division in accordance with WGI’s practice and procedures generally. Such corporate overhead expenses shall be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, and the 360 Division shall be charged one percent (1%) of the gross revenue generated by the 360 Division for utilizing such corporate services (the “General Overhead Rate”); provided however, in the event Buyer desires to make a referral of business to the 360 Division (“Referral Business”), the 360 Division and Buyer will work together in good faith to determine the appropriate overhead rate for such Referral Business on a case-by-case basis (the “Referral Overhead Rate”), which Referral Overhead Rate is subject to the approval of the Buyer and the 360 Division (based on the approval of the 360 Principals). The General Overhead Rate or the Referral Overhead Rate, as applicable, will be the “360 Division Overhead Rate”, and the 360 Division Overhead Rate shall be calculated into Adjusted EBITDA.

(vi) If Seller has not achieved the Year 1 Adjusted EBITDA Target by the end of Year 1, the Year 2 Adjusted EBITDA Target by the end of Year 2, or the Year 3 Adjusted EBITDA Target by the end of Year 3, then Seller may, one time only, at its election, extend the period of calculation for either Year 1, Year 2 or Year 3 by 15 days

until January 15 of the next calendar year, and Adjusted EBITDA for the period from January 1, 2018 through January 15, of such next calendar year shall be included in determining whether Seller has met or exceeded the Year 1 Adjusted EBITDA Target, the Year 2 Adjusted EBITDA Target, or the Year 3 Adjusted EBITDA Target, as applicable (and also, for purposes of determining whether the Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Target has been met at the end of the Earn-Out Period). Such extension will not have the effect of shortening the next period of calculation (if applicable) during the Earn-Out Period. By way of example, if Seller elected to extend Year 1, Adjusted EBITDA from the period for January 1, 2016 through January 15, 2016 would be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for both Year 1 and Year 2.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the end of each of Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 (but no later than one hundred and five (105) days after the last day of each fiscal year), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA for such year and, after Year 3 only, the cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 collectively (in each case, the “Adjusted EBITDA Statement”). Buyer shall, and shall cause its representatives (including outside auditors) to, make available to Seller, at Seller’s expense (without charge for Buyer’s or WGI’s costs) during normal business hours and following reasonable advance notice, the books, records, work papers, and personnel used or involved in the preparation of each Adjusted EBITDA Statement. If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s calculation any Adjusted EBITDA Statement delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), Seller may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Adjusted EBITDA Statement, deliver a notice to Buyer disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth the Seller’s calculation of such amount. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees. If Seller’s ability to review the books, records, work papers, and personnel used or involved in preparation of the Adjusted EBITDA Statements is delayed, then the 30-day period previously mentioned shall be adjusted by adding the number of days between the receipt of the Adjusted EBITDA Statement by Seller and the date upon which the books, records, work papers, and personnel used or involved are made available to Seller. If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Seller and Buyer shall, during the ten (10) days after such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the Adjusted EBITDA or cumulative Adjusted EBITDA, whichever is applicable, which amount shall not be more than the amount thereof shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(b). If following such 10-day period, Seller and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter (and in any event within twenty (20) days of the end of such 10-day period) cause a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to them (the “Accounting Referee”) to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Adjusted EBITDA (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Seller and Buyer as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon Seller and Buyer. The cost of such review shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, and Buyer shall cause the Entity operating the 360 Division and its respective representatives (including outside auditors) to, cooperate and assist in the determination of the Adjusted EBITDA and in the conduct of the

review set forth in this Section 2.3(b), including making available, to the extent necessary, books, records, work papers and personnel during normal business hours and following reasonable advance notice.

(c) Each Earn-Out Payment that is earned by Seller in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall be paid by Buyer to Seller within the later of: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of the applicable Year 1, Year 2 or Year 3, and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Year 1, Year 2 or Year 3 has been conclusively determined in accordance with Section 2.3(b) above. The remaining Earn-Out Payment shall be paid in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts Seller has designated in writing to the Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to such payment date.

2.4 Allocation to Purchase Price. The Closing Purchase Price Distribution shall be allocated to the Assets in the manner set forth on Schedule 2.4 attached hereto. The Parties agree that they shall both, on any Tax Returns they file that refer to or include this transaction, report this transaction with the allocation set forth on Schedule 2.4.

2.5 The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Assets (the “Closing”) shall take place simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) “virtually” at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 0000 X. Xxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 by means of the electronic exchange of signature pages by fax or email with originals to follow promptly thereafter. The consummation of the Transactions shall be deemed to occur at 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date.

2.6 Closing Deliveries by Seller. At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer:

(a) Xxxx of Sale, Assignment, and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit G attached to the Agreement.

(b) The Financial Statements of the Business (the “Closing Financial Statements”), and the written consent of the independent accountants that provided the audit opinion(s) to the Financial Statements and the Closing Financial Statements allowing WGI and its independent auditors to utilize the Financial Statements and the Closing Financial Statements in the preparation and filing of WGI’s SEC Reports.

(d) Employment agreements executed by Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx XxXxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, in the forms attached as Exhibits H, I and J hereto.

2.7 Closing Deliveries by Buyer and WGI. At the Closing, against delivery of the Assets, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller:

(i) $4,875,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to account(s) and in amount(s) designated in writing by Seller two (2) Business Days in advance of the Closing Date.

(ii) The Note.

(iii) The Purchase Price Shares.

(iv) Evidence acceptable to Seller of the Prior Acts Coverage.

2.8 Tax Consequences. Seller has reviewed with its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Transactions and is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Buyer or any of its agents. Seller understands and hereby acknowledges that the Transactions will be fully taxable transactions to them and that a portion of any amounts received after the Closing Date will be treated as interest income for Tax purposes. Seller understands and hereby acknowledges that Seller (and not Buyer) shall be responsible for its own Tax liability that will arise as a result the Transactions.

2.9 No Liabilities. Except for any obligations expressly incurred by Buyer under the Assigned Contracts (and solely insofar as they arise from events occurring after the Closing Date) and those obligations identified in Schedule 2.9 (the “Assumed Liabilities”), Buyer does not assume any Liabilities of Seller of any kind, whether known or unknown, contingent, matured or otherwise, whether currently existing or hereinafter created, and whether relating to the Assets, the Assigned Contracts, the Assigned Name or otherwise.

2.10 Consents to Certain Assignments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Transactional Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Transactional Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign any asset, contract, permit, claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the Approval of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention under any contract, agreement or Law to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound unless and until such Approval shall be given. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain any Approvals required to assign to the Buyer any Asset that requires the Approval of a third party (including attempting to obtain all Approvals set forth on Schedule 3.8(a)), without any changes or modifications of terms thereunder as promptly as reasonably practicable, and within forty-five (45) days after the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, within two business days after the Closing, Seller shall contact each of Seller’s clients to obtain a written consent to the assignment by Seller to Buyer of the Assigned Contracts as contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall cooperate and use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in giving such notices and obtaining such Approvals; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to give any guarantee or other consideration of any nature in connection with any such notice or Approval or to consent to any change in the terms of any agreement or arrangement. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other and take such other actions as may be reasonably required to expeditiously obtain all such Approvals contemplated by this section.

(b) If any such Approvals are not obtained prior to the Closing or are not obtained after the Closing (including within such 45 day time period specified above), and as a result thereof the Buyer shall be prevented by such third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to such Asset intended to be transferred hereunder, then such failure to receive such Approvals shall not be a breach of this Agreement (and shall not give rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder by the Buyer Indemnified Parties), and the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement as the Seller and the Buyer shall agree, under which the Buyer would, to the extent practicable, obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such Asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the Buyer (it being agreed that the inability of Seller and Buyer to enter into such arrangements shall not give rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, and any cancellation of an Assigned Contract or any Claim made by a third party as a result of the Buyer and the Seller entering into any such arrangements after the Closing shall not give rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder by the Buyer Indemnified Parties). The Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer when received all monies received by the Seller with respect to any such Asset(s) or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder and the Buyer shall promptly pay the Seller for, or otherwise satisfy, all corresponding Liabilities for the enjoyment of such claim, right or benefit to the extent the Buyer would have been responsible therefor hereunder if such Approvals as described herein had been obtained. With respect to any Contracts that are subcontracted, sublicensed or subleased to the Seller (if any) (the “Subcontracted Work”), then for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the receipt of the applicable required Approval, Buyer agrees to diligently perform and discharge the obligations of Seller in connection with the Subcontracted Work and with respect to such Contract, directly or indirectly, as applicable, through Seller. As of the date hereof, Buyer has requested and Seller has agreed to subcontract its rights and obligations under that certain Energy Performance Contract dated as of April 28, 2014 between Seller and Xxxxxx County (as may be amended from time to time, together with all exhibits schedules and addenda, as may be amended, the “Xxxxxx County Contract”) to Buyer and will do so pursuant to a subcontract agreement in customary and reasonable form acceptable to the Parties. In addition, after the Closing, Buyer and Seller may, if agreed by the Parties, enter into an Employee Leasing Agreement (the “Employee Leasing Agreement”) whereby, after the Closing Date, Buyer will lease the services of the Continuing Employees to Seller so that Seller may perform, on a case-by-case basis approved by Buyer and Seller, certain work under contracts (including under certain contracts for which Approvals have not yet been obtained or for which Buyer requests (and Seller agrees) that Seller complete the existing work under the current contract, rather than such contract being assigned by Buyer to Seller) relating to the Business (collectively, “Leased Employment Work”).

The inclusion of any item on the Disclosure Schedules shall not constitute an admission by Seller that such item is or is not material. Certain matters and items disclosed in any Schedule may not be required to be disclosed therein, but may be disclosed therein for informational purposes only, and no such disclosure shall constitute an indication or admission of the materiality thereof or create a standard of disclosure.

The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any of the Schedules or Exhibits is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material and the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in any of the Schedules or Exhibits shall not be used in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any of the Schedules or Exhibit is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

6.1 Preservation of Records. After the Closing Date, upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide copies of such Books and Records to Buyer as Buyer shall request; provided, that Seller shall be permitted to retain copies of such Books and Records for purposes of fulfilling the obligations set forth in Section 6.2. Buyer agrees that it shall preserve and keep such Books and Records provided by Seller to Buyer for a period of ten (10) years from the Closing Date. During such ten (10) year period, Buyer will give Seller reasonable access during Buyer’s regular business hours, upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances, subject to restrictions under applicable Law, to such Books and Records of Seller transferred to Buyer (including originals of the same) to the extent necessary for the preparation of financial statements, regulatory filings or Tax Returns of Seller or its Affiliates in respect of periods ending on or prior to Closing, or in connection with any insurance claims, legal proceedings, Tax audits or governmental investigations or in order to enable Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby and thereby. Seller shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain copies of and/or make additional copies of the Books and Records to which Seller is entitled to access pursuant to this Section 6.1. If any such Books and Records of Seller relate to a Claim brought by a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2 and such Claim is unresolved at the end of ten (10) years from the Closing Date, then such Books and Records relating to such unresolved Claim may not be destroyed until the resolution of such Claim.

any of its Affiliates under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. At Buyer’s request, such cooperation and assistance shall include, but not be limited to, making available such financial information with respect to Seller as may be reasonably required in connection with such filing, registration statement or report (to the extent such financial information is available to Seller), including using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate Buyer’s access to the independent accountants that issued the audit reports for Seller’s Financial Statements and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such independent accountants for the filing of their audit report(s) with respect to the Financial Statements in any filings, registration statements or reports of Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The cost of preparation of any such required financial information and consents shall be borne by Buyer.

6.3 Reserved.

6.4 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Restrictions on Competitive Activities. Seller agrees that, after the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to the goodwill and going concern value of the Business and to protect and preserve the same to the maximum extent permitted by Law. Seller also acknowledges that Seller’s management contributions to the Business have been uniquely valuable and involve proprietary information that would be competitively unfair to make available to any competitor of Seller. For these and other reasons and as an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller agrees that for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller will not, directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or as agent for another, carry on or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or the financing of, or be employed by, or consult for or otherwise render services or advice to, or allow its name or reputation to be used in or by, any other present or future business enterprise that competes with Buyer in activities in which Seller was engaged as of the Closing Date in any of the business territories in which Seller was conducting business or was actively engaged in the pursuit of business or had conducted business within the prior five (5) years (the “Covered Area”).

(b) Restrictions on Soliciting Customers. Seller agrees that during the Restricted Period, Seller will not, directly or indirectly (i) induce, entice, or solicit any client or customer of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any contractual or business relationship with Buyer or the Business, or (ii) in any other manner use any client or customer lists or client or customer leads, mail, telephone numbers, client preferences, or printed material of Buyer to the detriment of Buyer.

(c) Restrictions on Soliciting Employees. In addition to the foregoing covenants, to protect Buyer against any efforts by Seller to cause Buyer’s employees to terminate employment, Seller agrees that during the Restricted Period, Seller will not, directly or indirectly, other than the termination of Seller’s employees prior to Closing for the purpose of becoming employed by Buyer, (i) induce, entice or solicit any employee of the Business to leave or to accept any other employment or position, or (ii) make referrals to, or otherwise assist, any other Entity in hiring any such employee; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit

general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward Continuing Employees or the hiring of such employees in response thereto, nor the hiring, employment or engagement of any Continuing Employee who presents himself or herself for employment without direct or indirect solicitation by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

(d) Exceptions. Nothing contained herein shall limit the right of Seller as an investor to hold and make investments in securities of any corporation or limited partnership that is registered on a national securities exchange or admitted to trading privileges thereon or actively traded in a generally recognized over-the-counter market, provided Seller’s equity interest therein does not exceed one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding shares or interests in such corporation or partnership. In addition, Seller will, in connection with the Closing, enter into the Employee Leasing Agreement with Buyer. The Parties agree that the execution, delivery and performance of the Employee Leasing Agreement is for the benefit of both Parties, and will not cause a breach of this Section 6.4 or give right to a claim for indemnity hereunder.

(e) Special Remedies and Enforcement. Seller recognizes and agrees that a breach by Seller of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 6.4 could cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that Buyer’s remedies at Law in the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach a restraining order or injunction or both may be issued against Seller, in addition to any other rights and remedies which are available to Buyer. If this Section 6.4 is more restrictive than permitted by the Laws of the jurisdiction in which Buyer seeks enforcement hereof, this Section 6.4 shall be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement under such Laws.

(f) Severability. The Parties intend that the covenants contained in Sections 6.4(a)-(c) hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state, nation, and other political subdivision. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed otherwise identical in terms. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed eliminated from this Section 6.4 for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced by such court. It is the intent of the Parties that the covenants set forth in this Agreement be enforced to the maximum degree permitted by applicable Law.

(g) Representations of Seller. Seller represents that: (i) Seller is familiar with the covenants set forth in this Agreement; (ii) Seller is fully aware of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these covenants; (iii) Seller is receiving specific, bargained-for consideration for Seller’s covenants not to compete and not to solicit; and (iv) execution of this Agreement, and performance of Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.4, will not conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any other agreement to which the Seller is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Seller is subject.

(h) Reasonableness of Terms. Seller acknowledges that the length, scope of activity and geographic coverage to which the restrictions imposed in Sections 6.4(a)-(c) hereof shall apply are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of Buyer and its

Subsidiaries, including but not limited to protecting confidential, proprietary and trade secret information, the stable workforce maintained by Buyer and its Subsidiaries, the relationships Buyer and its Subsidiaries maintain with their customers, and the goodwill in Buyer and its Subsidiaries acquired by Buyer. Seller further acknowledges that Buyer currently does business, is actively engaged in the pursuit of business or has conducted business within the prior five (5) years in the Covered Area.

(i) Termination of Restricted Period. In the event, pursuant to Section 6.7(c), Buyer (A) sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division, or enters into a business combination or sale or divestiture transaction relating to Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division (whether a stock sale, asset sale, merger, recapitalization or similar transaction), or (B) liquidates or dissolves any entity in which Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division is being operated, then the Restricted Period will be revised to be the effective date of such event, and the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6.4 shall terminate as of such date.

6.5 Professional Liability Insurance. Buyer and WGI, jointly and severally, will provide Seller, at Closing and at Seller’s cost, appropriate prior acts professional liability coverage under Buyer’s or WGI’s existing professional liability policies for a period of five years subsequent to the Closing Date (“Prior Acts Coverage”) for a one-time cost of $8,500. Seller will reimburse Buyer $8,500 promptly after the Closing.

6.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Buyer with full right, title and possession to all the Assets of Seller, the officers and directors of Buyer are fully authorized in the name of Buyer or otherwise to take, and will take, all such actions at Buyer’s expense.

6.7 Operation of the 360 Division.

(a) During the Earn-Out Period:

(i) Buyer shall maintain separate accounting for the 360 Division and shall prepare and provide the 360 Principals with access to separate financial statements for the 360 Division so that Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated.

(ii) Buyer shall provide the 360 Division with financial resources and other support in a manner consistent with Buyer’s past practices in providing financial resources and other support to Buyer’s Subsidiaries.

(iii) Buyer will not distribute leads for performance contracting opportunities that arise from Buyer’s relationships in a way that will actively hinder Seller from achieving Adjusted EBITDA targets or the Earn-Out Payments, subject to Seller’s acknowledgement that Buyer’s determinations on the distribution of leads will be made on the basis of Buyer’s good faith determination on what is in the best interest of Buyer on a corporate wide basis. Buyer’s determination in distributing leads will take into consideration (i) the experience, expertise, and capabilities of Seller’s equity owners and the employees of the 360 Division when compared to Buyer’s or WGI’s other

businesses, and (ii) the relative geographic proximity of the 360 Division offices when compared with other Buyer or WGI businesses. Projects performed by the 360 Division will be included in the 360 Division’s Adjusted EBITDA. Seller further acknowledges that some projects may require teams of multiple groups within WGI (including the participation of the 360 Division and Other Enterprises) and that such projects (and associated revenues and expenses for such projects) may be apportioned according to participation in such projects (“Shared Projects”). During the Earn-Out Period, the 360 Division and Buyer will work together in good faith to determine in advance of beginning a Shared Project, on a case-by-case basis, the appropriate allocation of revenues and expenses to be allocated to the 360 Division and to the Other Enterprises with respect to such Shared Project, which allocations will be utilized in connection with calculating Adjusted EBITDA for the 360 Division with respect to such Shared Project.

(iv) Subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned), the 360 Principals will have the discretion to fix and change, from time to time, the salaries and compensation structure of all employees of the 360 Division (which compensation will be taken into account for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA), including maintaining the same or similar salaries and performance bonus programs currently utilized by Buyer, in the discretion of the 360 Principals, including implementing, changing and or otherwise making decisions with respect to the 360 Division Profit Plan (as defined in Section 7.1). All such compensation matters shall be shall be reflected in Seller’s Earnout calculations.

(b) Buyer intends to rapidly develop and grow a performance contracting business in the field of energy efficiency (“Buyer’s PC Business”) both organically and through acquisition in selected geographies. In that effort, Seller acknowledges that Buyer is pursuing other acquisitions concurrently with the acquisition contemplated in this Agreement. Buyer views the acquisition contemplated by this Agreement to be important to Buyer’s strategy. Accordingly, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer intends to rely on the leadership and experience of the 360 Principals in the development of Buyer’s PC Business. Through the Earn-Out Period, Buyer and the 360 Principals will collaborate on and engage in complete discussions regarding the setting and implementation of strategies for, and the pursuit, procurement, and performance of Buyer’s PC Business in order to pursue such goals. Collaboration shall include the 360 Principals providing meaningful input on any new acquisition targets or strategic partnerships with performance contracting companies initiated after the Closing. It is the further intent of the Parties that the 360 Principals will not be required to use more than ten percent (10%) of their time as employees of the 360 Division in training and implementation of performing sales, executing client contracts and providing quality assurance and quality control.

(c) If Buyer (A) sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division, or enters into a business combination or sale or divestiture transaction relating to Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division (whether a stock sale, asset sale, merger, recapitalization or similar transaction), or (B) liquidates or dissolves any entity in which Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division is being operated, then Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount from Buyer equal to (i) the Maximum Earn-Out Amount, less (ii) any Earn-Out Payments previously received by Seller from Buyer. Such amount shall become immediately due and payable and shall be paid in lieu of the Earn-Out Payments (or any remaining Earn-Out

Payments). To the extent not paid when due, such amounts shall bear interest from and including the date such payment was due to the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) eight percent (8%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Buyer’s PC Business or the 360 Division if the 360 Division has incurred losses for three (3) successive quarters.

ARTICLE VII
EMPLOYEE MATTERS

7.1 Health and Benefit Plans.

(a) Seller agrees, at Closing, to terminate all of the Continuing Employees and Buyer agrees, at Closing, to offer employment to all of the Continuing Employees. In addition, in connection with the employment of such Continuing Employees, Buyer agrees that, during the Earn-Out Period, Continuing Employees will be paid a salary and other monetary compensation as a result of such employment that is at least identical to that paid to them by Seller prior to Closing, except that Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any bonuses to the Continuing Employees on the basis of their 2014 employment by Seller. It is further understood that such compensation shall be included as 360 Division expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for the Earn-Out. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Continuing Employees as listed on Schedule 3.19(a) (provided such Continuing Employees are employed by Seller on the Closing Date) shall be covered as of the Closing Date by the employee benefit plans, programs, and policies established or maintained by Buyer applicable to similarly situated employees of Buyer (the “Buyer’s Plans”). After the transition to the Buyer’s Plans, Buyer agrees to maintain availability of coverage under the Buyer’s Plans for Continuing Employees (so long as such Continuing Employee is employed by Buyer) on the same basis and terms and conditions as for similarly situated employees of Buyer. Nothing contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this ARTICLE VII) shall (i) amend, or be deemed to amend, any of Buyer’s Plans, (ii) provide any person not a party to this Agreement with any right, benefit or remedy with regard to any of Buyer’s Plans or a right to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or (iii) limit in any way Buyer’s ability to amend or terminate any of Buyer’s Plans, at any time.

(b) Buyer shall cause each group health plan of Buyer or, with respect to an insured plan, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the insurer, to waive any pre-existing condition exclusions thereunder with respect to the Continuing Employees and their covered beneficiaries to the extent that such Continuing Employees are enrolled in the applicable group health plan of Seller as of the Closing Date.

(c) For purposes of this ARTICLE VII, Continuing Employees shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and for vesting and benefit accruals under Buyer’s Plans for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Closing Date with Seller; provided, however, that such prior service credit shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. Upon termination by Seller, Buyer shall assume the liability to each such Continuing Employee for their post-Closing accrued yet unpaid vacation time, sick leave or paid time off.

(d) The 360 Principals will have the discretion to cause the 360 Division to implement (and to change from time to time), a bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”) equal to not more than twenty percent (20%) of the profits of the 360 Division (the “360 Division Profit Plan”). From time to time, the 360 Principals may distribute the Bonus Pool to employees of the 360 Division (which will be distributed to such employees at such times and in such amounts as determined by the 360 Principals with Buyer’s review and prior approval); provided however, the 360 Principals shall not be entitled to receive more than 20% of the total Bonus Pool distributions made on each occasion. Buyer will cooperate with and assist the 360 Principals in implementing and operating the 360 Division Profit Plan. Any such distribution shall reduce such employee’s participation in Buyer’s bonus programs. The amount of any Bonus Pool distributions will reduce the Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and all reasonable expenses related to implementing and maintaining the 360 Division Profit Plan shall be included in determining Adjusted EBITDA for the period during which such expenses were incurred by Buyer.

7.2 Mutual Cooperation. Seller and Buyer agree, in a complete, diligent and timely manner, to exchange such employee census, actuarial or other data as shall be reasonably necessary to calculate benefits under any plan and to take any and all actions as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the provisions of this ARTICLE VII.

7.3 Third-Party Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon any Person, other than the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies by reason of this ARTICLE VII.

ARTICLE VIII

Any information obtained under this Section 8.1 shall be kept confidential except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

9.1 Obligations of Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 9.4, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its directors, officers, agents, representatives and Affiliates and their successors and assigns

(the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from (i) the breach of any representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (other than Seller’s Specified Representations), (ii) the breach of any of Seller’s Specified Representations, (iii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in this Agreement, (iv) any Liabilities of Seller other than the Assumed Liabilities; and (v) all Taxes of the Seller and the Business for any Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date or any portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date.

(b) Subject to Section 9.4, Buyer and WGI, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its directors, members (and spouses of members), partners, officers, agents, representatives, heirs, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or WGI contained in this Agreement (other than Buyer’s Specified Representations), (ii) the breach of any of Buyer’s Specified Representations, (iii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer contained in this Agreement, (iv) any Assumed Liabilities, (v) any Liability or Claim arising out of or relating to occurrences of any nature relating to the conduct of the Business after the Closing Date or Buyer’s ownership or usage of any of the Assets in Buyer’s operations after the Closing Date, (vi) any Liability or Claim arising out of or relating to occurrences of any nature relating to any Subcontracted Work, Leased Employment Work (including but not limited to any Subcontracted Work or Leased Employment Work related to the Xxxxxx County Contract), or any other similar arrangement entered into in connection with Section 2.10(b) hereof, and (vii) any Liability or Claim relating to or arising out of (A) that certain General Agreement of Indemnity dated as of June 23, 2014 between Seller, the 360 Principals and their spouses in favor of the Old Republic Surety Company (and affiliates), and (B) that certain General Contract of Indemnity dated as of February 21, 2014 between Seller, the 360 Principals and their spouses in favor of Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (and affiliates).

9.2 Procedure. An Indemnified Party shall give the Person who may be responsible for indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any matter which an Indemnified Party has determined has given rise to, or has received a written notice of, a bona fide Claim (a “Claim”) between Parties or of a third party that could give rise to, a Loss under this Agreement, as promptly as possible, but in any event within thirty (30) days of such determination; provided, however, that any failure of the Indemnified Party to provide such Claim Notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall provide the assertion of any Claim in reasonable detail, including specific identification of the obligation to indemnify under Section 9.1 (including a section reference to the breached representation or covenant, if applicable) and a good faith estimate of the Losses being claimed. Upon receipt of the Claim Notice related to a third-party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of such Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest in the reasonable

judgment of the Indemnified Party, after consultation with counsel, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is necessary, at its own expense. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such third-party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such third-party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a third-party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any Liability with respect to, settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a third-party Claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a third-party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably recommend and that by its terms (a) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Losses in connection with such Claim, (b) releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates completely in connection with such Claim and (c) such settlement, compromise or discharge does not impose any injunctive relief or operational restrictions on the Indemnified Party or admit to any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim.

9.3 Survival.

(a) Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Authority of Seller; Enforceability), 3.2 (Ownership of Assets; Authority to Assign Contracts) and 3.31 (No Brokers), shall survive the Closing indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 3.11 (Taxes) and any representation in the case of fraud shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period plus sixty (60) days (each representation and warranty set forth in subsections (i) and (ii), a “Seller’s Specified Representation”), (iii) the representations and warranties in Section 3.20 (Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA) shall survive the Closing for two (2) years from the Closing Date, and (iv) the representations and warranties in Section 3.23 (Environmental Matters) shall survive for five (5) years following the Closing Date.

(b) The representations and warranties of Buyer and WGI contained in this Agreement shall survive for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Authority of Buyer; Enforceability), Section 4.4 (No Brokers) and Section 5.1 (Organization and Authority of WGI; Enforceability) shall survive the Closing indefinitely, and (ii) any representation in the case of fraud shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period plus sixty (60) days (each representation and warranty set forth in subsections (i) and (ii), a “Buyer’s Specified Representation”).

(c) No Claim may be asserted against a party for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, unless written notice of such Claim is received by such party, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim (based on the reasonable knowledge or belief of the party making such Claim as of such date) on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty or covenant on which such Claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.3, in which case such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive solely as to such Claim until such Claim has been finally resolved. Any matter as to which a Claim has been asserted by notice to the other Party that is pending or unresolved at the end of any applicable limitation period shall continue to be covered by this ARTICLE IX notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations (which the Parties hereby waive) until such matter is finally terminated or otherwise resolved by the Parties under this Agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction and any amounts payable hereunder are finally determined and paid.

(d) All of the covenants made by each Party in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Transactions until the time specified in each such covenant.

9.4 Limitation on Indemnification.

(a) Seller shall not have any liability to any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to Losses arising out of any of the matters referred to in Section 9.1(a)(i) until such time as the amount of all such Losses shall collectively exceed $100,000 (the “Seller’s Deductible”) (after which point Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in excess of Seller’s Deductible).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) shall be $3,000,000 (the “Cap”), and (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) shall be equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price received by Seller.

(b) Buyer shall not have any liability to any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to Losses arising out of any of the matters referred to in Section 9.1(b)(i) until such time as the amount of all such Losses shall collectively exceed $100,000 (the “Buyer’s Deductible”) (after which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in excess of Buyer’s Deductible).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Buyer by the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) shall be equal to the Cap, (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Buyer by the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) shall be equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price received by Seller, and (iii) the Cap shall not apply to Claims in respect of the breach by Seller of Seller’s Specified Representations, or any covenants in Sections 6.1 through 6.7, for which Claims the aggregate dollar amount of all payments Seller shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Article IX shall be equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price received by Seller

(d) A Party may not assert a claim for indemnification based on a breach by the other Party of a representation, warranty, or covenant if the Indemnified Party had actual knowledge or should have had knowledge of such breach before the Closing.

(e) Any entitlement of any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party to make a claim under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such claim constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant.

(f) The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Claim, Liability or Loss for which indemnification may be required hereunder, including by making, or causing the applicable Indemnified Party to make, all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any such Claim, Liability or Loss (which efforts may include availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity). No Party shall have any obligation to indemnify the other Party for any Losses to the extent they are caused, contributed to or exacerbated by the actions or failure to act of the Buyer Indemnified Parties (in the case of Seller’s indemnification obligations) or Seller Indemnified Parties (in the case of Buyer’s and WGI’s indemnification obligations). The Buyer, the Seller, and WGI shall, or shall cause the applicable Indemnified Party to, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

9.5 Exclusive Remedy. OTHER THAN RIGHTS TO EQUITABLE RELIEF PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.4 OR CLAIMS FOR FRAUD TO THE EXTENT AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER AND EACH OF THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OF SELLER, AND BUYER AND WGI, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND EACH OF THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OF BUYER, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OR INACCURACY, OR ALLEGED BREACH OR INACCURACY, OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, SHALL BE INDEMNIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARTICLE IX.

9.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Buyer agree to treat all payments made by any of them to or for the benefit of the other under this ARTICLE IX as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof.

9.7 Offset. Provided that an indemnification Claim has been made in good faith and the amount of such Claim has been calculated in good faith, and upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis for any such set off, Buyer may set off any indemnification Claim amount to which it may be entitled under this Article IX against amounts otherwise payable to Seller under the Note or the Earn-Out, if earned, set forth in Sections 2.2(a)(iii) and 2.3, respectively. To the extent Buyer has made a Claim for indemnification before a payment is due under the Note or in accordance with the terms of the Earn-Out, and such Claim is not resolved, Buyer shall be permitted to withhold from such payment, and any subsequent payments, until such Claim is resolved, a reasonable amount as a reserve to cover the potential indemnification obligations of Seller with respect to such Claim, and any amounts due and owing in excess of such reserve shall be promptly paid to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Note. Any amounts withheld by Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.7, other than amounts otherwise owed by Seller to satisfy Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, shall be promptly released to Seller following the resolution of any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Buyer’s right to offset under this Section 9.7 is not Buyer’s exclusive remedy, and (ii) neither the exercise nor non-exercise of Buyer’s rights to offset under this Section 9.7 will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any way in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Action relating to this Agreement, or the other Transactional Agreements in connection herewith, or the enforcement of any provision of such items is brought against any Party hereto pursuant to ARTICLE IX above, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other damages or relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

10.11 Arbitration.

(a) In the event the Parties to this Agreement are unable to resolve a disputed claim or claims, any of the Parties may request arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration will

not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or all Parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter will be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of a party requesting arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.11, Buyer and Seller will each select one (1) arbitrator, and, within ten (10) days of such selection, the two (2) arbitrators so selected will select a third arbitrator. The arbitrators will set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the Parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing Parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators will rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and will have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent Law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three (3) arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim will be binding and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. Such decision will be written and will be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which will set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrators.

(b) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration will be held in Anaheim, CA, or such other location as the parties may mutually agree, under the rules then in effect of JAMS/Endispute.

10.12 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the terms hereof with respect to the obligations and rights of each Party hereto.

10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in full force and effect; provided that the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for all Parties remain valid, binding and enforceable. In event of any such determination, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the Parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of Law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

10.14 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto or any other agreement (or document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different Parties in separate counterparts. All of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement (or other document) and shall become effective (unless otherwise provided therein) when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Parties.

[Signature page follows.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
