Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 3.2. Payments at Closing. At Closing, the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration payable by Buyer shall be paid and distributed as follows (for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Buyer at Closing be required to pay to or on behalf of the Security Holders in exchange for the Company Equity Interests an amount greater than the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount):

(a) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 3.3 and the Allocation Schedule, a cash amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Paying Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, equal to the aggregate Closing Per Share Amount payable to the Stockholders pursuant to Sections 3.1(b)(iv) and 3.1(b)(v).

The Reserve Amount shall be used for the purposes set forth in Section 6.5(e). To the extent any amount becomes payable out of the Reserve Account to the Security Holders pursuant to Section 6.5(e) (such amount the “Remaining Reserve Amount”), the Seller Representative shall pay (or cause to be paid): (i) to the Paying Agent, an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the Remaining Reserve Amount payable to Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iv) and Section 3.1(b)(v), for distribution to such Stockholders in accordance with Section 3.3, (ii) to the Surviving Corporation, an amount equal to the portion of the Remaining Reserve Amount payable to Company Option Holders, for distribution to the Company Option Holders pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(vi) through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system and (iii) to the Paying Agent, an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the Remaining Reserve Amount payable to the Company Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(vii), for distribution to such Company Warrant Holder in accordance with Section 3.3.

(g) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) on behalf of the Company, all amounts set forth in the Debt Payoff Letters in accordance with the related wire transfer instructions set forth therein.

Section 3.3. Paying Agent; Exchange of Certificates; Payment Procedures.

(a) Paying Agent. The Parties hereby appoint Acquiom Financial LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as the payments administrator in connection herewith (in such role, the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of distributing to the Stockholders and holder of Warrant Shares the consideration payable to them pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iv), Section 3.1(b)(v), and Section 3.1(b)(vii), as applicable. Contemporaneously herewith, Buyer, the Company and the Paying Agent are entering into a mutually agreeable payments administration agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”). All costs and expenses of the Paying Agent shall constitute Seller Transaction Expenses hereunder.

(b) Payment Procedures. Prior to the Effective Time, and in no event later than ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall cause each Stockholder and the holder of Warrant Shares to be provided with a Letter of Transmittal. Upon surrender by a Stockholder and the holder of Warrant Shares of a Letter of Transmittal, including all deliverables required thereunder, duly executed and completed in accordance with its terms, the Paying Agent shall cause each Stockholder and each holder of Warrant Shares to be paid the amounts under Section 3.1(b)(iv), Section 3.1(b)(v) and Section 3.1(b)(vii), as applicable, payable with respect to the applicable shares of Company Stock. Upon delivery by a Company Option Holder of a duly executed option cancelation agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Cancellation Agreement”), the Company shall pay to such Company Option Holder the amounts to be paid under Section 3.1(b)(vi) payable with respect to the applicable Vested Company Option, net of applicable withholdings. For the avoidance of doubt, no payments shall be made prior to the Closing. The Company shall cause the foregoing payments to be made at Closing to such Stockholders, holder of Warrant Shares, and/or Company Option Holders who have delivered the Letter of Transmittal or Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) prior to or at Closing.

(c) Lost Certificates. If any certificate evidencing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact and delivery of an indemnification agreement in favor of Buyer and the Company, as provided for in the Letter of Transmittal, by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery thereof

and the Letter of Transmittal in accordance with Section 3.3(b), the Paying Agent will cause the Person to be paid the amounts payable with respect to the applicable shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iv) or Section 3.1(b)(v) as applicable.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and Buyer shall then pay, without interest, any amounts owing with respect to the applicable shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iv) or and Section 3.1(b)(v), as applicable, subject to receipt of a Letter of Transmittal, including all deliverables required thereunder, duly executed and completed in accordance with its terms.

(e) Termination of the Payment Fund. Any portion of the amounts paid by Buyer to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.3 for payment to the Security Holders (the “Payment Fund”) which remains undistributed to the Security Holders on the date that is one (1) year after the date of deposit of such amounts shall be delivered to Buyer or the Surviving Corporation (at the direction of Buyer), and any Security Holders who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Buyer and the Surviving Corporation for its respective portion of the Aggregate Adjusted Per Share Consideration Amount and any other amounts payable under this Article III, and Buyer shall, upon the request of any such Security Holder and execution by such Security Holder and delivery to Buyer of a Letter of Transmittal or other agreement reasonably required by Buyer, promptly pay to such Security Holder the portion of the Aggregate Adjusted Per Share Consideration Amount to which such Security Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(b). None of the Buyer Entities, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Seller Representative or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Aggregate Adjusted Per Share Consideration Amount and any other amounts payable under this Article III from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to and in full compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by the Security Holders four (4) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Buyer free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Withholding Rights. Buyer (and any of its Affiliates and any applicable withholding agent) and the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, in good faith, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law; provided, however, that (i) prior to making any such deduction or withholding, Buyer, the Company or any Affiliate thereof, shall give any affected Security Holder (other than the Company Option Holders with respect to Outstanding Company Options) notice of its intention to make such deduction or withholding (such notice, which shall be given at least a commercially reasonable period of time before

such deduction or withholding is required, in order for such Security Holder to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding), (ii) Buyer, the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as applicable, shall cooperate with each such Security Holder (other than the Company Option Holders with respect to Outstanding Company Options) to the extent reasonable in efforts to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding, and (iii) Buyer, the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as applicable, shall timely remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority any and all amounts so deducted or withheld and timely file all Tax Returns and provide to the Security Holders (including the Company Option Holders) such information statements and other documents required to be filed or provided under applicable Law. All amounts withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as being timely paid.

(g) Escrow Amount. All parties hereto agree for all Tax purposes: (i) the right of the Security Holders to the Escrow Amount shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local Law, as appropriate; (ii) Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount solely for Tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Buyer pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation Sections 1.468B-8; (iii) if and to the extent any portion of the Escrow Amount is actually distributed to the Company Option Holders in respect of their Vested Company Options, such portion shall be treated as compensation paid at the time the portion of the Escrow Amount is actually released to such Company Option Holders and shall be subject to applicable withholding Tax at such time; (iv) if and to the extent any amount of the Escrow Amount is actually distributed to the Security Holders, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code; and (v) in the event that the total amount of any interest and earnings earned on the Escrow Amount exceeds the imputed interest determined under clause (iv), such excess amount shall be treated as interest or other income and not as purchase price. Clause (v) of the preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the right of the Security Holders to the Escrow Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. All Parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 3.4. Purchase Price Adjustment; Allocation Schedule.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer (i) a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith calculations of estimates of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, calculated in accordance with Exhibit A (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”), Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), and Seller Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”), and a calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount (such certificate, the “Estimated Closing Statement”), which Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared by the Company in consultation with Buyer, and (ii) an allocation schedule setting forth: (A) each Stockholder’s name and the number of shares of each class or series of Company Stock held by such Person immediately prior to the Effective Time; (B) for each Company Option Holder, (I) the number of shares of, and class or series

of, Company Stock into which such Company Option Holder’s Vested Company Options were exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time (and upon the Award Acceleration, if applicable), and (II) the exercise price of such Vested Company Options; (C) for the Company Warrant Holder to the extent the Warrant is unexercised as of the Closing, (I) the number of shares of, and class or series of, Company Stock into which such Warrant was deemed exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (II) the exercise price of such Warrant; (D) the Closing Per Share Amount; (E) the portion of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount payable to (I) each Stockholder pursuant to each of Section 3.1(b)(iv)(A) or Section 3.1(b)(v)(A), in the aggregate, (II) each Company Option Holder as Closing Option Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(vi)(A) in the aggregate, and (III) the Company Warrant Holder to the extent the Warrant is unexercised as of the Closing as Closing Warrant Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(vii)(A); (F) for each Security Holder their Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount, the Reserve Amount and the Excess Amount and (G) for each payee of Seller Transaction Expenses, the name of such payee, the amount of Seller Transaction Expenses owed to such payee, and the account to which payment of such Seller Transaction Expenses will be made at Closing (such allocation schedule, the “Allocation Schedule”). The amounts set forth on the Allocation Schedule shall be calculated by the Company in accordance with the Company’s Organization Documents, including the Company Charter.

(b) Buyer, the Company and each Security Holder hereby agrees that the amounts set forth in the Allocation Schedule shall govern the allocation of any amounts payable to the Security Holders in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to rely solely on the Allocation Schedule with respect to the amounts allocated and payable to the Security Holders pursuant hereto thereto. Once Buyer or the Company has made (or caused to be made) any payments required to be made hereunder to the Security Holders in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, such payments shall constitute a complete discharge of the relevant payment obligation of Buyer hereunder to such Security Holders.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) cause to be prepared a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount (calculated in accordance with Exhibit A), Closing Cash (calculated in accordance with Exhibit G), the Closing Indebtedness, the Seller Transaction Expenses and the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount and (ii) deliver to the Seller Representative, together with reasonable supporting detail, the Closing Statement. From and after the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement until the calculations set froth therein are finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Seller Representative, its Affiliates and their auditors, accountants and other Representatives shall be permitted reasonable access to the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries and their auditors, accountants, personnel, books and records and any other documents or information reasonably requested by the Seller Representative (including, subject to the consent of the auditors or accountants, the information, data and work papers used by auditors or accountants that assisted in the preparation of the Closing Statement).

(d) Disputes.

(i) If the Seller Representative disputes the calculations of any of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, the Seller Transaction Expenses or the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement, then the Seller Representative shall deliver a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer at any time during the thirty (30) day period commencing upon receipt by the Seller Representative of the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail.

(ii) If the Seller Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Seller Transaction Expenses and the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount set forth in the Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and their Affiliates and Representatives, nonappealable, and not be subject to further review, and shall be considered final for all purposes hereunder.

(iii) If the Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Seller Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the items comprising the Closing Statement that are in dispute. If the Seller Representative and Buyer are unable to reach agreement on all the items that are in dispute within twenty (20) days after the end of the Review Period, either Party shall have the right to refer such dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers (such firm, or any successor thereto or other firm mutually agreed to by Buyer and the Seller Representative, being referred to herein as the “Designated Accounting Firm”) after such twentieth (20^th) day. There shall be no ex parte communications in connection herewith between the Seller Representative, Buyer, or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Designated Accounting Firm, on the other hand, other than written answers by the Seller Representative or Buyer to written questions of the Designated Accounting Firm, which will be provided by such Party promptly upon any request by the Designated Accounting Firm (in each case, copies of which shall be provided simultaneously to the other Party). In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm: (A) within thirty (30) days after its engagement, the Designated Accounting Firm shall make determinations in respect of those specific items that are disputed in the Dispute Notice, and all determinations shall be based solely on the presentations of Buyer and the Seller Representative and their respective Representatives, and not by independent review, (B) in resolving any disputed item, the Designated Accounting Firm: (1) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Agreement, and (2) shall 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, and (C) the determination made by the Designated Accounting Firm of the items in dispute shall be conclusive, binding upon the Parties and their Affiliates and Representatives, nonappealable and considered final for all purposes hereunder and shall not be subject to further review. The fees and costs of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be payable by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Security Holders, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputed amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Designated Accounting Firm. For example, if the disputed amount is $1,000 and the Designated Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Seller Representative’s position, then 60% of the fees and costs of the Designated Accounting Firm would be borne by Buyer and 40% of such fees and costs would be borne by the Security Holders.

(e) If the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount, less Closing Indebtedness, and less Seller Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 exceeds the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount, less Estimated Closing Indebtedness, less Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then Buyer shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after such determination, pay (or cause to be paid): (i) to the Paying Agent, an amount equal to the aggregate Per Share Excess Amounts payable to the Stockholders as specified in the Allocation Schedule, for distribution to such Stockholders pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iv) and Section 3.1(b)(v) in accordance with Section 3.3, (ii) to the Surviving Corporation, an amount equal to the aggregate Per Share Excess Amounts payable to Company Option Holders as specified on in Allocation Schedule, for distribution to the Company Option Holders pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(vi) through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, and (iii) to the Paying Agent, an amount equal to the aggregate Per Share Excess Amounts payable to the Company Warrant Holder as specified in the Allocation Schedule, for distribution to such Company Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(vii) in accordance with Section 3.3. Additionally, Buyer and Seller Representative shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Days after the Excess Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 instructing the Escrow Agent to pay the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Paying Agent and the Company, as applicable, for further distribution to the Security Holders in the manner described in Section 3.4(e).

(f) If the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount, less Closing Indebtedness, and less Seller Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 is less than the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount, less Estimated Closing Indebtedness, and less Seller Transaction Expenses (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”), then (i) Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Days after the Shortfall Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer, from the Escrow Account, an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount and, if the Adjustment Escrow Amount exceeds the Shortfall Amount, the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Paying Agent and the Company, as applicable, for further distribution to the Security Holders in the manner described in Section 3.4(e).

(g) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall constitute an adjustment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer acknowledges that the sole and exclusive remedy of itself, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and any other Person to receive payments owed to it under this Section 3.4 shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount of the Escrow Funds (inclusive of both the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Indemnity Escrow Amount) and that the Escrow Funds shall not be available to satisfy any other claim or obligation hereunder.

(a) Shareholder Representative Services LLC is hereby appointed as of the Closing as the Seller Representative (and each successor appointed in accordance with Section 6.5(c)) and as the true and lawful representative, attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent of the Security Holders for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to perform all such acts as the Seller Representative is authorized to take under the Transaction Documents and in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, which will include the power and authority to: (i) execute and deliver all documents that the Seller Representative is authorized to execute and deliver under the Transaction Documents; (ii) authorize or require payments to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.4(f) (if any); (iii) receive and, if applicable, forward notices and communications pursuant to this Agreement; (iv) give or agree to, on behalf of all or any of the Security Holders, any and all consents, waivers, amendments or modifications deemed by the Seller Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the execution or delivery of any documents that may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith; (v) amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the instruments to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (vi) with respect to Section 3.4, (A) dispute or refrain from disputing, on behalf of each Security Holder relative to any amounts to be received by such Security Holder thereunder, (B) negotiate and compromise, on behalf of each such Security Holder, any dispute that may arise thereunder, and exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available thereunder, (C) execute, on behalf of each such Security Holder, any settlement agreement, release or other document with respect to such dispute or remedy and (D) make any payments or adjustments among any Persons referenced in Article III; (viii) engage attorneys, accountants, agents or consultants in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby and pay any fees related thereto; (viii) make all other elections or decisions that the Seller Representative is authorized to make under any Transaction Document; and (ix) perform each such act and thing whatsoever that Seller Representative may be or is required to do, or which Seller Representative in its sole good faith discretion determines is desirable to do, pursuant to or to carry out the intent of the Transaction Documents, and to amend, modify or supplement any of the foregoing.

(b) The grant of authority provided for in this Section 6.5 (i) is coupled with an interest and is being granted, in part, as an inducement to the Company and Buyer Entities to enter into this Agreement and will be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy, merger, change of control or liquidation of any Security Holder and will be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) subject to this Section 6.5, may be exercised by the Seller Representative acting by signing as the Seller Representative of any Security Holder.

(c) If Seller Representative resigns or is otherwise unavailable to perform its duties hereunder, within three (3) Business Days of notice of such advice, an alternative Seller Representative reasonably satisfactory to Buyer will be appointed by the Security Holders then holding a majority-in-interest of the Common Stock (or, if after the Closing, the Security Holders who held a majority-in-interest of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing), in each case, calculated on a basis as if all shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of Common Stock. Any references in this Agreement to Seller Representative shall be deemed to include any duly appointed successor Seller Representative.

(d) All acts of the Seller Representative hereunder in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be acts on behalf of the Security Holders and not of the Seller Representative individually. As between the Seller Representative and the Security Holders, the Seller Representative shall not have any Liability for any amount owed to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. The Seller Representative shall not be liable to the Company, Buyer, the Merger Sub or any other Person in its capacity as the Seller Representative, for any Liability of any Security Holder or otherwise, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement. The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Security Holder, in his or its capacity as the Seller Representative, for any Liability of any Security Holder or otherwise, or for any error of judgment, or any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake in fact or Law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, except in the case of the Seller Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Seller Representative may seek the advice of legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement or its duties or rights hereunder and shall not be liable to any Security Holder for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Seller Representative shall not by reason of this Agreement have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Security Holder. Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any communication given or other action taken by the Seller Representative on behalf of the Security Holders and pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance on a communication or other instruction from the Seller Representative on behalf of the Security Holders. The Security Holders shall indemnify the Seller Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative will reimburse the Security Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Seller

Representative from (i) the funds in the Reserve Account and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Security Holders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Security Holders; provided, that while the Seller Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Security Holders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Seller Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Security Holders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Security Holders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Seller Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Seller Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Seller Representative is hereby authorized to establish an account for the purposes of holding the Reserve Amount (the “Reserve Account”) and the Seller Representative shall use the Reserve Account in its sole discretion to pay any fees, costs, expenses or other obligations incurred by the Seller Representative acting in its capacity as such. The Security Holders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Reserve Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Seller Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Seller Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Seller Representative’s responsibilities, the Seller Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Reserve Amount to the Paying Agent or Company, as applicable, for further distribution to the Security Holders. For tax purposes, the Reserve Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Security Holders at the time of Closing.

(f) Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Security Holders.

Section 6.6. Post-Closing Cooperation. Each of the Parties shall, after the Closing, use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable and execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.7. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements in effect as of the date hereof between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors, managers and officers (the “D&O Indemnitees”), in each case to the extent listed on Section 4.18 of the Disclosure

Schedule. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the Organizational Documents of the Company (or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Company) and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner to make such terms less favorable to the D&O Indemnitees, except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company will (at the Company’s sole cost and expense, which shall be treated as a Seller Transaction Expense hereunder) obtain a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Tail Policy”), for the Persons who were, prior to the date hereof, covered by the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such D&O Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, for so long as such D&O Tail Policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c) If Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall assume all of the obligations of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries set forth in this Section 6.7.

(d) The obligations set forth in this Section 6.7 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any D&O Indemnitee (or any other Person who is a beneficiary under the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.7(b) (and their heirs and Representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected D&O Indemnitee or other Person who is a beneficiary under the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.7(b) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the D&O Indemnitees or other persons who are beneficiaries under the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.7(b) (and their heirs and Representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7(b), with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the D&O Indemnitees (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.7(b) (and their heirs and Representatives)) under this Section 6.7 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the Organizational Documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company for any of its directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.7 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 6.8. Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Closing Date or such longer period of time required by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) provide to each Continuing Employee (i) base compensation (including cash incentive compensation or commission opportunities, as applicable) and target annual cash bonus opportunity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the target value of cash bonus opportunity that is payable based on achievement against performance objectives) in each case, that are not less favorable than such Continuing Employee’s compensation opportunities in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) employee benefits and fringe benefits (including retirement, health and welfare benefits, defined benefit pension, change-in-control, retention, severance, non-qualified deferred compensation, and equity or equity-based incentive compensation) that are the same as or substantially similar to those in effect for similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company, and any predecessor entities, prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual and entitlement to benefits (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay entitlement); provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation that are not Employee Plans (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate under the New Plan terms, (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical and pharmaceutical benefits to any Continuing Employee, all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Employee Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan, and (iii) the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any New Plan which is a flexible spending plan to be credited with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable Employee Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time.

(c) No provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right to employment, continued employment, or any term or condition of employment with Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, for any period of time, or preclude the ability of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee for any reason or no reason; (ii) limit in any way the right of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Employee Plan or to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan at any time; (iii) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any current or former director, officer, employee or Contingent Worker of the Company to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.8; or (iv) be construed as an amendment, modification, waiver or creation of any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed a guaranty of employment or alter the “at will” employment status of the Continuing Employees, it being understood and agreed that Buyer shall have sole discretion to make employment termination decisions following the Closing based on the financial and operational needs of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries).

Section 6.9. Regulatory Approvals and Third Party Consents.

(a) Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall cooperate with one another and use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and cause its respective Affiliates to use their commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) prepare all necessary documentation (including furnishing all information required under the Competition Laws) to effect promptly all necessary filings with any Governmental Authority and any other third party, including, without limitation, those filings set forth on Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) obtain all consents, waivers and approvals of any Governmental Authority or other third party necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, including, without limitation, those consents, waivers and approvals set forth on Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.3 of the Disclosure Schedule. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall provide to the other copies of all correspondence between it (or its advisors) and any Governmental Antitrust Entity or other Governmental Authority relating to the Contemplated Transactions or any of the matters described in this Section 6.9. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall promptly inform the other of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Buyer or Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall independently participate in any meeting or conference call with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. To the extent permissible under applicable Law, each of the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand, will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under the Competition Laws. The parties may, as they deem advisable, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 6.9(a) or any other section of this Agreement as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.9, each of the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand shall (including by causing their “ultimate parent entities” as that term is defined in the HSR Act (if applicable) to) (i) prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all forms, registrations and appropriate filings pursuant to any applicable Competition Law and with any applicable Governmental Antitrust Entity for which a competition filing is required as soon as reasonably practicable, including filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, (ii) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to any Governmental Antitrust Entity information and documents requested by such Governmental Antitrust Entity or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and (iii) supply at the earliest practicable date to the appropriate Governmental Antitrust Entities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to a Competition Law or other applicable Law. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (and shall cause its “ultimate parent entity” as that term is defined in the HSR Act (if applicable) to cause) the filings under the HSR Act to be considered for grant of “early termination” (if such early termination is permitted by the applicable Governmental Antitrust Entity at the time of filing), and make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper, or advisable in connection therewith. Buyer shall be responsible for all filing fees under the HSR Act and any other filings required by Competition Laws set forth on Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Schedule. Buyer and Merger Sub shall not, without the written consent of the Company, “pull-and-refile” pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.12 any filing made under the HSR Act, or take any similar action without prior written approval from the Company with respect to any filing made with any Governmental Antitrust Entity.

(c) If any objections are asserted with respect to the Contemplated Transactions under any Competition Law or if any Action is instituted by any Governmental Antitrust Entity or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Competition Law, each of Buyer and the Company shall, subject to the terms of Section 6.9(e) below, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) oppose or defend against any action to prevent or enjoin consummation of this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated herein), and/or (ii) take such reasonable action as necessary to overturn any regulatory action by any Governmental Antitrust Entity to prevent or enjoin consummation of this Agreement (and the Contemplated Transactions), including by defending any Action brought by any Governmental Antitrust Entity in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, in order to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Antitrust Entity or private party may have to such transactions under such Competition Law so as to permit consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(d) From the date of this Agreement through the date (i) of termination of the required waiting periods under the HSR Act and all applicable Competition Laws and (ii) the consents required pursuant to Section 6.9(a) are obtained, Buyer, Merger Sub and any of their Affiliates and the Company shall not take any action that would reasonably be expected to hinder or delay, as applicable, the obtaining of clearance

or the expiration of the required waiting periods under the HSR Act and such applicable Competition Laws, or the obtaining of the consents required pursuant to Section 6.9(a) from the applicable Governmental Authorities and third parties.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, (y) nothing in this Agreement shall require any Party or its Affiliates to litigate with any Governmental Authority concerning the transactions contemplated hereby and (z) no Party nor its Affiliates shall be required hereunder to (I) enter into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or other agreement with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, or (II) divest or otherwise hold separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), or take any other action (or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing) with respect to the subsidiaries, businesses, assets or properties of Buyer any of its Affiliates or of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.10. R&W Policy.

(a) At or prior to the date hereof, Buyer will have obtained, at the Buyer’s cost and expense, the R&W Insurance Commitment Letter for the R&W Policy. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to cause all conditions set forth in the R&W Insurance Commitment Letter for the issuance of the R&W Policy at the Closing to be satisfied, including paying all costs, expenses and premiums due from it and arising under the R&W Insurance Commitment Letter, as required for the R&W Policy to be effective as of the Closing, including, without limitation, the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commission, due diligence fees, Taxes due and payable under the terms of such policy. The R&W Policy shall contain no entitlement to subrogation rights of recovery against any of the Security Holders, except in the case of Fraud. From and after the date of binding the R&W Policy, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) will not amend, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Policy in any manner materially adverse to any of the Security Holders.

(b) Buyer hereby agrees that if it becomes apparent that the RWI Policy will not be in full force and effect at the Closing due to no fault of Buyer or breach of its obligations hereunder, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as soon as reasonably possible a comparable replacement buy-side representation and warranty insurance policy for a coverage amount of $15,000,000 (the “Replacement R&W Policy”). For the avoidance of doubt, a replacement buy-side representation and warranty insurance policy will not be deemed to be comparable if it does not provide comparable coverage, exclusions and terms as that contemplated by the R&W Insurance Commitment Letter at a comparable cost.

Section 6.11. Preservation of Records. For a period of seven years after the Closing Date or such other longer period as required by applicable law, the Surviving Corporation shall preserve and retain, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (including (a) any documents relating to any governmental or non-governmental Actions or investigations and (b) all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers and other material records or other documents relating to Taxes of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries) relating to the conduct of the business and operations of the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.12. Notice of Developments. Each of the Company and Buyer shall give prompt (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) notice to the other if any of the following occurs during the Pre-Closing Period:

(a) any material breach of any material covenant or agreement of such Party hereunder;

(b) any material breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Party in this Agreement;

(d) the occurrence of any event that, had it occurred prior to the date of this Agreement without any additional disclosure hereunder, would have constituted a Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that, if the Company becomes aware of any fact or condition that constitutes a material breach of any representation or warranty made in Article IV above, or if any fact or condition, either currently existing or hereafter occurring, requires any material change in the Disclosure Schedule delivered to Buyer on the date hereof, the Company shall promptly thereafter deliver to Buyer a supplement to the Disclosure Schedule specifying any necessary change. Except as expressly provided below in this Section 6.12, such supplement shall not be deemed to amend the Disclosure Schedule or qualify the related representations and warranties of the Company herein. With respect to any item or matter that relates solely to actions, occurrences, facts, developments, events or Actions that (i) both arise and become known to the Company after the date hereof and would have been required or permitted to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule had such matter existed as of the date hereof, (ii) does not arise from a breach of this Agreement, and (iii) does not reduce, alter or otherwise effect the rights of Buyer under the R&W Policy, the item in such supplement shall be deemed to amend the Disclosure Schedule and qualify the representations and warranties of the Company. Any other supplements to the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to amend the Disclosure Schedule, shall be made without effect to or qualification of any of the related representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, and shall have no effect on the right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement or the right of the Buyer Indemnitees to seek indemnification; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to provide such notice under this Section 6.12 shall not be interpreted to change (or have the effect of changing) an inaccuracy or breach of a representation and warranty into a breach of a covenant.

Section 6.13. Exclusivity. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers and other Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage the initiation of any Acquisition Proposal or (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party regarding, or furnish to any third party any information in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal. The

Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause their respective Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, any Acquisition Proposal.

Section 6.14. Access to Information. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will provide (or cause to be provided, as applicable) Buyer and Buyer’s authorized agents and Representatives reasonable access, at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice (which notice shall describe in sufficient detail the information Buyer and its authorized agents and Representatives are seeking) (x) to the books and records of the Acquired Companies and (y) to the records and ledgers maintained by the Company that specifically relate to onboarding the business and employees of the Acquired Companies, as well as provide Buyer with such reasonable access to the employees of the Acquired Companies as is reasonably necessary to permit Buyer to obtain the related employee information and “onboard” the employees (i.e., employees, medical directors, volunteers, and other contracted employees) of the Acquired Companies on the Closing Date, which “onboarding” shall include “day one” benefits enrollment, 401(k) plan participation and payroll conversion in and to Buyer and any applicable training, communications and information technology/network services related to supporting these “onboarding” activities; provided, that (a) all such access will be coordinated through Lazard, (b) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Acquired Companies’ business and will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements, (c) except as reasonably necessary for the “onboarding” process, Buyer and its authorized agents and Representatives will not contact or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, with the employees, customers, or suppliers of the Acquired Companies unless, in each instance, approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (d) nothing herein will require the Acquired Companies to furnish to Buyer or provide Buyer with access to information that legal counsel for the Acquired Companies reasonably conclude would reasonably be expected to give rise to antitrust or competition Law issues or that is subject to attorney-client privilege or is the subject of any applicable information privacy or security Laws.

Section 6.15. Miscellaneous Covenants.

(a) Updated H1 File, Etc. The Company shall, at least fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing but no more than twenty-one (21) days prior to the Closing, provide Buyer with an updated Section 4.20(d) of the Disclosure Schedule. Further, during the period commencing on the date of delivery of the aforementioned list and continuing throughout the remainder of the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, hire any additional employees, other than such hires arising in the Ordinary Course of Business or as needed, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion reasonably exercised, to maintain appropriate staffing levels; provided, however, that the Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer of changes to staffing levels that increase, materially, such staffing levels relative to historic staffing levels.

During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall provide to Buyer monthly combined financial statements for the Company and its Subsidiaries and year-to-date combined financial statements for the Company and its Subsidiaries for each month following the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each month preceding and following the date hereof), prepared in accordance with GAAP, no later than twenty (20) days after the end of each month, together with the related trial account balances and such other financial information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.

(e) Stimulus Funds. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) participate in, or receive any amounts pursuant to, any CARES Act stimulus fund programs, including, without limitation, the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, (ii) apply for or receive any PPP loans.

(f) Corrective Filings. If any notice, disclosure or other information required for maintenance of the Government Program or Third-Party Payor participation by the Company or any Subsidiary or maintenance of the Permits of the Company and its Subsidiaries is discovered prior to the Closing to be inaccurate or insufficient, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer to submit any necessary filings or documents to the Government Programs (or other Governmental Authorities) or Third-Party Payor to correct such notice, disclosure or information.

(g) Termination of 401(k) Plan. Effective no later than the day before the Closing, the Company shall adopt a resolution (contingent upon the consummation of the Closing) and take any action necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) Plan and Trust. The Company shall provide such resolution to Buyer reasonably in advance of its adoption and such resolution shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

(h) Maintenance of Registered Proprietary Rights. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall duly maintain all Company Proprietary Rights owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries that have been issued by, or registered or the subject of an application filed with, as applicable, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or any similar office or agency, and shall duly prosecute all pending filings and submissions previously made in relation to the issuance and/or registration of such Company Proprietary Rights.

(k) Section 280G Stockholder Approval. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause a stockholder vote to be conducted to determine, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined in section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive any and all payments (or other benefits) contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent necessary so that no payment received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” under section 280G(b) of the Code (determined without regard to section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in a manner that satisfies the stockholder approval requirements under section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. Consistent with section 280G(b)(5) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such vote shall establish the “disqualified individual’s” right to the payment, benefit or other compensation to the extent necessary so that no such payment received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” under section 280G(b) of the Code. At the Closing, the Company shall provide Buyer stockholder resolutions or stockholder consents evidencing that such vote has been conducted in accordance with this Section (such resolutions or consents, the “280G Resolutions”).

(c) by the Company, if any Buyer Entity breaches in any material respect any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations to consummate the Contemplated Transactions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Buyer by the Company, cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of the Termination Date and ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to the Company, if the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(d) by Buyer, if the Company breaches in any material respect any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to the Company by Buyer, cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of the Termination Date and ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to Buyer if Buyer is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

Section 9.1. Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and in any certificate delivered at the Closing shall survive the Closing and terminate at 5:00 PM Eastern time on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that:

(a) all covenants and agreements contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents which by their terms are to be performed solely, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing, shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms or, if no term is specified, in accordance with the applicable statute of limitations;

(b) all covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed solely, or which prohibit actions, prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing and terminate on the earlier of (x) completion of performance thereof and (y) 5:00 PM Eastern time on the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date; and

(c) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and terminate at 5:00 PM Eastern time on the date of expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (as applicable in each of the foregoing cases in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.1, the “Survival Expiration Date”).

No claim for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, or claim for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable, may be brought after the applicable Survival Expiration Date, except for claims made in good faith (1) of which the Seller Representative has been notified in writing with reasonable specificity by Buyer prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date, or (2) of which Buyer has been notified in writing with reasonable specificity by the Seller Representative prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

Section 9.2. Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees.

(a) If the Closing occurs, subject to the terms of this Article IX, the Security Holders agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Acquired Companies, Buyer and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay to the Buyer Indemnities the amount of, or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees by reason of:

(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Security Holders contained in the Letters of Transmittal or Cancellation Agreements, and any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in any certificate delivered at the Closing by or on behalf of the Company or the Security Holders pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) the failure of the Company to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein required to be performed prior to the Closing;

(iii) any Excluded Matter (in each case, without regard to any matters disclosed on the Company Disclosure Schedule);

(iv) the failure of the Seller Representative or the Security Holders to perform any of their respective covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Transaction Documents required to be performed after the Closing; and

(v) Fraud.

For purposes of determining both (1) whether the Company, the Seller Representative or any Security Holders, as applicable, has breached any of its representations and warranties or covenants or agreements herein, and (2) the amount of Losses suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee by reason of such breach, qualifications therein referring to “material”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” and other qualifications of similar import or effect shall be disregarded (the “Materiality Scrape”); provided, however, that if Buyer did not have a basis for a Fraud claim under this Article IX prior to the Materiality Scrape, application of the Materiality Scrape shall not result in Buyer having a basis to bring a Fraud claim after such application. The Materiality Scrape (i) shall not apply to the representations contained in Sections 4.7(b), 4.18(a), and the first sentence of Section 4.24, and (ii) shall not apply to references to “Material Contracts” and will be disregarded in the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect”.

(i) no right to be indemnified or held harmless shall exist and no claim may be made against the Security Holders under Section 9.2(a)(i) (except for Fraud, which shall not be subject to the Deductible)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of claims thereunder equals or exceeds $1,250,000 (the “Deductible”), after which point the Security Holders shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against all such Losses in excess of the Deductible (subject to the other terms and limitations herein);

(ii) no right to be indemnified or held harmless shall exist and no claim may be made against the Security Holders under Section 9.2(a)(iii) (except for Fraud, which shall not be subject to the Excluded Matters Deductible)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of claims thereunder equals or exceeds $1,250,000 (the “Excluded Matters Deductible”), after which point the Security Holders shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees from and against all such Losses in excess of the Excluded Matters Deductible (subject to the other terms and limitations herein);

(iii) except for Fraud, the aggregate liability of the Security Holders for all Losses under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall not exceed One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000);

(iv) except for Fraud, the aggregate liability of the Security Holders for all Losses under Sections 9.2(a)(i), 9.2(a)(ii), and 9.2(a)(iii) shall not exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount (which Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with the R&W Policy, as applicable, shall be the Buyer Indemnitee’s exclusive source of recovery for such Losses);

(v) in the case of either (x) any Fraud by a Security Holder or (y) any breach by a Security Holder of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Transaction Documents required to be performed after the Closing, the Buyer Indemnitees shall look solely to the related Security Holder to recover their related Losses;

(vi) in the case of either (x) any Fraud by the Company or (y) any breach by the Seller Representative of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Transaction Documents required to be performed after the Closing, the Security Holders shall be severally (and not jointly) liable for the related Losses in accordance with their respective pro rata shares actually received of the Aggregate Adjusted Per Share Consideration Amount; and

(vii) except for Fraud by the related Security Holder, the aggregate liability of each Security Holder for all indemnification claims made against such Security Holder pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed such Security Holder’s pro rata share of the Aggregate Consideration Amount actually received by such Security Holder.

Section 9.3. Indemnification of the Seller Indemnitees.

(a) If the Closing occurs, subject to the terms of this Article IX, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Security Holders (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay to the Seller Indemnities the amount of, or reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitees by reason of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained herein or in any certificate delivered at the Closing by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained herein required to be performed prior to the Closing, or the failure of Buyer to perform any covenant or agreement set forth herein which by its terms is to be performed after the Closing.

(b) In addition to the limitations in Section 9.1, the right of the Seller Indemnitees to submit claims pursuant to Section 9.3(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i) no right to be indemnified or held harmless shall exist and no claim may be made against Buyer under Section 9.3(a)(i) (except for Fraud, which shall not be subject to the

Deductible) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitees in respect of claims thereunder equals or exceeds the Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against all such Losses in excess of the Deductible (subject to the other terms and limitations herein); and

(ii) except for Fraud, the aggregate liability of Buyer for all Losses under Section 9.3(a)(i) shall not exceed $2,500,000; and

(iii) except for Fraud, the aggregate liability of Buyer for all indemnification claims made against Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall not exceed the Aggregate Consideration Amount actually paid by Buyer.

Section 9.4. Indemnification Procedures and Related Provisions and Additional Limitations.

(a) Any party entitled to make a claim for indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify (a “Claim Notice”) the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim in writing upon learning of such claim or the facts constituting such claim, describing the claim in reasonable detail, the amount thereof, and the basis therefor, and in the case of any claims based on a claim by a third party, attach all notices, pleadings and other documents or instruments served upon or received by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party’s failure to respond to a Claim Notice within twenty (20) business days of its delivery will be deemed to be a denial of the claim.

(b) In the event that any Action is commenced by a third party involving a claim (an “Asserted Liability”) for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified and held harmless hereunder by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) business days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party in writing whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense and with non-conflicted counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to defend against such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, which shall require the Indemnifying Party to (i) notify the Indemnified Party in writing that it has assumed such defense and that the facts asserted in such Asserted Liability are within the scope of the indemnification obligations of such Indemnifying Party and (ii) provide evidence of its financial wherewithal to do so should the Indemnifying Party’s liability exposure for the Asserted Liability exceed the remaining balance of the applicable escrow fund, the Indemnifying Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend and protect the interests of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Asserted Liability. The Indemnified Party, at its own expense, shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend the Asserted Liability (or is not entitled to the defend the Asserted Liability under Section 9.4(d)), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim

and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Asserted Liability without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Asserted Liability without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement or judgment (x) provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party without any admission of wrongdoing or liability, (y) does not require the Indemnified Party to make any monetary payments other than those for which it will be reimbursed in full contemporaneously therewith (subject to the Deductible or Excluded Matters Deductible, as applicable), and (z) does not include any non-monetary relief.

(c) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to make available to each other, their counsel and other representatives, all non-privileged information and documents available to them which relate to an Asserted Liability. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Acquired Companies and their respective employees also agree to render to each other such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of an Asserted Liability.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 9.4(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Asserted Liability if (i) the Asserted Liability is a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Asserted Liability that is not cured within a reasonable time after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party specifying in reasonable detail the manner in which the Indemnifying Party has so failed or is failing, (iii) the relief sought in respect of the Asserted Liability includes non-monetary relief (other than a general boilerplate request for such other and further relief as the court deems just and proper), or (iv) the Indemnifying Party asserts defenses or otherwise takes actions or attempts to take actions that are contrary to the best interests of the Indemnified Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4, (i) the control of the defense of any third-party claim for which any Buyer Indemnitee is entitled recovery under the R&W Policy shall be subject to the provisions of such R&W Policy, and (ii) the control of the defense of any Tax Contest shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.3(d).

Section 9.5. Insurance and Other Third Party Recoveries. In calculating the monetary thresholds set forth in Sections 9.2(b)(i) and 9.2(b)(ii), as applicable, and the amounts otherwise payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be computed net of (i) payments actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy (other than the R&W Policy) with respect to such Losses (after giving effect to any applicable deductible or retention, any out of pocket costs incurred by the Indemnified Party, and any increase of premium in connection therewith), and (ii) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any other Person with respect to such Losses (after giving

effect to any out of pocket costs incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith). In the event an insurance recovery or third party recovery relating to an indemnification payment is received after the Indemnifying Party has made an indemnification payment under this Agreement that did not take into account such insurance recovery or third party recovery, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the lesser of such insurance recovery or third party recovery (net of any applicable deductible or retention, any out of pocket costs incurred by the Indemnified Party, and any increase of premium in connection therewith, as applicable), as applicable, and the amount of the related indemnification payment. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of Losses for which it may be entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Buyer Indemnitees shall not have any obligation to assert any claims with, or otherwise seek to recover any amounts from, their respective insurers with respect to any matters for which they may be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 9.6. Reserved.

Section 9.7. Remedies Exclusive. EXCEPT FOR FRAUD AND EQUITABLE RELIEF, INCLUDING THAT CONTEMPLATED BY SECTION 10.11, THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IX SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE OTHER INDEMNITEES NAMED HEREIN AND THEIR HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AFTER THE CLOSING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY BREACH OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN OR ANY OTHER MATTERS OR CLAIMS ARISING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer, for itself and on behalf of Buyer Indemnitees hereby waives, from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights and claims for damages or Losses it may have against Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries arising under, based upon or relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, any applicable Law, common law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any recourse Buyer Indemnitees may have against the R&W Policy or otherwise as expressly set forth in this Article IX.

Section 9.8. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. For all Tax purposes, the parties agree to treat indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration Amount to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 9.9. No Circular Recovery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller Indemnitees shall not make any claim for indemnification against the Buyer Indemnitees by reason of the fact that any Seller Indemnitee was a controlling person, director/manager, officer, employee or representative of any of the Acquired Companies or was serving as such for another Person at the request of any of the Acquired Companies (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any applicable Law, Contractual Obligations or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any

of the transactions contemplated hereby. With respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Seller Indemnitees expressly waive any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Acquired Companies with respect to any amounts owed by the Security Holders hereunder. Neither any Seller Indemnitee nor Buyer Indemnitee is to be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to this Article IX to the extent such Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee has previously recovered the full cash amount of such Losses pursuant to another provision of this Agreement, including to the extent that such Losses were included in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital. For purposes of calculating Losses to which any Buyer Indemnitees are entitled under this Article IX, (i) such Losses shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement; (ii) such Losses shall not include Losses related to any matter that was taken into account (including with respect to any reserves) in the determination and calculation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration Amount; (iii) such Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any prior or subsequent recovery by a Buyer Indemnitee from any other Person with respect to such Losses; provided, however, that such Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Security Holders for any subsequent recoveries for such sources if previously indemnified hereunder so as to avoid a double recovery; and (iv) such Losses shall not include Losses reserved for in the Financials.

Section 9.10. Effect on R&W Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in Article IX shall limit any rights of Buyer pursuant to the R&W Policy, it being understood and agreed that the survival provisions set forth in Section 9.1 and the other limitations in the other subsections of Article IX are not applicable to, and shall not in any way limit, claims under the R&W Policy, except as and to the extent expressly set forth in the R&W Policy.

Section 10.2. Succession and Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties, and any attempt to do so will be null and void ab initio, provided, that no consent shall be required in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 6.5(c); provided, further, that Buyer may at any time in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Party assign, in whole or in part, its rights under this Agreement for collateral purposes to any creditor of Buyer, but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any Liability hereunder. Except as set forth in Section 6.7, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any right, benefit or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.3. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended other than in an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and the Seller Representative.

Section 10.4. Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any Party may extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts required to be performed by another Party hereunder, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of another Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and waive compliance with any of such Party’s agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument

in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other (or further) exercise thereof or of any other right. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred hereby, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

Section 10.5. Disclosure Schedule. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. To the extent any such additional matters are included, they are included for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Headings and subheadings have been inserted in the Disclosure Schedule for convenience of reference only and shall not have the effect of amending or changing the express description thereof as set forth in this Agreement. Disclosure of any fact or item in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure would apply to such other Sections. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such amounts, higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material or are within or outside the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Disclosure Schedule in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter is or is not required to be disclosed (including, whether such amounts or items are or are not material), or may constitute an event or condition which could be considered to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. No matter or item disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule admitting or indicating a possible breach or violation of any contract, law or order shall be construed as an admission or indication that an actual breach or violation exists, has actually occurred or will occur. The Parties do not assume any responsibility to any Person that is not a Party to this Agreement for the accuracy of any information set forth in the Schedules. Subject to applicable law, the information on the Disclosure Schedule is disclosed in confidence for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement and is subject to the confidentiality provisions of any other agreements, including the Confidentiality Agreement. Moreover, in disclosing the information in the Disclosure Schedule, each Party expressly does not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

Section 10.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Disclosure Schedule (including all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto) and other documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior representations, agreements, understandings and undertakings, whether written or oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 10.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf)), each of which will be deemed an original, which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement will be deemed effective when duly executed and delivered by each Party.

Section 10.8. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to the Parties. Upon such determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner such that that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 10.9. Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. The law, including the statutes of limitation, of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement of its terms and any claim or cause of action (in law or equity), controversy or dispute arising out of or related to it or its negotiation, execution or performance, whether based on contract, tort, statutory or other law, in each case without giving effect to any conflicts-of-law or other principle requiring the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Each of the Company, Buyer Entities and the Seller Representative hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the Contemplated Transactions (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Chosen Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Chosen Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties hereto agrees, (a) to the extent such Party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such Party’s agent for acceptance of legal process and (b) that service of process may also be made on such Party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such Party personally within the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any and all disputes relating to the Closing Statement shall be exclusively resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4.

Section 10.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 10.11. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that an award of money damages would be inadequate in such event. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged that the Parties and the third party beneficiaries of this Agreement shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or orders for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any order sought by the Company and/or the Seller Representative to cause Buyer and/or Merger Sub to perform its agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.11 and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Section 10.12. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Company, the Security Holders, the Buyer Entities and the Seller Representative shall pay all of their own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants.

Section 10.13. Nonrecourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement) and the transactions contemplated hereby, may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties in the preamble to this Agreement and the Security Holders (collectively, the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the

foregoing (in each case who is not a Contracting Party) (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, 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, except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, 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. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to the last sentence hereof, effective at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation (each a “Releasor”), on behalf of itself and its respective officers, directors, equityholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Security Holders, the Seller Representative, and each of their respective past, present and future officers, managers, directors, equityholders, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, counsel and agents (each, a “Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, which such Releasor or its successors or assigns ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to or from and after the Closing Date. Subject to the last sentence hereof, each Releasor agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective officers, directors, equityholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns, not to, assert any claim against the Releasees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Buyer shall retain, and its successors and assigns retain, and do not release, any of their rights against the Releasees under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreement, (x) Buyer shall retain, and its successors and assigns retain, and do not release, their rights with respect to Fraud, (y) Buyer shall retain, and its successors and assigns, retain, and do not release, their rights with respect to making a claim against the R&W Policy, and (z) nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to affect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ rights in respect of any employee thereof.

Section 10.14. Representation. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Security Holders, shall have the right, at its election, to retain the firm of Xxxx Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC (“BBS”) to represent the Security Holders in such matter and Buyer and Merger Sub hereby irrevocably consent to, and waive any conflict associated with, any such representation in any such matter. Each of the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that BBS has acted as counsel for the Company and no other Person, in connection with this Agreement. The parties agree that the fact that BBS has represented the Company prior to the Closing shall not prevent BBS from representing the Security Holders or the Seller Representative in connection with any matters involving this Agreement, including any disputes between any of the Parties hereto that may arise after the Closing. The Company, Buyer and Merger Sub hereby waive any actual or potential conflict of interest relating to BBS’s representation of the Security Holders or the Seller Representative in the Contemplated Transactions. Buyer, on behalf of itself and its

Affiliates, including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation (and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons and representatives and their respective successors and assigns), hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all attorney-client communications between, on the one hand, any Security Holder and/or the Company (and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons and representatives) and, on the other hand, their counsel, including BBS, that specifically relate to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or in connection with the Closing of the Contemplated Transactions, shall be deemed privileged communications as to which such privilege may only be waived by the Seller Representative and only in connection with disputes between the Parties relating to this Agreement, and neither Buyer nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer will seek to obtain any such privileged communications by any process.

Section 10.15. Buyer Guarantee. Buyer agrees to take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to perform all of its respective agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement on a timely basis. Buyer unconditionally guarantees to the Company the full and complete performance by each of Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, of its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, under this Agreement. Buyer hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Merger Sub and/or the Surviving Corporation, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 10.15 or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Section 10.16. Time of the Essence; Further Assurances. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. If the date specified for giving any notice or taking any action is not a Business Day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any action taken expires on a date which is not a Business Day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next date which is a Business Day. From and after the Closing, each Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments and other documents and will take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party(ies) as necessary or appropriate to effectuate, carry out and comply with all of the terms of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 10.17. Intervention and Limited Guarantee by Amedisys.

(a) Amedisys represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing:

(i) Amedisys is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware.

(ii) Amedisys has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. All corporate acts or proceedings required to be taken by Amedisys to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of Amedisys’ obligations hereunder have been properly taken.

(iii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Amedisys and, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution, and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Seller Representative, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Amedisys, Enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(iv) Except as set forth in Section 5.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Amedisys and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (a) violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of Amedisys, (b) violate any material Law applicable to, binding upon, or Enforceable against Amedisys, (c) result in any material breach of, or constitute a material default (or an event which would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a material default) under, or give rise to a right of payment under or the right to terminate, amend, modify, abandon, or accelerate, any Contractual Obligation to which Amedisys is a party or bound, (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the material property or material assets of Amedisys, or (e) require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person.

(b) Amedisys hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely a surety, to the Security Holders (i) the performance of all obligations of Buyer under this Agreement to the extent such obligations are to be performed prior to or at the Closing and (ii) the due and punctual payment by Buyer of all payments owing by Buyer pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of this Agreement (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantee by Amedisys set forth in clause (i) above shall terminate upon consummation of the Closing. The guarantee by Amedisys set forth in this Section shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Security Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Amedisys or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. This is a guarantee of payment and performance, as applicable, and not of collection only. The Security Holders shall not be required to make any demand upon, or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, Buyer prior to exercising its rights under this Section, and no delay or omission on the part of the Security Holders in exercising rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of such rights or remedies. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Amedisys hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Security Holders (but, for the avoidance of doubt, does not waive any right or defense arising under any provision of this Agreement that requires election of remedies by the Security Holders). Amedisys waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of incurrence of the

Guaranteed Obligations and all other notices of any kind, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Buyer or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect and all suretyship defenses generally (other than defenses to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that are available to Buyer under this Agreement).
