To the extent the Buyer Indemnitees use the Stock Escrow Amount (but only after the Equity Holder Cash Escrow Amount is first used in its entirety), such stock shall be valued at the Buyer Stock Value. The Escrow Amount, as increased from time to time by interest accruing thereon and as reduced from time to time by any indemnifiable Losses under Section 10.2 paid out of the escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”), will be held by the Escrow Agent until distributed in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 10.5 of this Agreement. Upon release of the Escrow Disbursement Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, each Equity Holder shall receive an amount equal to his, her or its Cash Escrow Amount Pro-Rata Portion and Stock Escrow Amount Pro-Rata Portion of the Escrow Disbursement Amount.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the portion of the Merger Consideration that is included in the Escrow Amount with respect to the Vested Company Options described in Section 2.4 of this Agreement is subject to substantial limitations or restrictions and is subject to the claims of the Surviving Corporation’s creditors such that such portion of the consideration is not constructively received by the holders for Tax purposes at the time of Closing and is not intended to be compensation or wages, or subject to withholding as such, until the distribution of such portion of the Escrow Amount (if any), (ii) the portion of the Carve-Out Plan Amount that is included in the Escrow Amount with respect to the Carve-Out Plan Participants described in Section 2.8 of this Agreement is subject to substantial limitations or restrictions such that such portion of the Carve-Out Plan is not constructively received by the Carve-Out Plan Participants for Tax purposes at the time of Closing and is not intended to be compensation or wages, or subject to withholding as such, until the distribution of such portion of the Escrow Amount (if any) is determined, and (iii) the portion of the Merger Consideration that is included in the Escrow Amount other than that portion described in clause (i) above is intended to be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of Section 453 of the Code, and no party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with such characterizations except to the extent required pursuant to a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(c) The parties further agree that, consistent with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8, for Tax reporting purposes, all interest or other income earned from the investment of the Equity Holder Cash Escrow Amount or any portion thereof in any taxable year shall be reported as allocated to Buyer until the distribution of the Escrow Amount (or portions thereof) is determined (with associated tax distribution rights as set forth in the Escrow Agreement) and thereafter to Buyer and the Shareholders in accordance with their respective interests in the Equity Holder Cash Escrow Amount consistent with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8. Any portion of any payments or distributions to the Shareholders that is treated as interest under Section 483 of Code or otherwise shall be treated as portfolio interest under Section 871(h) of the Code. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement are each intended by the parties to be a book entry system maintained by Buyer in accordance with Section 163(f) of the Code for purposes of qualifying the Escrow Amount as an obligation in registered form of Buyer under Section 871(h) of the Code. No Company Indemnifying Party shall assign its interest in the Equity Holder Cash Escrow Amount to any person permitted by the Escrow Agreement without first obtaining the consent of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative in writing of such transfer.

(d) From and after the Closing, each Equity Holder shall be entitled to vote such Equity Holder’s Stock Consideration Pro-Rata Portion of the Stock Escrow Amount on all matters presented for approval of the stockholders of Buyer and shall be entitled to all dividends or other distributions with respect to such Stock Escrow Amount.

2.9 Withholding. Each of the Company and Buyer (and their Subsidiaries), as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted and withheld from amounts otherwise payable to any person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under any provision of federal state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any amounts so deducted, withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.10 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that consistent with the terms of this Agreement any further assignments or assurances required by applicable Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, title to and possession of any property or right of either of the Company or Merger Sub I acquired or to be acquired by reason of, or as a result of, the Merger, or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company or Merger Sub I and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments and assurances required by applicable Law and to do all acts necessary or proper to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such property or rights in the Surviving Corporation and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement; and the officers and managers of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of either of the Company or Merger Sub I to take any and all such action.

2.11 Second Merger.

(a) Immediately after the Effective Time, Buyer will cause the Surviving Corporation to merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and together with the Merger, the “Mergers”) and the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Corporation shall thereupon cease and Merger Sub II shall be the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”) in the Second Merger.

(b) At the effective time of the Second Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation shall automatically be converted into a membership interest in the Surviving Entity representing one hundred percent (100%) of the equity ownership interests in the Surviving Entity.

(c) With respect to any time following the Second Merger, references herein to the Surviving Corporation shall refer to the Surviving Entity.

2.12 Adjustment to Merger Consideration to Preserve Intended Tax Treatment of Mergers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the Mergers, the aggregate amount of the Buyer Stock payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement that must be included in the measurement of “continuity of interest” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(2) (the “40% COI Test”) shall not be less than forty percent (40%) of the aggregate of all amounts that must be included in the measurement of continuity of interest pursuant to the 40% COI Test calculated, solely for this purpose, by assuming the entire Escrow Amount and the Holdback Closing Cash were fully paid to the Equity Holders as Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement and using the Agreement Date Closing Price of Buyer Stock rather than the Buyer Stock Value for the purpose of this calculation (such requirement, the “COI Requirement”). In the event the amount of Buyer Stock otherwise payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4 would be insufficient for the Mergers to satisfy the COI Requirement, then the amount of Buyer Stock otherwise payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be increased (with a corresponding decrease in the amount of the cash otherwise payable as Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4 and with the adjustment to each of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration being based on the Agreement Date Closing Price) to the extent necessary for the Mergers to meet the COI Requirement, it being understood that such adjustment shall be made in a manner that results in the lowest increase in payment of Buyer Stock pursuant to this Section 2.12 necessary to satisfy the COI Requirement and; provided further, that, in the event an adjustment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.12 on the Closing Date would result in the issuance of more than 19.99% of the total shares outstanding of Buyer Stock as of the date of such calculation, requiring Buyer’s stockholders to consent to the Merger according to NASDAQ rules and regulations, Buyer shall, at its option, solicit such stockholder consent, exercise its termination right, or be subject to the termination provisions set forth in Section 9.1. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.12 shall apply cumulatively to payments of Merger Consideration after the Closing Date.

2.13 Carve-out Plan. On the Closing Date, the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall pay each of the Carve-out Plan Participants their respective share of the Carve-out Plan Amount (after any reductions pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(iv), if any), pursuant to the terms of the Carve-out Plan, through the Buyer’s or the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, subject to any required withholding for applicable Taxes. For purposes of clarification, the Carve-out Plan Amount shall be subject to the indemnification obligations under Article X.

Each of the Company’s employees who accepts an offer of employment with the Buyer and actually becomes employed with Buyer is hereafter referred to as a “Continuing Employee.” All Continuing Employees will be employed by Buyer on an at-will basis (terminable with or without cause and with or without notice) except for Continuing Employees located in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the “at will” employment concept. Continuing Employees shall receive standard employee benefits offered by Buyer to its employees of comparable status and, to the extent that Continuing Employees participate in any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Buyer Plans”), then, subject to applicable Law, for purposes of determining (i) eligibility to participate and vesting and, (ii) solely with respect to any Buyer Plan that provides for severance, vacation or paid-time off benefits, for purposes of benefit accrual, service with the Company prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent recognized by the Company prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that payments for all such service due and owing prior to the Closing shall be paid by the Company prior to the Closing and such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits and Buyer shall not be required to provide credit for such service for eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual purposes under any Buyer Plan that is an equity compensation plan, defined benefit pension plan or post-retirement medical plan.

This Agreement shall not affect the “at will” employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries and does not constitute an agreement to employ any Person or provide any level of wages, salary or benefits to any Persons for any duration. Continuing Employees shall be eligible to receive awards under Buyer’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan as set forth in each such Continuing Employee’s offer of employment or, if not set forth therein, at Buyer’s sole discretion.

(d) No Right to Continued Employment or Benefits. Buyer is under no obligation to hire or retain any of the Company’s employees, independent contractors or consultants, or provide any particular benefits or make any payments to those employees, independent contractors or consultants whom the Buyer chooses not to employ or subsequently terminates, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as set forth in this Agreement.

(e) Section 280G calculations. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) days prior to Closing, the Company will make available to Buyer true and correct copies of preliminary Section 280G calculations (based on the assumptions set forth in the applicable calculations) with respect to each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) who is reasonably likely to receive payments or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code.

(f) Termination of Company Benefit Plans. Effective immediately prior to the Closing, the Group Companies will terminate any and all Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and effective immediately prior to the Closing none of the Company’s employees shall have any right thereafter to contribute any amounts to any Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. At the request of Buyer, the Company will provide Buyer with evidence that each such Company Benefit Plan has been terminated effective immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary, as applicable. In addition, at the request of Buyer, the Group Companies will terminate any and all other Company Benefit Plans, including any group health, dental, severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective either immediately prior to the Closing or thereafter as specified by Buyer and, at the request of Buyer, the Company will provide Buyer with evidence that such Company Benefit Plans have been so terminated pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary, as applicable. The Company shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Benefit Plans as Buyer may reasonably require.

If the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Agent has provided any Person (other than Buyer’s or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Agents) with any confidential information or data relating to a Proposal, they shall request the immediate return thereof. The Company shall notify Buyer immediately if any inquiries, proposals or offers related to a Proposal are received by, any confidential information or data is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions related to a Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with, it, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates or, to its Knowledge, any other Agent.

7.1 Tax Returns for Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared (in a manner consistent with prior practice to the extent consistent with applicable laws) and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Group Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall provide Shareholders’ Representative with copies of all such Tax Returns for its review and comment at least forty (40) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (including any applicable extensions thereof) and make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Shareholders’ Representative at least ten (10) days prior to such applicable filing deadline (including any applicable extensions thereof).

7.2 Tax Returns for Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date.

(a) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of a Group Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). Buyer shall provide Shareholders’ Representative with copies of all such Tax Returns for its review and comment at least forty (40) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (including any applicable extensions thereof) and make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Shareholders’ Representative at least ten (10) days prior to such applicable filing deadline (including any applicable extensions thereof).

(b) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be:

(i) In the case of Taxes imposed real or personal property Taxes or similar taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and

(ii) In the case of Taxes not described in (i) above (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible)), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

7.3 Amendments to Tax Returns. Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company to (a) make or change any Tax election that has any retroactive effect on any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (b) amend or cause to be amended any Tax Return of the Company (or file any new Tax Return of the Company in a jurisdiction with which the Company has not previously filed Tax Returns) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such election, filing or amendment would not give rise to or increase the Shareholders liability pursuant to this Agreement.

7.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer, each Group Company and the Shareholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Group Company agrees (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity, and (ii) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, to allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders’ Representative, and the Shareholders, shall cooperate fully (including the sharing of documentation and information within its possession), as reasonably requested by Buyer so that the Group Companies may determine the portion of their net operating losses or other tax attributes subject to limitation under Sections 382, 383, 384 of the Code or the federal consolidated return regulations (or any corresponding or similar provision of the state, local or foreign income Tax Law) as of the Closing Date and comply with their associated Tax Return preparation requirements.

(b) Buyer shall promptly notify the Shareholders’ Representative upon receipt by Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer (including the Merger Sub II after the Closing Date) of written notice of any Tax Contests or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which any of the Shareholders may be liable under this Agreement. Following the Closing, Buyer shall control the conduct of any such Tax Contest; provided, however, Buyer shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Contest that may increase the Tax liability of the Shareholders or that would give rise to an indemnification claim pursuant to this Agreement without the consent of the Shareholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall keep the Shareholders’ Representative fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Contest. Buyer shall, in good faith, allow the Shareholders’ Representative to make comments to Buyer regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

7.5 Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by the Shareholders. Buyer will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

7.6 Tax-Free Reorganization. The Parties hereto intend, consistent with the terms and limitations set forth in Section 2.12, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 354(a)(1) of the Code, and to cause, consistent with the terms and limitations set forth in Section 2.12, the Mergers to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Parties hereto agree, consistent with the terms and limitations set forth in Section 2.12, that (a) no Party to this Agreement shall take, nor shall permit any Subsidiary, Affiliate, representative or “related person” (within the meaning of such term as used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1) to take, any action that would be inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment or would cause the Mergers to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code except to the extent required by a Taxing Authority in connection with an audit or other Tax proceeding and (b) the Parties required by applicable law (as well as any applicable Subsidiary, Affiliate, representative or “related person” (within the meaning of such term as used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1)) shall prepare all books, records, and filings, including all required Tax Returns, and otherwise act in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment except to the extent required by a Taxing Authority in connection with an audit or other Tax proceeding.

(c) No Buyer Indemnitee may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i)(other than with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation or with respect to fraud or intentional wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary), unless and until indemnifiable Losses exceed $250,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case the Buyer Indemnitee may recover all indemnifiable Losses (including the amount of the Threshold.

(d) Subject to any exception set forth in Section 10.4(c) or the terms of the Consulting Agreements in no event shall any Company Indemnifying Party be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees (i) under Section 10.2(a) other than with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation, in any amount in excess of such Company Indemnifying Party’s Indemnification Pro-Rata Portion and from any source other than the Escrow Fund, and (ii) under (A) Section 10.2(a)(i) with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representations, (B) under Section 10.2(a)(ii)-(xii) or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and (C) for fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company, for any Company Indemnifying Party, in any amount in excess of the Merger Consideration or Carve-out Plan Amount actually received by such Company Indemnifying Party, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of a Company Indemnifying Party for fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Company Indemnifying Party.

(e) Subject to Section 10.2(d) and the terms of the Consulting Agreements, in the event the Losses for which the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification hereunder exceed the Escrow Fund (the “Priority Indemnification Amounts”), the Buyer Indemnitees will have the right to receive such remaining Losses (after first exhausting the Priority Indemnification Amounts) from the Company Indemnifying Parties on a several, but not joint basis, in accordance with their respective Indemnification Pro-Rata Portion to the fullest extent permitted under Article X; provided, however, that no Company Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in excess of the amount of the Merger Consideration and Carve-out Plan Amount actually received by such Company Indemnifying Party, as applicable.

(f) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except in the case of a claim against a Company Indemnifying Party for fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Company Indemnifying Party, from and after the Closing, the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all matters arising out of, relating to or connected with this Agreement, the Group Companies and their respective assets and liabilities and the Merger shall be pursuant to the indemnification set forth in Article X and the Consulting Agreements.

(g) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach or other violation of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, certificate or certification.

10.3 Reduction in Escrow Amount.

(a) Promptly after the discovery by any Buyer Indemnitee of any Losses, claims or breaches that give rise to indemnification hereunder, the Buyer Indemnitees will deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative and Escrow Agent notice of a claim (a “Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and (ii) to the extent known by the Buyer Indemnitee, set forth a reasonable estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of a Buyer Indemnitee in so notifying the Shareholders’ Representative will limit any Buyer Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article X (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such proceeding).

(b) In the event that the Shareholders’ Representative disputes any determination by a Buyer Indemnitee to pay to itself or any other Buyer Indemnitee, the Shareholders’ Representative shall notify the Buyer Indemnitee and Escrow Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Notice of Claim of such dispute (the “Dispute Notice”). Such Dispute Notice will describe the grants for each objection in reasonable detail, the basis for such disputed item and certify that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith. If the Shareholders’ Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Buyer Indemnitee of such Notice of Claim, then the Shareholders’ Representative will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Notice of Claim and will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to the amount of Losses at issue in the Notice of Claim and shall, subject to the limitation in this Article X, instruct the Escrow Agent to release such amount of Losses to be promptly paid. In the event the Shareholders’ Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to the Buyer Indemnitee, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days of receipt of such Dispute Notice. If such dispute is not so resolved within such 60-day period, then either Party will be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving the claims for indemnification.

10.4 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any claim or demand, or other circumstance or state of facts which could give rise to any claim or demand, for which a Company Indemnifying Party may be liable to a Buyer Indemnitee hereunder is asserted or sought to be collected by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the Buyer Indemnitee shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative and Escrow Agent a Notice of Claim with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Notice of Claim shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and (ii) to the extent known by the Buyer Indemnitee, set forth a reasonable estimate of the amount to which such Buyer Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder. The Buyer Indemnitee shall enclose with the Notice of Claim a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any, and any other documents evidencing such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of a Buyer Indemnitee in so notifying the Shareholders’ Representative will limit any Buyer Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article X (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such proceeding).

(b) The Shareholders’ Representative will have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Shareholders’ Representative received the Notice of Claim to notify the Buyer Indemnitee that the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties) desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and the sole cost and expense of the Company Indemnifying Parties (a “Third Party Defense”). If the Shareholders’ Representative assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith, (i) the Buyer Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim but the Shareholders’ Representative shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Buyer Indemnitee will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) the Shareholders’ Representative will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Parties will act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims. The Parties will also cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto to the extent permitted by applicable Law or applicable contractual restrictions, subject to entering into appropriate confidentiality agreements.

(c) If the Shareholders’ Representative does not assume the Third Party Defense within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense (and, if it is ultimately determined that the Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 or 11.13, as applicable, at the expense of the Company Indemnifying Parties) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Shareholders’ Representative; provided that the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at the sole cost and expense of the Company Indemnifying Parties, but the Buyer Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shareholders’ Representative informed of material developments and events relating to such claim or legal proceeding, including receiving copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Buyer Indemnitee. Failure to provide such information shall not constitute a breach of this provision, unless such failure causes measurable harm to the Company Indemnifying Parties. Buyer Indemnitee will not consent to the entry for any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event may the Shareholders’ Representative assume, maintain control of, or participate in, the defense of any proceeding or any Third Party Defense (i) involving criminal liability on the part of any Buyer Indemnitee or (ii) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against a Buyer Indemnitee, or assume or maintain control of the defense of any proceeding involving Losses in excess of the value of any remaining the Priority Indemnification Amounts.

10.5 Distributions to Shareholders. On the Escrow Release Date, the Escrow Agent will distribute the amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund to the Company Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Disbursement Amount”), less any amount equal to the amount reasonably necessary, as determined in good faith by the Buyer Indemnitees, to serve as security for a pending claim pursuant to which the Buyer Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2, in which case the remaining Escrow Disbursement Amount shall be released promptly to the Company Indemnifying Parties after the final resolution of such claim(s).

10.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made pursuant to this ARTICLE X as an adjustment to Merger Consideration.

(iv) to receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds on behalf of any Company Indemnifying Party;

(v) to receive funds for the payment of expenses of such Company Indemnifying Party and apply such funds in payment for such expenses;

(vi) to cause the distribution of any unused portion of the Expense Fund Amount to the Equity Holders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(vii) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of such Company Indemnifying Party that the Shareholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Company Indemnifying Party could do if personally present; and

(viii) to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

(b) The Shareholders’ Representative may resign at any time by providing Buyer a minimum of twenty (20) days’ advance written notice and a successor Shareholders’ Representative, reasonably acceptable to Buyer, shall be appointed by a majority in interest of the Equity Holders. The appointment of the Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Buyer, the Merger Subs and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Shareholders’ Representative in all matters referred to herein. All notices required to be made or delivered by Buyer or the Merger Subs to the Company after the Closing described above shall be made to the Shareholders’ Representative for the benefit of such Company Indemnifying Party and shall discharge in full all notice requirements of Buyer, any Buyer Indemnitee or the Merger Subs as applicable, to such Company Indemnifying Party with respect thereto. The Shareholders’ Representative shall act for the Company Indemnifying Parties on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Shareholders’ Representative reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company Indemnifying Parties and consistent with the obligations of the Company Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement, but none of the Shareholders’ Representative, Buyer, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer Indemnitees shall be responsible to any Company Indemnifying Party for any damages which the Company Indemnifying Parties may suffer by the performance of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, except that the Shareholders’ Representative shall be solely responsible for all damages arising from willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Shareholders’ Representative. By virtue of approval of this Agreement by the Shareholders, the consummation of the Merger, the Equity Holders’ participation and receipt of the Merger Consideration, each Company Indemnifying Party agrees to reimburse the Shareholders’ Representative for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement, including fees for any attorneys or other representative it may employ.

(c) The Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by the Company, any Company Indemnifying Party, Buyer, the Merger Subs or any other evidence deemed by the Shareholders’ Representative to be reliable, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to act on the advice of counsel selected by it.

(d) The Company Indemnifying Parties hereby agree to severally (based on each such Company Indemnifying Party’s respective Indemnification Pro-Rata Portion) indemnify and defend the Shareholders’ Representative against, and to hold the Shareholders’ Representative harmless from, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Shareholders’ Representative Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the Shareholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Shareholders’ Representative Expense is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Shareholders’ Representative Expense is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Shareholders’ Representative, the Shareholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Shareholders’ Representative Expenses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Shareholders’ Representative by the Company Indemnifying Parties, any such Shareholders’ Representative Expenses may be recovered by the Shareholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Indemnifying Parties; provided, that while this section allows the Shareholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Shareholders’ Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Shareholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Shareholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Indemnifying Parties or otherwise. The Company Indemnifying Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Shareholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the Shareholders’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Shareholders’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Closing, Buyer shall wire to the Shareholders’ Representative the Expense Fund Amount pursuant to wire instructions provided to Buyer, which shall be held by the Shareholders’ Representative and shall be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Shareholders’ Representative for, any third party expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, Paying Agent Agreement or any Shareholders’ Representative letter agreement (the “Expense Fund”). The Shareholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds. The Company Indemnifying Parties shall not receive interest or other earnings on amounts in the Expense Fund and the Company Indemnifying Parties irrevocably transfer and assign to the Shareholders’ Representative any ownership right that the Company Indemnifying Parties may have in any interest or other earnings that may accrue on amounts in the Expense Fund. The Company Indemnifying Parties acknowledge that the Shareholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Contemporaneous with or as soon as practicable following the completion of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties, the Shareholders’ Representative will deliver the balance of the Expense Fund (if any) to the Escrow Agent for further distribution to the Equity Holders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For Tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equity Holders, other than the Vested Option Holders, at the time of Closing. The portion of the Expense Fund with respect to the Vested Company Options described in Section 2.4 of this Agreement is subject to substantial limitations or restrictions and is subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors such that such portion of the consideration is not constructively received by the holders for Tax purposes at the time of Closing and is not intended to be compensation or wages, or subject to withholding as such, until the distribution of such portion of the Expense Fund (if any).The parties agree that the Shareholders’ Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and shall have no liability for any tax reporting with respect to the final distribution of the Expense Fund to the Equity Holders by the Escrow Agent.
