This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 18, 2015, by and among NetApp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Sonoma Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), SolidFire, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and, solely in its capacity as the stockholder representative, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Stockholder Representative”).

RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of each of Parent, Sub and Company believe it is in the best interests of each corporation and its respective stockholders that Parent acquire Company through the statutory merger of Sub with and into Company (the “Merger”) and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

B. Pursuant to the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, among other things, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Company shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein.

C. Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Sub, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger.

D. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a material inducement to Parent and Sub to enter into this Agreement, all of the Selected Key Employees are entering into a Restrictive Covenant Agreement, each in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreements”), with Parent and Company.

E. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement as a material inducement to Parent and Sub to enter into this Agreement, all of the Key Employees are entering into agreements with Parent regarding their continued employment with the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time (the “Employment Agreements”).

F. The parties hereto intend to execute this Agreement under seal.

G. APPENDIX I of this Agreement contains definitions for certain defined terms used in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other premises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”), Sub shall be merged with and into Company, the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease, and Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Surviving Corporation.”

-1-

1.2 Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place on the later of (a) February 2, 2016 and (b) the fifth (5^th) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, unless another time or place is mutually agreed upon in Writing by Parent and Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Closing be required to occur during the last two calendar weeks of any fiscal quarter of Parent. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”), in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the time of the acceptance of such filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Company and Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is SolidFire, Inc.”

(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

1.5 Directors and Officers.

(a) Directors of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

(b) Officers of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

-2-

1.6 Effect of Merger on the Securities of the Constituent Corporations.

(a) Effect on Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Sub, Company or the Company Stockholders, each outstanding share of Company Capital Stock (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Company RSUs, Company Unvested Common Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 1.8, will be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares of Company Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.11, an amount equal to (i) the Per Share Common Amount, plus, (ii) the Post-Closing Payments, if any, attributable to such share, as set forth in the Closing Allocation Schedule, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each share of Company Capital Stock that is owned by Company as treasury stock shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each share of Company Unvested Common Stock that does not otherwise vest under the terms of an agreement existing as of the date hereof shall be cancelled and extinguished without consideration. For purposes of calculating the amount of cash payable, if any, to each Company Stockholder pursuant to this section, all shares of Company Capital Stock held by each Company Stockholder shall be aggregated on a certificate-by-certificate basis. The amount of cash payable, if any, to each Company Stockholder for each share certificate held shall be rounded down to the nearest cent. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this section, any Dissenting Shares will be treated as set forth in Section 1.9.

(b) Effect on Company Options; Company Warrants; Company Restricted Stock Units.

(i) Vested Options. Each vested outstanding Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cashed-Out Options”) shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Option Consideration after which it shall be cancelled and extinguished. If the Per Share Conversion Common Amount does not exceed the per share exercise price of each such outstanding Company Option, then such Company Option shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof (the “Cancelled Options”) and such Company Option shall not be deemed a Cashed-Out Option. Company shall take any and all necessary action to provide for the cancellation of each Company Option in accordance with this Section 1.6(b)(i). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, through its payroll system on a special payroll run on the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall or shall direct its payroll agent to, in accordance with its customary payroll practices, pay to each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as an employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) the applicable portion of the Option Consideration (subject to applicable withholding Taxes) payable in respect of each such Cashed-Out Option (“Employee Option Consideration”); provided, that, if any such Employee Cashed-Out Holder has not executed and delivered to Parent a Cashed-Out Option Agreement (a “Cashed-Out Option Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I, as of such date, the payment to such Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery to Parent of a Cashed-Out Option Agreement. Each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as a non-employee service provider to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Non-Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) shall be paid the applicable portion of the Option Consideration by the Exchange Agent in the manner provided in Section 1.11. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Option Consideration payable with respect to any Cashed-Out Options. In no event shall any Cashed-Out Option or Cancelled Option be assumed by Parent.

-3-

(ii) Unvested Options. Each unvested outstanding Company Option held by a Continuing Employee (each an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”) and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Unvested Company Option documents (including any applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Unvested Company Option, including but not limited to any employment or other agreement providing for accelerated vesting or other terms governing such Assumed Options) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Unvested Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Rate (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption and conversion of Unvested Company Options by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option and references to Company shall become references to Parent under the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each unvested outstanding Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option shall be treated as a Cancelled Option and shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time.

(iii) Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, the vested portion of each Company Warrant that is outstanding and not exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cashed-Out Warrants”) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Warrant Consideration, and each such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished as of the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, any unvested portion of a Cashed-Out Warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall not be converted into the right to receive any consideration. For the sake of clarity, if the Per Share Conversion Common Amount does not exceed the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant, such Company Warrant shall be deemed cancelled and extinguished. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Warrant Consideration payable with respect to any Company Warrant. In no event shall any Company Warrant be assumed by Parent.

(iv) Company Restricted Stock Units. Each Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent and converted into restricted stock units covering Parent Stock, without any further action required (the “Assumed Company RSUs”). Each Assumed Company RSU shall be subject to the same terms, including vesting arrangements that were applicable to such Company RSUs immediately prior to, or at the Effective Time, and no vesting acceleration of the Assumed Company RSUs shall occur solely by reason of the Merger. Each such Assumed Company RSU shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon settlement of such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Conversion Rate. The assumption and conversion of Company RSUs by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D).

-4-

(c) Withholding Taxes. Company, the Depository Agent, the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any current or former Company Holder or to any other Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law or under any other applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity or other appropriate Person, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(d) Stockholder Loans. In the event that any Company Holder is indebted to Company as of the Effective Time, the amount of Initial Merger Consideration payable to such Company Holder pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest of such Company Holder’s indebtedness to Company (the aggregate amount of all such loans, referred to herein as the “Stockholder Loans”) as of the Effective Time. Such loans shall be satisfied as to the amount by which the consideration is reduced pursuant to this Section 1.6(d).

(e) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of common stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 Closing Statement; Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) Company shall prepare and, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, deliver to Parent a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) certified by Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which shall include (i) a schedule of the applicable payment(s) to each Person receiving payments pursuant to Section 1.10, including wire instructions for each payment pursuant to Sections 1.10(b) and 1.10(c) and the calculation of the Initial Merger Consideration; (ii) a statement of the Estimated Cash, Estimated Third Party Expenses and the Estimated Indebtedness of Company; and (iii) the Closing Allocation Schedule to be delivered in accordance with Section 5.12. The Closing Statement shall be prepared by Company in good faith, using reasonable diligence and in accordance with terms of this Agreement. The Closing Statement shall be subject to Parent’s review and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that any such consent shall not preclude or otherwise impair or limit Parent’s ability to prepare and deliver the Post-Closing Statement or dispute any amounts in the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 1.7(b).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event more than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Parent, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith determination of the (i) Cash of Company as of the Closing, (ii) Indebtedness of Company as of the Closing and (iii) Third Party Expenses.

(c) Following receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days (the “First Review Period”) to review the Post-Closing Statement. During the First Review Period (and during any time up through the Final Determination Date), the Stockholder Representative and its accountants, and their respective Representatives, shall be entitled to review the Post-Closing Statement and shall have reasonable access during regular business hours to the personnel, books and records and calculations of Company and Parent used in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement. At or prior to the end of the First Review Period, the Stockholder Representative will either (i) accept the Post-Closing Statement in its entirety, in which case the final, binding Cash as of the Closing, Indebtedness as of the Closing and Third Party Expenses will each be as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement, or (ii) deliver to Parent a Written notice (an “Objection Notice”) containing a Written explanation of those items that the Stockholder Representative disputes.

-5-

(d) In the event the Stockholder Representative delivers an Objection Notice to Parent within the First Review Period, within a further period of thirty (30) calendar days from the end of the First Review Period, the parties and, if desired, their accountants will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items and reach a Written agreement with respect thereto (a “Settlement Agreement”). In the event the parties do not execute and deliver a Settlement Agreement in the applicable time period, or execute and deliver a Settlement Agreement only in relation to certain, but not all, disputed items, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to Ernst & Young LLP (the “Arbitrating Accountants”), which Arbitrating Accountants shall be engaged by the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative pursuant to a standard engagement letter, with each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Holders) responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any upfront payables under this Section 1.7(d) (the “Upfront Expenses”).

(e) The disputed items submitted to the Arbitrating Accountants pursuant to Section 1.7(d) above will be as determined by the Arbitrating Accountants in the same manner prescribed for the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Statement. The Arbitrating Accountants shall address only those items in dispute and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed by Parent or the Stockholder Representative for such item or smaller than the smallest value claimed by Parent or the Stockholder Representative for such item in the Written reports submitted to the Arbitrating Accountants pursuant to Section 1.7(d). Such determination shall be (i) in Writing and include the resulting revised Post-Closing Statement and the resulting allocation of fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants provided by Section 1.7(f), (ii) furnished to the Stockholder Representative and Parent as soon as practicable after the items in dispute have been referred to the Arbitrating Accountants, which the parties shall request shall not be later than thirty (30) days thereafter, and (iii) an arbitral award that is final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of determining any Upward Adjustment Amount or Closing Deficiency and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) If the Arbitrating Accountants resolve all disputes presented to them entirely in the manner proposed by Parent or the Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants relating to the resolution of such dispute shall be paid by the other party. In all other events, the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be shared by the Stockholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Holders), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the Stockholder Representative’s position, on the one hand, and Parent’s position, on the other hand, initially presented to the Arbitrating Accountants, based on the aggregate of all differences taken as a whole, bear to the final resolution as determined by the Arbitrating Accountants (and subject to a true-up to account for any Upfront Expenses paid by either party). Any amounts payable to the Arbitrating Accountants as a result of indemnification claims by the Arbitrating Accountants shall be shared one half by the Stockholder Representative solely on behalf of the Company Holders, on the one hand, and one half by Parent, on the other hand.

(g) Adjustment.

(i) If the Adjusted Merger Consideration exceeds the Initial Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Upward Adjustment Amount”), then Parent shall promptly deliver to (A) the Depository Agent, for benefit of and prompt payment to the Company Holders (other than Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders), an amount equal to the portion of the Upward Adjustment Amount payable to such Company Holders and (B) the Surviving Corporation for payment to Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, in accordance with its

-6-

customary payroll practices, an amount equal to the portion of the Upward Adjustment Amount (subject to applicable withholding Taxes) payable to such Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders as specified in the Closing Allocation Schedule.

(ii) If the Initial Merger Consideration exceeds the Adjusted Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Closing Deficiency”), then Parent is hereby authorized to direct the Escrow Agent to immediately disburse the amount of such difference from the Escrow Account. Any adjustment required by this Section 1.7 shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Initial Merger Consideration paid hereunder.

(iii) Any payment required by this Section 1.7(g) shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Total Merger Consideration paid hereunder.

1.8 Escrow. Citibank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) shall serve as escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Amount shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are specific terms of the Merger, and the approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Indemnifying Parties, Stockholder Consent and the Joinder Agreements shall constitute approval by such Indemnifying Parties, as specific terms of the Merger, and the irrevocable agreement of such Indemnifying Parties to be bound by and comply with, the Escrow Agreement.

1.9 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6 hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.9(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law, as applicable, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6 hereof, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(c) Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any Written demand for appraisal received by Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Company shall not, except with the prior Written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Parent shall approve, in advance, any communication to be made by Company to any Company Stockholder with respect to such demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Company (A) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or (B) incurs any other costs or expenses, (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding or in connection with any investigation) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) (to the extent remaining payable as of the Closing Date, together, the “Dissenting Share Payments”), Parent shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Article VIII hereof.

(a) Tax Returns. Company and each of its Subsidiaries have prepared and timely filed all income and other material Tax Returns required to be filed by any of them and such Tax Returns are true, complete and correct in all material respects and have been completed in substantial compliance with applicable Laws. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received a Written claim from any Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not file Tax Returns asserting that Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be subject to Tax in that jurisdiction. Company has made available to Parent correct and complete copies of all Tax Returns filed by Company and each of its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods since December 31, 2010. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any joint venture, partnership or other arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. Company and each of its Subsidiaries have disclosed on all applicable Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a substantial understatement of U.S. federal income Tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently participating in, or has engaged in, any transaction that would constitute a “listed transaction,” or “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 or Section 6707A(c)(1) of the Code and similar state or local Tax statutes and that has not been disclosed on an applicable Tax Return.

(b) Tax Payments and Accruals. Company and each of its Subsidiaries, as of the Effective Time, will have paid all Taxes due and payable by Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time, whether or not shown on any Tax Return. The Current Balance Sheet reflects all liabilities for unpaid Taxes of Company and each of its Subsidiaries for all periods (or portions of periods) through the date of the Current Balance Sheet, and neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability for unpaid Taxes accruing after the date of the Current Balance Sheet except for Taxes arising in the Ordinary Course subsequent to the date of the Current Balance Sheet. The Closing Statement sets forth the acquisition date and tax basis of Company Capital Stock that, to the Knowledge of Company, is a “covered security” (as defined in Section 6045 of the Code).

(c) Liability for Other Person’s Taxes; Withholding. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a member of an affiliated group of corporations (other than a group the parent of which is Company) (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code) filing a consolidated

-16-

United States federal income Tax Return and neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a member of an affiliated group of corporations (other than a group the parent of which is Company) filing a consolidated, combined or unitary income Tax Return under provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law comparable to Section 1504(a) of the Code. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than Company and its Subsidiaries) under Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as a transferee or successor or by Contract (other than commercial Contracts, the principal purpose of which is not related to Taxes). Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any Tax-sharing agreement or similar arrangement (other than commercial Contracts, the principal purpose of which is not related to Taxes). Company and each of its Subsidiaries has timely reported, withheld, and remitted, as applicable, with respect to their employees and other third parties, all Taxes required to be reported and/or withheld and remitted. Company and each of its Subsidiaries has properly collected and remitted sales, use, valued added and similar Taxes with respect to sales or leases made or services provided to its customers and have properly received and retained any appropriate Tax exemption certificates or other documentation for all such sales, leases or other services made without charging or remitting sales or similar Taxes that qualify as exempt from such Taxes.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, Company shall not, nor shall Company permit any of its officers, directors, employees, Representatives or Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with any party other than Parent and its designees: (A) solicit, knowingly encourage, seek, entertain, knowingly support, assist, initiate or participate in any inquiry, negotiations or discussions, or enter into any agreement, with respect to any offer or proposal to acquire all or any material part of the business, properties or technologies of Company (other than sales of the Company Products in the Ordinary Course), or any amount of Company Capital Stock or capital stock of any Subsidiary (whether or not outstanding) (excluding in respect of the exercise of Company Options or Company Warrants outstanding as of the date hereof), whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer, license or otherwise, or effect or agree to effect any such transaction (an “Acquisition Proposal”), (B) disclose any information not customarily disclosed to any Person in the Ordinary Course concerning the business, technologies or properties of Company, or afford to any Person access to Company’s business, properties, assets, technologies, books or records, not customarily afforded such access, (C) participate, assist or cooperate with any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal, or (D) enter into any Contract with any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any such negotiations, discussion or agreements (other than with Parent) that are the subject matter of clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above. In the event that Company or any of Company’s Affiliates receives during the Pre-Closing Period, any offer, proposal, or request of the type referenced in clause (A), (C), or (D) above, or any request for disclosure or access as referenced in clause (B) above,

-39-

Company shall immediately (x) suspend any discussions with such offeror or party with regard to such offers, proposals, or requests and (y) within twenty-four (24) hours, notify Parent thereof, including information as to the identity of the offeror or the party making any such offer or proposal and the specific terms of such offer or proposal, as the case may be, and such other information related thereto as Parent may reasonably request and (z) provide Parent with a copy of any Written proposal or materials related to any such Acquisition Proposal or request for information or inquiry; provided, however, that the identity of the offeror or the party making any such offer or proposal and the specific terms of such offer or proposal, as the case may be, and such other information related thereto need not be disclosed if doing so is prohibited by the terms of any non-disclosure agreement in effect as of the date hereof.

(b) Promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, after the execution of this Agreement, Company shall, to the extent it has not done so prior to the execution of this Agreement, send to other Persons to whom confidential information was provided in connection with or with respect to any potential sale of or any other potential business combination involving Company or any of its Subsidiaries “return or destroy” notices in respect of such information.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Company Stockholders via the Requisite Stockholder Approval, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Company from furnishing information to, or engaging in negotiations or discussions with, any Person in connection with an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal by such Person, if and to the extent that (i) Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, and Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel), in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, that to do otherwise would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duty to the Company Stockholders, (ii) prior to furnishing such information to, or engaging in negotiations or discussions with, such Person, Company’s Board of Directors receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement (A) with terms no more favorable to such Person than those set forth in the non-disclosure agreement entered into with Parent and (B) under which Company is permitted to share terms of any Acquisition Proposal with Parent, (iii) Company gives Parent prompt, at least five (5) Business Days (the “Notice Period”), Written notice of its intention to take such action with respect to the Superior Proposal and attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Proposal, (iv) Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the time Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)), and (v) Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any Acquisition Proposal made by a third party to acquire all of the equity securities of Company or the consolidated total assets of Company, pursuant to a stock purchase, a merger, a consolidation or a sale of its assets, (X) on terms that Company’s Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor) to be more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company Stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX

-40-

hereof) and (Y) that is subject to no financing condition and is made by a Person who Company’s Board of Directors has reasonably concluded in good faith will have adequate sources of financing to consummate such Superior Proposal, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal.

(d) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 4.2 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that Parent shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 4.2 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that for purposes of this Section 4.2(d) any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any officer, director, Representative or Affiliate of Company shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Company.

4.3 Procedures for Requesting Parent Consent. If Company desires to take an action which would be prohibited pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement without the Written consent of Parent, prior to taking such action Company may request such Written consent by sending an e-mail or facsimile to each of:

5.4 Confidentiality. Each of Parent, Sub and Company hereby agrees that the information obtained in any investigation pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, or pursuant to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the terms of the Confidential Disclosure Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2015 (the “Confidential Disclosure Agreement”), between Company and Parent. In this regard, Company acknowledges that Parent is a publicly traded corporation and that any information obtained during the course of its due diligence could be considered to be material non-public information within the meaning of federal and state securities Laws. Accordingly, Company acknowledges and agrees not to (and shall cause its officers and employees not to) engage in any discussions, correspondence or transactions in the shares of Parent in violation of applicable securities Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall, with the prior Written consent of Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be permitted to contact customers and channel partners of Company and discuss the business of Company; provided, however, that, if desired by Company, a representative of Company shall participate in any such discussions.

-43-

5.6 Public Disclosure. No party shall issue any statement or communication to any third party (other than their respective Representatives that are bound by confidentiality restrictions) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor, without the Written consent of Parent or Company, as applicable, except that this restriction shall (a) be subject to Parent and its Affiliates’ obligation to comply with applicable securities laws and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and (b) not restrict any party from responding accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following public announcement of the Merger, the Stockholder Representative shall be permitted to publicly disclose that it has been engaged to serve as the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Merger, as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated herein. Parent and Company shall issue a mutually agreeable press release following the execution of this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT H; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, following the issuance of such press release, Parent and Company shall be permitted to issue any statement or communication consistent with the information contained in the press release.

5.7 Consents. Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of any parties to any Contract set forth on SCHEDULE 5.7, so as to preserve all rights of, and benefits to, Company under such Contract from and after the Effective Time. Such consents, waivers and approvals shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event that the other parties to any such Contract, including lessor or licensor of any Leased Real Property, conditions its grant of a consent, waiver or approval (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other termination right) upon the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration, including increased rent payments or other payments under the Contract, Company shall be responsible for making all payments required to obtain such consent, waiver or approval, which payments shall constitute Third Party Expenses and thus shall be reflected on the Closing Statement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating Parent to pay or commit to pay any amount in order to obtain any consent, waiver, or approval prior to the Closing in order to fulfill any of the conditions to Closing. To the extent any such Consent set forth on SCHEDULE 5.7 is not obtained prior to the Closing, all costs associated with and expenses incurred by Parent or Surviving Corporation in obtaining any such Consents after the Closing, including any consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration, including increased rent payments or other payments under the applicable Contract, shall be deemed Third Party Expenses for which Parent shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2.

5.8 Notification of Certain Matters. Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Sub, on the other hand, shall give prompt notice to the other party of: (a) any material notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which cause, in the case of Company, failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i), and, in the case of Parent or Sub, failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a)(i), (c) any failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, which would cause, in the case of Company, failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a)(ii), and, the case of Parent or Sub, failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a)(ii), (d) any notice or other Written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (e) with respect to Company only, the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or any condition, event, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(g) impossible or unlikely; provided,

-44-

however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not (i) limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice or (ii) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement. No disclosure by Company pursuant to this Section 5.8, however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule or prevent or cure any misrepresentations, breach of warranty or breach of covenant. No notification under this Section 5.8 shall be required with respect to matters consented to in Writing by Parent or the actual taking of actions contemplated by Section 4.1 of the Disclosure Schedule. In the event of a failure to perform any covenant set forth in this Section 5.8, the claim for the underlying matter as to which notice should have been delivered shall be made by reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement with respect to such matter and not as a breach of a covenant in this Section 5.8; claims for breach of the obligations to make the notice required by this Section 5.8 may be made by reference to this Section 5.8.

5.9 Additional Documents and Further Assurances. Each party hereto, at the request of another party hereto, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.10 Employment Arrangements.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months following the Closing (the “Transition Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies or any other Subsidiary of Parent to provide to each Continuing Employee (i) the base salary and wages at least equal to that in effect for such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) retirement and welfare benefits (other than equity or equity-related awards) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent (for the avoidance of doubt, paid time off policies shall be governed by Parent’s policies with respect to such matters). During the Transition Period, Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Acquired Companies and any other Subsidiary of Parent), to the extent employee benefits plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent replace or are substituted for currently existing Company Employee Plans; (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be waived for Continuing Employees in the United States all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods and all evidence of insurability and actively at work requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements under any group health plan of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent in which such Continuing Employees in the United States may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the corresponding group health plan in which any such Continuing Employee in the United States participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to each Continuing Employee credit in satisfying any applicable co-payments, deductibles or out-of-pocket requirements under any welfare plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent in which such Continuing Employees in the United States may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs paid under any corresponding group health plan in which any such Continuing Employee in the United States participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, in respect of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs; and (C) provide to each Continuing Employee credit for all service recognized by the Acquired Companies under a corresponding Company Employee Plan for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting under each employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Acquired Companies and any other Subsidiary of Parent in which such Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing, and for purposes of determining the amount of benefits under any severance or vacation plan, program or arrangement, or other benefit program that bases benefits in whole or in part on length of service, of Parent, the Acquired Companies and any other Subsidiary of Parent; provided, however, that in no event shall any Continuing Employee be entitled to service credit to the extent that such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of

-45-

service. In addition, Continuing Employees outside of the United States shall receive credit for vacation balances accrued but not used and as set forth on Section 2.21(a) of the Disclosure Schedule under Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ paid time off policies, as required under locally applicable Law, in which such Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time.

All severance costs, as well as amounts to be paid pursuant to applicable Laws, including expenses related thereto, resulting from or arising in connection with the termination of the Declining Employees, shall be borne by Company (the “Company Severance Expenses”).

(d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a right in any employee of the Acquired Companies to employment with Parent or, following the Effective Time, any Acquired Company, or any other Subsidiary of Parent, and, subject to any agreement between a Continuing Employee and Parent, an Acquired Company or any other Subsidiary of Parent, the employment of each Continuing Employee will be “at will” employment, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

5.11 Termination of Employee Plans; Employee Matters.

(a) No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each Acquired Company shall terminate any Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”), unless Parent provides Written notice that such 401(k) Plans shall not be terminated, which notice shall be provided not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Unless Parent provides such Written notice to Company, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors of Company or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be.

-46-

such retirement plan of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, of their account balances, including loans, maintained by them under the Acquired Companies’ 401(k) Plans. Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) of the Acquired Companies as Parent may reasonably require; provided that Parent provides notice of such requested action no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. In the event that termination of a 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees other than ordinary administrative expenses incurred in connection with the plan freeze and termination then Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in Writing to Parent no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing (or such later time as directed by Parent), Company shall take all necessary action to adopt and approve the 2016 Company Option Plan and form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“the Company RSU Agreement”) attached hereto as EXHIBIT J (the “2016 Company Option Plan”) and grant under the 2016 Company Option Plan to each individual designated by Parent in consultation with Company’s Chief Executive Officer an award of that number of restricted stock units covering shares of Company Common Stock as may be directed by Parent in consultation with Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the 2016 Company Option Plan and Company RSU Agreement (the “Company RSUs”), contingent upon and subject to the consummation of the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company RSUs value shall not be included in the Total Merger Consideration and the grant of Company RSU shall have no effect on the amount of Total Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants.

Company shall provide Parent evidence that such plans have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the boards of directors of Company and of its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.13 No Liability for New Employees or Former Employees. In the event the Merger is not consummated, the parties hereto agree that neither Parent nor Sub shall have any liability for (i) any employees hired by Company after the date hereof and (ii) any employees that terminate their employment with Company after the date hereof.

5.14 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Parent and Sub agree that all rights to indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the current and former directors and officers of the Acquired Companies (each a “Covered Person”) shall survive the Merger and therefore shall be enforceable against the Surviving Corporation in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Company shall obtain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” officer and director liability insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in scope at least as favorable as Company’s existing policies (with no denigration of Side B or Side C coverage) covering the current and former directors and officers of the Acquired Companies and the Acquired Companies themselves and such payment shall constitute a Third Party Expense. The tail shall be purchased with a $5 million limit with full coverage for pre-Closing alleged wrongful acts; the additional $2 million above the current $3 million in coverage shall be obtained, if required by the insurer, by the execution of a well-negotiated warranty statement by Company that includes full severability, if possible. Such tail policies shall continue to name SolidFire, Inc. as the insured entity with unrestricted access to make claims under Side B and C coverage (but shall not in any way make Parent an insured for purposes of any insurer vs insured or entity vs insured exclusion). Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts so that such tail policies are no less favorable than Company’s existing policies with respect to any coverage, including any exclusion of coverage for actions brought by one insured against another insured or insureds. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (and its successors) to maintain such “tail” policy and not take any action to amend, modify or terminate the D&O Tail Policy during the term thereof.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.14 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each current and former director and officer of Company and his

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties of Company contained in Article II of this Agreement or in the Company Certificate shall survive the fifteen (15) month period immediately following the Closing Date (the expiration of such period, the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that the Fundamental Representations hereof shall survive for the seven (7) year period immediately following the Closing Date (the “Fundamental Rep Survival Date”), except for the representations and warranties of Company contained in Section 2.11 (Tax Matters) hereof shall survive until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants and other agreements of Company in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall terminate and expire on the Survival Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that notice of any Claim for indemnification under this Article VIII has been delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period specified above, the specific representation, warranty or covenant that is the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive with respect to such claim until such time as such claim is finally resolved pursuant to the terms hereof.

-57-

(b) All representations and warranties made by Parent and Sub in Article III of this Agreement or in the Parent Certificate shall terminate and expire as of the Effective Time, and any liability of Parent or Sub with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon cease.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Loss as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an Indemnified Party) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred such Loss as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, by virtue of the adoption and approval of the Merger by the Requisite Stockholder Approval and the Joinder Agreements, the Company Holders (the “Indemnifying Parties”) agree, severally (but not jointly), in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion of the Losses, to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and Representatives, including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs, interest, awards, judgments, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and including any such reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any of the foregoing, and diminution in value (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”; provided, however, that any punitive damages shall not be included in the definition of Losses unless actually paid to a third party) incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them (including the Surviving Corporation), directly or indirectly, as a result of (i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality contained therein solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Loss) of Company contained in Article II of this Agreement or in the Company Certificate, (ii) any failure by Company to perform or comply with any covenant applicable to it contained in this Agreement, (iii) any Dissenting Share Payments, (iv) any Third Party Expenses or Indebtedness of the Acquired Companies that is not reflected on the Closing Statement or taken into account in the calculation of the Adjusted Merger Consideration, (v) any fraud committed by any Acquired Company or Company Holder prior to the Closing in connection with the negotiation or execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement (“Fraud”), (vi) any D&O Loss, (vii) any Pre-Closing Taxes, (viii) any inaccuracies in the Closing Allocation Schedule or any Claim related to or arising out of the distribution of any portion of the Total Merger Consideration in accordance with the Closing Allocation Schedule, or (ix) any such matters as set forth on SCHEDULE 8.2 (a) hereof.

8.3 Limitations and Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Basket Amount and Other Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 8.3(a), an Indemnified Party may not recover any Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i) unless and until such Losses under Section 8.2 exceed $6,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”), in which case Parent shall be entitled to recover all Losses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Basket Amount). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be entitled to recover for, and the Basket Amount shall not apply as a threshold to, any and all claims or payments made with respect to Losses resulting from (i) any breach of a representation or warranty contained in the Fundamental Representations or (ii) any claim pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii) through 8.2(a)(ix) (collectively, “Exempted Losses”). Except for Exempted Losses, recovery of the amount of funds then in the Escrow Account (less any funds then required to be released from the Escrow Account) shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery of

-58-

the Indemnified Parties. The aggregate amount of Exempted Losses that may be recovered by an Indemnified Party from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Indemnifying Party hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the limitations set forth in this Section 8.3(a) shall not apply with respect to any claim based on Fraud against the Person who committed such Fraud and (ii), except with respect to amounts paid from the Escrow Account, no Company Holder shall be liable for, or provide any indemnification with respect to, the Fraud of another Company Holder (excluding any Fraud committed by any director, officer or employee of the Company acting in their capacity or purported capacity as such, it being agreed that Fraud committed by such Person shall be deemed a Fraud committed by the Company).

(b) Insurance; Other Limitations. Each Indemnified Party acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes hereof, any Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated based on the amount of such Losses that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds (net of all expenses incurred in the collection thereof and all increases in premiums resulting therefrom) actually received by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery for any such Losses from any of its or the Surviving Corporation’s then-existing insurance policies and to otherwise mitigate Losses. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) to the extent such matter was taken into account in determining the Initial Merger Consideration or Adjusted Merger Consideration.

(c) Satisfaction of Claims.

(i) Except for Exempted Losses, claims by an Indemnified Party for Losses shall be satisfied solely from the Escrow Account. Claims by an Indemnified Party for Exempted Losses, shall be satisfied: (A) first, from the Escrow Account, but only after (1) satisfying all other pending claims that are not claims for Exempted Losses, and (2) making appropriate reserve as provided herein for any then unresolved claims that are not claims for Exempted Losses, and (B) second, if the Escrow Account is insufficient after such satisfaction or reserve, (1) in the case of Fraud, at the election of the Indemnified Party and in any combination the Indemnified Party elects, directly from each Company Holder, severally in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Losses, up to the aggregate proceeds received by such Company Holder hereunder and/or directly and individually from such Person or Persons committing such Fraud, jointly and severally among such Persons, without limit, and (2) in the case of Exempted Losses other than Fraud, directly from each Company Holder, severally in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Losses, in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Company Holder hereunder.

(ii) The representations and warranties, covenants and obligations of Company, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnified Parties, will not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Indemnified Parties or any of their Affiliates. Such representations and warranties, covenants and obligations will not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Parties knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Indemnifying Party failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such party will be for its own protection only and will not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

-59-

(d) Claims for Indemnification.

(i) If at any time prior to the Survival Date or Fundamental Rep Survival Date, as applicable, Parent determines in good faith that any Indemnified Party has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, Parent may deliver to the Stockholder Representative a certificate signed by an officer of Parent (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.3(d)(i), an “Officer’s Claim Certificate”):

(A) stating that an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (or, in addition to and not limitation of any indemnification an Indemnified Party has available pursuant to Article VIII, with respect to any Tax matters, a Tax Authority has raised such Tax matter in audit of Parent or its subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), which could give rise to indemnifiable Losses);

(B) to the extent possible, contain a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount of all indemnifiable Losses to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive under this Article VIII, which shall be the amount of Losses such Indemnified Party has so incurred or suffered or would reasonably be expected to incur or suffer in the future; and

(C) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Parent) the material facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim and setting forth the specific representation and warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached by Company or other item of indemnification alleged to be at issue.

(ii) If the Stockholder Representative in good faith objects to any Claim made by Parent in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then the Stockholder Representative shall deliver a Written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to Parent during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Stockholder Representative of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any Claim made by Parent in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (A) each Claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in Parent’s favor for purposes of this Article VIII on the terms set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificate and (B) if cash remains in the Escrow Account, then Parent may direct the Escrow Agent to deliver cash from the Escrow Account to Parent the amount of Losses specified in such Officer’s Claim Certificate that have been incurred or suffered to the date of such certificate.

(iii) If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Stockholder Representative in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, if cash remains in the Escrow Account and if applicable, promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(iv) If no such resolution can be reached during the forty-five (45)-day period following Parent’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such forty-five (45)-day period, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 10.10 and 10.12. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with the final, non-appealable decision reached pursuant to Sections 10.10 and 10.12 and distribute cash from the Escrow Account in accordance therewith, if applicable. Judgment upon any final, non-appealable award rendered pursuant to Sections 10.10 and 10.12 may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(e) No Contribution. No Indemnifying Party shall have, or be entitled to exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation to which such Indemnifying Party may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

-60-

(f) Third Party Claims. Except as otherwise provided in Article VI, in the event of the assertion of the commencement by any Person of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending by or before any Governmental Entity (whether against the Surviving Corporation, against Parent or against any other Person) with respect to which any of the Indemnifying Parties may become obligated to indemnify and hold harmless, any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII (each, a “Claim”), Parent shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with and control the defense of such Claim, including the right to assert counterclaims. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim:

(i) upon Parent’s request, the Stockholder Representative shall instruct each Indemnifying Party to, make available to Parent any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be reasonably necessary to the defense of such Claim; and

(ii) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Claim without the consent of the Stockholder Representative, it being understood that any such settlement, adjustment or compromise effected without the consent of the Stockholder Representative will not be dispositive of the existence of an indemnifiable claim or the amount of Losses.

Parent shall give the Stockholder Representative prompt notice of the commencement of any Claim against Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Stockholder Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article VIII, unless the Indemnifying Parties demonstrate actual damage caused by such delay or failure, and then only to the extent thereof.

(g) Release of Remaining Escrow Account. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly release a portion of the Escrow Account equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Amount, less the amount of claims previously paid and the amount of any pending claims for which an Officer’s Claim Certificate was delivered prior to the Initial Escrow Release Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to (i) the Depository Agent no later than three (3) Business Days following the Initial Escrow Release Date for payment to the Company Holders (other than Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders) and (ii) the Surviving Corporation for payment to the Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, in accordance with its customary payroll practices (subject to applicable withholding Taxes), in each case, in accordance with the Closing Allocation Schedule. Promptly, and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days following the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release and deliver the entire remaining balance of the Escrow Account (if any), less the amount of any pending claims for which an Officer’s Claim Certificate was delivered prior to the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, to (A) the Depository Agent for payment to the Company Holders (other than Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Company Holder for such purpose and (B) the Surviving Corporation for payment to the Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, in accordance with its customary payroll practices (subject to applicable withholding Taxes), in each case, in accordance with the Closing Allocation Schedule. At any time following the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent the portion of the Escrow Account exceeds the amount of all pending claims for which an Officer’s Claim Certificate was delivered prior to the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly release and

-61-

deliver such excess to (A) the Depository Agent for payment to the Company Holders (other than Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Company Holder for such purpose and (B) the Surviving Corporation for payment to the Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, in accordance with its customary payroll practices (subject to applicable withholding Taxes), in each case, in accordance with the Closing Allocation Schedule.

(h) Certain Waivers, etc. Effective upon the Closing, each Company Holder hereby irrevocably waives, releases and discharges Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates from any and all liabilities and obligations to it, in connection with such Company Holder’s relationship with Company (whether in its capacity as a shareholder, manager, member, officer or director of Company or any of its Affiliates or otherwise (including in respect of any rights of contribution or indemnification)), in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and whether arising under any agreement or understanding or otherwise at law or equity (the “Released Claims”), and each Company Holder agrees that it shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release, and the Released Claims shall not include (i) any rights or claims available to it under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any other agreement entered into by the undersigned in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the Merger; (ii) rights to continuing indemnification under the Charter Documents or any indemnification agreement between Company and such Company Holders; and (iii) any rights to receive salaries, bonuses, expenses or other payments or compensation, unreimbursed claims under health and welfare plans and the entitlement to continuation coverage benefits or other similar benefits required to be provided by Law. In no event shall Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates have any liability whatsoever to any Company Holder (or any Affiliate of any Company Holder) for breaches of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of Company hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 8.3(h), “Affiliates” shall not include any portfolio company or limited partner of any Company Holder that is a venture capital fund.

8.4 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, each of the Company Holders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Shareholder Representative Services LLC as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Stockholder Representative for and on behalf of the Company Holders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Account in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and bring suit and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and bring suit and comply with orders of courts with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party against any Company Holder or by any such Company Holder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Company Holder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Company Holders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior Written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority interest of the Escrow Account agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the vote of holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Account. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. With respect to matters set forth in Section 1.7, Article VI and Article VIII, notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Holders.

-62-

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to any Company Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and absent its gross negligence or bad faith. The Company Holders shall indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against 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, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, 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 directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Company Holders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Stockholder Representative Fund, and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Account at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Holders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Stockholder Representative Fund and the Escrow Account, this does not relieve the Company Holders from their obligation to promptly pay, in accordance with their Pro Rata Portion of such Representative Losses in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by each such Company Holder hereunder (reduced by the aggregate amount of indemnification payments required to be paid by such Company Holder pursuant to Article VIII), such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Holders or otherwise. The Company Holders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative, including but not limited to an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof, shall constitute a decision of the Company Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Holders; and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Company Holders. Parent is hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to withdraw cash amounts held in the Stockholder Representative Fund in reimbursement for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Company Holders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Stockholder Representative Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Contemporaneous with or as soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholder Representative’s duties, the Stockholder Representative will deliver the balance of the Stockholder Representative Fund to (i) the Depository Agent for further distribution to the Company Holders (other than Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Company Holder for such purpose and (ii) the

-63-

Surviving Corporation for payment to the Employee Cashed-Out Option Holders through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, in each case, in accordance with the Closing Allocation Schedule and, for the avoidance of doubt, such payments shall not be subject to information reporting or tax withholding. The Stockholder Representative Fund Amount shall be deemed to have been received by the Company Holders at the Closing (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes and then each Company Holder shall be deemed to have voluntarily contributed such amount to the Stockholder Representative Fund, any withholding in respect thereof shall be satisfied from the portion of the Initial Merger Consideration owing to the Company Holders on the Closing Date and, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Stockholder Representative Fund that is returned to the Company Holders shall not again be subject to information reporting or Tax withholding.

8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except for (i) specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to Section 10.7, (ii) the determination of the Post-Closing Statement (which is governed by Section 1.7) and (iii) the rights and obligations set forth in Article VI, the rights and obligations set forth in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties (whether at law or in equity) with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement.

8.6 Supplemental Indemnification. Each Joinder Company Holder hereby agrees that, until such time as Company Holders entitled, subject to requirements of Section 1.6 and 1.11 of this Agreement, to at least 92.5% of the Initial Merger Consideration have executed and delivered the Joinder Agreement, in addition such Joinder Company Holder’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Sections 8.1 through 8.5 of this Agreement, such Joinder Company Holder shall also assume, be liable for and pay to an Indemnified Party its Adjusted Pro Rata Portion of any Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.1 through 8.5 of this Agreement but is unable able to recover as a result of the failure of Company Holders entitled, subject to requirements of Section 1.6 and 1.11 of this Agreement, to 92.5% of the Initial Merger Consideration to execute and deliver the Joinder Agreement; provided that, no Joinder Company Holder shall be liable for an amount in excess of the aggregate proceeds received by such Joinder Company Holder under the Merger Agreement except in the event of Fraud committed by such Joinder Company Holder.

10.2 Interpretation. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedule or any Appendix, Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and

-67-

covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

10.3 Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) any item disclosed in any particular part or section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed in all other parts or sections of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent that it is reasonably apparent of its face that such disclosure is related to such other particular part or section of the Disclosure Schedule; (b) no disclosure of any matter contained in the applicable Disclosure Schedule shall create an implication that such matter meets any standard of materiality (matters reflected in the applicable Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the applicable Disclosure Schedule; such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature, nor shall the inclusion of any item be construed as implying that any such item is “material” for any purpose); and (c) headings and introductory language have been inserted on the sections of the applicable Disclosure Schedule for convenience of reference only and shall to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express description of the sections as set forth in this Agreement.

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

10.5 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Confidential Disclosure Agreement, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both Written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, that certain non-binding term sheet letter agreement by and between Parent and Company, dated as of November 18, 2015, (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, and (c) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its Affiliates as long as Parent remains ultimately liable for all of Parent’s obligations hereunder.

10.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.7 Specific Performance. Each of Company, Stockholder Representative, Sub and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court in the United States or in any state having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled pursuant hereto.

10.8 Other Remedies. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

10.9 Governing Law.

This provision to arbitrate shall be governed by Delaware law, as it may exist at the time of the demand for arbitration, without reference to the law chosen by any other provision of this Agreement. The place of the arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall be one of those persons who has served as a trial judge in the State of Delaware. All such Arbitrable Claims shall be settled by one (1) arbitrator (the “Neutral Arbitrator”) which shall be selected by the mutual agreement of Parent and the Stockholder Representative. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree upon the identity of the Neutral Arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the Arbitrable Claim, the parties shall file a petition with the Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 5805 of the DRAA seeking the appointment of a Neutral Arbitrator. In either event, such arbitrator may not have any preexisting, direct or indirect relationship with any party to the dispute. Each party hereto expressly consents to, and waives any future objection to, such forum and arbitration rules. The arbitrator is authorized to issue subpoenas and award commissions to permit depositions to be taken. Except as required by applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the laws, rules and regulations of the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market), neither party, nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior Written consent of all parties (except that Company and the Stockholder Representative may disclose the existence, content or results of any such arbitration to the Company Holders). Adherence to this dispute resolution process shall not limit the right of the parties hereto to obtain any provisional remedy, including injunctive or similar relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction as may be necessary to protect their respective rights and interests pending arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrators shall determine the prevailing party and shall include in their award that party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

(b) Except as expressly stated in Sections 1.7(d) and 10.10(a), each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any court within the State of Delaware in connection with any matter arising out of a claim for indemnification under Article VIII or arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to, the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim based on contract, tort or

-69-

statute, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process. If a claim or dispute brought in accordance herewith is resolved in the favor of a party hereto, such party shall be entitled to, and shall be awarded, its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of such claim or dispute (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

10.11 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

10.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH PARTY MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

10.13 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees, and Affiliates that the Acquired Companies and the Company Holders are clients of Xxxxxx LLP (“Firm”). After the Closing, it is possible that Firm will represent the Company Holders and/or the Stockholder Representative (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”) solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any claim for indemnification against the Company Holders. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Acquired Companies hereby agree that Firm (or any successor) may represent the Seller Group in the future solely in connection with issues that may arise under this Agreement and any claims that may be made thereunder pursuant to this Agreement, including a dispute that arises after the Closing between Parent (and/or Company) and Stockholder Representative, even though the interests of Stockholder Representative may be directly adverse to Parent or the Acquired Companies, and even though the Firm may have represented the Acquired Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Acquired Companies. Firm (or any successor) may serve as counsel to all or a portion of the Seller Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee, Representative, or Affiliate of the Seller Group, solely in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto consents thereto, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each such party shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in this connection.

(b) Each of Parent and Company hereby acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection and expectation of client confidence attaching as a result of the Firm’s representation of the Acquired Companies solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection shall, after the Effective Time, belong to and be controlled solely by the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Holders, and may only be waived by the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Holders. Following the Effective Time, Parent

-70-

and Company agree that they will not request from the Firm, the Stockholder Representative or the Company Holders any of the communications between the Firm, on the one hand, and Company and/or the Company Holders, on the other hand, solely relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Communications”), including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any claim in connection with any claim by Parent or any other Indemnified Party under Article VIII; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Parent from requesting any Communications in connection with document production requests or discovery in any proceeding so long as such Communications would not be subject to an attorney-client privilege if they were being requested in a proceeding by an unrelated third party and such Communications are produced or required to be produced in response to such document production requests or discovery. Following the Effective Time, the Stockholder Representative and the Company Holders shall be permitted to use the Communications with respect to any claim in connection with the defense of any claim by Parent or any other Indemnified Party under Article VIII; provided that such use does not waive any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any Communications to any third party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.13 or in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any Communications to any third party, and neither the Stockholder Representative nor any Company Holder shall take any action, or cause the Firm to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to waive any such privilege or protection to any third party.
