(e) The balance of the Closing Payment, following reduction for payment the amounts described in Section 2.4(a) through Section 2.4(d), and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5(a), shall be paid by Buyer to Sellers to an account or accounts designated by Sellers and set forth in the Flow of Funds, with each Seller receiving such Seller’s Percentage Interest of such amount.

The Closing Payment will be adjusted as set forth in Section 2.5.

Section 2.5 Closing Balance Sheet; Adjustment of Closing Payment.

(a) The Company shall distribute to Sellers the Company Cash available at the time of distribution less $1,000,000 prior to the Effective Time. Sellers shall provide to Buyer at least five days prior to the Closing Date a written statement setting forth the Preliminary Balance Sheet and Sellers’ calculation of the Preliminary Net Working Capital, the estimated amount of Company Cash outstanding (taking into account any distribution of Company Cash to Sellers prior to the Effective Time), the estimated amount of all Indebtedness outstanding, the estimated Transaction Expenses and the Transaction Bonuses as of the Effective Time. The Preliminary Net Working Capital shall represent Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company as it will be at the Closing Date. The Closing Payment shall be (i) increased by the amount, if any, that (A) the Preliminary Net Working Capital plus Company Cash outstanding as of the Effective Time exceeds (B) the Baseline Net Working Capital or (ii) decreased by the amount, if any, that (A) the Baseline Net Working Capital exceeds (B) the Preliminary Net Working Capital plus Company Cash outstanding as of the Effective Time.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing and in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative (i) a draft Closing Balance Sheet and (ii) a draft calculation of (A) the Final Net Working Capital, (B) the Company Cash as of the Effective Time, (C) the amount, if any, of Indebtedness outstanding as of the Effective Time after the payment made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(c) and (D) the amount, if any, of Transaction Expenses outstanding at Closing after the payment made at Closing

pursuant to Section 2.4(d) (collectively, the “Post-Closing Adjustments”), together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation. The draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Post-Closing Adjustments, if any, shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement including Schedule 2.5.

(c) During the Review Period, the Sellers’ Representative and his representatives (i) will be permitted to review, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice and with Buyer’s cooperation, the Company’s Books and Records to the extent related to the preparation of the draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Post-Closing Adjustments, including any work papers and memoranda which have been provided to Buyer or the Company, and (ii) will be given access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to knowledgeable Employees and accounting professionals of the Company and Buyer to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate the Sellers’ Representative’s review of the draft Closing Balance Sheet and the Post-Closing Adjustments, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative; provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to disclose any information to the Sellers’ Representative or his representatives if such disclosure would be reasonably likely to (a) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (b) contravene any Applicable Law or any confidentiality agreement. If the Sellers’ Representative does not deliver an Objection Statement by the expiration of the Review Period and the draft calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustments, such drafts shall be the final Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Adjustments, respectively, for purposes of calculating any Closing Payment Decrease or Closing Payment Increase pursuant to Section 2.5(f).

(d) If the Sellers’ Representative has any objections to the draft Closing Balance Sheet or the draft calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustments, the Sellers’ Representative will deliver a reasonably detailed statement describing such objections (an “Objection Statement”) to Buyer within the Review Period. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections. Any such objections that are resolved by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative and any portions of Buyer’s draft Closing Balance Sheet and draft calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustments not disputed in the Sellers’ Representative’s Objection Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer, Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative for purposes of preparing the final, binding and conclusive Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.5(e). If a final resolution is not obtained within 15 days after Buyer has received the Objection Statement, then Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will select Deloitte & Touche LLP (the “Independent Accountants”) to resolve any remaining objections. In the event that Deloitte & Touche LLP is unable or unwilling to serve as the Independent Accountants hereunder, then Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will select a nationally or regionally-recognized independent and neutral accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each of them to serve as the Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants will act as an expert to determine each disputed item (the amount of which may not be more favorable to Buyer than the related amount reflected in Buyer’s draft calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustments nor more favorable to Sellers than the related amount set forth in the Objection Statement) and shall consider only those specific items in dispute between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (and shall only consider those items that are identified on the Objection Statement as in dispute unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative), and Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will instruct the Independent Accountants to endeavor to complete such process within a period of no more than 30 days. Except

as set forth in this Section 2.5(d), the Independent Accountants may conduct such proceedings as the Independent Accountants believe, in their sole discretion, will assist in the determination of the disputed items; provided, however, that, except as Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative may otherwise agree, all communications between Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and the Independent Accountants, on the other hand, will be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating party. The Independent Accountants’ determination shall be made solely in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement and based solely on the submissions and supporting materials provided by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review of outside materials). The Independent Accountants’ determination of the disputed items will be final, binding, conclusive and non-appealable (barring manifest error) on Buyer, Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative for purposes of preparing the final, binding and conclusive Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.5(e), effective as of the date the Independent Accountants’ written determination is received by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

(e) Buyer will revise the draft Closing Balance Sheet and draft calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustments as appropriate to reflect the resolution of the Sellers’ Representative’s objections (as agreed upon by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative or as determined by the Independent Accountants) promptly but in no event later than five Business Days after the resolution of such objections. Such revised statements shall be the final, binding and conclusive Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Adjustments, respectively, for purposes of calculating any Closing Payment Decrease or Closing Payment Increase pursuant to Section 2.5(f).

(f) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.5(f), in the event that (i) the Preliminary Net Working Capital, plus the estimated Company Cash outstanding as of the Effective Time exceeds (ii) an amount equal to the Final Net Working Capital, plus the Company Cash outstanding as of the Effective Time, less the amount, if any, of Indebtedness outstanding at Closing after the payment made as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.4(c), less the amount, if any, of Transaction Expenses outstanding as of the Effective Time after the payment made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(d), then the Closing Payment shall be decreased by the amount of such excess (a “Closing Payment Decrease”), and the amount of such Closing Payment Decrease shall be deducted from the Working Capital Escrow Amount, and the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the procedures in the Escrow Agreement, to (x) promptly release an amount equal to the lesser of the Closing Payment Decrease and the Working Capital Escrow Amount to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer, and (y) promptly release the amount, if any, by which the Working Capital Escrow Amount exceeds the Closing Payment Decrease to Sellers, based on their Percentage Interest of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated for each Seller in the Flow of Funds. If the Closing Payment Decrease exceeds the Working Capital Escrow Amount, then the amount in excess of the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be paid by Sellers to Buyer by each Seller paying, within five Business Days of the determination of the Closing Payment Decrease, an amount equal to such Seller’s Percentage Interest of the Closing Payment Decrease to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.5(f), in the event that (A) an amount equal to the Final

Net Working Capital, plus the Company Cash outstanding as of the Effective Time, less the amount, if any, of Indebtedness outstanding as of the Effective Time after the payment made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(c), less the amount, if any, of Transaction Expenses outstanding as of the Effective Time after the payment made at Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(d) exceeds (B) the Preliminary Net Working Capital, plus the estimated Company Cash outstanding as of the Effective Time, then the Closing Payment shall be increased by the amount of such excess (a “Closing Payment Increase”), and (x) the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the procedures in the Escrow Agreement, to promptly release the Working Capital Escrow Amount to Sellers, based on their Percentage Interest of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated for Sellers in the Flow of Funds, and (y) Buyer shall pay, within five Business Days of the determination of the Closing Payment Increase, the amount of the Closing Payment Increase to Sellers, based on their Percentage Interest of such Closing Payment Increase, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated for Sellers in the Flow of Funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5(f), if the absolute value of the difference between the Final Net Working Capital and the Preliminary Net Working Capital is less than $100,000, then the Final Net Working Capital shall be deemed to equal the Preliminary Net Working Capital for purposes of calculating any Closing Payment Decrease or Closing Payment Increase, as the case may be, hereunder, and, if there is no Closing Payment Increase or Closing Payment Decrease under the terms of this Section 2.5(f) as a result thereof, the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be due to Sellers, and the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the procedures in the Escrow Agreement, to promptly release the Working Capital Escrow Amount to Sellers, based on their Percentage Interest of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated for Sellers in the Flow of Funds.

(g) If any unresolved objections are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution as provided above, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, will share the fees and expenses of such accounting firm in proportion to the degree to which the final Closing Payment, as determined by the Independent Accountants, differs from the proposed final Closing Payment set forth in the statement of Post-Closing Adjustments and Objections Statement submitted by Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, respectively, such that the Party whose calculation of the Closing Payment differs more from the calculation submitted by the Independent Accountants shall pay proportionately more of the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.5, (i) the Closing Balance Sheet and (ii) the Final Net Working Capital, shall each be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and consistent with the example calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Schedule 2.5.

(i) Neither the Closing Balance Sheet nor the Post-Closing Adjustments shall be deemed to limit any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those set forth in Section 8.1). Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Section 2.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, there is no general agreement among the Parties to submit other disputes under this Agreement to arbitration.

(j) The Parties hereto agree that any adjustment as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.6 Earnout.

(a) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Shares, Buyer shall make payments to Sellers based on the Pro Forma Gross Profit, calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.6 (each such payment, an “Earnout Payment” and collectively, the “Earnout Payments”), in the amount, if any, and in the manner as may be determined to be payable pursuant to this Section 2.6 during the following periods (each such period, an “Earnout Period”): (i) the 12-months ending December 31, 2020 and (ii) the 12-months ending December 31, 2021.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within 60 days after the end of each Earnout Period, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Preliminary Earnout Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Pro Forma Gross Profit and the applicable Earnout Payment owed to Sellers for such Earnout Period, together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation. The Preliminary Earnout Statement will be prepared in good faith by Buyer based on the calculations set forth on Schedule 1.1(d) and Schedule 2.6, in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Within five Business Days after Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative determine that the Earnout Payment amount is final pursuant to Section 2.6(d), Buyer shall pay such Earnout Payment to Sellers’ Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank designated by him. Each Seller will receive from the Sellers’ Representative such Seller’s Percentage Interest of such Earnout Payment.

(d) The Sellers’ Representative may, within 30 days after the date of receipt each Preliminary Earnout Statement, deliver to Buyer a notice setting forth in reasonable detail with supporting documentation any objections that Sellers, in good faith, may have thereto (such notice, a “Earnout Objection Notice”). If the Sellers’ Representative does not so object within such time period, the calculation of the Pro Forma Gross Profit and the Earnout Payment set forth in such Preliminary Earnout Statement will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of this Agreement. If the Sellers’ Representative so objects in good faith and delivers an Earnout Objection Notice within such time period, then he and Buyer will use good faith efforts to resolve by written agreement any differences as to the calculation of Pro Forma Gross Profit and, if he and Buyer so resolve any such differences, the Pro Forma Gross Profit, as adjusted by the agreed adjustments, will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of this Agreement. If any objections raised by the Sellers’ Representative are not resolved by written agreement of the parties within 15 Business Days after he advises Buyer of Sellers’ objections, then he, on behalf of Sellers, and Buyer, will submit the objections that are then unresolved to the Independent Accountants, which shall be directed to resolve the unresolved objections as promptly as reasonably practicable and to deliver written notice to each of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative setting forth its resolution of the disputed matters. All determinations by the Independent Accountants will be based solely on the information presented to it by Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative and their respective representatives, and not by independent review. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountants will be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the definition

of Pro Forma Gross Profit, and will not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The calculation of Pro Forma Gross Profit and the Earnout Payment, after giving effect to any agreed adjustments and the resolution of any disputed matters by the Independent Accountants, will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of this Agreement. If any unresolved objections are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution as provided above, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, will share the fees and expenses of such accounting firm in proportion to the degree to which the applicable final Earnout Payment, as determined by the Independent Accountants, differs from the applicable proposed final Earnout Payment set forth in the Preliminary Earnout Statement submitted by Buyer and the Earnout Objection Notice submitted by the Sellers’ Representative, respectively, such that the Party whose calculation of the applicable Earnout Payment differs more from the calculation submitted by the Independent Accountants shall pay proportionately more of the costs and expenses of the Independent Accountants.

(e) During the period set forth in Section 2.6(d), the Sellers’ Representative and his representatives (i) will be permitted to review, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice and with Buyer’s cooperation, the Company’s Books and Records to the extent related to the preparation of the Preliminary Earnout Statement, including any work papers and memoranda which have been provided to Buyer or the Company, and (ii) will be given access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to knowledgeable Employees and accounting professionals of the Company and Buyer to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate the Sellers’ Representative’s review of the Preliminary Earnout Statement, to the extent reasonably requested by the Sellers’ Representative; provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to disclose any information to the Sellers’ Representative or his representatives if such disclosure would be reasonably likely to (x) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (y) contravene any Applicable Law or any confidentiality agreement.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.6, Sellers acknowledge, understand and agree that (i) Buyer shall have the right to operate the Company and the Business in the sole discretion of Buyer and make all decisions with respect to the Company and the Business in its sole discretion; (ii) the amount of the Earnout Payments contemplated herein is speculative and is subject to numerous factors outside the control of Buyer and the Company; (iii) neither Buyer nor the Company has promised or projected payment of the Earnout Payments; (iv) neither Buyer nor the Company owe a fiduciary duty or express or implied duty to Sellers; (v) the contingent right of Sellers to receive Earnout Payments is not an investment in Buyer or the Company, and the contingent right shall not entitle Sellers to any rights as shareholders of Buyer or the Company; (vi) the parties solely intend the express provisions of this Agreement to govern all of their rights and obligations, if any, with respect to the Earnout Payments contemplated pursuant to this Section 2.6; and (vii) nothing herein will prohibit Buyer or the Company from engaging in any business or opportunity or acquiring, entering into joint ventures, investing in or otherwise cooperating with other Persons, including Persons that may have interests adverse to or otherwise compete, directly or indirectly, with the Business.

(g) Except (i) as expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) as may be reasonably required to comply with Applicable Law, or (iii) as otherwise consented to in writing

by the Sellers’ Representative, from the Closing, through the Earnout Period, and, solely with respect to subpart (A) and (C), until the Earnout Payment (if earned) is paid in full, Buyer shall (A) not contractually restrict the Company’s ability to pay the Earnout Payment when due, (B) maintain the Company (or its successor) or its Business (as it may be expanded after Closing) as a separate entity or business unit and maintain separate financial records solely for purposes of calculating the Earnout Payments for the Business (as it may be expanded after Closing), and (C) not (1) take or omit to take, or cause the Company to take or omit to take, any action solely intended to impede or impair the payment of any Earnout Payment under Section 2.6, or (2) take, or cause the Company to take, any other actions, the sole purpose of which is to reduce or prevent payment of the Earnout Payments. This Section 2.6 will survive the Closing and will bind any successors or assigns of Buyer or the Company.

Section 2.7 Escrow.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer will deposit into one or more escrow accounts (collectively, the “Escrow Account”) established for such purpose with the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement by and among Buyer, Sellers, the Company, and the Escrow Agent, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Escrow Agreement”), (i) $400,000 in cash by wire transfer to an account designated by the Escrow Agent (the “R&W Retention Escrow Amount”), to be held by the Escrow Agent to serve as a source of payment of Sellers’ retention obligations under the R&W Policy pursuant to Article VIII, (ii) $5,000,000 in cash by wire transfer to an account designated by the Escrow Agent (the “Indemnification Escrow Amount”), to be held by the Escrow Agent to serve as a source of payment of the indemnification obligations of Sellers under Article VIII as described in Section 8.3, and (iii) $500,000 in cash by wire transfer to an account designated by the Escrow Agent (the “Working Capital Escrow Amount”), to be held by the Escrow Agent as the first source of payment for any Closing Payment Decrease pursuant to Section 2.5(f).

(ii) The Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and on the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be released to Sellers, subject to reserves for any pending claims made in compliance with this Agreement.

(b) The Sellers’ Representative and Buyer each agree to promptly take commercially reasonable actions (including executing and delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent) requested by the other to effect releases of the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the R&W Retention Escrow Amount, and Indemnification Escrow Amount from the Escrow Account, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.8 Sellers’ Assumption of Certain Liabilities. Sellers shall assume all Excluded Liabilities, and Buyer and its Affiliates (which, after Closing, shall include the Company) shall not have any Liability whatsoever for the Excluded Liabilities, and all of the Excluded Liabilities shall remain the sole responsibility of and shall be paid, performed and discharged solely by Sellers.

Section 2.9 Withholding Rights. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement any such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any Laws relating to Taxes. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.10 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer’s payment of the Closing Payment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not include Buyer’s acquisition of ownership of the Excluded Assets, which such Excluded Assets shall be transferred by the Company to the Sellers’ Representative (as agent for Sellers) or Sellers at or prior to the Closing.

Section 2.11 Closing; Closing Deliveries.

(a) The Closing shall take place on the date which is three Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI and Article VII (other than those conditions that can only be satisfied through actions taken at the Closing), or such other date, time or location as the Parties may mutually agree in writing (such date, the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place through the mutual exchange and receipt of signature pages electronically or via facsimile, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed effective as of the Effective Time, and the transactions hereby contemplated shall be deemed consummated, notwithstanding any Party’s failure or refusal to deliver original (i.e., non-electronic or non-facsimile) signature pages.

contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent applicable, each of the Parties will file (and Sellers will cause each of the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, to file) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within five Business Days of the Execution Date (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties) any notification and report forms and related material that may be required to file under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Laws or by any Governmental Authority, and promptly will make (and Sellers will cause each of the Company and its Affiliates, as applicable, to make) any further filings and supply any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant thereto. Buyer and Sellers shall share equally in paying the filing fees with respect to any filings required under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Laws or by any Governmental Authority.

(b) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Buyer and each Seller shall consult and cooperate with one another and consider in good faith the views of one another in connection with any substantive analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with proceedings under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws, and communicate with applicable Governmental Authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, and other third parties in connection with the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Law. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of any substantive communication it or any of its representatives receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed substantive communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority. Each of the Parties shall permit outside counsel of the other Party to be present or participate in any materially substantive call, discussion, or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation, Proceeding or other inquiry unless (i) prohibited by such Governmental Authority or (ii) it consults with the other Parties in advance and gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such call, discussion or meeting. Each Party hereto shall, and shall cause its representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Antitrust Laws, including under the HSR Act. Each Party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its outside counsel to, provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings (excluding Buyer’s HSR Act Form documentation or similar documentation submitted to Governmental Authorities under the Antitrust Laws) or communications between them or any of their respective representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and competitively sensitive information; (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or Applicable Law; and (C) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(c) Subject to Applicable Law, Buyer and each Seller shall use (and Sellers shall cause the Company to use) commercially reasonable efforts to (i) furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing or submission to be made pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) promptly inform each other of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications

Sellers and Buyer may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.5 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors, managers, or shareholders of the recipient, or to anyone else, unless express written permission (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Sellers, the Company or Buyer, as the case may be).

(d) Buyer and each Seller shall use (and Sellers shall cause the Company to use) commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws. In connection therewith, if any Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as in violation of any Antitrust Law, Buyer and each Seller shall cooperate and use (and Sellers shall cause the Company to cooperate and use) commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist every such Proceeding.

The Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, shall have the right to contest such indemnification claim or to control the defense of all appropriate legal proceedings in respect of

the underlying third-party claim with lead counsel of his choosing (at the sole cost and expense of Sellers) by giving written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of the Buyer Indemnified Party’s written notice, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of any objection to the Buyer Indemnified Party’s claim and whether the Sellers’ Representative has elected to exercise the right to control the defense of any related legal proceedings (a “Seller Objection Notice”); provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to control any such legal proceeding if: (i) the third-party claim seeks an attachment, temporary restraining order, injunction, specific performance or other non-monetary relief; (ii) the third-party claim is or relates to a criminal Proceeding or a Proceeding brought by a Governmental Authority, or could reasonably be determined to be materially detrimental to or injure the Buyer Indemnified Party’s or any of its Affiliates’ reputation, Customer or vendor relations or future business prospects; (iii) under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict of interest on any significant issue related to such proceeding exists between Sellers and the Buyer Indemnified Party, as reasonably determined on the advice of counsel; or (iv) the Sellers’ Representative (after the expiration of such 30-day period) failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such legal proceedings (in which case the Sellers’ Representative shall surrender control to the Buyer Indemnified Party upon notice thereof from the Buyer Indemnified Party). In the event the Sellers’ Representative exercises his right to control such legal proceedings, the Sellers’ Representative also shall control all settlements of such legal proceedings at the sole cost and expense of Sellers subject to the limitations on recovery pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, may not affect any settlement that could result in any cost, expense or Liability to a Buyer Indemnified Party unless the Buyer Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood and agreed that any consent so withheld shall not be deemed unreasonable if the settlement (y) could result in injunctive or other equitable relief or monetary damages in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Amount (less any other claimed amounts) or (z) involves any admission of wrongdoing on behalf of a Buyer Indemnified Party). The Buyer Indemnified Party may select counsel to participate in any defense controlled by the Sellers’ Representative, in which event any fees or expenses of the Buyer Indemnified Party’s counsel that accrue after the receipt of the applicable Seller Objection Notice shall be at the Buyer Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense. In connection with any such claim, action or proceeding, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.3(b), if the Sellers’ Representative is not permitted to or does not elect to assume control of such defense, then the Buyer Indemnified Party may assume control of the defense in connection with such third-party claim with counsel of its choosing, and the reasonable documented fees, charges and expenses of such counsel shall be reimbursed by Sellers subject to the limitations on recovery pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, however, that the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party may not affect any settlement that could result in any relief from Sellers other than monetary damages equal to or less than the Cap (to the extent applicable) unless the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, consents in writing to such settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood and agreed that any consent so withheld shall not be deemed unreasonable if the settlement would result in injunctive or other equitable relief or monetary damages in excess of the Cap (to the extent applicable) or involves any admission of criminal wrongdoing by any Seller). If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.12 (relating to Tax contests), the provisions of Section 8.12 shall control with respect to Tax contests.

(c) Claims against Sellers for which indemnification is sought under Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following limitations on recovery:

(i) Sellers shall not be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(g) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for which indemnification is sought by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(g) exceeds the Deductible, in which event any such Losses exceeding the Deductible shall be subject to indemnification (and Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Parties for any such Losses in amounts up to an amount equal to the Deductible); provided, however, that the Deductible will not apply in the event of fraud or in the event of Losses caused by breaches or inaccuracies of any Fundamental Representation, or any representation and warranty that is an Excluded Claim under the R&W Policy.

(ii) Additionally, Sellers’ aggregate liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not exceed $5,000,000 (the “Cap”) for Losses, not including any amounts recovered under the R&W Policy; provided, however, that the Cap will not apply with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any Fundamental Representations, claims pursuant to Section 8.2(b) through Section 8.2(f) (other than claims pursuant to Section 8.2(e) (Excluded Liabilities) solely with respect to Known Proceedings, Known Environmental Liabilities, or Known Product Liabilities, which will be subject to the Cap), or in the event of fraud, and the amount of Losses with respect to such claims will not be considered in determining whether the Cap has been met; provided further, however, that the Cap will apply with respect to Excluded Claims (other than with respect to claims related to Fundamental Representations) and the amount of Losses with respect to Excluded Claims (other than with respect to claims related to Fundamental Representations) will be considered in determining whether the Cap has been met. In addition, the maximum liability for all Losses for which indemnification is sought under Section 8.2 shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price, other than for fraud.

(d) Recovery for Losses under Section 8.2(b) through Section 8.2(g) shall come first from the Indemnification Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement until the Indemnification Escrow Amount has been fully depleted or disbursed from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. If such Losses exceed the amount available in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover directly from Sellers, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(c)(ii), as applicable.

(e) The following order of priority shall apply for the recovery of Losses against Sellers pursuant to Section 8.2(a):

(i) first, following, for the avoidance of doubt the application of the Deductible to such Losses (to the extent applicable), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall recover Losses from the amounts then remaining in the R&W Retention Escrow Fund to the extent the Losses are not Excluded Claims, until the cumulative amount of such Losses recovered has reached the R&W Retention Escrow Amount;

(ii) second, if the amount of Losses has exceeded the R&W Retention Escrow Amount, and to the extent the Losses are not Excluded Claims, then by collecting insurance proceeds from the R&W Policy;

(iii) third, if the Losses or any portion thereof are Excluded Claims under the R&W Policy and/or relate to breaches or inaccuracies of Fundamental Representations hereunder after application of the insurance proceeds from the R&W Policy (as applicable), then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall recover such Losses from the amounts then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund until the cumulative amount of such Losses recovered has depleted the Indemnification Escrow Fund; and

(iv) fourth, if the Losses or any portion thereof are Excluded Claims under the R&W Policy and/or relate to breaches or inaccuracies of Fundamental Representations hereunder after application of the insurance proceeds from the R&W Policy (as applicable), and the amount of Losses has depleted the Indemnification Escrow Fund, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall recover such Losses from Sellers, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(c)(ii), as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, other than as set forth in Section 8.3(e)(iii) and Section 8.3(e)(iv), the R&W Retention Escrow Amount and the R&W Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy against Sellers for breaches of Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.2(a), except in the case of fraud. In addition, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses from the Sellers if such Losses would have been covered under the R&W Policy, and such coverage for such Losses was denied under the R&W Policy solely to the extent that a Buyer Indemnified Party failed to properly make a claim thereunder or to otherwise comply with the terms thereof, so long as such failure to properly make a claim or otherwise comply with the terms of the R&W Policy is not caused by Sellers’ fraud.

Section 8.4 Indemnification of Sellers by Buyer. Subject to the limitations and procedures in this Article VIII, from and after the Effective Time, Buyer and the Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold Sellers (together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and agrees to defend promptly Sellers from and reimburse Sellers for, any and all Losses that Sellers may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement; and

(b) any failure of Buyer to carry out, perform, satisfy or discharge any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings, Liabilities or obligations under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other documents or certificates delivered on the part of itself in connection with this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Sellers Indemnification Procedure; Limitation on Liability.

(a) Sellers may assert a claim for indemnification against Buyer for any matter not involving a third-party claim that is covered by the indemnity provisions of Section 8.2 by giving prompt written notice to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such claim,

along with the estimated amount (if reasonably estimable) of the Losses related to such claim; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent Buyer is actually prejudiced by such failure or such notice was not delivered during the applicable time period to assert a claim pursuant to Section 8.1. Buyer shall have the right to contest such claim by giving written notice to the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of any objection to such Seller’s claim within 30 days of the receipt of such Seller’s written notice. If Buyer contests such claim, then either the Sellers’ Representative or Buyer may submit such dispute to the Chosen Court for resolution in accordance with Section 11.3; provided, that the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the Sellers’ Representative’s right to submit any dispute to the Chosen Court prior to the expiration of such 30-day period to the extent necessary to comply with any statute of limitations applicable in respect of the underlying claim for indemnification.

(b) In the event a third-party claim against a Seller arises that is covered by the indemnity provisions of Section 8.4 and subject to the limitations on recovery pursuant to this Article VIII, written notice shall be given promptly by the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller, to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such claim, along with the estimated amount (if reasonably estimable) of the Losses related to such claim; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent Buyer is actually prejudiced by such failure or such notice was not delivered during the applicable time period to assert a claim pursuant to Section 8.1. Buyer shall have the right to contest such indemnification claim or to control the defense of all appropriate legal proceedings in respect of the underlying third-party claim with lead counsel of its choosing (at the sole cost and expense of Buyer) by giving written notice to the Sellers’ Representative within 30 days of the receipt of the Sellers’ Representative’s written notice on behalf of such Seller, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of any objection to such Seller’s claim and whether Buyer has elected to exercise the right to control the defense of any related legal proceedings (a “Buyer Objection Notice”); provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, shall be entitled to control any such legal proceeding if: (i) the third-party claim seeks an attachment, temporary restraining order, injunction, specific performance or other non-monetary relief; (ii) the third-party claim is or relates to a criminal Proceeding or a Proceeding brought by a Governmental Authority, or could reasonably be determined to be detrimental to or injure a Seller’s reputation or future business prospects; (iii) under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict of interest on any significant issue related to such proceeding exists between Sellers and Buyer, as reasonably determined on the advice of counsel; or (iv) Buyer failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such legal proceedings (in which case Buyer shall surrender control to the Sellers’ Representative upon request of the Sellers’ Representative). In the event Buyer exercises its right to control such legal proceedings, Buyer shall also control all settlements of such legal proceedings at the sole cost and expense of Buyer subject to the limitations on recovery pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, however, that Buyer may not effect any settlement that could result in any cost, expense or Liability to Sellers unless the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller, consents in writing to such settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood and agreed that any consent so withheld shall not be deemed unreasonable if the settlement (y) could result in injunctive or other equitable relief or (z) involves any admission of wrongdoing on behalf of a Seller). The Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller, may select counsel to participate in any defense controlled by Buyer, in which event any fees or expenses of such Seller’s counsel that accrue after the receipt of the applicable Buyer Objection Notice shall be at Sellers’

own cost and expense. In connection with any such claim, action or proceeding, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.5(b), if Buyer is not permitted or does not elect to assume control of such defense then the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller, may assume control of the defense in connection with such third-party claim with counsel of its choosing, and the reasonable documented fees, charges and expenses of such counsel shall be reimbursed by Buyer subject to the limitations on recovery pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the applicable Seller, may not effect any settlement that could result in any cost, expense or Liability to Buyer or the Company unless Buyer consents in writing to such settlement, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood and agreed that any consent so withheld shall not be deemed unreasonable if the settlement would result in injunctive or other equitable relief or involves any admission of criminal wrongdoing by Buyer). If there shall be any conflicts between the provisions of this Section 8.5(b) and Section 8.12 (relating to Tax contests), the provisions of Section 8.12 shall control with respect to Tax contests.

(c) Buyer shall not be required to indemnify Sellers pursuant to Section 8.4(a) (other than with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which indemnification is sought by Sellers pursuant to Section 8.4(a) first exceeds the Deductible, in which event any Losses exceeding the Deductible shall be subject to indemnification (and Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify any Seller for any Losses in amounts up to an amount equal to the Deductible). Additionally, Buyer’s aggregate liability to Sellers pursuant to Section 8.4 and Section 8.5 shall not exceed the Purchase Price other than for fraud.

Section 8.6 Additional Indemnification Matters.

(a) For purposes of determining whether there has been any breach of a representation or warranty, and for purposes of determining the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation or warranty or the definition of any defined term used therein relating to or referring to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or phrase shall be disregarded, it being the understanding of the Parties that for purposes of determining liability under Article VIII, the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall be read as if such terms and phrases were not included in them, other than any representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Article III that are Excluded Claims.

(b) The amount of any Loss or Tax subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates under insurance policies (including the D&O and EPL Tail Policy, title insurance policy, and the R&W Policy (subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(e)); provided that the existence of the R&W Policy, the D&O and EPL Tail Policy, and the title insurance policy, or any claims related thereto shall not in any way limit any Buyer Indemnified Party’s ability to recover from Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, indemnities, reimbursement arrangements or Contracts (including with respect to any breaches thereof) pursuant to which or under which such Person or such Person’s Affiliates is a party or has rights with respect to such Loss, in each case, net of the reasonable expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in procuring such recovery, including insurance deductibles and any reasonably

foreseeable premium increases. Sellers acknowledge that Buyer and its Affiliates maintain insurance policies with self-insured retentions and/or large deductibles and that payments made or amounts retained by Buyer or its Affiliates towards satisfying any self-insured retentions, deductibles, or similar thresholds shall not constitute an actual receipt of insurance proceeds. Any Loss under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, and will be without duplication of any recovery received under any other agreement or cause of action between Sellers or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or the post-Closing Company, on the other hand.

(c) Any payment pursuant to a claim for indemnification not covered by the R&W Policy shall be made not later than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of written notice from the Indemnified Party stating the amount of the claim, unless the claim is subject to defense as provided in this Agreement, in which case payment shall be made not later than 30 days after the amount of the claim is finally determined or any such dispute is resolved.

(d) Each Party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall not be required to seek recovery from an insurance carrier or other Person with respect to any matter that is the subject of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent a Loss was taken into account in determining the Purchase Price, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification for such Loss.

Section 8.7 Knowledge of Breach. The right of any Party to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before, on or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the transactions set forth in this Agreement, except solely to the extent that such Party had actual knowledge prior to the execution of this Agreement and such inaccuracy or noncompliance would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and the other Party had no knowledge of such inaccuracy or noncompliance.

Section 8.8 Limit on Damages. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Losses shall be limited to breach of contract damages (other than with respect to fraud, breaches of Article IX (Restricted Covenants), or in connection with exercising specific performance pursuant to Section 11.11), no Party shall be liable for any special damages, consequential damages, exemplary damages, punitive damages, damages associated with lost profits or opportunities (including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation) or damages that are not the direct or natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence of the event giving rise to the damages, except, in each case, to the extent payable to a third party in respect of a third party claim or due to such Party’s fraud.

Section 8.9 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article VIII shall constitute the exclusive monetary remedy for any breach of any

representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, undertaking, Liability or obligation under this Agreement by Buyer or Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall operate to limit the liability of Sellers or Buyer for fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this Article VIII), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under the R&W Policy; it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Policy.

Section 8.10 Additional Instruments. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at a Party’s request and without further consideration, each other Party, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such other action as such Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to more effectively consummate the transactions described in this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Right to Set Off. The Indemnified Parties, and any Affiliates’ thereof, shall have the right to set off any Losses finally determined to be due from an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII against any payments to be made by such Party, or any Affiliate of such Indemnifying Party, pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties hereto, including any Transaction Document.

Section 8.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnification. Except to the extent treated as a Liability in the calculation of Indebtedness or Final Net Working Capital and resulting in a reduction to the Purchase Price, Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and hold them harmless from and against, without duplication, all Losses resulting from or attributable to (i) any and all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of the Company, its Affiliates, and FSRA for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, (ii) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company, its Affiliates, or FSRA as a transferee or successor, by Contract (other than any Commercial Tax Agreement) or pursuant to any Law or otherwise, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, (iii) any Taxes for which the Company, its Affiliates or FSRA is liable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law as a result of having been a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group before the Closing, (iv) any Transfer Taxes for which the Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 8.12(b), (v) any Taxes attributable to the dissolution of FSRA, and (vi) any and all employment, payroll and withholding Taxes imposed on the Buyer or the Company, any of its Affiliates, or FSRA with respect to payments made to employees pursuant to this Agreement that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, recovery hereunder will be without duplication of any amounts received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3.

(b) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, recording, registration, controlling interest transfer and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest), if any (the “Transfer Taxes”), incurred in connection with the sale of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne 100% by Sellers. The Parties shall remit the payment

for all of the Transfer Taxes and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed with respect to any such Transfer Taxes, if any. Buyer and Sellers shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to take such commercially reasonable actions as will minimize or reduce the amount of such Transfer Taxes.

(c) Tax Return Preparation. Buyer shall prepare and file all Tax Returns of the Company that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period. Buyer shall prepare such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with past practices (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law). With respect to any Tax Returns of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, Buyer shall send Sellers’ Representative a copy of each such Tax Return (together with such schedules and supporting work papers as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request) for his review at least 30 days (15 days with respect to non-Income Tax Returns) prior to the due date of such Tax Return. Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate in good faith in resolving any outstanding disputes regarding any such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence, and shall resolve any such disputes prior to the due date of such a Tax Return. For the avoidance of doubt, any deductions attributable to expenses described in clause (ii) of the definition of Transaction Expenses or in the definition of Transaction Bonuses shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Except to the extent treated as a Liability in the calculation of Indebtedness or Final Net Working Capital and resulting in a Purchase Price reduction, Sellers shall pay to Buyer its allocable share of any Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period no later than five days before the due date for the Tax Return for such Taxes.

(d) Straddle Period Taxes. For all purposes of this Agreement, the portion of any Tax with respect to any Straddle Period that is allocable to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period will be determined as follows: (i) in the case of any sales or use Tax, value added Tax, employment Tax, withholding Tax, and any Tax based on or measured by income, profits, or receipts shall be determined based on the amount of Taxes that would be payable based on a closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined based on the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the applicable Straddle Period; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (or on a monthly basis, where required) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date (or with respect to federal income taxes in proportion to the number of days in each period); and provided further that, if any property Taxes that would normally be payable in and for a period after the Closing Date are accelerated to the period in which the Closing Date shall occur, such Taxes shall be treated under this Section 8.12(d) as Taxes for a Straddle Period.

(e) Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Company (including corresponding amounts credited against the Tax to which Buyer or the Company become entitled), that (x) relate to a Tax period ending prior to the Closing Date and (y) were for Taxes paid by the Company prior to the Closing or by Sellers after the Closing Date, shall be for the account of Sellers, and Buyer shall pay over to Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of any (i) Taxes of Buyer or the Company attributable to such refund or credit and

(ii) expenses incurred in obtaining such refund or credit) within 30 days after receipt or settlement thereof. If any Tax refund paid to Sellers pursuant to the preceding sentence is disallowed or required to be repaid to a Governmental Authority, Sellers shall promptly reimburse Buyer for such refund, plus any interest and penalties payable therewith.

(f) Amended Returns and Retroactive Tax Elections. Except as required by Applicable Law, Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company to, (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect for any such Tax year, in each case without the prior written consent of the Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(g) Tax Controversies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 8.12 (and not Section 8.3, other than as expressly set forth therein) shall control with respect to any Tax Matters with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and Straddle Period. Buyer shall notify Sellers’ Representative in writing within five days of receipt by Buyer or the Company of written notice of any Tax Matters from any Taxing Authority. Sellers’ Representative may, at Sellers’ expense, participate in and, upon written notice to Buyer within 10 days of receiving notice of a Tax Matter, assume the defense of any such Tax Matter to the extent such Tax Matter is solely with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that does not include a Straddle Period. If Sellers’ Representative assumes such defense, then Sellers’ Representative shall have the authority, with respect to such Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Company before the relevant Taxing Authority and Sellers’s Representative shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. If Sellers’ Representative assumes the defense of a Tax Matter, Sellers’ Representative shall (i) not enter into any settlement of, otherwise compromise or abandon any such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) keep Buyer duly informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter and timely provide Buyer with copies of all correspondence, notices and other written materials received from any Taxing Authority with respect to such Tax Matter and (iii) consult in good faith with Buyer with respect to any issue relating to such Tax Matter. With respect to any Tax Matter with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Sellers’ Representative has not assumed such defense or for any Straddle Period, Buyer shall (i) not enter into any settlement of, otherwise compromise or abandon any such Tax Matter without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) keep Sellers’s Representative duly informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter and timely provide Sellers’ Representative with copies of all correspondence, notices and other written materials received from any Taxing Authority with respect to such Tax Matter and (iii) consult in good faith with Sellers’s Representative with respect to any issue relating to such Tax Matter.

(h) Cooperation. Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall (and Buyer shall cause the Company to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.12 and any Tax Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any Tax Claim or Tax Return (including

Books and Records and other information with respect to FSRA), making Employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer shall (A) cause the Company to retain all Books and Records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Straddle Periods until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (B) abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (C) give Sellers’ Representative reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Sellers’ Representative requests, allow Sellers’ Representative to take possession of such books and records.

(i) 280G. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will (i) submit to all Persons entitled to vote (as determined in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 280G (the “280G Vote”)) the material facts (the “280G Disclosure”) concerning all payments and benefits that the Company (after consultation with Buyer) reasonably believes, in the absence of shareholder approval of such payments and benefits, could be “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(1) (“Potential Parachute Payments”), in accordance with Code Section 280G(b)(5)(B), and (ii) solicit the approval and consent of all such Persons with respect to the Potential Parachute Payments. Prior to the 280G Vote, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) who might receive any Potential Parachute Payments to execute and deliver to the Company an agreement to waive his or her Potential Parachute Payments unless the shareholders of the Company approve such payments in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a “280G Waiver”), and such 280G Waiver shall continue to be in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Any Potential Parachute Payments for which the requisite shareholder approval under Code Section 280G(b)(5)(B) was not obtained shall, in accordance with the 280G Waivers entered into by the affected individuals, not be paid or provided for in any manner. The Company agrees to provide Buyer written drafts of the 280G Waiver, the 280G Disclosure, and other documents for the 280G Vote in advance of delivering such documents to the disqualified individuals and the Company’s shareholders, as applicable, and allow Buyer a reasonable opportunity to provide reasonable comments on such documents and the Company shall incorporate any such reasonable comments into the documents.

(j) Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements (other than Commercial Tax Agreements) with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and after the Closing Date, Buyer and the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(k) Treatment as Purchase Price Adjustment. For Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat all indemnification payments made under this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

(l) Coordination with General Indemnification. In the event of any conflict between the other provisions of Article VIII and this Section 8.12, the provisions of this Section 8.12 shall govern the indemnification rights and obligations of Buyer, Sellers, and their Affiliates with respect to Tax matters.

ARTICLE IX

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Section 9.1 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) To further induce Buyer to purchase the Purchased Shares, and in consideration of the payments by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, each Seller agrees, separately and not jointly, to the restrictive covenants contained herein:

(i) Each Seller hereby agrees that he shall not, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for his own account, as a partner or joint venture with any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person (other than Permitted Ownership, defined below), compete with the Company by providing or offering to provide to any Person, including but not limited to the Company’s suppliers and Customers, and any Person to whom Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates, or the Company provided services or goods in connection with the Business within the 18 months prior to the Closing Date, any services or goods that are the same or substantially similar to, and in competition with, the Company Products offered by the Company in the Business during the 18 months prior to the Closing Date (the “Restricted Activities”, and any such Person who engages in the Restricted Activities will be deemed to “Compete” with the Company).

(ii) Each Seller hereby agrees that he shall not, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for his own account, as a partner or joint venturer with any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person, own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership (other than (A) as a minority shareholder of any corporation or other entity the securities of which are publicly held or traded or (B) as a passive investor, holding not more than 2% of any class of equity securities, of such an entity which is not publicly traded (such ownership, “Permitted Ownership”)), management, operation or control of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, proprietorship, association or other Person that Competes with the Company and the Business by providing or offering to provide Restricted Activities.

(iii) Each Seller hereby agrees that he shall not, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for his own account, as a partner or joint venturer with any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person (other than Permitted Ownership), solicit, induce or influence any Person who was a Customer of the Company within 18 months prior to the Closing Date to discontinue, reduce the extent of, discourage the development of or otherwise harm its relationship with the Company.

(iv) Each Seller hereby agrees that he shall not, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for his own account, as a partner or joint venturer with any other Person or as an

employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other Person (other than Permitted Ownership), solicit, induce or influence any Person who was a vendor of the Company, supplier of the Company, lessor or landlord of the Company within the 18 months prior to the Closing to discontinue, reduce the extent of, discourage the development of or otherwise harm such relationship.

(v) Each Seller hereby agrees that he shall not, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for his own account, as a partner or joint venturer with any other Person or as an employee, officer, agent, manager, representative or member of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership association or other Person (other than Permitted Ownership), recruit or solicit any person who was an Employee of the Company as of the Closing Date to leave the Company for the purpose of working for any Person who Competes with the Company, unless such Employee’s employment has been terminated by the Company after Closing or more than 180 days shall have passed since the Employee’s voluntary termination of his or her employment with the Company.

(vi) Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein will prohibit any Seller’s (a) employment with or services to the Company or Buyer; (b) involvement in charitable activities for which no compensation is paid; or (c) ownership of real property and the leasing of the same to third parties (including to the Company with respect to the Xxxxxxx Facility and the Grandview Facility).

(b) Each of the covenants and agreements by Sellers contained in Section 9.1(a) shall be deemed to be and construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees with respect to himself that the covenants set forth in Section 9.1(a) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Business and the business of Buyer, that Buyer shall sustain irreparable injury in the event of a breach or threatened breach by such Seller of any of such covenants and agreements and that Buyer does not and shall not have an adequate remedy at Law for any such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, each Seller consents and agrees for himself that, if such Seller breaches or threatens to breach any such covenant or agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and to specific performance and that no Seller shall assert in any action or Proceeding the defense or claim that Buyer has an adequate remedy at Law. The foregoing shall not, however, be deemed to limit the remedies of Buyer for any such breach or threatened breach. Any claims with respect to a breach of the provisions set forth in Section 9.1(a) must be made (if at all) within 18 months’ after the expiration of the applicable restricted period.

(c) Each Seller covenants and agrees that, if he violates any of the covenants or agreements set forth in Section 9.1(a), in addition to any and all other remedies available to Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation or benefits which any Seller, directly or indirectly, has realized or may realize in connection with any such violation; attorney’s fees and costs; and such remedies shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief, and/or other rights or remedies to which Buyer is or may be entitled at law or in equity or under this Agreement.

(d) In the event that any of the provisions of Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c), shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of such Sections shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that the scope of the Restricted Activities shall be found by the Chosen Court to exceed the maximum restriction on activities such court deems reasonable and enforceable, such scope of activities or geographical area shall be deemed to become and thereafter shall be the maximum scope of activities which such court deems reasonable and enforceable.

(e) Each Seller has carefully read and considered the provisions of Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(b), Section 9.1(c), and Section 9.1(d) and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in such Sections are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of Buyer and its officers, directors, and other employees and that such restrictions are not violative of any public policy.

Section 9.2 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Seller acknowledges that the success of the Company and the Business after the Closing depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of certain information possessed by Sellers, that the preservation of the confidentiality of such information by Sellers is an essential premise of the bargain among Sellers and Buyer, and that Buyer would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 9.2. Accordingly, each Seller hereby agrees that such Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose to any Person, or use in a manner that would result in a breach of any of Seller’s covenants hereunder, any of Buyer’s Confidential Information or, following Closing, any of the Company’s Confidential Information, other than in connection with such Sellers’ contracted services (if any) to the Company or Buyer pursuant to the Consulting Agreements. For purposes of this Section 9.2, “Confidential Information” means, with respect to Buyer or the Company (as applicable) any information belonging or pertaining to such Person that is confidential or proprietary to such Person, including, (i) in the case of Buyer: (A) the identity of Buyer, and (B) the terms and conditions upon which Buyer employs its employees and independent contractors; (ii) in the case of the Company, (A) the Company’s Customers and their purchasing histories, (B) the Company vendors or potential vendors, and the terms or proposed terms upon which the Company may purchase products and services from such vendors, (C) the terms and conditions upon which the Company employs its Employees and independent contractors; (D) technology used by the Company to provide its services, (E) private information concerning the Company’s Customers that a Seller learns in the course of his ownership of the Company, including any trade secrets and proprietary information involving the Company Products, and (F) information provided to the Company by third parties under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such information; and (iii) in the case of Buyer and the Company, such party’s (A) marketing and/or business plans and strategies, and (B) financial reports and analyses regarding the revenues, expenses, profitability and operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by Buyer or the Company (as applicable), except where such public disclosure has been made by a Seller after Closing without authorization from the Company; (ii) has been independently developed and disclosed by others; or (iii) which has otherwise entered the public domain through lawful means. Further, the provisions of this Section 9.2 will not prohibit (a) any retention of copies of records or disclosure

(i) required by any Applicable Law so long as reasonable prior notice is given to Buyer of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded to Buyer to contest the same, (ii) required by any federal or state securities Law or (iii) made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the defense of such enforcement by any other party or (b) the disclosure of information in accordance with Section 9.3. In the event that any Seller or Affiliate thereof becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller or Affiliate thereof will notify Buyer promptly in writing of such requirement so that Buyer may seek (at Buyer’s sole cost) a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 9.2. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that Buyer waives compliance with the terms of this Section 9.2, each Seller or Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Seller or Affiliate thereof is advised by counsel is legally required and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts, at Buyer’s sole expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such furnished Confidential Information.

(b) Each Seller agrees that such Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, divulge or make use of any Confidential Information of Buyer or the Company. Each Seller shall make all reasonable efforts to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of Buyer and, following the Closing, the Company. In the event that a Seller becomes aware of unauthorized disclosures of Buyer’s Confidential Information or, following Closing, the Company’s Confidential Information, by anyone at any time, whether intentionally or by accident, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and, following Closing, the Company.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the success of the Company and the Business depends upon the continued preservation of the confidentiality of certain information possessed by Sellers, the Company, Buyer, or their Affiliates, that the preservation of the confidentiality of such information by the Parties is an essential premise of the bargain among Sellers and Buyer, and that the each Party would be unwilling to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 9.2. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that the information provided to it or its representatives in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including in connection with any diligence (whether prior to or after the Execution Date) is subject to the terms of that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement between Buyer, Cascadia Capital, and the Company, dated May 9, 2019 (the “NDA”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference and binding on Sellers and Buyer. In the event Closing does not occur, the Parties will remain bound by this provision and the NDA in accordance with its terms. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the NDA will terminate, provided, however, that the terms of the NDA will continue to apply to the Excluded Assets.

Section 9.3 Public Announcements.

(a) The Parties hereto will consult with each other before issuing press releases or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Parties hereto shall not issue any such press release or public statement without the prior approval of the other Party (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) The restriction in Section 9.3(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by Law or any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Party making the announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party in advance as to its form, content and timing. In addition, nothing in Section 9.3(a) will be deemed to limit a Party’s ability to seek enforcement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.3. Neither Party will disclose to the public this Agreement, or any Schedules, Exhibits, or other Transaction Documents, or the terms contained herein or therein, other than and solely to the extent such Party determines in its sole discretion that such disclosure is required by Law or Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Sellers acknowledge Buyer will file this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis following its execution and otherwise make this Agreement available pursuant to applicable securities Laws and securities exchange rules or regulations.

ARTICLE X

Section 10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions described in this Agreement may be abandoned at any time prior to Closing only as follows:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers;

(b) by Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer on the other, if there has been a material breach (with respect to representations and warranties not qualified by a materiality standard) or a breach in any respect (with respect to representations and warranties qualified by a materiality standard) on the part of the other Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein which breach would give rise to a failure of a closing condition in Article VI (in the case of Buyer seeking termination ) or Article VII (in the case of Sellers seeking termination), which breach cannot be cured by the Outside Date, in each case unless such breach is the proximate result of one or more breaches or violations of, or inaccuracies in, any covenant, agreement, representation, or warranty of the party seeking termination;

(c) by Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, or Buyer, if a Governmental Authority shall have issued a final and non-appealable order, injunction, judgment, decree or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions set forth in this Agreement, or if there shall be any Applicable Law that makes consummation of the transactions set forth in this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to any Party whose actions resulted in an injunction or other order that had the effect of restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(d) by Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, or Buyer, if the Closing has not occurred by January 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”), provided, however, that the right to

terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.

Section 10.2 Notice of Termination. If Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, desire to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, such Party shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

Section 10.3 Effect of Termination; Termination Damages. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (other than the provisions which by their terms are intended to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including Article XI, Section 9.2, Section 9.3, and this Section 10.3) shall be terminated without Liability of any Party, including any Liability for any Losses (other than as set forth in the provisos below), to the other Party and the exercise of such right of termination shall act as an election of remedies; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve a Party from Liability for fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation.

ARTICLE XI

Section 11.12 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints the Sellers’ Representative as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement, to calculate ultimately and to resolve any disputes regarding the amount of the Indebtedness and the Transaction Expenses, and to act on behalf of such Seller in any amendment of or litigation involving this Agreement or any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII or under the Escrow Agreement and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Sellers’ Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions described in this Agreement, including the power:

(i) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of each Seller to consummate the transactions described in this Agreement;

(ii) to negotiate, execute (or have executed) and deliver all ancillary agreements (including the Transaction Documents), statements, certificates, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions described in this Agreement (it being understood that, upon request by Buyer, each Seller shall execute and deliver any such documents which the Sellers’ Representative agrees to execute);

A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative, including an amendment, extension, waiver or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 11.1, shall constitute a decision of each Seller and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Seller; and the Escrow Agent and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of Sellers’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each Seller. The Escrow Agent and Buyer are 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 Sellers’ Representative.

(d) Each Seller recognizes and intends that the power of attorney granted in this Section 11.12: (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, (ii) may be delegated by the Sellers’ Representative and (iii) shall survive the death, dissolution, sale or other change of control of a Seller.

(e) The Sellers’ Representative will incur no Liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be responsible to a Seller for any Losses or expenses that a Seller may suffer by reason of the performance by the Sellers’ Representative of its duties under this Section 11.12 other than Losses or other damages arising from the fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation in the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties under this Section 11.12. By virtue of the execution of this Agreement, each Seller hereby agrees to release, defend and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative, his

agents and Affiliates (the “Representative Parties”) from, and to indemnify the Representative Parties against, any and all losses, Liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) for any action taken or not taken by the Sellers’ Representative in his capacity as attorney-in-fact under this Section 11.12, other than Losses or other damages arising from the fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation in the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties under this Section 11.12. Each Seller agrees to reimburse the Sellers’ Representative for any costs, expenses or indemnification obligations that the Sellers’ Representative incurs on behalf of Sellers under this Agreement or the Escrow Agent.

(f) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that any and all fees and expenses of the Sellers’ Representative incurred in connection with the performance of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties hereunder, and any and all claims, expenses, Losses, or other costs which may come due as an obligation of Sellers hereunder, including without limitation payment of Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses, shall be, as among Sellers, the obligation of each Sellers’ proportionate to their Percentage Interest (a “Proportionate Share”), and each Seller hereby agrees that to the extent Sellers are obligated to make payments of any such obligations pursuant to this Agreement, then Sellers’ Representative may offset such claims against any amounts due to Sellers hereunder, proportionate to such Seller’s Percentage Interest, and upon notice from the Sellers’ Representative of such a claim, each Seller shall contribute such Seller’s Proportionate Share to the Sellers’ Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after receipt of such notice.

(g) The Sellers’ Representative may resign at any time. Sellers (acting by majority of their respective Percentage Interests) shall designate a replacement Sellers’ Representative upon the resignation, death or disability causing him to be unable to serve, of the Sellers’ Representative by written notice to Buyer.

Section 11.13 Privilege. The Parties agree that the fact that Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP has represented the Company and/or Sellers prior to Closing shall not prevent Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP from representing Sellers in connection with any matters involving, including any disputes with, any of the other Parties after Closing solely to the extent related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties further agree that the attorney-client privilege between Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, on the one hand, and the Company and Sellers, on the other hand, as to communications solely relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby prior to and through the Closing Date shall belong to Sellers after the Closing Date, and not the Company or Buyer, and will be considered Excluded Assets for purposes of this Agreement. Any access by the Company to attorney-client privileged communications related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby after the Closing Date will not waive or otherwise affect the rights of Sellers with respect to the attorney-client privilege except as pursuant to any Applicable Law or determined by any Governmental Authority. The Parties agree that should the Company or Buyer discover attorney-client privileged communications in their possession solely to the extent related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, they will immediately notify Sellers, will not review such communications, and will return such communications to Sellers.
