AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I – MERGER OF MERGERSUB WITH AND INTO HOLDING

1.1 Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), MergerSub shall be merged with and into Holding in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement and the DGCL (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, Holding shall continue as the surviving corporation (as such, “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and the separate corporate existence of MergerSub shall cease.

1.2 Effective Time. Contemporaneously with the Closing (as defined in Section 2.1), the parties hereto shall cause a Certificate of Merger meeting the requirements of Section 252 of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be properly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time of filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL, or at such later time which the parties hereto shall have agreed upon and designated in such filing as the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, but subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Holding and MergerSub shall vest in Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Holding and MergerSub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit B until duly amended in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. The bylaws of MergerSub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, until duly amended in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

1.5 Directors and Officers. Until duly removed or until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, the directors of MergerSub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time and the officers of MergerSub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time.

1.6 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party:

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of MergerSub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Surviving Corporation, so that, after the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Surviving Corporation’s common stock.

(b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001, of Holding (“Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Common Stock cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 1.6(c) and any Dissenting Shares) and all rights in

respect thereof, shall by virtue of the Merger at the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive, upon the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Common Stock as provided in Section 1.11(a), (A) the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration, payable in accordance with Article I and (B) such additional amounts as may be payable to such Stockholder from time to time after the Closing pursuant to Section 2.8 or the Escrow Agreement, in cash, payable to the holder thereof without interest, and such shares shall otherwise cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired and cease to exist.

(c) Each share of Common Stock held by Holding or held in the treasury of Holding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired without any conversion thereof, and no consideration shall be delivered, and no payment or distribution shall be made, with respect thereto.

1.7 Estimated Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Estimated Merger Consideration” will be an aggregate amount equal to:

(a) Three Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($340,000,000);

(b) plus, the excess, if any, of estimated Working Capital as of the Closing (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”) over the Working Capital Target;

(d) plus, an amount equal to the estimated Closing Cash of the Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Cash”);

(e) minus, an amount equal to the estimated outstanding Indebtedness of the Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”);

(f) minus, an amount equal to the estimated Seller Transaction Expenses to be paid at, or payable as of, the Closing (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”).

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that payment for any adjustment with respect to the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and/or Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses pursuant to Section 2.8 may occur after the Closing pursuant to Article II, but nevertheless will be deemed to be part of the Merger Consideration.

1.8 Payment of Estimated Merger Consideration. The Estimated Merger Consideration, and each component thereof set forth in Sections 1.7(a) – (f), and Closing Date Stockholder Proceeds (as defined herein) shall be set forth on a “funds flow memo” to be prepared by Holding in good faith and delivered to Parent at least three (3), but no more than ten (10), Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Funds Flow Statement”) and be subject to post-closing adjustment as provided in Section 2.7 and 2.8. To avoid doubt, any item included as a current liability in the Estimated Working Capital shall not also be included as Estimated Closing Indebtedness to the extent of such inclusion. The Estimated Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.7 and 2.8, is referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration.” The Closing Funds Flow Statement shall be subject to approval by Parent and Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either. Parent and Representative shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any disagreements with respect to the Estimated Merger Consideration in good faith prior to the Closing Date, and Representative shall give Parent access to the relevant books and records of Holding and the work papers of Holding and Representative prepared specifically in connection with the Closing Funds Flow Statement; provided, however, that any such access to the work papers of Holding’s or Representative’s outside accountants shall be conditioned upon Parent’s execution of customary indemnification and confidentiality agreements. Parent and Representative shall acknowledge the Closing Funds Flow

Statement as finally agreed (it being understood that Parent does not waive any rights to take a contrary position to that reflected in the Closing Funds Flow Statement in connection with the preparation of Parent’s Report or any calculation set forth therein, or for any other purpose under this Agreement or otherwise). The Closing Funds Flow Statement (and the calculations therein) shall be determined in accordance with GAAP consistent with past practices consistently applied, subject to the line items and methodologies set forth on Schedule 1.8(a) (such method of determination is referred to as the “Accounting Principles”) and shall set forth (i) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, (ii) the sources and uses of funds at Closing, and (iii) the amounts of the Estimated Closing Cash, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses (including, without limitation (A) a calculation of (x) all amounts payable as a “Gain Share Payment,” in respect of any “Gain Share” or other “phantom equity” or similar plan or program provided for in any employment, stockholder, subscription or similar agreement, assuming for this purpose that 100% of the Escrow Amount will be payable to the Stockholders and Gain Share Recipients (all such amounts payable to recipients of a Gain Share Payment in the aggregate, the “Gain Share Amount”) and (y) the employer portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes with respect to such Gain Share Amount (together with the Gain Share Amount, the “Full Gain Share Amount”), (B) a schedule setting forth (w) the recipient of any portion of the Gain Share Amount (each, a “Gain Share Recipient”) and the amount of the Full Gain Share Amount payable to, or in respect of, such Recipient at Closing (specifying the amount of the employer portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes included in such Full Gain Share Amount), (x) the amount of the Full Gain Share Amount payable to such Recipient that is included in the Escrow Amount (the aggregate portion of the Full Gain Share Amount that is included in the Escrow Amount, the “Gain Share Escrow Amount”), (y) the percentage of the Escrow Amount that is attributable to each such Gain Share Recipient and (z) the percentage of the Escrow Amount that is attributable to the Full Gain Share Amount (the “Gain Share Escrow Percentage”) and (C) the methodology (under applicable Law and any applicable Contract) for calculating the amounts due to the Gain Share Recipients, together with the amount of the employer’s portion of any payroll, employment or similar Taxes attributable to such amounts in the event the Merger Consideration is ultimately determined to be greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration. Subject to Section 2.3(c), the Closing Funds Flow Statement also shall include provisions for the repayment in full by certain executives of the Entities (“Executives”) of loans they respectively owe to the Entities, in each case as set forth on Schedule 3.22 and pursuant to letter agreements in the form of Exhibit C, out of the proceeds the Executives are otherwise entitled to receive as Stockholders; such loan repayments shall increase the Stockholder Proceeds otherwise payable to all Stockholders (pro rata, including the Executives) and not be remitted to the Entities. At the Closing, Parent shall pay and apply the Estimated Merger Consideration and shall make such other payments, on behalf of Holding and the Stockholders as follows:

(a) (i) to pay the Estimated Indebtedness of the Entities at the Closing that is reflected in an Indebtedness Pay-off Letter to the applicable Pay-off Lenders, in the amounts set forth in the applicable Indebtedness Pay-off Letter, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts set forth in such Indebtedness Pay-off Letter and (ii) with respect to Estimated Indebtedness not reflected in any Indebtedness Pay-off Letter, to reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the Estimated Merger Consideration (such reduced amount to be retained by Parent);

(b) to pay (i) all accrued and unpaid management and consulting fees and expenses, investment banking and financial advisory fees in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby under that certain Trivest Management Agreement, dated May 1, 2013 (“Trivest Management Agreement”), as such amounts are set forth in a pay-off, termination and discharge letter with respect to all obligations of Holding and the Entities under the Trivest Management Agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, and executed by Representative and Fund V (the “Trivest Pay-Off Letter”), (ii) any investment banking and financial advisory fees incurred by the Entities in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as such amounts are set forth a pay-off letter in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and executed by each broker, investment banker or other financial advisor with respect to all investment banking and financial advisory fees incurred by the Entities in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Broker Pay-Off Letters”); (iii) to the Company, the Full Gain Share Amount (less the Gain Share Escrow Amount), with the portion of the Gain Share Amount to which each Gain Share Recipient is

entitled (as set forth on the Closing Funds Flow Statement) to be paid to such Gain Share Recipient by the Company through its payroll system, less any applicable Tax withholdings or deductions; and (iv) all other Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses in accordance with the Seller Transaction Expenses Documentation;

(c) to pay an amount of cash equal to the Working Capital Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.10 below; and

(d) to pay an amount of cash equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount (the Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with the Working Capital Escrow Amount, the “Escrow Amount”) to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.10 below.

Each of the foregoing payments by Parent (or its lenders on behalf of Parent, if applicable) will be considered payments on behalf of Holding and in respect of obligations and liabilities of Holding. This Agreement does not constitute an obligation of Holding to pay in full any Indebtedness of Holding (including without limitation any obligations that are or will be discounted or forgiven by the holders thereof) other than the amount of Indebtedness stated in the applicable Indebtedness Pay-off Letter. The amount equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration less the Escrow Amount is referred to as the “Closing Date Stockholder Proceeds”) which shall be paid by Parent (or its lenders on behalf of Parent, if applicable) to Representative at the Closing in cash. The Merger Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and the other provisions of this Agreement is referred to as the “Stockholder Proceeds.” The payments of Closing Date Stockholder Proceeds and Stockholder Proceeds (pursuant to this Section 1.8, pursuant to Section 2.8 and pursuant to Section 7.3 or the Escrow Agreement) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as are indicated by Representative in the Closing Funds Flow Statement. In lieu of a wire transfer, Representative may elect, by written notice to Parent, for one or more payments to be made by check.

1.9 Payments to Stockholders. At the Closing, Representative shall pay out of the Closing Date Stockholder Proceeds, to each Stockholder, an amount equal to the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock held by such Stockholder, net of any reserves or holdbacks as may be agreed to by such Stockholder and Representative pursuant to the applicable Stockholder Support Agreement. None of Parent, Holding, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation with respect to the disbursement by the Representative of the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per Share Merger Consideration to the Stockholders or for any errors or omissions by the Representative in connection therewith.

1.10 Escrow Agreement.

(a) At the Closing, Parent, Escrow Agent, and Representative will enter into the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (with such changes as may be agreed by Parent, Holding and the Escrow Agent, the “Escrow Agreement”). At the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall deliver to Escrow Agent a portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration in the amount of the Escrow Amount, to be held in the escrow account established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Account”). The Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be used exclusively to satisfy any amounts payable to Parent pursuant to Section 2.8. Upon the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8 in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be used exclusively to satisfy any amounts payable to Parent or the Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.3 or pursuant to other claims arising out of this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent permitted to be made hereunder.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, that portion of the then remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount (to avoid doubt, as reduced by any disbursements in accordance with Section 1.10(a)) that is not then claimed by Parent to be owed to a Parent Indemnified Person shall be released to the Representative

(for further distribution to the Stockholders and Gain Share Recipients) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, such that, promptly following the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be reduced to an amount equal to (i) 50% of the Indemnity Escrow Amount deposited at the Closing plus (ii) the amount of any such pending claims. Promptly following the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent (in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement) to pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) to such account(s) designated the Representative, the amount of any remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount that is not then claimed by Parent to be owed to a Parent Indemnified Party or subject to a notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(f) or 9.1(g), together with any interest earned on any such amount, for distribution to the Representative (for further distribution to the Stockholders and Gain Share Recipients), all as may be provided in and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Any disbursements from the Escrow Account to the Parent Indemnified Parties will be treated as a reduction of the Estimated Merger Consideration and the Merger Consideration.

1.11 Stockholder Requirements. Holding and Representative shall comply with the following provisions applicable to payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to each Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.9:

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Holding will deliver or will cause to be delivered to each record holder of Common Stock of Holding as of such time (each, a “Stockholder”) a letter of transmittal substantially in the form agreed between the parties prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Letter of Transmittal shall specify that delivery of the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration shall be effected at or promptly following the Effective Time upon proper surrender of the holder’s stock certificates, together with such Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed, to Representative, and instructions for use in surrendering such stock certificates, and receiving the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of the Common Stock evidenced thereby. Upon the surrender of each such stock certificate and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Representative shall, at or promptly following the Effective Time, pay to the holder of such stock certificate the amount from the Closing Date Stockholder Proceeds as determined in accordance with Section 1.9, in consideration therefor, and such stock certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each such stock certificate (other than stock certificates representing Common Stock held by Holding in the treasury of Holding, which shall be cancelled as provided in Section 1.6(c)) shall represent solely the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration from the Representative.

(b) On the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Surviving Corporation of any shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than as contemplated by this Agreement). If, after the Effective Time, stock certificates formerly representing shares of Common Stock are presented to Surviving Corporation or Representative, such stock certificates shall be surrendered and canceled.

(c) No interest shall accrue or be paid on the cash payable upon the delivery of stock certificates or Letters of Transmittal. Neither Parent, Holding, the Representative nor any party hereto shall be liable to a Stockholder for any cash or interest thereon delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(d) Representative will deliver or will cause to be delivered to Surviving Corporation surrendered stock certificates and Letters of Transmittal on the Closing Date. Stockholders will be entitled to look only to Representative for payment of their claim for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, without interest thereon, but will have no greater rights against Representative than may be accorded to general creditors thereof under applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) In the event that any stock certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit and indemnity (in a form reasonably acceptable to Representative and Parent) of that fact by the Person claiming such stock certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Representative will issue, or will cause to be issued, in exchange for such affidavit and indemnity, the payments with respect to such stock certificate to which such Person otherwise is entitled pursuant to this Article I.

(f) If payment of any portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of the Common Stock is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered stock certificate of Common Stock is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the stock certificate of Common Stock so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the stock certificate surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Representative that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable.

1.12 Withholding Rights. Parent (or any of its Affiliates, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Holding and the Company, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Collateral Agreements such amounts as Parent (or such Affiliate, if applicable) is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld by Parent (or such Affiliate, if applicable), such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent (or such Affiliate, if applicable).

1.13 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Effect on Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock held by a holder (a “Dissenting Holder”) who has properly and timely demanded and perfected such demand for appraisal of such holder’s shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and as of the Closing has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s right to such appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL. Beginning at the Effective Time, Dissenting Shares, if any, will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and extinguished and will cease to exist, and, except as otherwise provided by Legal Requirements, each Dissenting Holder will cease to have any rights with respect to such Dissenting Holder’s Dissenting Shares other than the rights granted by the DGCL. Parent shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares (the “Dissenting Share Consideration”) pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and the Stockholders who are not Dissenting Holders shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.

(b) Loss of Dissenting Share Status. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.13(a), if any holder of shares of Common Stock who properly demands appraisal of such holder’s shares under the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to appraisal, then as of the Closing or the occurrence of such event, whichever later occurs, such holder’s shares of Common Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.6, without interest thereon, as and when payable pursuant to this Agreement, following the surrender of the stock certificate(s) representing such shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.11.

(c) Notice of Dissenting Shares. Holding shall give Parent: (i) prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal of shares of Common Stock received by Holding, withdrawals of any demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Holding; and (ii) the opportunity to direct (with the participation of Holding, with respect to periods prior to the Effective Time, or Representative, with respect to periods following the Effective Time) all negotiations and

proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal. Holding shall not make any payment, settlement or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such payment, settlement or settlement offer, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. Upon any settlement of claims with respect to any Dissenting Shares, Parent shall direct Representative to promptly return to Parent, and the Representative shall return, that portion of the Merger Consideration that would otherwise have been payable to such Dissenting Holder had the status of such Dissenting Shares not been perfected.

ARTICLE II - CLOSING

2.1 Closing. Subject to the conditions stated in Article VI of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall be held commencing at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 1, 2016, or, if the conditions set forth in Article VI have not been satisfied or waived on such date, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after all such conditions shall have been satisfied or waived, via the electronic exchange of signed closing documents between the parties, or at such other time and place as the parties shall mutually agree.

(b) Holding shall provide Parent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, with the Trivest Pay-Off Letter, the Broker Pay-Off Letters and all final invoices and other documentation (all in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) with respect to all Seller Transaction Expenses to be paid at, or payable as of, the Closing (the “Seller Transaction Expense Documentation”); provided that with respect to the Gain Share Amount, such Seller Transaction Expense Documentation shall include a release and acknowledgement of payment from the six (6) Gain Share Recipients receiving the largest portion of the Gain Share Amount, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent.

(c) Holding shall provide Parent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, with customary pay-off letters (in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto) from the Entities with respect to loans owed by Executives to the respective Entities (including the identity of each holder Entity, the identity of each Executive, dollar amounts, wire transfer instructions and any other information necessary to effect the final payment in full thereof and the release of any Liens related thereto).

ii. If by the close of business on July 12, 2016 (the “Termination Date”), the Closing has not occurred, then either Parent or Holding may thereafter terminate this Agreement by written notice to such effect, to the other parties hereto, so long as the reason for the Closing having not occurred on or before the Termination Date is not the terminating party’s breach of the provisions of this Agreement;

iii. By Parent (A) (if it is not in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 not to be satisfied), upon written notice to Holding if there has been a material violation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Holding or Representative contained in this Agreement which violation, breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 not to be satisfied, and such violation, breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Parent or cured by Holding within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by Holding of written notice from Parent or is not reasonably capable of being cured

By Holding (if it is not in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 not to be satisfied), upon written notice to Parent if there has been a material violation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or MergerSub contained in this Agreement which violation, breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 not to be satisfied, and such violation, breach or inaccuracy has not been waived by Holding or cured by Parent within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by Parent of written notice from Holding or is not reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date;

v. If a Governmental Authority shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and such order or action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

vi.

(b) Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by the parties in accordance with this Section 2.5, this Agreement shall become void and of no further effect, provided that (i) the provisions of Section 9.2 through Section 9.13 shall survive any such termination; and (ii) no party shall be relieved of any liability for any willful and deliberate breach of the provisions of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement (for which, with respect to Parent, any such liability shall be limited to the amount of the Termination Fee).

i. If this Agreement is validly terminated by Holding pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(vi), Parent shall, within five (5) Business Days after such termination, pay to Holding a cash fee equal to $11,900,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Holding.

ii. If the Company shall be entitled to the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i), the payment of such Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against Parent, MergerSub, their financing sources (together with their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns and any agents, employees, officers, directors or representatives of any of the foregoing, the “Financing Sources”) and any of their respective former, current and future Affiliates, successors and assigns and any agents, employees, officers, directors or representatives of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Holding, the Representative or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with or related to or arising out of this Agreement (and the termination thereof), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and/or the abandonment thereof, including as a result of the failure of the Closing to be consummated), any agreement executed in connection with this Agreement and any matter forming the basis for such termination, in each case whether based on contract (including a claim based on failure to act in good faith), tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any law or otherwise. In no event will the Termination Fee be payable on more than one occasion.

2.6 Closing Balance Sheet and Working Capital Statement. As soon as practical (and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Representative (the “Parent’s Report”) (i) a consolidated balance sheet for the Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) a calculation of actual Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Closing Working Capital”), actual Closing Cash of the Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Closing Cash”), actual Indebtedness of the Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Actual Closing Indebtedness”) and actual Seller Transaction Expenses (“Actual Seller Transaction Expenses”) and (iii) a calculation of any adjustments to the Estimated Merger Consideration based on such calculations, using such calculations in place of the components calculated pursuant to Sections 1.7(a) – (f), to arrive at the Merger Consideration. To avoid doubt, any item included as a current liability in the Actual Closing Working Capital shall not also be included as Actual Closing Indebtedness to the extent of such inclusion. Representative and its accountants and other advisors shall be entitled to review the Closing Balance Sheet, the Parent’s Report, and any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Parent’s Report prepared by or on behalf of Parent and/or its accountants as the Representative may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access to the work papers of Parent’s outside accountants shall be conditioned upon the Representative’s execution of customary indemnification and confidentiality agreements. The parties agree that the amounts set forth on the Parent’s Report will be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The parties further agree that the calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Cash, Actual Closing Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Actual Indebtedness shall exclude any actions taken or changes made, or caused to be taken or made, by Parent on the Closing Date after the Closing, or any financing arrangements entered into by the Parent, which Parent causes the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to enter, at or after the Closing.

2.7 Disputes. The following sets forth the procedures for resolving disputes among the parties with respect to the determination of the Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and/or Actual Seller Transaction Expenses:

(a) Within thirty (30) days after delivery to Representative of the Parent’s Report, Representative may deliver to Parent a written report (the “Representative’s Report”) advising Parent either that Representative (i) agrees with the calculation of the Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness, Actual Seller Transaction Expenses and the adjustments to the Estimated Merger Consideration to arrive at the Merger Consideration reflected in Parent’s Report (in which case such calculations shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment), or (ii) disagrees with any such calculation and believes that one or more adjustments are required as a result of Parent’s calculations not being in accordance with the Accounting Principles or having computational errors. The Representative’s report shall specify in reasonable detail each item of Parent’s report to which such disagreement relates and the basis for each such disagreement. Parent and its accountants and other advisors shall be entitled to review the Representative’s Report, and any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Representative’s Report prepared by or on behalf of Representative and/or its accountants as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access to the work papers of Representative’s outside accountants shall be conditioned upon Parent’s execution of customary indemnification and confidentiality agreements. If Parent shall concur with the adjustments proposed in the Representative’s Report, or if Parent shall not object thereto in a writing delivered to Representative within thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of the Representative’s Report, the calculation of the Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses and the adjustments to the Estimated Merger Consideration to arrive at the Merger Consideration set forth in the Representative’s Report shall become final, conclusive and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. If Representative does not submit the Representative’s Report within the 30-day period provided herein, then the calculation of the Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness, Actual Seller Transaction

Expenses and the adjustments to the Estimated Merger Consideration to arrive at the Merger Consideration set forth in the Parent’s Report shall become final, conclusive and binding on the parties and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment.

(b) In the event that Representative submits the Representative’s Report and Parent objects by written notice as set forth in Section 2.7(a), Parent and Representative shall confer in good faith to attempt to resolve any disagreements between the Parent’s Report and the Representative’s Report. If Parent and Representative are unable to resolve such disagreements within thirty (30) days after the date of Parent’s written objection to the Representative’s Report, then such disagreements shall be referred to the Miami, FL office of (i) PricewaterhouseCoopers or (ii) if that accounting firm is unable or unwilling to serve, another recognized firm of independent certified public accountants selected by mutual agreement of Representative and Parent (the “Settlement Accountants”). The Settlement Accountant shall offer each of Parent and Representative the opportunity to provide written submissions regarding their positions on the disputed matters (with respect to which neither Representative nor Parent shall be bound by the Parent’s Report, the Representative’s Report, nor any objection thereto). The Settlement Accountants shall make a determination solely based on the provisions and definitions of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles, and such written submissions, and solely with respect to the items that remain subject to disagreement. The Settlement Accountants shall deliver a written report resolving only such disputed matters and setting forth the basis for such resolution within thirty (30) days after Representative and Parent submit in writing (or have had the opportunity to submit in writing but have not submitted) their positions as to the disputed items. The Settlement Accountants shall not assign a value to any disputed matter greater than the greatest value for such matter claimed by either party or less than the smallest value claimed for such matter by either party. The determinations of the Settlement Accountants with respect to the Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses, and adjustments to the Estimated Merger Consideration to arrive at the Merger Consideration as a result thereof, shall be final, conclusive and binding and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment. The Settlement Accountants shall use their best efforts to reach a determination not more than forty-five (45) days after such referral.

(c) Each of Parent and Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.7. The costs and expenses of the services of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) if (i) the absolute difference between (A) the sum of Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses resulting from the determination of the Settlement Accountants and (B) the sum of Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses reflected in the Representative’s Report is greater than (ii) the absolute difference between (A) the sum of Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses resulting from the determinations of the Settlement Accountants and (B) the sum of Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses reflected in the Parent’s Report; otherwise, such costs and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by Parent.

2.8 Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment. If the Merger Consideration (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.7) is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration, then Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and the Gain Share Recipients) and Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent (i) to pay to Parent from the Working Capital Escrow Amount an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Parent and (ii) pay to Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) all remaining amounts of the Working Capital Escrow Amount (if any) less the Gain Share Escrow Percentage of such remaining amounts, which shall be paid to the Company for further distribution to the applicable Gain Share Recipients, subject to applicable withholding requirements, and subject to the payment of the employer portion of any applicable payroll, employment or similar Taxes. If the Merger Consideration (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.7) is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration, then (i) Parent shall pay to Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) an amount equal to the amount of

such excess less the aggregate amount payable to or with respect to the Gain Share Recipients of such remaining excess in accordance with the methodology set forth on the Closing Funds Flow Statement (which shall be paid to the Company for further distribution to the applicable Gain Share Recipients, subject to applicable withholding requirements, and subject to the payment of the employer portion of any applicable payroll, employment or similar Taxes) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Representative and (ii) Parent and Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) the Working Capital Escrow Amount less the Gain Share Escrow Percentage of such remaining amounts, which shall be paid to the Company for further distribution to the applicable Gain Share Recipients, subject to applicable withholding requirements, and subject to the payment of the employer portion of any applicable payroll, employment or similar Taxes. Any payments (other than the aggregate amounts payable to or with respect to the Gain Share Recipients) payable by Parent under this Section 2.8 shall be deemed part of the Merger Consideration and treated as additional Stockholder Proceeds, and Representative promptly shall disburse such additional Stockholder Proceeds to each of the Stockholders pro rata as additional Per Share Merger Consideration. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements. To avoid doubt, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7 and 2.8, the Merger Consideration is subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 7.3.

3.8 Employee Plans. Schedule 3.8 lists all Employee Plans.

(a) To the extent applicable with respect to each Employee Plan, true, correct and complete copies of the most recent documents described below have been delivered to Parent: (i) IRS determination letter and any outstanding request for a determination letter; (ii) Form 5500 for the three most recent plan years, including without limitation all schedules thereto; (iii) ruling letter and any outstanding request for a ruling letter with respect to the tax-exempt status of any VEBA which is funding or otherwise exists with respect to such Employee Plan; (iv) in the case of an Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” as defined in Code Section 5000(b)(1), general notification to employees of their rights under Code Section 4980B, form of letters distributed upon the occurrence of a qualifying event described in Code Section 4980B, HIPAA policies and procedures and HIPAA notice of privacy practices; (v) all plan documents and amendments thereto and any written policies and/or procedures used in plan administration; (vi) current summary plan descriptions, summaries of material modifications and insurance certificates; (vii) administrative service agreements and HIPAA business associate agreements; and (viii) related trust agreements, annuity contracts, insurance contracts or other funding instruments that implement or govern each Employee Plan.

(b) Each Employee Plan and related trust agreement, annuity contract or other funding instrument is in compliance in all material respects with and has been administered, operated, and maintained in compliance in all material respects with its terms, ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Legal Requirements. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or is the subject of a favorable opinion letter from the IRS on the form of such Employee Plan, and to Knowledge of Holding nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Employee Plan. None of the Entities has direct or indirect material liability with respect to any Employee Plan under the requirements provided by any and all statutes, orders or governmental rules or regulations, including but not limited to ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA and the Code. With respect to each Employee Plan, no prohibited transactions (as defined in ERISA Section 406 or Code Section 4975) and no violations of ERISA Section 407 for which an applicable statutory or administrative exemption does not exist have occurred and which resulted or would result in material liability to any of the Entities.

(c) None of the Entities nor their ERISA Affiliates has within the past six (6) years contributed to (or been required to contribute to) sponsored or participated in (i) any pension plan or defined benefit pension plan or any other plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, (ii) any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any multiple employer plan (as described in section 413(c) of

Code or section 210 of ERISA) or (iv) any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in section 3(40) of ERISA). None of the Entities has any current or potential liability or obligation under Title IV of ERISA. None of the Employee Plans provides for welfare benefits, and the Entities do not otherwise provide or have liability or obligation to provide for life, health or other welfare benefits to retired employees or to the beneficiaries or dependents of retired employees other than as required by COBRA or similar Legal Requirements.

(d) All of the Employee Plans are, and have been since their establishment, duly registered where required by applicable Legal Requirements and are in good standing thereunder (including registration with the relevant Tax authorities where such registration is required to qualify for Tax exemption or other beneficial Tax status), and all employer obligations in respect of the Employee Plans (including the administration thereof), required under applicable Legal Requirements and their terms have been satisfied and there are no outstanding defaults or violations in respect thereof.

(e) Other than routine claims for benefits, no Employee Plan is subject to any pending action, investigation, examination, claim (including claims for Taxes) or any other proceeding initiated by any Person, and to the Knowledge of Holding there exists no state of facts which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such action, investigation, examination, claim or other proceeding. No Employee Plan is the subject of an audit or other inquiry from the IRS, U.S. Department of Labor, PBGC or other governmental entity. None of the Entities or any Entity director, officer, employee or any plan fiduciary has any material liability for failure to comply with ERISA, HIPAA, COBRA or the Code for any action or failure to act in connection with the administration or investment of any Employee Plan.

(f) All contributions to the Employee Plans required to have been made by the terms of such plan or by applicable Legal Requirements have been made on a timely basis in accordance with ERISA and the Code.

Parent and MergerSub are relying on their own investigation and analysis, and the respective representations and warranties of Holding, Representative and the Stockholders expressly set forth in this Agreement or a Collateral Agreement or as and to the extent required by this Agreement to be set forth in the Schedules referred to herein, and are assuming and relying upon the absence of fraud, in entering into this Agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and specifically disclaim that they are relying upon or have relied upon any other representations and warranties that may be alleged to have been made by Holding, Representative or any other Person, other than the absence of fraud. In the absence of fraud, all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the exclusive remedies set forth in this Agreement for any breach thereof. Assuming and relying upon the absence of fraud, Parent and MergerSub specifically disclaim any obligation or duty of Holding or any of its Affiliates or representatives to make any disclosures of fact not required by this Agreement to be disclosed pursuant to the specific representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or a Collateral Agreement or as and to the extent required by this Agreement to be set forth in the Schedules referred to herein. Assuming and relying upon the absence of fraud, Parent and MergerSub acknowledge that should any of the representations and warranties in this Agreement prove to be untrue, incomplete or incorrect, then they shall have the specific rights and remedies specified in this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements, which have been bargained for at arms’ length, as the exclusive rights and remedies therefor, and that no other rights, remedies or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, or whether in law or equity) are permitted to Parent or MergerSub (or to any other Person claiming through or on behalf of any of them) as a result of any untrue, incomplete or incorrect representation and warranty.

Agreement, and assuming and relying upon the absence of fraud. Accordingly, Parent and MergerSub acknowledge that Holding, Representative and Stockholders have not made any representations, warranties, promises, assurances or guaranties whatsoever with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or a Collateral Agreement, and assuming and relying upon the absence of fraud.

4.8 Funds.

Parent and MergerSub acknowledge and agree that the Merger is to be effected on a “cash-free” basis, and no such withdrawal of cash from the Entities shall be a breach of any representation or warranty or a violation of any covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties agree to reasonably cooperate to ensure that $2,000,000 of cash and cash equivalents remain in the bank and other deposit accounts of the Entities to allow the Entities to operate in the Ordinary Course of Business immediately following the Closing.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 9.1 hereof), from and after the Closing, the Stockholders, severally and not jointly, by virtue of the Merger and, as applicable, pursuant to the Stockholder Support Agreements, shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, Parent’s Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, advisors, successors and assigns (each, a “Parent Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred arising out of or resulting from (i) a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by Holding or Representative in Article III of this Agreement (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of determining any breach, or the Damages relating to any breach, of any such representation or warranty of Holding or Representative, such representations and warranties of Holding or Representative shall be deemed not qualified by any references therein to materiality or Material Adverse Effect), (ii) a breach or default in performance by Holding or Representative of any covenant or agreement of Holding or Representative contained in this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement, (iii) any Seller Transaction Expenses or any Indebtedness of the Entities to the extent not taken into account to reduce the Merger Consideration as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7; (iv) any claim in respect of Dissenting Shares and payments in excess of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration as determined under this Agreement that the holder(s) of any Dissenting Shares would have received in the Merger for such Dissenting Shares had such Dissenting Shares been converted pursuant to Section 1.6, and all interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by Parent, Holding and the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exercise or attempted exercise of any dissenters’ or appraisal rights; (v) any claims made by any Stockholder of the type that would have been released pursuant to the Stockholder Support Agreement had such Stockholder executed such an agreement; and (vi) any claims made for additional amounts owed by the Company in connection with the termination of the Contract set forth on Schedule 3.15(c).

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 9.1 hereof), from and after the Closing, Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders, Stockholders’ Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, advisors, successors and assigns (each, a “Stockholder Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred or to be incurred arising out of or resulting from or relating to (i) a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by Parent in Article IV of this Agreement (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that solely for purposes of determining the Damages relating to any breach of any such representation or warranty of Parent, such representations and warranties of Parent shall be deemed not qualified by any references therein to materiality), and (ii) a breach or default in performance by Parent or MergerSub of any covenant or agreement of Parent or MergerSub contained in this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement.

(c) By execution of a Stockholder Support Agreement, each Stockholder shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless each Parent Indemnified Party from and against, and each Stockholder waives any claim for contribution or indemnity from any Parent Indemnified Parties (including the Surviving Corporation) with respect to any Damages incurred or to be incurred by any of the Parent Indemnified Parties, arising out of or resulting from or relating to (i) a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by such Stockholder in such Stockholder Support Agreement, it being agreed and acknowledged with respect to this Section 7.3(c) that each Stockholder is providing indemnity only with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made by such Stockholder in the Stockholder Support Agreement to which he, she or it is a party and (ii) any breach or default in performance by such Stockholder of any covenant or agreement of such Stockholder contained in such Stockholder Support Agreement to which it is a party, it being agreed and acknowledged with respect to this Section 7.3(c) that each Stockholder is providing indemnity only with respect to breaches of covenants or agreements made by such Stockholder in the Stockholder Support Agreement to which he, she or it is a party.

(d) Any payment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

7.4 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

(a) Parent agrees that the rights to indemnification and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the current or former directors, managers or officers of the Entities (“Covered Persons”), at the levels provided in the respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent constituent documents) as of immediately prior or the Closing, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, or their respective successors, shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Legal Requirements and shall not be deemed to release any Covered Person from his or her obligations pursuant to any Collateral Agreement. No Covered Person has any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from Parent, Surviving Corporation or any of their successors with respect to any Damages claimed by any of the Parent Indemnified Parties against such Covered Person in his or her capacity as a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement.

(b) Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, Parent shall purchase a prepaid insurance policy (i.e., “tail coverage”) which provides “directors and officers” insurance coverage for a period of six (6) years for each of the individuals who were officers, directors, managers or similar functionaries of any of the Entities at or prior to the Closing Date (such policy the “D&O Tail Policy”); provided, however, that the total cost of the D&O Tail Policy to Parent shall not exceed $75,000.

7.5 Books and Records. For a period of six (6) years from the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall provide to Representative reasonable access to the books and records of the Entities upon reasonable advance written notice during regular business hours and without undue interruption to the Entities’ businesses, for the purpose of obtaining information reasonably required in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.1, and will permit Representative to make copies of any such information (at Representative’s sole cost and expense); provided, however, the Surviving Corporation shall have no obligation to retain such books and records of the Entities for a period of time which is greater than the length of Parent’s customary records retention period for books and records of such type. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Holding, nor any other Entity shall have any obligation to provide Representative with any information or documents the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under applicable Legal Requirements or is legally privileged.

7.6 Employment Covenants.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date and (ii) the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Operating Companies, Parent shall and shall cause each applicable Operating Company to provide each employee who remains employed immediately after the Closing (“Continuing Employee”) with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are substantially similar to the base salary or hourly wages provided by the applicable Operating Company immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are substantially similar to the target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) (A) provided by the applicable Operating Company immediately prior to the Closing or (B) provided by Parent and its Affiliates to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates; (iii) retirement and welfare benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate as those (A) provided by the applicable Operating Company immediately prior to the Closing or (B) provided by Parent and its Affiliates to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates; and (iv) severance benefits as set forth on Schedule 7.6(a).

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliates (collectively, “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the applicable Operating Company to, to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Parent Benefit Plan, recognize all service of the Continuing Employees with the Operating Companies as if such service were with Parent, for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Parent Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Employee Plan. With respect to any employee welfare benefit plans maintained by Parent or its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing, Parent shall, to the extent permitted by the applicable Parent Benefit Plan, cause all pre-existing conditions or eligibility limits to be waived and give effect to claims incurred, amounts paid by and amounts reimbursed to employees of the target company prior to the Closing when determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limits under such employee welfare benefit plans.

(c) This Section 7.6 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.6, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.6. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 7.6 shall not create any right in any employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Operating Companies, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

ARTICLE VIII - TAX MATTERS

8.1 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Parent and Representative for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Entities for all taxable periods (i) ending prior to the Closing Date, the due date (including valid extensions of time to file) of which is after the Closing Date, or (ii) including the Closing Date, in each case, in the manner Parent, in its sole good faith and discretion, deems appropriate.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Entities, and Representative shall cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.1 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, (i) written notification of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes which could increase the liability of a party pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the other party’s awareness of the initiation of such audit, litigation or other proceeding, and (ii) the retention and (upon the

other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Representative, Parent, and the Surviving Corporation and the Entities agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Entities relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Parent or Representative, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice (but not less than 10 days) prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Entities or Representative, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

8.2 Transfer Taxes. All federal, state, local, foreign and other transfer (including Taxes imposed on the indirect transfer of any Subsidiary of Holding pursuant to this Agreement), sales, use or similar Taxes applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with the costs of preparing any related Tax Returns, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) and 50% by Parent. Parent shall timely file all Tax Returns required in connection with any Transfer Taxes.

8.3 Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax Sharing Agreements between any of the Entities, on the one hand, and any other Person, on the other, shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, none of the Entities shall be obligated to make any payment pursuant to any such agreement for any past or future period.

ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Limitation on Liability.

(a) The representations and warranties of Holding, the Representative and Parent set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, for the periods as expressly provided in Section 9.1(b). The covenants and obligations contained herein will survive the Closing to the extent necessary to give effect to their respective terms.

(b) Stockholders shall have no liability to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Parities pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.3(a) with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a), Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.18(c), Section 3.23, Section 3.27, Section 3.32 through Section 3.35 (collectively the “Fundamental Representations”), in each case unless Representative receives notice in writing from a Parent Indemnified Party of such Parent Indemnified Party’s claim under said indemnity on or before the six (6) year anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time the Fundamental Representations shall expire. Stockholders shall have no liability to indemnify Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.3(a) with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(b), Sections 3.6 through Section 3.22 (other than Section 3.18(c)), Section 3.24 through Section 3.26, Section 3.28 through Section 3.31 (collectively the “Business Representations” and collectively with the Fundamental Representations, the “Representations”), in each case unless Representative receives notice in writing from a Parent Indemnified Party of such Parent Indemnified Party’s claim under said indemnity on or before the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, at which date the Business Representations shall expire. Any notice shall specify the alleged misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant with reasonable particularity, the sections of this Agreement alleged to have been breached, a good faith estimate (if possible, and based on the information available at that time) of the Damages claimed, and all relevant material facts then known. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing limitations shall not apply in the case of fraud; and, to avoid doubt, a Parent Indemnified Party or a Stockholder Indemnified Party shall be entitled to submit a claim for indemnification for reasonably anticipated Damages in advance of the actual incurrence by any such persons of the same so long as the underlying breach occurs prior to the

expiration of the applicable survival period, which claim, if submitted prior to the expiration of an applicable survival period with regard to the underlying matter, shall preserve such person’s rights to continue to assert such claim (and any Damages relating thereto) relating to the underlying matter following the expiration of the otherwise applicable survival period and shall preserve such person’s rights in the Escrow Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such claim.

(c) For purposes of the indemnification contemplated by Section 7.3(a)(i) hereof, all qualifications and exceptions contained in the Article III representations and warranties relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar impact (but not specific dollar thresholds) shall be disregarded. However, Stockholders shall be obligated to indemnify as and to the extent set forth in Section 7.3(a)(i) of this Agreement with respect to the Representations only if and to the extent the aggregate of all of their Damages to which such indemnity obligations apply exceeds the Deductible, whereupon indemnification shall be available to the Parent Indemnified Parties for the aggregate amount of such losses under Section 7.3(a)(i) up to a maximum amount equal to the Maximum Payment Amount; provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Representations. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1), after Stockholders’ payment of the Maximum Payment Amount as provided in the preceding sentence, in the absence of fraud, any and all claims for indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to breaches of Representations shall be satisfied solely by recovery under the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy; provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Representations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Deductible shall apply to all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.5 and 3.34. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any amounts payable by Stockholders for indemnification claims under Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to breaches of Representations shall be satisfied first from the Indemnity Escrow Amount (and, to avoid doubt, the Gain Share Percentage of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be available for any amounts payable by Stockholders for indemnification claims from the Indemnity Escrow Amount). From and after the Closing, in the absence of fraud, the aggregate amount of Damages that may be recovered by the Parent Indemnified Parties under Section 7.3(a)(ii) through (vi) (inclusive) shall be an amount equal to the Merger Consideration (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7).

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Parent has obtained the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Article III. Parent’s sole and exclusive recourse for Representative’s and/or the Stockholders’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i) with respect to Damages in excess of the Maximum Payment Amount shall be limited to filing a claim under the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy, except with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations and except in the case of fraud. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PARENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES, THAT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF FUNDAMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS AND IN THE CASE OF FRAUD , HOLDING AND REPRESENTATIVE SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT LIABILITY (DERIVATIVELY OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OR INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE MAXIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT. PARENT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OF ITS AFFILIATES, THAT EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, PARENT’S ONLY RECOURSE IN THE EVENT OF ANY BREACH OR INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III OF THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN THE FUNDAMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS, IF THE MAXIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID BY REPRESENTATIVE, SHALL BE TO FILE A CLAIM UNDER THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INSURANCE POLICY. The provisions of this Section 9.1, including the limited remedies provided herein, were specifically bargained-for by the parties to this Agreement, and were taken into account by the parties in arriving at the amount of the Merger Consideration. Holding and Representative expressly have relied upon the provisions of this Section 9.1, including the limited remedies provided herein, together with the provisions of Section 4.7, in agreeing to accept the Merger Consideration and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth in Article III of this Agreement.

(e) From and after the Closing, and subject to Section 7.4(b) and the rights of Parent under the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy, and in the absence of fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of each party with respect to any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement shall be pursuant (and only pursuant) to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.3, Article VIII and this Section 9.1 and in the Stockholder Support Agreements; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.1(e), each party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief in connection with any breach or threatened breach of a covenant or agreement herein, and (ii) to avoid doubt, none of the limitations set forth in Section 9.1(c) shall be applicable to claims for indemnification other than pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(i).

(f) In the event that Parent seeks indemnification on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Party, or the Representative seeks indemnification on behalf of a Stockholder Indemnified Party, such party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted; provided, however, that the right of a person to be indemnified hereunder shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually and materially damaged thereby. Subject to the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a notice pursuant to this Section 9.1(f), either pay the amount of any valid claim or deliver written notice to the Indemnified Party disputing such claim in whole or in part; provided, however, the failure of the Indemnifying Party to deliver a written notice disputing such claim within the thirty (30) day period shall be deemed as a dispute of such claim in its entirety. In cases where the Indemnifying Party disputes a claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly consult with the Indemnifying Party in an effort to resolve the dispute. If any such dispute cannot be resolved by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days, the Indemnified Party may seek to enforce its rights under Section 7.3 and this Section 9.1 as set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of Section 7.3 and this Section 9.1, the Representative has the full, and sole and exclusive, authority to act, and shall act, on behalf of the Representative, the Stockholders and any Stockholder Indemnified Person as either an Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and a notification to the Representative shall be deemed to constitute a notification of each Stockholder.

(g) If any third party shall notify in writing any Indemnified Party with respect to the assertion by such third party or any other person not a party hereto of a claim or commencement of any proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party under Section 7.3, then the Indemnified Party shall reasonably promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give the Indemnifying Party such notice within such time period shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(h) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to litigate, contest and defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (and, subject to Section 9.1(i) hereof, negotiate and settle such Third Party Claim) so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing by delivering an unconditional acknowledgement, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any and all Damages the Indemnified Party suffers or could reasonably be expected to suffer resulting from or arising out of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Third Party Claim does not seek a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party or involve criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (iii) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, or to exceed the amount to which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder by more than 50% of such amount, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. In the event that

the Indemnifying Party does not elect (within the requisite thirty (30) day period) to, or does not have the right to, control the defense and settlement of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have the control over said defense and settlement of the subject claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing, and the Indemnifying Party, if it is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, will be liable for all costs and settlement amounts paid or incurred in connection therewith.

(i) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the first sentence of Section 9.1(h) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably, it being agreed that it would be unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement pursuant to which (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person, or finding of responsibility or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party, or obligation of the Indemnified Party for any damages or other amount (other than monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party), or any Lien on any property of the Indemnified Party, or any sanction or injunction of, restriction upon the conduct of any business by, or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(j) Parent shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement if and to the extent that the Damages incurred or to be incurred by the Parent Indemnified Parties arising out of or resulting from or related to such breach were actually taken into account in, included in or resolved by or as part of the determination of the Merger Consideration (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.7) (in each such case, as evidenced by written communications exchanged between Parent and the Representative or their respective accountants, or the Settlement Accountants). To the extent required under applicable law, each Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any Damages which it or any other Indemnified Party may suffer in consequence of any fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement or likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

(k) No information or knowledge acquired, or investigations conducted, by Parent or its Representatives, of Holding, any Subsidiary of Holding, or any of their respective businesses, assets, liabilities or otherwise, shall in any way limit, or constitute a waiver of, or a defense to, any claim for indemnification or other claim by Parent or any Parent Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

(l) Neither the Representative nor any Stockholder shall have any claim for contribution from or against the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of any indemnification or other payments made to any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(vi), (i) the Stockholders shall have no liability to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Party with respect thereto unless a claim is brought against the Company for additional amounts owed in connection with the termination of the Contract set forth on Schedule 3.15(c) and the Representative receives notice thereof in writing from Parent of such claim on or before the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the aggregate amount of all Damages for which the Stockholders shall be liable shall not exceed $330,000 and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to control, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any such claim.

9.2 Confidentiality.

(a) Prior to the Closing, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives and advisers to, hold in strict confidence all, and not divulge or disclose any, information of any kind concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or Holding, or their respective businesses; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of confidence shall not apply to (i) information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any Stockholder, any party hereto, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers, (ii) information disclosed in connection with a party’s enforcement of its rights hereunder, and (iii) information that is required to be disclosed by Parent, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers as a result of any applicable Legal Requirement (including the requirements of any stock exchange), provided that Parent shall promptly notify Holding and Representative of any disclosure pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 9.2. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms. If the Closing occurs in accordance with this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be terminated at the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(3), the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal tax treatment and tax structure of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) After the Closing, Representative shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives to hold in strict confidence all, and not divulge or disclose any, or use any, confidential documents or information concerning the Entities or the Business; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of confidence shall not apply to: (i) information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any Stockholder, or the Representative, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers, (ii) information disclosed in connection with Representative’s enforcement of its rights hereunder, and (iii) information that is required to be disclosed by Representative, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers as a result of any applicable Legal Requirement (including the requirements of any stock exchange), provided that Representative shall promptly notify Parent of any disclosure pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 9.2(b).

9.3 Brokers. Regardless of whether the Closing shall occur, (i) Fund V shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent from and against any and all liability for any broker’s or finder’s fees arising with respect to brokers or finders retained or engaged by or on behalf of Fund V or its Affiliate in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Fund V from and against any and all liability for any brokers’ or finders’ fees arising with respect to brokers or finders retained or engaged by or on behalf of Parent or its Affiliate in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 9.3 shall survive termination of the Agreement.

9.4 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, each of the parties to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and closing of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be responsible the full amount of the Representations and Warranties Policy Fees, and the Stockholders (and the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders), and not Parent, Holding or any other Entity, shall be responsible for the full amount of any Seller Transaction Expenses.

9.5 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction, correspondence or other document to be given hereunder by any party hereto to another (herein collectively called “Notice”) shall be in writing and delivered personally; mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested; delivered by nationally or internationally recognized overnight delivery service; or given by electronic mail or facsimile, as follows:

FORM OF STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT

STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of [●], 2016 (this “Agreement”), is by and among Handstands Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holding”), Trivest Partners V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as representative (“Representative”), Energizer Holdings, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned holders of capital stock of Holding set forth on the signature pages hereto (each, a “Supporting Stockholder”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Holding has determined it is in the best interests of the stockholders of Holding for Holding to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Energizer Reliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, will merge with and into Holding (the “Merger”), with Holding surviving as a subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, each Supporting Stockholder holds of record and owns the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Holding (including any change in such shares by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion of securities, exchange of shares or the like, “Common Stock”) as set forth below such Supporting Stockholder’s name on such Supporting Stockholder’s signature page hereto (the “Owned Shares” and the Owned Shares and any additional shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of Holding of which such Supporting Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, including by purchase, as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange or change of such shares, or upon exercise or conversion of any securities, such Stockholder’s “Covered Shares”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent’s obligations to consummation the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent, Holding and Representative desire that each Supporting Stockholder agree, and each Supporting Stockholder is willing to agree, to enter into this Agreement. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Holding, Representative, and each Supporting Stockholder, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

(1) Voting of Holding Stock. Each Supporting Stockholder hereby agrees to, and hereby irrevocably consents, without a meeting and without prior notice, pursuant to Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), to the adoption hereof, of the resolutions set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Written Consent”). Each Supporting Stockholder irrevocably agrees not to vote or cause or permit to be voted, the Covered Shares, or consent to any action by written consent, in any manner (i) contrary to the Written Consent or (ii) in favor of any other action, agreement or proposal that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, frustrate, prevent, nullify or adversely affect the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(2) Treatment Under Merger Agreement. Each Supporting Stockholder acknowledges and agrees to the treatment, payments, terms and conditions applicable to the Common Stock under the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, Article I and Article II of the Merger Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Supporting Stockholder agrees that, following payment by Parent of the amounts required to be paid by Parent to the Representative and other Persons in accordance with Section 1.8 of the Merger Agreement, such Supporting Stockholder shall have no claim against Holding or any other Person for Merger Consideration or any other consideration in connection with any Common Stock owned by such Supporting Stockholder, and such Supporting Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that such Supporting Stockholder shall look and have recourse solely to Representative for payment of any amounts due to such Supporting Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement or as a result of the Merger, including with respect to any Gain Share Payment to which such Supporting Stockholder is entitled. Without limiting the foregoing, each Supporting

Stockholder agrees that, to the extent that such Supporting Stockholder is the debtor pursuant to any loan extended by any of the Entities, as contemplated by Section 1.8 of the Merger Agreement, such loans (including any interest or other amounts payable to any of the Entities with respect thereto) shall be repaid out of the proceeds that such Supporting Stockholder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement as a Supporting Stockholder.

(3) Grant of Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.

(a) Each Supporting Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Representative as proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Supporting Stockholder, to vote all Covered Shares owned by such Supporting Stockholder that are entitled to vote (whether pursuant to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Holding, any contract or applicable law), or grant a consent or approval in respect of such Covered Shares, including the Written Consent (to the extent such Written Consent is not executed by the Supporting Stockholder), or execute such other documents, in each case in order to approve and effectuate the Merger Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. Each Supporting Stockholder hereby ratifies and approves each and every action taken, decision made or instruction given by such proxy and attorney-in-fact pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 hereof and this Section 3. Each Supporting Stockholder will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to the Covered Shares (such Supporting Stockholder hereby representing to Parent that any such proxy is not irrevocable).

(b) Each Supporting Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Merger Agreement is being entered into by the parties thereto, including Parent, in reliance upon the irrevocable proxy set forth in Subsection 3(a) hereof. Each Supporting Stockholder hereby affirms (i) that the irrevocable proxy set forth in Subsection 3(a) hereof is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Supporting Stockholder under Section 1 of this Agreement and (ii) that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Representative shall have no authority to vote the Common Stock with respect to the consent or approval of any payment that could constitute a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

(4) Representative.

(a) Each Supporting Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Representative as its representative, agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Supporting Stockholder, with the same effect as if taken by such Supporting Stockholder, with full power and authority to take any and all actions and execute any and all documents and agreements in such Supporting Stockholder’s name, place and stead and on its behalf, with the same effect as if such action were taken or such document or agreement were executed by such Supporting Stockholder, in connection with any matter or thing relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the power and authority to (i) institute, make or pursue claims, counterclaims or defenses, (ii) enter into, modify, amend, implement or waive any contracts, including the Merger Agreement and the Collateral Agreements, (iii) compromise, surrender or settle any disputes or claims or make any other determination or take any other action or assert or compromise any claim relating to the Merger Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including any adjustments in connection with the determination of the Actual Closing Working Capital, Actual Closing Cash, Actual Closing Indebtedness and Actual Seller Transaction

(b) Representative hereby accepts its appointment as “Representative” hereunder.

If Representative resigns or is so removed, then a replacement Representative shall be designated by the Supporting Stockholders (or their successors-in-interest) having a majority of the ownership percentage in Holding. Any such replacement Representative will have the full power and authority of Representative hereunder.

(d) Any Person (including Parent and Merger Sub) shall be entitled to rely, without any investigation or inquiry by such Person, upon all actions, notices, communications and determinations by Representative on behalf of the Supporting Stockholders as having been taken upon the authority of the Supporting Stockholders. Any actions, notices, communications and determinations by Representative taken on behalf of the Supporting Stockholders shall be conclusively deemed to be the actions, notices, communications and determinations of the Supporting Stockholders.

(e) Neither Representative nor any of its officers, employees, agents, partners, representatives or Affiliates will have any liability to Holding or the Supporting Stockholders with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by Representative in such capacity (or any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates in connection therewith), except with respect to Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative, its officers, employees, agents, partners, representatives and Affiliates shall be entitled to full reimbursement from the Supporting Stockholders for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by Representative in such capacity (or any of its officers, employees, agents, partners, representatives or Affiliates in connection therewith), and to full indemnification by the Supporting Stockholders (pro rata to their interests) against any Losses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Representative (except for those arising out of Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims (including, without limitation, from funds received by it in its capacity as Representative or funds to be distributed to the Supporting Stockholders under the Merger Agreement at its direction). In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, the Supporting Stockholders agree that Representative shall have the power and authority to set aside and retain additional funds paid to or received by it, or direct payment of additional funds to be paid to the Supporting Stockholders, as Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement at Closing or thereafter to satisfy such obligations (including to establish such reserves as Representative determines in good faith to be appropriate for such costs and expenses whether or not then known or determinable).

(f) Representative shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement and Collateral Agreements. Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem appropriate in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. Representative

- 3 -

may rely on any notice, instruction, certificate, statement, request, consent, confirmation, agreement or other instrument which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons.

(g) The relationship created herein is not to be construed as a joint venture or any form of partnership between or among Representative or any Supporting Stockholder for any purpose of federal or state law, including without limitation, federal or state income tax purposes. Neither Representative nor any of its Affiliates owes any fiduciary or other duty to any Supporting Stockholder. Each Supporting Stockholder acknowledges that it understands that Representative and its Affiliates have a direct and/or indirect financial interest in the Merger, including by virtue of its ownership of shares of Common Stock of Holding and by virtue of fees that will be payable to Representative in connection with the Merger pursuant to that certain Management Agreement, dated May 1, 2013, executed by Representative, Holding, and Company.

(5) No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Representative any direct ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by Supporting Stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, all rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the shares of Common Stock shall remain vested in and belong to the Supporting Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5 shall be construed to limit the ability of Representative to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement pursuant to the authority granted hereunder.

(6) Representations and Warranties of Supporting Stockholders. Each Supporting Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Parent, Representative and Holding as follows:

FIFTH: All corporate powers of the Corporation shall be exercised by or under the direction of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the Board is expressly authorized:

(i) to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws made by the Board; and

(ii) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, at what time and place, and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of any stockholder; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation except as provided by applicable law or the Bylaws of the Corporation or as authorized by resolution of the stockholders or the Board.

SIXTH: No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. This provision is not intended to eliminate or narrow any defenses to or protection against liability otherwise available to directors of the Corporation. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

SEVENTH:

A. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person of whom such person is a legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the Corporation in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be) indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation (and any successor to the Corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) paid or incurred by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

B. To the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, each indemnitee shall have (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to have) the right to be paid by the Corporation (and any successor to the Corporation by merger or otherwise) the expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if ultimately it should be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under the DGCL.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for proceedings to enforce any officer’s or director’s rights to indemnification or any director’s rights to advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any indemnitee, or advance expenses of any indemnitee (or such person’s heirs, executors or administrators) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

D. The Board may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the DGCL. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Article Seventh shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person may otherwise be or become entitled or permitted under this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

E. To the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL.

F. This Article Seventh shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to, or to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of, persons other than indemnitees or to advance expenses to persons other than directors of the Corporation.

G. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision contained in Article Seventh shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors or officers) and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any current or former director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

EIGHTH: To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the event that either the Corporation or any stockholder of the Corporation acquires knowledge of any potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter which may be an opportunity for both the Corporation and such stockholder, neither the Corporation nor such stockholder will have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the other and such stockholder will not be liable to the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation will not be liable to such stockholder, by reason of the fact that the Corporation or such stockholder, as the case may be, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself or does not communicate such opportunity or information regarding such opportunity to such stockholder or the Corporation, as the case may be.

NINTH: If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

TENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders, directors and officers herein are granted subject to this reservation.

(iii) The Escrow Agent shall act solely upon such Joint Instruction that it receives and shall not be responsible for determining whether the payment is in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

(b) Disbursement of Indemnity Escrow Amount Pursuant to Claims.

(i) Parent and the Representative agree that upon final determination that any amount is due and owing to a Parent Indemnified Party to satisfy, at least in part, any claims (i) by Parent Indemnified Parties for satisfaction of any indemnification claims of any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Merger Agreement or (ii) otherwise made by Parent or any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to the Merger Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent permitted to be made under the Merger Agreement [Note: Conforming to Merger Agreement language] (each such amount, an “Indemnity Claim Amount”), Parent and the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent from the Escrow Property the Indemnity Claim Amount.

(ii) In the event that any Indemnity Claim Amount is determined pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the Merger Agreement including, as applicable a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final arbitration decision to which no appeal is pending from such judgment or decision and if the time to appeal therefrom has elapsed (a “Directive”), Parent or the Representative may, at their sole discretion, provide a copy of such final Directive to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the non-instructing Party), accompanied along with a written instruction to the Escrow Agent from the instructing Party to effectuate such Directive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall funds be released to the Representative pursuant to a Directive (A) prior to the Interim Release Date, in any event or (B) following the Interim Release Date and prior to the Termination Date, unless such funds would otherwise be subject to release pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), below.

(i) Promptly following the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement (the “Interim Release Date”), Parent and the Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to the Representative for distribution to the Stockholders and the Gain Share Recipients an amount equal to the amount of any remaining Escrow Property in excess of (A) $[ ] [NTD: 50% of initial indemnity escrow amount] plus (B) any unresolved claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties as of the Interim Release Date under the terms of the Merger Agreement (“Unresolved Claims”); provided, that, if the balance of the Escrow Account, taking into account any Unresolved Claims, as of the Interim Release Date is less than $[ ] [NTD: 50% of initial indemnity escrow amount] no disbursements shall be made pursuant to this Section 3(c); and provided, further that if no disbursement is made in accordance with the foregoing

provision and subsequent to the Interim Release Date and prior to the Termination Date, any amounts previously claimed by Parent to be owed to a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 3 hereof are finally determined not to be so owed to a Parent Indemnified Party (a “Resolved Claim Amount”), then the portion of such Resolved Claim Amount equal to the shortfall between (x) the remaining balance in the Escrow Account, taking into account any Unresolved Claims, and (y) $[ ] [NTD: 50% of initial indemnity escrow amount] shall be retained in the Escrow Account, and Parent and the Representative shall deliver a Joint Instruction to the Escrow Agent directing that the remaining portion of the Resolved Claim Amount, together with any interest, dividends, gains and other income earned with respect thereto, be released to the Representative (for distribution by the Representative to the Stockholders and the Gain Share Recipients).

(ii) Promptly following the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”), Parent and the Representative shall deliver notice to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release to the Representative for distribution to the Stockholders and the Gain Share Recipients an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount remaining in the Escrow Account as of the Termination Date and (ii) any unresolved claims made by the Parent Indemnified Parties as of the Termination Date under the terms of the Merger Agreement. Any Escrow Funds held by the Escrow Agent beyond the Termination Date shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the applicable party or parties at such time as a Joint Instruction or a Directive is delivered to the Escrow Agent. Parent and the Representative shall use their respective reasonable efforts to resolve all disputes or claims as promptly as possible following the Termination Date.

(d) Other Disbursements. At any time prior to the Termination Date, Parent and the Representative may deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Instruction relating to the disposition of the Escrow Property in a writing signed by Parent and the Representative, and the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with any such Joint Instruction.

(e) Remedy Not Exclusive. The Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that the payment of Escrow Property to any Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect any right of indemnification or payment which such Parent Indemnified Parties may have pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Merger Agreement or otherwise under the Merger Agreement or pursuant to the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy and that the Escrow Property does not constitute an exclusive remedy for Damages incurred by, or other amounts owed to, such Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Merger Agreement except to the extent set forth in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, in the event that the amounts distributed to Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 3 are insufficient to fully indemnify Parent Indemnified Parties for all Damages (including Damages arising after distribution of all the Escrow Funds and the termination of this Escrow Agreement) or to fully satisfy other claims of Parent Indemnified Parties under the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders shall be liable to Parent Indemnified Parties for such amounts in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(f) Any disbursements pursuant to this Section 3 will be made by the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Days (as defined in Section 6) after the Escrow Agent verifies the payments instructions in accordance with the procedure set forth on Schedule II.

From time to time, an Interested Party may, by delivering to the other parties a revised certificate in the form of Schedule I, change the information previously given, but each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then-current schedule until receipt of a superseding schedule.

5. Facsimile/Email Instructions. Each of the Interested Parties hereby provides to the Escrow Agent and agrees with and accepts the authorizations, limitations of liability, indemnities, security procedure and other provisions set forth on Schedule II hereto in connection with the Escrow Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with instructions and directions sent by such parties via e-mail, facsimile and other similar unsecured electronic methods.

4. The Escrow Agent.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable (i) for acting in accordance with or relying upon (and shall be fully protected in relying upon) any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from any Interested Party, any entity acting on behalf of any Interested Party or any other person or entity which it reasonably believes to be genuine, (ii) for any indirect, consequential, punitive or special damages, even if advised of the possibility thereof, (iii) for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, subagents or subcustodians selected by it in good faith, or (iv) for an amount in excess of the value of the Escrow Property.

6. Statements. The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Interested Parties statements (not less frequently than monthly) reflecting activity in the Escrow Account for the preceding period. No statement need be provided for periods in which no Escrow Account activity occurred. Each such statement shall be deemed to be correct and final upon receipt thereof by the Interested Parties unless the Escrow Agent is notified in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of such statement. A “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the Escrow Agent is open for business.

7. Limitation of Escrow Agent’s Responsibility.

The Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole discretion, to

commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as it may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary.

12. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

21. Certain Tax Matters. Except as provided in paragraph 4(b) of the Terms and Conditions above, the Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrowed Property but is serving as escrow holder only and

having only possession thereof. The Interested Parties shall jointly and severally be obligated to and shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for any transfer taxes or other taxes relating to the Escrowed Property incurred in connection herewith and shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent for any amounts that it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes. As between Parent and the Representative, fifty percent (50%) of any such payment, reimbursement or indemnification obligation is to be borne by Parent, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by the Representative, on the other hand. Any payments of income from this Escrow Account shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes.

Accordingly, each Interested Party agrees to provide to the Escrow Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Escrow Agent to comply with Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, information as to name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Escrow Agent to identify and verify such Interested Party such as organizational documents, certificates of good standing, licenses to do business or other pertinent identifying information. Each Interested Party understands and agrees that the Escrow Agent cannot open the Escrow Account unless and until the Escrow Agent verifies the identities of the Interested Parties in accordance with its CIP.

23. Shareholder Communication Act, Etc. With respect to securities issued in the United States, the Shareholders Communications Act of 1985 (the “Act”) requires Escrow Agent to disclose to the issuers, upon their request, the name, address and securities position of Parent who are (a) the “beneficial owners” (as defined in the Act) of the issuer’s securities, if the beneficial owner does not object to such disclosure, or (b) acting as a “respondent bank” (as defined in the Act) with respect to the securities. (Under the Act, “respondent banks” do not have the option of objecting to such disclosure upon the issuers’ request.) The Act defines a “beneficial owner” as any person who has, or shares, the power to vote a security (pursuant to an agreement or otherwise), or who directs the voting of a security. The Act defines a “respondent bank” as any bank, association or other entity that exercises fiduciary powers which holds securities on behalf of beneficial owners and deposits such securities for safekeeping with a bank, such as Escrow Agent. Under the Act, Parent is either the “beneficial owner” or a “respondent bank.”

¨	Parent is the “beneficial owner,” as defined in the Act, of the securities to be held by Escrow Agent hereunder.

¨	Parent is not the beneficial owner of the securities to be held by Escrow Agent, but is acting as a “respondent bank,” as defined in the Act, with respect to the securities to be held by Escrow Agent hereunder.

IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, ESCROW AGENT SHALL ASSUME THAT PARENT IS THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SECURITIES.

For beneficial owners of the securities only:

¨	Parent objects

¨	Parent does not object

to the disclosure of its name, address and securities position to any issuer which requests such information pursuant to the Act for the specific purpose of direct communications between such issuer and Parent.

IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, ESCROW AGENT SHALL RELEASE SUCH INFORMATION UNTIL IT RECEIVES A CONTRARY WRITTEN INSTRUCTION FROM PARENT.

With respect to securities issued outside of the United States, information shall be released to issuers only if required by law or regulation of the particular country in which the securities are located.

Parent agrees to disseminate in a timely manner any proxies or requests for voting instructions, other proxy soliciting material, information statements, and/or annual reports that it receives to any other beneficial owners.

24. Disclosure; Information Sharing. [Note: BNY to provide form of NDA.] The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation is a global financial organization that provides services to clients through its affiliates and subsidiaries in multiple jurisdictions (the “BNY Mellon Group”). The BNY Mellon Group may centralize functions including audit, accounting, risk, legal, compliance, sales, administration, product communication, relationship management, storage, compilation and analysis of customer-related data, and other functions (the “Centralized Functions”) in one or more affiliates, subsidiaries and third-party service providers. Each Interested Party consents to the disclosure of and authorizes BNY Mellon to disclose information regarding such Interested Party to the BNY Mellon Group and to its third-party service providers who are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to such information, in connection with the Centralized Functions. In addition, the BNY Mellon Group may aggregate such Interested Party’s data with other data collected and/or calculated by the BNY Mellon Group and the BNY Mellon Group will own all such aggregated data, provided that the BNY Mellon Group shall not distribute or disclosed any such aggregated data in a format that identifies the Interested Party or the Interested Party’s data with the Interested Party. Each Interested Party acknowledges that BNY Mellon may store the names and business addresses of such Interested Party’s employees on the systems or in the records of the BNY Mellon Group or its service providers for purposes of the Centralized Functions.

25. Successors and Assigns of Escrow Agent. Any corporation or other company into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other company succeeding to the business of the Escrow Agent shall be the successor of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and shall succeed to all of the Escrow Agent’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

26. Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment. Nothing set forth in this Escrow Agreement shall be construed to confer any benefit to any third party who is not a party to this Escrow Agreement, other than the Parent Indemnified Parties who are intended to be third party beneficiaries hereunder in the manner and to the extent stated herein. This Escrow Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder and shall not be assigned by any party by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the non-assigning parties, provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to transfer and assign any and all of its rights and obligations to any entity which at the time of such transfer and assignment is controlled by Parent or by Affiliates of Parent. No assignment of the interest of any of the parties hereto shall be binding upon the Escrow Agent unless and until written notice of such assignment shall be filed with and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. Nothing contained herein shall restrict the assignment of this Escrow Agreement by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 25 above.

ELECTRONIC METHODS AUTHORIZATION, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

Interested Party Authorization, Limitation of Liability and Indemnity. Each Interested Party hereby authorizes the Escrow Agent and its affiliates (the “Bank”) to rely upon and comply with instructions and directions sent by it via e-mail, facsimile and other similar unsecured electronic methods (but excluding on-line communications systems covered by a separate agreement (such as the Bank’s Inform or CA$H-Register Plus system) (“On-Line Communications Systems”)) (“Electronic Methods”) by persons reasonably believed by the Bank to be authorized to give instructions and directions on behalf of the Interested Party. Except as set forth below with respect to funds transfers, the Bank shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person who sent such instructions or directions is, in fact, a person authorized to give instructions or directions on behalf of the Interested Party (other than to verify that the signature on a facsimile is the signature of a person authorized to give instructions and directions on behalf of the Interested Party); and the Bank shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by the relevant Interested Party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions or directions. Each Interested Party agrees to assume all risks arising out of its own use of Electronic Methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Funds Transfer Security Procedures. With respect to any “funds transfer,” as defined in Article 4-A of the Uniform Commercial Code, the following security procedure will apply: An Interested Party’s payment instruction is to include the name and (in the case of a facsimile) signature of the person initiating the funds transfer request. If the name is listed as an Authorized Person on a certificate in the form of Schedule I hereto delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the Bank will confirm the instructions by telephone call to any person listed as an Authorized Person, who may be the same person who initiated the instruction. When calling back, the Bank will request from the relevant Interested Party’s staff member his or her name. If the name is listed in the Escrow Agent’s records as an Authorized Person, the Bank will confirm the instructions with respect to amount, names and numbers of accounts to be charged or credited and other relevant reference information. Where the Agreement contemplates a Joint Instruction from the Interested Parties, the Escrow Agent shall call back both Parent and the Representative. Each Interested Party acknowledges that the Bank has offered such Interested Party other security procedures that are more secure and are commercially reasonable for such Interested Party, and that such Interested Party has nonetheless chosen the procedures described in this paragraph. Each Interested Party agrees to be bound by any payment order issued in its name, whether or not authorized, that is accepted by the Bank in accordance with the above procedures. When instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alpha-numeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or account number), the Bank, and any other bank participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies a party different than the party named. This applies to beneficiaries as well as any intermediary bank. Each Interested Party agrees to be bound by the rules of any funds transfer network used in connection with any payment order accepted by the Bank hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall not be obliged to make any payment or otherwise to act on any instruction notified to it under this Agreement if it is unable to validate the authenticity of the request by telephoning an Authorized Person who has not executed the relevant request or instruction of the relevant Interested Party. Payment or otherwise to act on any instruction by Authorized Person of the relevant Interested Party will be made by the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Days (as defined in Section 6) after Escrow Agent’s verification of instructions as set forth above.

Authorization. This authorization shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the date it is canceled, revoked or amended by written notice received by the Escrow Agent; and replaces and supersedes any previous authorization from an Interested Party to the Bank relating to the giving of instructions by facsimile, e-mail or other similar Electronic Methods (but excluding On-Line Communications Systems) in relation to this Agreement, and is in addition to all other authorizations. Notwithstanding any revocation, cancellation or amendment of this authorization, any action taken by the Bank pursuant to this authorization prior to the Bank’s actual receipt and acknowledgement of a notice of revocation, cancellation or amendment shall not be affected by such notice.

Indemnity. Each Interested Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank against any and all claims, losses, damages liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Bank as a result of or in connection with the Bank’s reliance

upon and compliance with instructions or directions given by such Interested Party (and, to avoid doubt, not any other Interested Party) by Electronic Methods, provided, however, that such Losses have not arisen from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Bank.

Representation. Each Interested Party hereby represents and warrants to the Bank that this authorization is properly given and has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Interested Party.
