Section 2.9 Payment of Consideration; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Illinois Stock Transfer Company (the “Paying Agent”) shall act as paying agent. At least 30 days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, a letter of transmittal and instructions in customary form to be mutually agreed between Buyer and the Company prior to the Closing Date (the “Letter of Transmittal”).

(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 9.5, Buyer shall deposit with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares), for payment through the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 2.9, cash in an amount equal to the Aggregate Stockholder Closing Proceeds (less any amounts that Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit with the Paying Agent on Buyer’s behalf immediately after the Effective Time) (the “Payment Fund”). The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions from the Seller Representative, make the payments provided for in Section 2.6 out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as provided in this Agreement. Upon surrender of a

Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (subject to the provisions of Section 2.11) the applicable Per Share Cash Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Share, and the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Capital Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered, if such Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Share is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.9, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11, each Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the applicable Per Share Cash Consideration in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock represented by such Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Share. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share. The applicable Per Share Cash Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of Stock Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Stock Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and from and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

(c) Each holder of Vested Options, but excluding any Out of the Money Options, shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation in exchange therefor the aggregate Option Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Vested Option. The aggregate Option Consideration delivered in respect of each such Vested Option (whether paid by the Surviving Corporation to such Optionholder or payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement) shall be deemed to have been delivered (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Vested Option.

(d) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Buyer, upon demand, and any holder of a Stock Certificate or a Book-Entry Share who has not previously complied with this Section 2.9 prior to the end of such six (6) month period shall thereafter look only to Buyer for payment of its claim for the applicable Per Share Cash Consideration in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock represented by such Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Share.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of any Buyer Party, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Net Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by Buyer with the consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be placed in the Payment Fund and be payable to Buyer.

(g) Each of the Buyer Parties, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent and any Affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Net Merger Consideration or consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Stockholder, Cash-Out Optionholder or other Person, such amounts as such payor reasonably determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable provision of Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by any Buyer Parties, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any of their Affiliates, as the case may be, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by such Buyer Parties, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any of their Affiliates, as the case may be.

Section 2.10 Escrow Account. Prior to or simultaneously with the Effective Time, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall enter into the Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent. At the Effective Time, Buyer shall deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Escrow Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing (the “Escrow Account”), the Escrow Amount. Distributions of any cash from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.11 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting the consequence of any notice delivered pursuant to the Drag Letter, any shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Stockholders who, in accordance with Section 262 et seq. of the DGCL (the ”Appraisal Rights Provisions”) (i) have not voted in favor of adopting this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and (ii) shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with the Appraisal Rights Provisions, and not effectively withdrawn, lost or failed to perfect their rights to appraisal (collectively, the ”Dissenting Shares”), will not be converted as described in Section 2.6, but at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under the Appraisal Rights Provisions; provided, however, that all shares of Company Capital Stock held by Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the Appraisal Rights Provisions shall thereupon be deemed to have been cancelled and retired and to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the applicable Per Share Cash Consideration, without interest, in the manner provided in Section 2.6. Persons who have perfected statutory rights with respect to Dissenting Shares as aforesaid will not be paid by the Surviving Corporation as provided in this Agreement and will have only such rights as are provided by the Appraisal Rights Provisions with respect to such Dissenting Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any such Stockholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon cease to be Dissenting Shares, including for purposes of Section 2.6, and shall be deemed to have been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration as provided for in Section 2.6. The Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for the exercise of appraisal rights with respect to shares of Common Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. From and after the Effective Time, neither any of the Buyer Parties nor the Company shall make, except with the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands for which the Indemnifying Parties would be required to provide indemnification under Section 9.2(a), unless Buyer agrees in writing to irrevocably forego indemnification on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for such payment and any related Losses.

(b) Each dissenting Stockholder who becomes entitled under the Appraisal Rights Provisions to payment for Dissenting Shares shall receive payment

therefor after the Effective Time from the Surviving Corporation (but only after the amount thereof shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the Appraisal Rights Provisions), and such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be cancelled.

Section 2.12 Post-Closing Adjustment

(a) Delivery of Closing Date Schedule. Within seventy-five (75) days following the Closing Date, Buyer, at its expense, shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement (the “Closing Date Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail (i) the Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) the Closing Cash (the “Closing Cash Amount”), (iii) the Funded Indebtedness, (iv) the Unpaid Transaction Expenses and (v) the computation of the Final Net Merger Consideration based on the foregoing. The Closing Date Schedule will be prepared in good faith, in accordance with the Accounting Principles. Provided the Company has available such information that is reasonably necessary to allow Buyer to prepare the Closing Date Schedule, if Buyer does not deliver the Closing Date Schedule prior to 75^th day following the Closing Date, the Net Merger Consideration (together with all components thereof), as set forth on the Estimated Closing Date Schedule, shall be determinative for purposes of this Section 2.12 and shall be final, binding and non-appealable on all of the parties to this Agreement. The Seller Representative shall have the right to review the Closing Date Schedule for a period of thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Closing Date Schedule by Buyer (the “Review Period”). During the Review Period in connection with its review of the Closing Date Schedule, Buyer shall grant reasonable access to the Seller Representative and its accountants to the work papers, back-up materials and books and records used in preparing the Closing Date Schedule, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice subject to the execution by the Seller Representative of a customary access letter, and any delay in making such documents and materials available shall result in an automatic extension of the Review Period by a number of days equal to such delay.

(b) Objections. The Seller Representative shall have the right to object to any amount or computation appearing in the Closing Date Schedule on the basis of mathematical error or failure to prepare the Closing Date Schedule in accordance with this Agreement, by notifying Buyer in writing (such notice, a “Dispute Notice”) of such objections and setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the amount disputed and the basis for the Seller Representative’s disagreement therewith, together with supporting calculations and the Seller Representative’s position as to the proper calculation of the Final Net Merger Consideration, prior to the expiration of the Review Period. If the Seller Representative does not deliver any Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Final Net Merger Consideration (together with all

components thereof), as set forth on the Closing Date Schedule, shall be determinative for purposes of this Section 2.12 and shall be final, binding and non-appealable on all of the parties to this Agreement.

(c) Resolution of Disputes. If the Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall, during the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of the Dispute Notice, attempt in good faith jointly to resolve the matters set forth in the Dispute Notice. In the event the Seller Representative and Buyer cannot resolve all of such matters by the end of such thirty (30) day period, either party may immediately engage the Neutral Accountant to resolve any items that remain in dispute. Each of Buyer and the Seller Representative shall present its position on the disputed items to the Neutral Accountant in writing within fifteen (15) days of the engagement of the Neutral Accountant, and the parties shall require the Neutral Accountant, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, to resolve, based only on the presentations by Buyer and the Seller Representative and not by independent review, only the matters raised in the Dispute Notice and not resolved by the Seller Representative and Buyer including the revisions, if any, to be made to the Closing Date Schedule and the Final Net Merger Consideration. The resolution by the Neutral Accountant of such matters shall be within the range of the amounts claimed by the Seller Representative and Buyer in their written submissions to the Neutral Accountant and the Neutral Accountant shall be bound by the relevant definitions set forth in this Agreement. All fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.12 shall be borne in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the disputed items that is unsuccessfully disputed by each party (as determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the total amount of the disputed items submitted to the Neutral Accountant.

(d) Final Closing Date Schedule. The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash Amount, the Funded Indebtedness, and the Unpaid Transaction Expenses finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.12, and the Final Net Merger Consideration based thereon, shall be determinative for purposes of this Section 2.12 and shall be final and binding on all of the parties to this Agreement. All components, and the amounts of such components, necessary to compute the final and binding Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Cash Amount, the amount of the Funded Indebtedness, the Unpaid Transaction Expenses and the Final Net Merger Consideration based thereon are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Final Closing Date Schedule.”

(e) Payment.

(i) If the Final Net Merger Consideration as reflected on the Final Closing Date Schedule is less than the Net Merger Consideration, then the

Seller Representative and Buyer shall cause the Escrow Agent to disburse, from the Escrow Account, an aggregate amount equal to such shortfall to Buyer or its designee via wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the completion of the Final Closing Date Schedule, but only to the extent of any funds then remaining in the Escrow Account.

(ii) If the Final Net Merger Consideration as reflected on the Final Closing Date Schedule exceeds the Net Merger Consideration, then Buyer shall pay to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock and Vested Options (other than Out of the Money Options), and shall cause the Paying Agent (or, to the extent applicable, the payroll agent of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation) to disburse to such holders, an amount equal to such excess via wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the completion of the Final Closing Date Schedule.

(f) Final and Binding Working Capital Adjustment. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the adjustment provisions set forth in this Section 2.12 shall be final and binding on Buyer and the Seller Representative with respect to (i) determining whether or not any adjustment is required be made to the Net Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) determining the amount of any such adjustment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 9 for any item taken into account in the determination of the Final Net Merger Consideration (including any item to the extent reflected on the Closing Date Schedule but not so reflected on the Final Closing Date Schedule) under this Article 2; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed to affect any Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights to obtain indemnification under Article 9 with respect to any factual matters unrelated to the issue of whether or not the item should have been included in the determination of components of Final Net Merger Consideration under this Article 2 based upon the methodologies set forth herein.

(c) Each Company Employee Program that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) or 501(c)(9) of the Code has received a favorable determination or approval letter from the IRS with respect to such qualification, or may rely on an opinion letter issued by the IRS with respect to a prototype plan adopted in accordance with the requirements for such reliance, and has time remaining for application to the IRS for a determination of the qualified status of such Company Employee Program for any period for which such Company Employee Program would not otherwise be covered by an IRS determination, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred that would adversely affect the qualification of such Company Employee Program.

(d) Each Company Employee Program is, and has been operated in material compliance with applicable Laws and regulations and is and has been administered in all material respects in accordance with applicable Laws and regulations and with its terms.

deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that a Company Stockholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and that (i) the requisite Company Stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Company Stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided, pursuant to the waivers of those payments and/or benefits which were executed by the affected individuals on the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9

HOLD HARMLESS; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing; provided, however, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.1, the representations and warranties of the Company, and the right of any Buyer Indemnified Party to assert claims for recovery under Section 9.2(a) against any Indemnifying Party (including with respect to the breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company), shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”); provided, further, that such Survival Period and the foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (except for the last sentence thereof), 3.2 and 3.3, which representations and warranties shall survive, and for which any Buyer Indemnified Party may assert claims for recovery under Section 9.2(a), until the applicable statute of limitations, including any extensions thereof (the “Excluded Claims”). If written notice of a claim has been given in accordance with Section 9.3(a) prior to the expiration of the Survival Period or, if such claim is an Excluded Claim, prior to the expiration of the applicable time periods specified above, then in each case the relevant representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not affect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that the Survival Period supersede any applicable statute of limitations with respect to the applicable representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations.

Section 9.2 Indemnification.

(bb) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2, from and after the Effective Time, each Buyer Party and its respective Affiliates (including, at Buyer’s option after the Closing, the Company) and Representatives and their successors and assigns (other than existing equity holders of the Company prior to the Effective Time) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Stockholders and Cash-Out Optionholders that receive a portion of the Aggregate Stockholder Cash Proceeds and the Aggregate Option Proceeds (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”), from the Escrow Account and otherwise, severally and not jointly and pro rata in proportion to the number of Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding held by them, from and against any and all obligations, damages, Liabilities, losses, assessments, amounts due in judgments, Taxes, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel), of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) which may be sustained or suffered by any such Buyer Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, or by reason of:

(i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company in this Agreement;

(iii) any Share Claims; or

Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a) is in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent that such Losses exceed the Deductible; and (B) no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Losses (other than Losses that relate to Taxes) pursuant to Section 9.2(a) in respect of any single claim if the amount of such Losses is less than $50,000 (the “Minimum Loss Amount”), and no such Losses that are less than the Minimum Loss Amount shall be included in calculating the aggregate Losses for purposes of determining if the Deductible has been met in this Section 9.2(b); provided, that in each case all related single claims and losses will be aggregated in determining whether the Minimum Loss Amount is met. The limitations in this Section 9.2(b)(i) shall not apply to Losses attributable to claims for breaches of Section 3.12 or Excluded Claims.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (A) except with respect to Losses attributable to Excluded Claims, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no right to receive any indemnification payments from the Indemnifying Parties for any claims for Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) in excess of the amount then remaining in the Escrow Account; (B) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no right to receive any indemnification from the Indemnifying Parties for any claims for Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (including Excluded Claims) in excess of the amount of Aggregate Stockholder Cash Proceeds and Aggregate Option Cash Proceeds received by the Indemnifying Parties; and (C) no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for an amount in excess of such Indemnifying Party’s pro rata portion (calculated in the manner set forth in Section 9.2(a)) of any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(iii) For the purpose of quantifying Buyer Indemnified Party’s Losses under this Article 9 only (but not for determining whether any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement has been breached or is inaccurate), any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement given or made by the Company that is qualified in scope as to materiality (including a Company Material Adverse Effect) shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualifications.

(iv) For the purpose of this Article 9 only, the amount of any Loss shall be reduced by (A) any insurance proceeds actually received by a Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss and (B) any amounts actually recovered by a Buyer Indemnified Party from another Person in respect of such Losses. In addition, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss attributable to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any Pre-Closing Taxable Period, the amount of any such Loss shall be reduced by any correlative

tax savings or benefit actually recognized by a Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of incurring such Loss on or before the end of the taxable year after the tax year in which such Loss is incurred or in which the amount of such Loss is finally determined in accordance with this Agreement.

(v) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for, and Losses shall not include, any punitive, exemplary or other similar damages, unless the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party is required to pay such damages to a third party as part of a third party claim against such Buyer Indemnified Party that is otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall have any Liability for Taxes incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any Employment Transaction Taxes or Transfer Taxes, which shall be the responsibility of Buyer), other than Taxes that would not have been incurred but for a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 3.12, Section 3.13, Section 3.20, Section 5.5, Section 5.6 and Section 5.11.

(vii) In no event shall an Indemnified Party be indemnified for any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article 9 related to or arising from the amount, value or condition of any Tax asset or attribute (e.g., net operating loss carry-forward (including, but not limited to, any such carry-forward attributable to payment of the aggregate Option Consideration with respect to all Vested Options and amounts required to be paid at the Closing under the management transaction incentive plan or other arrangements described on Section 1.1(a) of the Schedule of Exceptions) or Tax credit carry-forward) of the Company or the ability of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation to utilize any such Tax asset or attribute for any taxable period commencing after the Effective Time, other than Losses that arise in connection with a breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 3.13(d), Section 3.13(i), Section 3.13(j), Section 3.13(k) or Section 5.6.

(dd) No Contribution. Each Indemnifying Party hereby agrees that if, following the Closing, any claim is made against any Indemnifying Party by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of any Loss (a “Loss Payment”), no Indemnifying Party (nor any of its Affiliates, successors and assigns) shall have any rights against the Company, by reason of indemnification, contribution or subrogation in respect of any such Loss Payment.

(ee) Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the remainder of this Section 9.2(d), from and after the Closing, the right of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to indemnification under this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of such parties against any Indemnifying Party with respect to the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have, in addition to the remedies set forth in this Article 9, such equitable remedies to which such parties may be otherwise entitled, including the ability to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 9.2(b)(ii), (i) in the event of any acts of fraud committed by a party hereto, the parties shall have all remedies available at Law or in equity (including for tort) against the party committing such fraud, or (ii) claims of a party alleging fraud committed by a party hereto may be brought against such party at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation and shall not be subject to any limitations in this Section 9.2.

(ff) Escrow Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive means, and the Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive source, for the Buyer Indemnified Parties to collect any Losses for which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article 9, except with respect to Losses actually suffered or incurred to the extent directly arising out of any Excluded Claims. Any payments required to be made to a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to claims for indemnification hereunder shall be made first by resort to the Escrow Account, and second, if the balance of the Escrow Account is insufficient to satisfy the entire amount of payments to be made to a Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of Excluded Claims, by seeking recourse to each Indemnifying Party, severally and not jointly, pro rata in proportion to the number of Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding held by them.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(h) Promptly following the incurrence of any Losses or discovery of any potential Losses by a Buyer Indemnified Party who believes that such party is or will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller Representative of the Loss for which such Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 9; provided that the failure of any Buyer Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Seller Representative is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.. No such notice shall be valid, and no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification

pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of any Loss described therein, unless such notice is duly delivered by such Buyer Indemnified Party to Seller Representative prior to the expiration of the Survival Period or, if such claim is an Excluded Claim, prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation. Such notice shall (i) state that such Buyer Indemnified Party has paid or incurred Losses or, as a result of a Third Party claim, may incur Losses for which such Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent practicable, computation of the amount to which such Buyer Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder. In the case of a Third Party claim, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Seller Representative in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by such Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters, such assistance and cooperation to include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters.

(i) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnifying Parties under this Article 9 with respect to Losses arising from actual or threatened claims or demands by any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article 9 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if a Buyer Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall give the Seller Representative notice of such Third Party Claim promptly following the receipt by such Buyer Indemnified Party of such notice. The failure of any Buyer Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Seller Representative is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(j) The Seller Representative shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Buyer Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall not have the right to assume such defense if the claim which the Seller Representative seeks to assume control (i) seeks solely non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal allegations, or (iii) involves a claim the amount in controversy of which is reasonably expected to result in liability to the Buyer Indemnified Party in excess of the applicable limitations set forth in Section 9.2(b)(ii) or if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines such Third Party Claim could adversely affect the Taxes, or Tax positions, of such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates following the Closing Date. The Buyer Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Seller Representative in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Seller Representative’s

expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Buyer Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Buyer Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. If the Seller Representative does not assume control of such defense, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Seller Representative assumes control of such defense and the Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably concludes based upon the written opinion of outside legal counsel that the Indemnifying Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Party have actual conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Buyer Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties to the extent constituting indemnifiable Losses under this Article 9; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Parties be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Buyer Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. Except with the written consent of the Seller Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Buyer Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in the defense of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Parties would be required to provide indemnification under Section 9.2(a), unless Buyer agrees in writing to irrevocably forego indemnification on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for such payment and any related Losses. Except with the written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Seller Representative will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Buyer Indemnified Party by the third party of a release from all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) that imposes any material obligation on the Buyer Indemnified Party and (iii) unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law by the Buyer Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof).

(k) If an indemnification claim is brought by a Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article 9, such claim shall be further governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to the extent applicable. In the event an indemnification claim notice from a Buyer Indemnified Party seeks recovery from the Escrow Account, the Seller Representative, in responding to the claim, shall agree to or dispute (with reasonable detail) the release from the Escrow Account. If the Seller’s Representative does not dispute such claim, it shall sign a joint notice to the Escrow Agent with the Buyer authorizing the release of the relevant amount from the Escrow Account.

Section 9.4 Seller Representative.

(c) Each of the Indemnifying Parties, by virtue of the adoption of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably appoints, as of the date of this Agreement, the Seller Representative as his, her or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Indemnifying Party, and authorizes the Seller Representative to take any and all actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and take all actions necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Seller Representative shall take any and all actions that it reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, as fully as such Indemnifying Parties were acting on their own behalf, including in connection with the investigation, defense and/or settlement of any claims for which the Indemnifying Parties may be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9.

(d) All decisions made and actions taken by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including any agreement between the Seller Representative and any Buyer Party relating to the defense or settlement of any claims for which the Indemnifying Parties may be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9, shall be binding upon all of the Indemnifying Parties and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them, and no Indemnifying Party shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Representative will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that imposes any material non-monetary obligation on (i) all or substantially all of the Indemnifying Parties except with the written consent of a majority in interest of the Indemnifying Parties (based on the number of Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding held by them), or (ii) any specific Indemnifying Party or group of related Indemnifying Parties except with the written consent of such Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that in the case of either clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Seller Representative shall not be responsible for any loss of rights under this Agreement or other losses that result from the failure by the Seller Representative to consent to the entry of any such judgment or enter into any such settlement.

(e) The Seller Representative shall not have any liability to any of the parties hereto or to the Indemnifying Parties for any act done or omitted hereunder or otherwise in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder as the Seller Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Seller Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to the Indemnifying Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Indemnifying Parties shall severally and not jointly, and pro rata in

proportion to the number of Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding held by them, indemnify the Seller Representative and hold him, her or it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Seller Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including any out of pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs incurred by the Seller Representative; provided, that any finding of gross negligence or bad faith shall only be effective if determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Seller Representative may receive reimbursement directly from the Indemnifying Parties for such losses, liabilities or expenses; provided, that the Seller Representative Fund Amount deposited by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.5 shall be used in full by the Seller Representative before the Seller Representative requests any such reimbursement.

(f) The Seller Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and to take any and all actions on behalf of, receive and give all notices on behalf of, execute and deliver any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute and deliver or waive any and all rights of, the Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect of this Section 9.4, any claims or disputes between or among any Buyer Indemnified Party, the Seller Representative and/or any one or more Indemnifying Parties relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall in the case of any claim or dispute asserted by or against or involving any such Indemnifying Party (other than any claim against or disputed with the Seller Representative), be asserted or otherwise addressed solely by the Seller Representative on behalf of such Indemnifying Party (and not by such Indemnifying Party acting on its own behalf).

(g) By his, her or its adoption or approval of the Merger and this Agreement, and the Escrow Agreement, as the case may be, each Indemnifying Party agrees, in addition to the foregoing, that:

(i) any Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Seller Representative as to (A) the settlement of any claims for indemnification by such Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9, or (B) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Seller Representative hereunder, and no party hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement shall have any cause of action against such Buyer Indemnified Party for any action taken by such Buyer Indemnified Party in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Seller Representative;

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Seller Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Indemnifying

Parties and no Indemnifying Party shall have any cause of action against the Seller Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Seller Representative in connection with the matters described in this Section 9.4; and

(iii) the provisions of this Section 9.4 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Indemnifying Party may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The entity serving as the Seller Representative may resign upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice to Buyer, the Escrow Agent, and each Indemnifying Party. If the then acting Seller Representative shall give notice of intent to resign, the holders of a majority in interest of the Indemnifying Parties (based on the number of Seller Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding held by them) shall, by written notice to Buyer and the Escrow Agent, appoint a successor Seller Representative as soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following such notice of intent to resign. In addition, the Person then serving as the Seller Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Indemnifying Parties (based on the number of Seller Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding held by them) upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Buyer, the Escrow Agent, and each Indemnifying Party. Each successor Seller Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Seller Representative, and the term “Seller Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any such successor Seller Representatives.

Section 9.5 Seller Representative Fund Amount. Concurrent with the Effective Time, Buyer shall deposit with the Seller Representative, in a non-interest bearing account which is separate and segregated from all other assets of the Seller Representative, an amount equal to $500,000 of the Net Merger Consideration or such greater amount as may be agreed among the Indemnifying Stockholders (such amount, the “Seller Representative Fund Amount”) and such amount shall be used by the Seller Representative solely to pay any fees, costs or other expenses it may incur in performing its duties or exercising its rights hereunder. The remainder of the Seller Representative Fund Amount (if any) to the Indemnifying Parties shall be distributed in conjunction with the distribution of the remaining balance of the Escrow Account, less any amount then payable by the Seller Representative for any fees, costs or other expenses it has incurred on or prior to such date in performing its duties or exercising its rights hereunder.

Section 9.6 Escrow Release. On the final day of the Survival Period, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions directing the release of the entire then remaining balance of the Escrow Account, less if written notice of a claim has been given in accordance with Section 9.3(a) prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, the aggregate amount of each such pending claim that has not been paid to the Indemnified Parties out of the Escrow Account or otherwise resolved pursuant to (x) joint written instructions of the Seller Representative and Buyer relating to such claim or (y) a final nonappealable award, judgment or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction relating to such claim, to the Paying Agent (or, to the extent applicable, the payroll agent of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation) for the pro rata benefit of the Stockholders and Cash-Out Optionholders, and shall cause the Paying Agent (or, to the extent applicable, the payroll agent of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation) to disburse such amount to such holders.

Section 9.7 Adjustments to Purchase Price. The parties agree to treat all indemnification or other payments made under Article 9 and under any other indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement as adjustments to the Final Net Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 10.10 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. To the extent permitted by Law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof over any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any party arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts.

Section 10.13 Specific Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek (in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 10.10) and to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, without bond or other security being required.

Section 10.14 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.C. (“WSGR”) has acted as counsel for certain of the Stockholders, the Company and the Seller Representative (collectively, the “Company Parties”) in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”) and, in that connection, not as counsel for any other Person, including, without limitation, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation). Only the Company Parties shall be considered clients of WSGR in the Acquisition Engagement. If the Seller Representative so desires, WSGR shall be permitted, without the need for any future waiver or consent, to represent any of the Seller Representative, the Stockholders, the Optionholders or the Indemnifying Parties after the Closing in connection with any matter related to the matters contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any other agreements referenced herein or therein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto and may in connection therewith represent the agents or Affiliates of the Seller Representative, the Stockholders, the Optionholders or the Indemnifying Parties, in any of the foregoing cases including, without limitation, in any dispute, litigation or other adversary proceeding against, with or involving Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their agents or Affiliates. To the extent that communications between a Company Party, on the one hand, and WSGR, on the other hand, relate to the Acquisition Engagement, such communication shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Seller Representative, for and on behalf of the

102

Securityholders, and not the Company or Surviving Corporation. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall have access to (and Buyer hereby waives, on behalf of each, any right of access it may otherwise have with respect to) any such communications or the files or work product of WSGR, to the extent that they relate to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, upon and after the Closing: (i) the Seller Representative, for and on behalf of the Stockholders, the Optionholders or the Indemnifying Parties, and WSGR shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Acquisition Engagement, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall be a holder thereof; (ii) to the extent that files or work product of WSGR in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller Representative, for and on behalf of the Stockholders, the Optionholders or the Indemnifying Parties, shall hold such property rights and have the right to waive or modify such property rights; and (iii) WSGR shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications, files or work product to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, by reason of any attorney-client relationship between WSGR and the Company or otherwise; provided, that, to the extent any communication is both related and unrelated to the Acquisition Engagement, WSGR shall provide (and the Seller Representative, for and on behalf of the Securityholders or Indemnifying Parties, shall instruct WSGR to provide) appropriately redacted versions of such communications, files or work product to Buyer or its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between any of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates, on one hand, and any of the Indemnifying Parties, Securityholders or Seller Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties), on the other hand, concerning the matters contemplated in this Agreement, Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates, agrees that Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates shall not offer into evidence or otherwise attempt to use or assert the foregoing attorney-client communications, files or work product against the Seller Representative, the Stockholders, the Optionholders or the Indemnifying Parties.
