Section 1.04 Treatment of Company Stock, Options and Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(h) and Section 1.07, each share of Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted, without any action on the part of holders thereof, into the right to receive (i) consideration with a value equal to (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share of Company Preferred Stock immediately prior the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Price (the consideration described in (i), the “Closing Preferred Stock Consideration”), plus (ii) the per share proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l), Section 1.13, and/or from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(b) At the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(h) and Section 1.07, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive (i) consideration with a value equal to the Per Share Price (such amount, the “Closing Common Stock Consideration”), plus (ii) the per share proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l), Section 1.13, and/or from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(c) At the Effective Time, each of the Vested Options shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (i) consideration with a value equal to (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the applicable exercise price (per share) of such Vested Option, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock such Optionholder could have purchased had such Optionholder exercised such Vested Option in full by paying the exercise price therefor in cash immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount, the “Closing Option Consideration”), plus (ii) the per share proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l), Section 1.13, and/or from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(d) At the Effective Time, each of the Unvested Options shall be converted into an option to acquire the number of shares of Parent Stock (each, a “Parent Option” and collectively, the “Parent Options”) (rounded down to the nearest whole share) that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock such Optionholder could have purchased had such Optionholder exercised (if such Unvested Option had been vested and exercisable) such Unvested Option in full by paying the exercise price therefor in cash immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Per Share Price by (B) the Parent Stock Value, such quotient (the “Exchange Ratio”), which Parent Option shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Stock following the Effective Time equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Unvested Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio. The term, vesting schedule and all of the other terms of each Parent Option shall otherwise remain the same as the applicable Unvested Option, subject to the rights of Parent to amend or modify any such Parent Option in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of Parent’s stock option plans. The shares of Parent Stock that may be acquired pursuant to all of the Parent Options are collectively referred to as the “Parent Option Shares”.
3
(e) At the Effective Time, each Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive consideration with a value equal to (i) the Per Share Price, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issued to the holder thereof had such holder exercised such Warrant in full in accordance with the cashless exercise provisions thereof and then immediately converted all shares of Company Preferred Stock that would have been issued to the holder thereof upon such exercise of such Warrant into shares of Company Common Stock (the “Closing Warrant Consideration”), plus (iii) the proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l), Section 1.13, and/or from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(f) The aggregate Closing Preferred Stock Consideration, the aggregate Closing Common Stock Consideration, the aggregate Closing Option Consideration, and the aggregate Closing Warrant Consideration (together, the “Closing Consideration”) shall be paid with a combination of cash and Parent Stock, with (i) the number of shares of Parent Stock used to pay the Closing Consideration (the “Closing Consideration Shares”) equal to (A) (x) $10,000,000 of the Closing Consideration divided by (y) the Parent Stock Value minus (B) the number of Parent Option Shares and (ii) the balance of the Closing Consideration being paid in cash (the “Closing Cash Consideration”). The number of Closing Consideration Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(g) The Closing Consideration Shares and Closing Cash Consideration shall be allocated among the Holders (other than the Unvested Optionholders) as follows:
(i) Each Holder may elect in such Holder’s Letter of Transmittal to be allocated a number of Closing Consideration Shares equal to (but not less than) such Holder’s Proportionate Share of the total number of Closing Consideration Shares to be issued in the Merger (the “Elected Shares”). In the event that a Holder makes an election (an “Allocation Election”) to be allocated such Holder’s Proportionate Share of the Closing Consideration Shares, then such Holder will also be allocated, in addition to the Elected Shares, an amount in cash equal to (A) the Holder’s Incremental Cash Consideration Amount plus (B) a portion of the Closing Cash Consideration equal to the Holder’s Proportionate Share of the Adjusted Aggregate Merger Consideration minus an amount equal to the aggregate Parent Stock Value of such Holder’s Elected Shares. If a Holder does not make an Allocation Election to be allocated the Holder’s Proportionate Share of the Closing Consideration Shares, or fails to return his Letter of Transmittal within the required period, the Holder will be deemed to make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, and such Holder will be allocated no Elected Shares and no Incremental Cash Consideration.
(ii) If a Holder elects to receive only cash in the Merger, the Holder will be allocated an amount in cash equal to the Holder’s Proportionate Share of the Adjusted Aggregate Merger Consideration, and such Holder will receive no Incremental Cash Consideration.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Principals agrees that his respective Allocation Election will consist of a number of Elected Shares equal to (A) his Proportionate Share of the aggregate number of Closing Consideration Shares to be issued in
4
the Merger plus (B) one-half of the aggregate remaining Closing Consideration Shares (if any) not included in the Allocation Elections of the other Holders. To the extent that the preceding clause (B) is operative and the Principals receive additional Closing Consideration Shares due to other Holders’ elections to receive no Closing Consideration Shares, (x) each Principal will be entitled to receive one-half of the Incremental Cash Consideration Amount that would otherwise have been allocated to such other Holders had they elected to receive their Proportionate Share of the Closing Consideration Shares, and (y) the Closing Cash Consideration to be allocated to each of the Principals shall be calculated in accordance with clause (i)(B) of this Section 1.04(g) based on the full number of Elected Shares allocated to the Principal pursuant to both clause (A) and (B) of this paragraph.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, in the event that the Paying Agent does not receive, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the form of Letter of Transmittal (in the case of Stockholders or Warrantholders) or the form of Option Cancellation Agreement (in the case of a Vested Optionholder) to a Holder, a completed Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable (in either case, including an executed Lock-Up Agreement) duly executed by the Holder containing an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares, such Holder shall be deemed to make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, and such Holder shall not be entitled to make an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares.
(h) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any exchange thereof and without any further action on the part of the Company.
(i) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued and fully paid share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(j) From and after the Effective Time, (i) the holders of certificates evidencing ownership of the shares of Company Stock (“Company Stock Certificates”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock except as otherwise provided for herein or under applicable Law, (ii) the Optionholders who hold Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Options except as otherwise provided for herein or under applicable Law, and (iii) the Warrantholders who hold Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Warrants except as otherwise provided for herein or under applicable Law.
(k) “Per Share Price” shall mean an amount equal to (i) (A) the Aggregate Merger Consideration, plus (B) the aggregate exercise price of all Vested Options, plus (C) the aggregate exercise price of all Warrants, divided by (ii) the Full Dilution Number.
(l) “Aggregate Merger Consideration” means an amount equal to (i) $30,600,000, minus (ii) (A) the outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing minus (B) $1,400,000, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of Holder Transaction Expenses, plus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target, minus (v) the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target, minus (vi) the Escrow
5
Amount; provided, however, that in calculating the adjustment under clause (ii), the Closing Cash Consideration portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the Indebtedness owed to the Company Bank is less than or exceeds $1,400,000 as of the Closing.
Section 1.05 Surrender and Payment.
(a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent its good faith estimate of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration”), including an estimate of the outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), the aggregate amount of Holder Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Holder Transaction Expenses”) and the amount of Net Working Capital, in each case including reasonable support for its calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration (and the outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing, the aggregate amount of Holder Transaction Expenses, and the amount of Net Working Capital). The calculation of the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration (and the components thereof) shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. In addition, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent (i) an itemized list of all Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing, including the amount of such Indebtedness as of the Closing (broken down by Person to whom such Indebtedness is owed), the Person to whom such Indebtedness is owed and wire instructions for such Person to whom such Indebtedness is owed (the “Indebtedness Pay-Off Schedule”); provided that the amount of Indebtedness reflected on the Indebtedness Pay-Off Schedule shall not exceed the amount of the Estimated Indebtedness, and (ii) an itemized list of all Holder Transaction Expenses, including the amount of such Holder Transaction Expenses (broken down by Person to whom such Holder Transaction Expenses are payable), the Person or Persons to whom such Holder Transaction Expenses are owed and wire instructions for such Person or Persons to whom such Holder Transaction Expenses are owed (the “Holder Transaction Expenses Schedule”); provided that the amount of Holder Transaction Expenses reflected on the Holder Transaction Expenses Schedule shall not exceed the amount of the Estimated Holder Transaction Expenses.
(b) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent, the Representative and the Paying Agent will enter into a paying agent agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) pursuant to which the Paying Agent will act as paying agent in connection with the consideration to be paid to the Stockholders pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement. The Paying Agent’s fees and expenses shall be borne by Parent. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parent shall deliver (i) a Letter of Transmittal (which includes an election form that provides for the Stockholders to make their respective Allocation Elections) in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto to the Stockholders, and a Letter of Transmittal (which includes an election form that provides for the Warrantholders to make their respective Allocation Elections) in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto to the Warrantholders (collectively, the “Letters of Transmittal”), entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in respect of their shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock or in respect of their Warrants, (ii) an Option Cancellation Agreement (which agreement includes an election form that provides for the Optionholders to make their respective Allocation Elections) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Non-Employee Option Cancellation
6
Agreement”) hereto to the holders of Vested Options who are not employees of the Company entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in respect of their Vested Options, (iii) to the holders of Vested Options who are employees of the Company and entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in respect of their Vested Options, an Option Cancellation Agreement (which agreement includes an election form that provides for the Optionholders to make their respective Allocation Elections) in the form of Exhibit F hereto (together with the Non-Employee Option Cancellation Agreements, the “Option Cancellation Agreements”), and (iv) to the holders of Unvested Options who are entitled to receive Parent Options in respect of their Unvested Options, an Option Agreement in the form of Exhibit G hereto (the “Parent Option Agreement”).
(c) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver or pay, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver or pay, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds and net of the Deposit Amount (which shall be paid to the Paying Agent by the Company prior to the Closing), the Closing Cash Consideration (based on the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration), the Escrow Amount, the balance of amounts of the Indebtedness identified on the Indebtedness Pay-Off Schedule (other than up to $1,400,000 of Indebtedness owed to Company Bank) and outstanding Holder Transaction Expenses as follows:
(i) (A) the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”), (B) the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Working Capital Escrow Account”), and (C) the Representative Cost Escrow Amount shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Representative Cost Escrow Account”) in each case, on behalf of Parent and the Holders, which accounts shall be established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;
(ii) all amounts necessary to fully discharge the then-outstanding balances of the Indebtedness identified on the Indebtedness Pay-Off Schedule (other than up to $1,400,000 of Indebtedness owed to Company Bank) and the Pay-Off Letters shall be paid on behalf of the Company to the applicable creditors’ accounts set forth in Indebtedness Pay-Off Schedule and the Pay-Off Letters or as otherwise advised by such creditors in writing; provided that the amount of payments pursuant to this Section 1.05(c)(ii) shall not exceed the amount of the Estimated Indebtedness (excluding $1,400,000 in Indebtedness owed to the Company Bank);
(iii) all amounts necessary to fully discharge the then-outstanding balances of Holder Transaction Expenses identified on the Holder Transaction Expenses Schedule and the Pay-Off Letters shall be paid on behalf of the Company to the accounts designated by the Persons owed such amounts as set forth in the Pay-Off Letters and on the Holder Transaction Expenses Schedule; provided that the amount of payments pursuant to this Section 1.05(c)(iii) shall not exceed the amount of the Estimated Holder Transaction Expenses;
(iv) the aggregate cash consideration to be paid to Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.04 shall be paid to the Paying Agent, for payment, in accordance with such Section, to each Stockholder who has completed and returned to the Paying Agent a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (including a Lock-Up Agreement executed by any Stockholder who elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in accordance with Section 1.04), together with the Company Stock Certificates (or an affidavit of lost stock certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Parent) representing such Stockholder’s outstanding shares of Company Stock;
7
(v) the aggregate cash consideration (other than Option Closing Consideration to be paid to Optionholders who received their Option in connection with current or past employment with the Company (“Employee Optionholders”)) to be paid to Optionholders pursuant to Section 1.04 shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation for payment to each such Holder who has completed and returned to the Parent a properly completed and executed Option Cancellation Agreement (including a Lock-Up Agreement executed by any such Optionholder who elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in accordance with Section 1.04) ; and
(vi) the aggregate Closing Option Consideration to be paid to Employee Optionholders whose Vested Options represent the right to receive payment in cash pursuant to Section 1.04 shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation and such proceeds shall then be paid to such Holders of Options through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system as provided in Section 1.05(h) below, provided that such Holder has completed and returned to the Parent a properly completed and executed Option Cancellation Agreement (including a Lock-Up Agreement executed by any such Optionholder who elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in accordance with Section 1.04).
(d) After the Effective Time, Parent shall promptly deliver (i) to the Paying Agent, for delivery to each Stockholder who has completed and returned to the Paying Agent a Letter of Transmittal (including a Lock-Up Agreement executed by any Stockholder who elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in accordance with Section 1.04 ) together with the Company Stock Certificates representing outstanding shares of Company Stock or an affidavit of lost stock certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, and (ii) to the Surviving Corporation for delivery to each Optionholder (other than Unvested Optionholders) who has completed and returned to Parent an Option Cancellation Agreement and to each Warrantholder who has completed and returned to the Parent a Letter of Transmittal (including a Lock-Up Agreement executed by any such Optionholder or Warrantholder who elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in accordance with Section 1.04), a certificate representing the number of Closing Consideration Shares (rounded down to the nearest share) issuable to each such Holder based on the Allocation Election set forth in such Holder’s Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable. In lieu of any fractional share of a Parent Share that a Holder would have received had the number of Parent Shares not been rounded down, each such Holder shall be paid (and after taking into account and aggregating shares of Company Stock represented by all Company Stock Certificates surrendered by, or Vested Options or Warrants held by, such Holder) cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the fractional share interest to which such Holder (after taking into account and aggregating all shares of Company Stock represented by all Company Stock Certificates surrendered by, or Vested Options or Warrants held by, such Holder) would otherwise be entitled by (y) the Parent Stock Value.
(e) The Closing Consideration Shares issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Until the resale by the Holders of their Parent Shares has become registered (including pursuant to the
8
Registration Statement) under the Securities Act, or otherwise transferable pursuant to an exemption from such registration otherwise required thereunder, the Parent Shares issued to the Holders hereunder shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and, if certificated, shall bear the following legend (or if held in book entry form, will be noted with a similar restriction):
“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
(f) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each Stockholder and each holder of Vested Options and Warrants a copy of the Disclosure Materials and the applicable Letter of Transmittal, and Parent shall (i) cause the Paying Agent to deliver to each Stockholder who has completed a Letter of Transmittal (including a Lock-Up Agreement if applicable) and returned it to the Paying Agent, together with any applicable Company Stock Certificate (or affidavit of lost stock certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Parent) a check (or if elected by such Holder, a wire transfer) representing that portion of the Closing Cash Consideration to which such Holder is entitled, and (ii) cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver to each Optionholder or Warrantholder who has executed and completed an Option Cancellation Agreement or Letter of Transmittal, respectively (including a Lock-Up Agreement, if applicable) and returned it to the Parent, a check (or if elected by such Holder, a wire transfer) representing that portion of the Closing Cash Consideration to which such Holder is entitled. The delivery of such checks (or wire transfers, as applicable) by the Paying Agent or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be deemed, for all purposes, to have satisfied in full the obligations of Parent to pay the Closing Cash Consideration to such Holders and Parent shall have no further obligation for such payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) Parent shall not be required to pay any amount of the Closing Cash Consideration or the Closing Consideration Shares to any Stockholder until receipt from such Stockholder of a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (including a Lock-Up Agreement) and the applicable Company Stock Certificate or an affidavit of lost stock certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Parent, (ii) Parent shall not be required to pay any amount of the Closing Cash Consideration or the Closing Consideration Shares to any Warrantholder until receipt from such Warrantholder of a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (including a Lock-Up Agreement), (iii) Parent shall not be required to pay any amount of the Closing Cash Consideration or the Closing Consideration Shares to any Optionholder holding Vested Options until receipt from such Optionholder of a properly completed and executed Option Cancellation Agreement, and (iv) Parent shall not be required to issue any Parent Options to any Optionholder holding Unvested Options until receipt from such Optionholder of a properly completed and executed Parent Option Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall not (through the Paying Agent or otherwise) pay any Closing Cash Consideration or Closing Consideration Shares to the Principals, other than the Principal Initial Consideration, until each other Holder (other than Unvested Optionholders) shall have submitted to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, a
9
completed and executed Letter of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, setting forth each Holder’s respective Allocation Elections. The Principal Final Consideration shall be paid to the Principals by the Paying Agent within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the other Holders (other than Unvested Optionholders) shall have submitted to the Paying Agent a completed and executed Letter of Transmittal setting forth each Holder’s respective Allocation Elections, (ii) the date on which all Holders will be deemed to have made their respective Allocation Elections by reason of the last sentence of Section 1.04(g).
(h) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, through the Company’s payroll system, to each Optionholder holding Vested Options who is, immediately prior to the Effective Time, an employee of the Company, and who has completed and returned to the Paying Agent an Option Cancellation Agreement, that portion of the Closing Cash Consideration to which such Optionholder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.04.
(i) Until surrendered in accordance with this Agreement, each Company Stock Certificate, each of the Options and each of the Warrants shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive payment as provided in this Agreement.
(j) As promptly as possible, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Representative its calculation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles.
(k) Subject to Section 5.02(b), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide the Representative and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation to the extent reasonably necessary for their review of the Closing Statement. If the Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement, the Representative shall deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement shall identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which the Representative objects (the “Disputed Items”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Parent within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Parent shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. If the Representative delivers the Objection Statement to Parent within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Representative and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Parent, the Representative and Parent shall submit any unresolved Disputed Items (and only such unresolved Disputed Items) to an independent national accounting firm mutually selected by Parent and the Representative (the “Accounting Firm”). In the event the Parent and the Representative submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm, each of Parent and the Representative shall submit a Closing Statement (which in the case of each of Parent and the Representative may be a Closing Statement that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than the Closing Statement initially submitted to the Representative, or the Objections Statement delivered to Parent, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Accounting Firm within 30 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The Representative and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Accounting Firm receives the Closing Statements prepared by the Representative and Parent. In resolving any such dispute, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any unresolved Disputed Item greater than the highest amount the Representative or Parent assigns to such Disputed Item in their respective Closing Statements or less than the lowest amount the Representative or Parent assigns to such unresolved Disputed Item in their respective Closing Statements. The Representative and Parent shall use their respective
10
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to notify them in writing of its resolution of such dispute as soon as practicable. The Closing Statement that includes the final determination of the unresolved Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Accounting Firm. All costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm, if any, shall be paid by Parent and the Representative, respectively, in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the unresolved Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm by such party that are unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all unresolved Disputed Items submitted by Parent and Representative. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Representative’s position, 60% of the costs of the Accounting Firm’s review would be borne by Parent and 40% of the costs would be borne by Representative.

All benefits, contributions and premiums relating to each Benefit Plan have been paid in accordance with the terms of such Benefit Plan and all applicable Laws and accounting principles, and all benefits accrued under any unfunded Benefit Plan have been paid, accrued or otherwise adequately reserved to the extent required by, and in accordance with, GAAP.

(e) With respect to each Benefit Plan (i) no such plan is a Multiemployer Plan; (ii) no such plan is a “multiple
33
employer plan” within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code or a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA); (iii) no Action has been initiated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to terminate any such plan or to appoint a trustee for any such plan; (iv) no such plan is subject to the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; and (v) no “reportable event,” as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any such plan.
(f) Except as required by applicable Law, no provision of any Benefit Plan or collective bargaining agreement could reasonably be expected to result in any limitation on Parent from amending or terminating any Benefit Plan. The Company has no commitment or obligation and has not made any representations to any employee, officer, director, independent contractor or consultant, whether or not legally binding, to adopt, amend or modify any Benefit Plan or any collective bargaining agreement, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise.
(g) Other than as required under Section 601 et. seq. of ERISA or other applicable Law, no Benefit Plan provides post-termination or retiree welfare benefits to any individual for any reason, and the Company has not represented, promised or contracted to any individual that such individual would be provided with post-termination or retiree welfare benefits.
(h) There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in writing Action relating to a Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits), and to the Company’s knowledge no Benefit Plan is the subject of an examination or audit by a Governmental Body or the subject of an application or filing under or is a participant in, an amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction or similar program sponsored by any Governmental Body.
(i) There have not been any announced plan or legally binding commitment to create any additional arrangement that would be considered a Benefit Plan, or to amend or modify any current Benefit Plan in a manner which would result in a material increase in the Liabilities or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(j) Each Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated in material compliance with such section and all applicable regulatory guidance (including notices, rulings and proposed and final regulations).
(k) The Company does not have any obligation to any Person to cause any Benefit Plan subject to 409A of the Code to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to provide any “gross-up” or similar payment to any Person in the event any such Benefit Plan fails to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
(l) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor any of the Transactions will (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events): (i) entitle any current or former director, officer, employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company to severance pay or any other payment; (ii) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting under any Benefit Plan, or increase the amount of compensation due to any current or former director, officer, employee, independent contractor, or consultant of the Company; (iii) limit or restrict the right of the Company to merge, amend or terminate any Benefit Plan; (iv) increase the amount payable under or result in any other material obligation pursuant to any Benefit Plan; or (v) result in “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code.

True, correct and complete copies of all such insurance policies have been made available to Parent in the Data Room.

Such insurance policies are sufficient, in all material, with the operation of the Company’s business for the industry in which it operates. The Company is not in default with respect to its obligations under any such insurance policies. The Company has not received any notice of cancellation of, premium increase with respect to, or alteration of coverage under, any of such Insurance Policies and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no threatened termination of, or threatened premium increase with respect to, any of such policies other than in connection with the Company’s annual renewal process. All premiums due on such insurance policies have either been paid or, if due and payable prior to Closing, will be paid prior to Closing in accordance with the payment terms of each such insurance policy. Such insurance policies do not provide for any retrospective premium adjustment or other experience-based liability on the part of the Company. All such insurance policies (a) are valid and binding in accordance with their terms; (b) are provided by carriers who are financially solvent; and (c) have not been subject to any lapse in coverage. The Company has duly and timely made all claims that it has been entitled to make under each such insurance policy. There are no claims related to the Company or the business of the Company pending under any such insurance policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed or in respect of which there is an outstanding reservation of rights. Such insurance policies are sufficient for compliance with all applicable Laws and Contracts to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions will not constitute a default under any such insurance policies or cause the acceleration of any obligations thereunder or give any party to any such insurance policies the right to terminate, amend or modify any such insurance policies. Section 3.17 of the Disclosure Schedule indicates each such insurance policy as to which (i) the coverage limit has been reached or (ii) the total incurred losses to date equal seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the coverage limit. There are no risks with respect to the Company’s assets or businesses which the Company has designated as being self-insured.

The premium for such policy shall be paid one-half by the Company (and shall be considered a Holder Transaction Expense) and one half by Parent.
Section 5.02 Restrictive Covenants.
(a) As an inducement to Parent and Merger Sub to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions and to protect the value and goodwill of the Company (and the Surviving Corporation) and the Business, each Principal covenants and agrees that, for a period commencing at Closing and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Principal shall not and shall cause such Principal’s Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:
(i) own, manage, operate, control, render service to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Competitor anywhere in the United States of America;
(ii) employ or solicit, or receive or accept the performance of services by any then current officer, manager, employee or independent contractor of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, on the one hand, and any such officer, manager, employee or independent contractor, on the other hand; or
(iii) induce, or attempt to induce, any customer, salesperson, distributor, supplier, vendor, manufacturer, representative, agent, jobber, licensee or other Person transacting business with the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent (collectively the “Customers” and “Vendors”) to reduce or cease doing business with the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, or in any way to interfere with the
39
relationship between any such Customer or Vendor, on the one hand, and the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any parent, Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, on the other hand.
provided, however, that Section 5.02(a)(i) shall not prohibit a Principal from owning shares of stock of any corporation having a class of equity securities actively traded on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq Stock Market which represent, in the aggregate, not more than 1% of such corporation’s fully-diluted shares.
(b) After the Closing, each of the Principals, each Holder and the Representative covenants and agrees that such Principal, Holder and/or Representative shall not and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) use, disclose, reverse engineer or otherwise exploit any Confidential Information for any purpose, except as specifically authorized in writing by Parent, (ii) keep or make copies of any documents, records or property containing any Confidential Information, (iii) use, disclose, reverse engineer or otherwise exploit any Company Intellectual Property for any purpose, or (iv) assist any other Person in engaging in any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Principal, Holder or the Representative may disclose Confidential Information at such times, in such manner and to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law, provided that such Principal, Holder or Representative, as applicable, (A) provides Parent with prior written notice thereof, (B) limits such disclosure to what is strictly required and (C) attempts to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information so disclosed. Nothing in this Agreement reduces any obligation of any Principal, Holder or the Representative to comply with applicable Laws relating to trade secrets, confidential information and unfair competition. If, at any time after the Closing, any Principal, Holder or the Representative discovers that he, she or it is in possession of any records containing any Confidential Information, then the discovering Principal, Holder or Representative shall immediately deliver such records to Parent. No Principal, Holder or Representative shall assert a waiver or loss of confidential or privileged status of the information based upon such possession or discovery.
(c) In the event of a breach or violation by a Principal during the Restricted Period of any restriction in Section 5.02(a), the Restricted Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been cured. Each Principal agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other Person during the Restricted Period, such Principal shall provide such prospective employer with written notice of the existence of this Section 5.02 and the provisions under this Section 5.02, with a copy of such notice delivered simultaneously to Parent and the Surviving Corporation.
(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.02 are reasonable (including as to scope, time and area), not unduly restrictive of the Principals’ or the Holders’ or the Representatives’ or their respective Affiliates’ or representatives’ respective rights, supported by adequate consideration and necessary protection of the immediate interests of Parent, and any violation of these restrictions would cause immediate and irreparable injury to Parent for which there would be no adequate monetary damages. In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by any Principal, Holder or the Representative (or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives) of such restrictions, the Principals, the Holders and the Representative acknowledge and agree that Parent shall be entitled to an injunction restraining such Principal, Holder, Representative (or their respective Affiliates or representatives as applicable) from such breach or threatened breach without the requirement of posting
40
bond, in addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at law or in equity. If any court determines that any provision of this Section 5.02 is unenforceable, such court will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, or terminate such provision until, in such reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable.
Section 5.03 Director Appointment. The board of directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) shall take, all required action necessary to cause Xxxxxxx to be elected to the Parent Board as of the Effective Date. In addition, beginning with the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of Parent and at each annual meeting of stockholders of Parent thereafter for so long as the requirements of the last sentence of this paragraph are satisfied, the Parent Board will nominate and recommend a Principal for election as a director of Parent at such meeting. Such nomination and recommendation shall rotate annually between the two Principals (beginning with Xxxxxxx at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of Parent) unless only one Principal is eligible to serve as a director pursuant to the requirements of the last sentence of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Principal shall cease to be eligible to serve as director of Parent pursuant to this paragraph upon the first to occur of (i) the Principal ceasing to be an employee of Parent or an Affiliate thereof or (ii) Principal ceasing to beneficially own at least 250,000 Parent Shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, or the like).
Section 5.04 Employees of Company. Effective as of the Effective Time, each employee of the Company (other than the Principals) will receive an increase in such employee’s annual base salary in an amount recommended by Xxxxxxx, provided that such salary increases will not (without the prior written consent of Parent) exceed twenty five percent (25%) individually or in the aggregate of the annual base salaries of such employees as reflected in the Disclosure Schedule. In addition, for a period of at least one (1) year following the Effective Time, the level of employee benefits provided to such employees as reflected in the Disclosure Schedule shall be at least equal to or greater than what was being provided to such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(a) If a Claiming Party is entitled to seek any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any third party Person against the Claiming Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Claiming Party shall notify the Defending Party in writing of such Third Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Defending Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against a Claiming Party, the Defending Party shall, at its expense, be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses (subject to the limitations set forth herein), to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Defending Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party if within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of notice from the Claiming Party informing the Defending Party of such Third Party Claim, the Defending Party gives written notice to the Claiming Party stating the Defending Party’s intention to do so and acknowledging that the Defending Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party from and against all Losses that the Claiming Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the Third Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Defending Party shall have no right to assume or control the defense of any Third Party Claim that involves a Conflict. Should a Defending Party so elect (and be entitled) to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Defending Party shall not be liable to the Claiming Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Claiming Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that in the case that (A) there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Claiming Party, in its reasonable discretion, for the same counsel to represent both the Claiming Party and the Defending Party, (B) the Defending Party fails to actively and diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, (C) such Third Party Claim relates to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement action, (D) the settlement of, and adverse judgment with respect to, or the Defending Party’s conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim is, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Claiming Party, likely to be adverse to the Claiming Party’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business) or (E) such Third Party Claim could result in an injunction or other equitable relief against the Claiming Party or, in the reasonable discretion of the Claiming Party, result in a Loss in excess of the dollar amount available for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII (the scenarios described in clauses (A) – (E) are collectively referred to as “Conflicts”), then the Defending Party shall continue to be liable to the Claiming Party for reasonable legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Claiming Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Defending Party assumes such defense, the Claiming Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense or, in accordance with the previous sentence, at the Defending Party’s expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Defending Party, it being understood, however, that the Defending Party shall control such defense so long as the Third Party Claim does not involve a Conflict, in which case the Claiming Party shall control such defense. If the Defending Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Defending Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Claiming Party before entering into any settlement or compromise or consenting to the entry of a judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim.

Section 7.07 Materiality. For purposes of calculating Losses under this Article VII, any material, materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications in the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements (other than the Material Adverse Effect qualification in the first sentence of Section 3.07) shall be disregarded.
Section 7.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company or the Holders, and the Parent Indemnitees’ right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Parent Indemnitees (including by any of their representatives) or by reason of the fact that any of the Parent Indemnitees (or any of their representatives) knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
ARTICLE VIII
TAX MATTERS
Section 8.01 Tax Covenants.
(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Holders when due. Representative shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Parent shall cooperate with Representative in filing any such Tax Return or other document), and Representative shall promptly provide Parent with a copy of all such Tax Returns.
(b) Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except to the extent such past practice does not have sufficient support in Law to avoid the imposition of fines or penalties. Any such Tax Return related to income Taxes (or any other Tax Return specifically identified in writing by the Representative within twenty (20) days after the Effective Time) shall be submitted by Parent to the Representative at least 20 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Parent in writing that it so objects, explaining in reasonable detail the basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and the Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten days after receipt by Parent of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm and any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve any disputed items within 20 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Firm is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Parent and then amended to reflect the Accounting Firm’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Parent and the Representative. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company (or the Surviving Corporation) that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent.
45
Section 8.02 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date neither the Company, any Holder nor any Affiliates of the Company or any Holder shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.
Section 8.03 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:
(a) in the case of Taxes based upon, or related to, income, receipts, purchases, disbursements or payroll, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date (provided, for purposes of clarity that any Transaction Deductions will be treated as having accrued during the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date); and
(b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.
Section 8.04 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Representative, the Holders, the Company and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VIII or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of the Holders, the Representative and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, the Holders or the Representative shall provide Parent with reasonable written notice and offer Parent the opportunity to take custody of such materials. Each Party further agrees, upon request, to us their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
Section 8.05 Post-Closing Actions. Except as otherwise required by law, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates shall not amend any previously filed Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, file Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where the Company has not historically filed Tax Returns, change any accounting method that shifts taxable income from a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or shifts
46
deductions or losses from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditionsed).
Section 8.06 Tax Treatment of Escrow. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Representative agree for all Tax purposes that: (a) if and to the extent any portion of the Escrow Amount is actually distributed to Employee Optionholders in respect of their Options, such portion shall be treated as compensation paid at the time the portion of the Escrow Amount is actually released to the Employee Optionholders and shall be subject to applicable withholding Tax at such time, (b) the right of the Holders (other than Employee Optionholders) to the Escrow Amount shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local Law, as appropriate, (c) Parent shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount solely for Tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Parent pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-8, (d) if and to the extent any amount of the Escrow Amount that is paid to the Holders (other than Employee Optionholders) is actually distributed to such Holders, interest may be imputed on such amount as required by Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code, and (e) in the event that the total amount of any interest and earnings earned on the portion of the Escrow Amount that is paid to the Holders (other than Employee Optionholders) exceeds the imputed interest, such interest shall be treated as interest or other income and not as purchase price. Clause (e) of the preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the right of the Holders (other than Employee Optionholders) to the Escrow Amount that is paid to such Holders and any interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated maximum selling price under Section 453 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. All parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the foregoing.
ARTICLE IX
REPRESENTATIVE
Section 9.01 Representative.
(a) Without any further act of any of the Stockholders or the other Holders, the Representative is hereby appointed as the representative of the Holders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Holder for purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements and documents executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement and shall take such actions to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements and documents executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement and such other actions on behalf of such Holders as it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with or to consummate the Transactions, including (i) executing and delivering this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other ancillary documents and negotiating and executing such amendments, modifications, waivers or changes thereto as to which the Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have consented, (ii) taking all actions and making all filings on behalf of such Holders with any Governmental Body or other Person necessary to effect the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) agreeing to, negotiating, entering

The Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The appointment of the Representative as each Holder’s attorney-in-fact revokes any power of attorney heretofore granted that authorized any other Person to represent such Holder with regard to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreements or documents executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement. The Representative is the sole and exclusive representative of each of the Holders for any purpose provided for by this Agreement. The Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts based on contact information available to the Representative to keep the Holders reasonably informed with respect to actions of Representative pursuant to the authority granted Representative under this Agreement which actions have a material impact on the amounts payable to the Holders. Each Holder shall promptly provide written notice to the Representative of any change of address of such Holder.
(b) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative hereunder shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Holder, and Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Holder. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent shall be relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative.
(c) The Representative shall incur no liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by any Holder in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by such Representative to be genuine and to have been signed by such Holder, nor for any other action or inaction, except the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Representative. In all questions arising under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the other Transaction Documents the Representative may rely on the advice of outside counsel, and the Representative shall not be liable to any Holder for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by Representative based on such advice.
(d) The Holders shall severally (each based on its Holder Indemnification Percentage) but not jointly indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or other advisors reasonably retained by the Representative. All fees and expenses incurred by the Representative in performing its duties shall be borne by the Holders in accordance with their respective
48
Holder Indemnification Percentage, provided that such fees and expenses shall first be funded from the Representative Cost Escrow Account. In the event that the Representative determines that he is entitled to be reimbursed or advances any such fees and expenses, he will notify the Escrow Agent of the same in writing, in which event the Escrow Agent shall disburse the amount of such fees and expenses to the Representative (up the amount of the remaining Representative Cost Escrow Amount). Parent, Surviving Corporation, and their Affiliates will have no duty to investigate or evaluate any request by the Representative for reimbursement or advancement of fees or expenses, and Holders hereby waive and release Parent, Surviving Corporation, and their Affiliates from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses for Parent’s reliance on any written notice or request from Representative in this regard.
(e) At any time Holders representing at least seventy percent (70%) in interest of the Holders may, by written consent, appoint another Person as Representative. Notice together with a copy of the written consent appointing such Person and bearing the signatures of Holders of at least seventy percent (70%) in interest of the Holders must be delivered to Parent and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to such appointment. Such appointment shall be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date ten (10) days after such consent is received by Parent and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent and Paying Agent. For the purposes of this Section 9.01, “seventy percent (70%) in interest of the Holders” shall mean Holders representing in the aggregate at least seventy percent (70%) of the percentage interests in the Aggregate Merger Consideration.
(f) In the event that the Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in his or its capacity as the Representative, or if the Representative resigns as a Representative, Holders representing at least seventy percent (70%) in interest of the Holders may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of the Holders of at least seventy percent (70%) in interest of the Holders must be delivered to Parent and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent and Paying Agent. Such appointment shall be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date ten (10) days after such consent is received by Parent and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent and Paying Agent.
(g) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Holder, and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the Merger. The provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Holder, and any references in this Agreement to any Holder or the Holders shall mean and include the successors to such Holder’s rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

Each such Holder of Registrable

(e) The Company may, by two (2) days prior written notice to all the Holders of Registrable Securities (each, a “Blackout Notice”), (i) delay the filing of the Registration Statement or a request for acceleration of the effective date or (ii) suspend the Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Holders of Registrable Securities immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, in the event that (A) the Company is engaged in any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that the Company desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if the Company determines in good faith that the public disclosure requirements imposed on the Company under the Securities Act in connection with the Registration Statement would require at that time disclosure of such activity, transaction, preparations or negotiations and such disclosure could result in material harm to the Company or (B) any other event occurs that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue or that requires the making of any additions or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

5
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 2(e)(B), related to the use by a Holder of a defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is defective and prior to the correction of such defect or (C) to the extent that any such Losses arise out of the Holder’s (or any other indemnified Person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s
6
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 2(e)(B) to the extent related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the correction of such defect. In no event shall settlement of any such liability include any non-monetary limitation on the actions of any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates or any admission of fault or liability on behalf of any such Indemnified Person.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
7
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 4) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within twenty (20) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder). The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 5, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 4(a) or 4(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4(d), (A) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (B) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the maker of such contribution would not have been required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the fault standards set forth in this Section 5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 4 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Merger Agreement.
5. | Miscellaneous. |
(a) Assignment of Registration Rights. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Representative. Each Holder may assign its respective rights with respect to any or all of its Registrable Securities in connection with an assignment of such securities; provided in each case that (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and related obligations under this Agreement, and for the transferee or assignee to assume such obligations, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
(b) Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Representative or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
(c) Determination of Holder. Solely for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
(d) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Merger Agreement.

(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter,
9
singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(g) Counterparts.

If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(h) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

FORM OF PAYING AGENT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE

FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE FORMER STOCKHOLDERS, WARRANT HOLDERS AND OPTION HOLDERS OF

Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, the Purchaser has authorized the payment of consideration to certain of the fomer stockholders, warrant holders and option holders of the Company (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 14, 2014, by and among the Company, the Purchaser, the Representative and the other parties set forth on the signature pages thereto (as amended or modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser and the Representative have appointed U.S. Bank to act as paying agent (such role, the “Agent”) for the payment of a portion of the merger consideration due to the Holders in accordance with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Representative, the Purchaser, the Company and U.S. Bank agree as follows:
1. Appointment. U.S. Bank is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts such appointment, to serve as Agent hereunder solely in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.
2. Before Closing. On or before the Effective Time, the Company will furnish U.S. Bank with a certified list, in a format acceptable to U.S. Bank, of Holders of record as of the date of such list, including each such Holder’s name, address, taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) (if known by Purchaser or the Company) as well as the number and type of securities of the Company held by such Holder (the “Final Holders List”). In addition, on or before the Effective Time, the Company will furnish U.S. Bank with the final Distribution Schedule from the Merger Agreement.
3. Deposit of Funds. At the Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser shall deposit with U.S. Bank $16,985,834.54 (the “Closing Payment Amount”). From time to time after the Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, additional funds may be deposited with U.S. Bank (the “Additional Payment Amounts” and together with the Closing
1
Payment Amount, the “Deposited Funds”). U.S. Bank shall hold and safeguard the Deposited Funds and shall hold and dispose of the Deposited Funds only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. U.S. Bank shall draw upon such funds as required in order to make payments to the Holders hereunder and any applicable tax withholding payments. Any portion of the Deposited Funds that, as of the date 180 days after the date such Deposited Funds are deposited with U.S. Bank pursuant to this Agreement, remains undistributed to Holders pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered by U.S. Bank to the Purchaser, and any Holders who have not theretofore surrendered the documentation in accordance with this Agreement and/or the Merger Agreement shall thereafter look only to the Purchaser for satisfaction of their claims (if any) for such portion of the Deposited Funds delivered to the Purchaser.
4. Deposit of Closing Consideration Shares. At the Closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser shall deposit with U.S. Bank certificates representing the Closing Consideration Shares. U.S. Bank shall hold and safeguard the Closing Consideration Shares and shall hold and dispose of the Closing Consideration Shares only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any of the Closing Consideration Shares that, as of the date 180 days after the date such shares are deposited with U.S. Bank pursuant to this Agreement, remain undistributed to Holders pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered by U.S. Bank to the Purchaser, and any Holders who have not theretofore surrendered the documentation in accordance with this Agreement and/or the Merger Agreement shall thereafter look only to the Purchaser for satisfaction of their claims (if any) for such portion of the Closing Consideration Shares delivered to the Purchaser.
5. Disbursement of Deposited Funds and Closing Consideration Shares.
(a) U.S. Bank shall receive and examine Letters of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreements, Company Stock Certificates (or, if applicable, affidavits of lost stock certificate) (collectively, the “Old Certificates”) and other documents delivered or mailed to U.S. Bank by or for Holders to ascertain whether: (i) the Letters of Transmittal and/or Option Cancellation Agreements, as applicable, appear to be duly executed and properly completed; (ii) the Company Stock Certificates, if applicable, appear to be properly surrendered and, if applicable, endorsed for transfer; and (iii) the other documents, if any, used in connection therewith appear to be duly executed and properly completed and in the proper form. If U.S. Bank determines that any Letters of Transmittal, Option Cancellation Agreements or other document has been improperly completed or executed, that any of the information contained in any Letters of Transmittal or Option Cancellation Agreements is deficient, that any of the Old Certificates are not in proper form or some other irregularity exists, then U.S. Bank shall use its standard procedures to attempt to resolve promptly the irregularity or deficiency and shall use its best efforts to contact the appropriate Holder by whatever means of communication U.S. Bank deems most expedient to correct the irregularity or deficiency and, after consultation with the Representative, shall endeavor to take such other reasonable action as may be necessary to cause such irregularity or deficiency to be corrected. U.S. Bank shall not waive any irregularity or deficiency in connection with such information, unless the Representative provides written authorization to waive the irregularity or deficiency.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Closing, U.S. Bank shall cause to be paid or delivered to each Holder who shall have returned a properly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal
2
and/or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, Old Certificate(s) (if applicable) and/or other documents or information required to be returned by such Holder under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or for whom all irregularities or deficiencies have been waived by the Representative in writing, the portion of the Deposited Funds and/or the Closing Consideration Shares required to be paid to such Holder in accordance with the Distribution Schedule (net of applicable withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld, as set forth in the Distribution Schedule or as otherwise directed by the Representative). Within three (3) Business Days of the date any Additional Payment Amounts are received by U.S. Bank, U.S. Bank shall cause to be paid to each Holder who shall have returned a properly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal and/or Option Cancellation Agreement, as applicable, Old Certificate(s) (if applicable) and/or other documents or information required to be returned by such Holder under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or for whom all irregularities or deficiencies have been waived by the Representative in writing (or such other person as shall have been specified pursuant to the terms hereof) the portion of such Additional Payment Amount to be paid to such Holder in accordance with the Distribution Schedule (net of applicable withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld, as set forth in the Distribution Schedule or as otherwise directed by the Representative). U.S. Bank shall process deductions for applicable withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld. If any amount is to be paid to a name other than that in which the Old Certificate surrendered for conversion therefor is registered or issued, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Old Certificate surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such conversion shall pay to U.S. Bank any transfer or other taxes required, or shall establish to the satisfaction U.S. Bank that such tax has been paid or is not payable. U.S. Bank shall not make any payment with respect to any Holder exercising or perfecting appraisal rights under Delaware law (unless otherwise directed in writing by the Representative). Paying Agent shall not pay any amount to any Holder in respect of shares represented by lost or stolen certificates unless such Holder shall have first complied with the delivery and attestation requirements described in the Letter of Transmittal with respect to such shares (the Paying Agent shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of any portion of the Deposited Funds and/or the Closing Consideration Shares (if any) to the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed stock certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Purchaser and Paying Agent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent or any party to the Merger Agreement). Paying Agent shall xxxx Old Certificates in respect of which Paying Agent has issued payment to Holders in accordance with this Agreement as cancelled.
6. Fees and Expenses. Purchaser and Representative agree jointly and severally to compensate U.S. Bank upon its request for its services as Paying Agent in accordance with its schedule of services and fees attached hereto as Exhibit A. Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to Paying Agent, the Purchaser and Representative agree that, as between themselves only, payments of fees and expenses pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Purchaser.
Paying Agent is authorized to, and may disburse to itself from the Deposited Funds (including proceeds from the sale of any Closing Consideration Certificates), from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Paying Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder). Purchaser and Representative hereby grant to Paying Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in, lien upon and right of offset against the Deposited Funds with respect to any compensation or
3
reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder). If for any reason the Deposited Funds are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement Purchaser and Representative shall promptly pay such amounts to Paying Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, U.S. Bank may be removed at any time by the Representative, with or without cause, upon 30 days’ prior written notice. Upon the acceptance in writing of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent approved in writing by the Purchaser, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, but shall not be discharged from any liability for actions taken as Agent hereunder prior to such succession. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. The retiring Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Deposited Funds and/or the Closing Consideration Shares distributed pursuant to this Agreement and shall transfer the portion of such Deposited Funds and/or the Closing Consideration Shares held by it to the successor Agent, after deduction and payment to Paying Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by Paying Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder. Paying Agent may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving ten (10) days prior written notice to the Parent and Representative specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, Parent and Representative jointly shall appoint a successor Paying Agent hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation.

The Paying Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. The Paying Agent has no fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. The Paying Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement, including without limitation any other agreement between any or all of the parties hereto or any other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein. The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Paying Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the sole cause of any loss to the Purchaser, the Representative or any Holder. In no event shall Paying Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or penalties (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if the Paying Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages or penalty and regardless of the form of action.
(b) No consent or agreement of Purchaser shall be required in connection with any action taken in connection with this Agreement unless expressly required hereby or unless such amendment imposes additional obligations on Purchaser. No consent or agreement of the Representative shall be required in connection with any action taken in connection with this Agreement unless expressly required hereby or unless such amendment imposes additional obligations on Representative or the Holders or such amendment changes the rights of the Representative or the Holders under this Agreement (in which case the Representative’s consent or agreement shall be required). No consent or agreement of any Holder shall be required in connection with any action taken in connection with this Agreement unless expressly required hereby or unless such amendment imposes additional obligations on such Holder or such amendment changes the rights of such Holder under this Agreement, in which case such Holder’s consent or agreement shall be required.
(c) U.S. Bank shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any resolution, notice, telegram, request, consent, waiver, certificate, statement, affidavit, voucher, bond, requisition or other paper or documents which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been prepared and furnished by the Representative, the Company or Purchaser regarding this Agreement, and U.S. Bank shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matter referred to in any such instrument, but may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statements. U.S. Bank may consult with legal counsel with regard to legal questions and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered by it as Agent in good faith in accordance therewith.

From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and Representative, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless Paying Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Paying Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation the Purchaser, any Holder and Representative, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Purchaser and Representative further agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Purchaser’s and Representative’s indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Purchaser and Representative jointly and severally. The obligations of Purchaser and Representative under this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Paying Agent.
12. Tax Reporting. The parties hereto understand that, if the Paying Agent does not have the appropriate tax documentation from each Holder, the Paying Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time, to withhold a portion of the merger consideration otherwise due to such Holder.
Purchaser and Representative shall provide the Paying Agent with all information requested by the Paying Agent in connection with the preparation of all applicable Form 1099 and Form 1042-S documents with respect to all distributions as well as in the performance of Paying Agent’s reporting obligations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act or other applicable law or regulation. Purchaser and Representative shall affirm in writing to Paying Agent whether the securities being exchanged, redeemed, or sold pursuant to the Merger Agreement are classified as “Covered Securities” or “Non-Covered Securities” under IRS Cost Basis Reporting regulations not later than thirty (30) days after a distribution hereunder. If such securities are classified as “Covered Securities”, then Purchaser and Representative are jointly responsible for providing accurate and complete cost basis information to Paying Agent for purposes of Form 1099-B preparation. The
6
required information shall include date of acquisition and cost basis of the applicable security, and any other information that Paying Agent may request to comply with IRS 1099-B reporting regulations.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Letter of Transmittal is being delivered pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 14, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Health Insurance Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), SV Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), HealthPocket, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, an individual, the Joining Holders, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as the Representative. Capitalized terms used in this Letter of Transmittal and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is enclosed herewith.
In connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the undersigned encloses herewith and hereby surrenders to the Company the stock certificates (the “Certificates”) (or affidavit(s) of loss in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Affidavit(s) of Loss”)) evidencing the shares of the Company’s (i) Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, and/or (ii) Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share, as applicable, owned of record by the undersigned as described in Part A below (the “Shares”), each of which Shares will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (a) the Closing Preferred Stock Consideration, if any, (b) the Closing Common Stock Consideration, if any, and (c) the per share proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l) of the Merger Agreement, Section 1.13 of the Merger Agreement, and/or from the Escrow Account. The Closing Preferred Stock Consideration and Closing Common Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to in this Letter of Transmittal as the Closing Consideration.
The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is the record owner of the Shares and has full power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and to surrender the Certificates (or Affidavit(s) of Loss) surrendered herewith, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances whatsoever. The undersigned also represents and warrants that the Certificates are not subject to any adverse claims. The undersigned also represents and warrants that the undersigned has received and reviewed the Merger Agreement and understands the Allocation Election to be made by the undersigned pursuant to Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement and Section 1.05(d) of the Merger Agreement. The undersigned understands that if the undersigned makes an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, the undersigned will not be allocated any portion of an incremental cash amount of $2.0 million that will be allocated among the holders of Company stock, options, or warrants who elect to receive a portion of their Closing Consideration in Closing Consideration Shares (each holder’s share of such incremental cash consideration is referred to as the “Incremental Cash Consideration Amount”). In the event the undersigned elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares pursuant to the undersigned’s Allocation Election, the undersigned
further represents and warrants that (i) the undersigned has reviewed and understands the Lock-Up Agreement attached as Annex C hereto, (ii) the undersigned has such knowledge and experience in finance, securities, investments and other business matters so as to be able to protect the interests of the undersigned in connection with the Merger, (iii) the undersigned acknowledges that the Closing Consideration Shares were not offered to the undersigned by way of general solicitation or general advertising by any means, (iv) the undersigned (a) has reviewed the Disclosure Materials provided herewith and had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Parent concerning the acquisition of the Closing Consideration Shares, (b) has had access to Parent’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and all other SEC Reports of Parent made pursuant to the Exchange Act through XXXXX, and (c) understands that the acquisition of the Closing Consideration Shares is subject to risks as stated in the risk factors disclosed in Parent’s SEC Reports or as otherwise may be applicable to similar investments and acknowledges that the undersigned has had an opportunity to review, and upon review, fully understands such risk factors, and (v) the undersigned understands that none of the Closing Consideration Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, that the Closing Consideration Shares will be issued on the basis of the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and under exemptions under certain state securities laws, that this transaction has not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any federal or state agency or self-regulatory organization where an exemption is being relied upon, and that the Company’s and Parent’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal.
The undersigned further acknowledges that, in the event that the undersigned elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in the Merger, the undersigned is familiar with the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares and the issuance by the Parent of the Closing Consideration Shares. In particular, the undersigned agrees that the Parent shall not be required to give any effect to a sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares is registered under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Closing Consideration Shares are not currently registered for sale and that the Parent’s obligations to register such Closing Consideration Shares is limited to the extent set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) such Shares are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, it being understood that Rule 144 is not available at the present time for the sale of the Closing Consideration Shares, or (iii) such sale, assignment or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The undersigned further understands that an opinion of counsel and other documents may be required to transfer the Closing Consideration Shares, and the undersigned also understands that a restrictive legend stating substantially the following will be included on any certificate representing the Closing Consideration Shares:
“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
The undersigned agrees that surrender of the Certificates is made in acceptable form, and delivery of the consideration set forth in the second paragraph of this Letter of Transmittal will occur, only upon the Paying Agent’s receipt of (a) this Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and signed, (b) the Certificates, duly executed for transfer (in blank) on the back thereof, or duly completed and signed Affidavit(s) of Loss in lieu of such Certificates (together with such other documents as may be required by the Paying Agent (see Instruction 9 below)), (c) all accompanying evidence of authority, if required, (d) if the undersigned is electing to receive Closing Consideration Shares in the Merger, a duly and originally signed copy of the Lock-Up Agreement, and (e) any additional documents deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, Parent or the Paying Agent, in form satisfactory to the Company, Parent and the Paying Agent (including a duly executed, completed Form W-9, or applicable Form W-8 in the case of non-U.S. persons). The undersigned also agrees that the method of delivery of all documents, including the Certificates, is at the election and risk of the undersigned and that the risk of loss of and, in the case of the Certificates, title to such documents shall pass only after the Paying Agent has actually received them. The undersigned will take such additional actions that the Company and the Paying Agent request to complete the surrender of the Certificates. The undersigned acknowledges that, as set forth in Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement, if the Paying Agent does not receive, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the form of Letter of Transmittal to the undersigned, a completed Letter of Transmittal (including an executed Lock-Up Agreement) duly executed by the undersigned containing an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares, the undersigned will be deemed to make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, regardless of what the undersigned selects in its “Allocation Election” section of Part C of this Letter of Transmittal, and you will not be entitled to make an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares.
The undersigned consents to and approves, without objection, the Merger and agrees to be bound by (i) the confidentiality and non-use covenants set forth in Section 5.02(b) of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the indemnification provisions in Article VII of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the provisions of Article IX of the Merger Agreement relating to the Representative. The undersigned also agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article X and Article XI of the Merger Agreement to the extent that such provisions relate to the sections of the Merger Agreement referenced in the preceding sentence.
The undersigned irrevocably waives any notice of (i) appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii) dissenters’ rights under Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code, and any appraisal rights under those sections or otherwise.

In particular, with respect to the Representative, the undersigned expressly agrees as follows:
1. Appointment of the Representative. The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints the Representative as the undersigned’s representative, attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the undersigned in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and to act on behalf of the undersigned in any amendment of or action involving the Merger Agreement, including initiating, prosecuting, defending, negotiating, settling or otherwise dealing with claims on behalf of or against the undersigned arising under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and Escrow Agreement or any transactions or matters related thereto, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the power:
(a) to execute and deliver, and administer all matters pertaining to performance under, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(b) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(c) to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(d) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with any claims under the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and
(e) to take all actions that, under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and pursuant to the transactions contemplated thereby, may be taken by the undersigned (or the Representative) and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the undersigned that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in the Representative’s sole discretion relating to the subject matter of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as fully and completely as the undersigned could do if personally present.
2. Indemnity of Representative. The undersigned shall, in accordance with the undersigned’s respective pro rata equity interests in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Representative for, and hold the Representative harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without willful misconduct on the part of the Representative arising out of or in connection with the Representative exercising the Representative’s rights or performing his or its duties under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. Without limiting any direct right of recovery against the undersigned for indemnification, the foregoing indemnity shall entitle the Representative to indemnification or recoupment from and right of set off against, any Closing Consideration Shares or any funds (including those held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement that are to be distributed to the undersigned after satisfaction of any claims pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement). The Representative may consult with counsel of the Representative’s own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by the Representative in good faith and pursuant to the opinion of such counsel. The Representative shall have no liability to the undersigned with respect to actions or omissions in the Representative’s capacities as such, except to the extent that such actions or omissions are in bad faith or constitute willful misconduct. The Representative shall be fully protected against the undersigned in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that the Representative in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof).
3. Decisions of Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall constitute a decision of the undersigned and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the undersigned. In the event that a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representatives is not provided within thirty (30) days of Parent’s request for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, the matter at issue shall be finally determined, as soon as reasonably practicable, by approval of the holders of seventy percent (70%) of the economic interest represented by all of the Holders immediately prior to the Effective Time.

In addition to the above, Closing Consideration Shares payable to you, if any, will not be issued to you unless you execute and deliver with this Letter of Transmittal the Lock-Up Agreement attached as Annex C hereto. As set forth in Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement, if the Paying Agent does not receive, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the form of Letter of Transmittal to you, a completed Letter of Transmittal (including an executed Lock-Up Agreement) duly executed by you containing an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares, you will be deemed to make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger (regardless of what you select in your “Allocation Election” section of Part C of this Letter of Transmittal), and you will not be entitled to make an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares.
2. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal. For this Letter of Transmittal to be effective, you must sign in Part D below. If you are an individual, then you must sign in Part D-1 below.

3. Additional Letters of Transmittal. If any of the Shares are registered in different names, then it will be necessary to complete, sign and deliver as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Shares. For example, if you own Shares directly and through a trust, then you must complete, sign and deliver a Letter of Transmittal for the Shares that you own directly and the trust must do so for the Shares that you own through the trust. The Company has provided a Letter of Transmittal to each registered shareholder, so you should sign your Letter of Transmittal and the trust should sign its Letter of Transmittal.

Failure to timely provide a properly completed, signed, and dated IRS Form W-9 may subject you to federal income tax backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on any payments made pursuant to the Merger Agreement (including the Escrow Amount) and may subject you to penalties imposed by the IRS. Non-U.S. persons may be subject to U.S. withholding at a 30% rate (or backup withholding at a 28% rate). Any amount withheld is non-refundable by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Representative, the Paying Agent and/or the Escrow Agent.

If the Certificate(s) has (have) been lost or destroyed, such fact should be indicated on the face of this Letter of Transmittal. In such event, the Paying Agent will forward additional documentation and instructions necessary to be completed in order to effectively surrender the Shares represented by such lost or destroyed Certificate(s) (including instructions relating to payment by holder of such lost or destroyed Certificate of an indemnity/surety bond fee equal to 2.25% of the cash value of the Shares represented by such Certificate with a minimum of $150.00.

ANNEX B
IMPORTANT INCOME TAX INFORMATION
Under federal income tax law, a Holder whose Certificates are surrendered is required to provide the Paying Agent with such Holder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 or on the applicable Form W-8 (in the case of non-U.S. persons). If such Holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the Paying Agent is not provided with the proper TIN, the Holder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). In addition, failure to timely provide a properly completed, signed, and dated IRS Form W-9 may subject a Holder to federal income tax backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on any payments made in connection with the Merger (including in connection with the Escrow Agreement) to such Holder and may subject such Holder to penalties imposed by the IRS. Certain shareholders (including, among others, certain corporations and certain foreign individuals) may not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed instructions on IRS Form W-9 for additional information.
If backup withholding applies, Parent and/or the Paying Agent is required to withhold a percentage (currently at a rate of 28%) of any payments made to the Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Any amount withheld is non-refundable by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Representative, the Paying Agent and/or the Escrow Agent.
Purpose of IRS Form W-9
To prevent federal income tax backup withholding with respect to payments made to a Holder with respect to Certificates in connection with the Merger Agreement, a Holder should provide the Paying Agent with his, her or its correct TIN by completing the IRS Form W-9 and certifying that the TIN provided on IRS Form W-9 is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), that such Holder is a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (as defined) and that such Holder is not subject to backup withholding because: (i) such holder is exempt from federal backup withholding, or (ii) such holder has not been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to federal backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (iii) the IRS has notified such holder that such holder is no longer subject to federal backup withholding (see Part 2 of IRS Form W-9).
Purpose of IRS Form W-8
If a Holder is not a U.S. person (i.e., generally not a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien), then the Holder must execute the applicable IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that person’s exempt status. Non-U.S. persons may be subject to U.S. withholding at a 30% rate (or backup withholding at a 28% rate).
What Number to Give the Paying Agent
A Holder who is a U.S. person is required to give the Paying Agent the social security number or employer identification number of the record owner of the Certificates. If the Certificates are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed instructions on IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance on the proper number to report. If the surrendering Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near future, such Holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for in the TIN, sign and date the IRS Form W-9, and give it to the Paying Agent as set forth in the instructions.
All Holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to IRS Form W-9 and Forms W-8, backup and other withholding, and all other tax issues relating to the Merger.

Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Stock issued on August 16, 2013 by the Company to the undersigned (the “Warrant”).
In connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Warrant will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (a) the Closing Warrant Consideration, if any, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and (b) the proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l) of the Merger Agreement, Section 1.13 of the Merger Agreement, and/or from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, the undersigned shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Warrant except as otherwise provided for in the Merger Agreement or under applicable Law. On the date the undersigned delivers this Letter of Transmittal to the Company, the undersigned shall also deliver the original Warrant to the Company to be cancelled.
The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is the record owner of the Warrant and has full power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and to surrender the Warrant, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances whatsoever. The undersigned also represents and warrants that the Warrant is not subject to any adverse claims. The undersigned also represents and warrants that the undersigned has received and reviewed the Merger Agreement and understands the Allocation Election to be made by the undersigned pursuant to Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement and Section 1.05(d) of the Merger Agreement. The undersigned understands that if the undersigned makes an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, the undersigned will not be allocated any portion of an incremental cash amount of $2.0 million that will be allocated among the holders of Company stock, options, or warrants who elect to receive a portion of their Closing Consideration in Closing Consideration Shares (each holder’s share of such incremental cash consideration is referred to as the “Incremental Cash Consideration Amount”). In the event the undersigned elects to receive Closing
Consideration Shares pursuant to the undersigned’s Allocation Election, the undersigned further represents and warrants that (i) the undersigned has reviewed and understands the Lock-Up Agreement attached as Annex B hereto, (ii) the undersigned has such knowledge and experience in finance, securities, investments and other business matters so as to be able to protect the interests of the undersigned in connection with the Merger, (iii) the undersigned acknowledges that the Closing Consideration Shares were not offered to the undersigned by way of general solicitation or general advertising by any means, (iv) the undersigned (a) has reviewed the Disclosure Materials provided herewith and had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Parent concerning the acquisition of the Closing Consideration Shares, (b) has had access to Parent’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and all other SEC Reports of Parent made pursuant to the Exchange Act through XXXXX, and (c) understands that the acquisition of the Closing Consideration Shares is subject to risks as stated in the risk factors disclosed in Parent’s SEC Reports or as otherwise may be applicable to similar investments and acknowledges that the undersigned has had an opportunity to review, and upon review, fully understands such risk factors, and (v) the undersigned understands that none of the Closing Consideration Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, that the Closing Consideration Shares will be issued on the basis of the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and under exemptions under certain state securities laws, that this transaction has not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any federal or state agency or self-regulatory organization where an exemption is being relied upon, and that the Company’s and Parent’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal.
The undersigned further acknowledges that, in the event that the undersigned elects to receive Closing Consideration Shares in the Merger, the undersigned is familiar with the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares and the issuance by the Parent of the Closing Consideration Shares. In particular, the undersigned agrees that the Parent shall not be required to give any effect to a sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares is registered under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Closing Consideration Shares are not currently registered for sale and that the Parent’s obligations to register such Closing Consideration Shares is limited to the extent set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) such Shares are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, it being understood that Rule 144 is not available at the present time for the sale of the Closing Consideration Shares, or (iii) such sale, assignment or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The undersigned further understands that an opinion of counsel and other documents may be required to transfer the Closing Consideration Shares, and the undersigned also understands that a restrictive legend stating substantially the following will be included on any certificate representing the Closing Consideration Shares:
“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
The undersigned agrees that delivery of the consideration set forth in the second paragraph of this Letter of Transmittal will occur, only upon the Company’s receipt of (a) this Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and signed, (b) if the undersigned is electing to receive Closing Consideration Shares in the Merger, a duly and originally signed copy of the Lock-Up Agreement, and (c) any additional documents deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company or Parent, in form satisfactory to the Company and Parent (including a duly executed, completed Form W-9, or applicable Form W-8 in the case of non-U.S. persons). The undersigned also agrees that the method of delivery of all documents is at the election and risk of the undersigned and that the risk of loss of such documents shall pass only after the Company has actually received them. The undersigned will take such additional actions that the Company and Parent request to complete the surrender and termination of the Warrant. The undersigned acknowledges that, as set forth in Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement, if the Company does not receive, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the form of Letter of Transmittal to the undersigned, a completed Letter of Transmittal (including an executed Lock-Up Agreement) duly executed by the undersigned containing an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares, the undersigned will be deemed to make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, regardless of what the undersigned selects in its “Allocation Election” section of Part B of this Letter of Transmittal, and the undersigned will not be entitled to make an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares.
The undersigned consents to and approves, without objection, the Merger and agrees to be bound by (i) the confidentiality and non-use covenants set forth in Section 5.02(b) of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the indemnification provisions in Article VII of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the provisions of Article IX of the Merger Agreement relating to the Representative. The undersigned also agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article X and Article XI of the Merger Agreement to the extent that such provisions relate to the sections of the Merger Agreement referenced in the preceding sentence.
The undersigned irrevocably waives any notice of (i) appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii) dissenters’ rights under Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code, and any appraisal rights under those sections or otherwise.

In particular, with respect to the Representative, the undersigned expressly agrees as follows:
1. Appointment of the Representative.

(a) to execute and deliver, and administer all matters pertaining to performance under, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(b) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(c) to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(d) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with any claims under the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and
(e) to take all actions that, under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and pursuant to the transactions contemplated thereby, may be taken by the undersigned (or the Representative) and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the undersigned that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in the Representative’s sole discretion relating to the subject matter of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as fully and completely as the undersigned could do if personally present.
2. Indemnity of Representative. The undersigned shall, in accordance with the undersigned’s respective pro rata equity interests in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming for this purpose that the Warrant had been fully exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time by a net exercise method), severally and not jointly, indemnify the Representative for, and hold the Representative harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without willful misconduct on the part of the Representative arising out of or in connection with the Representative exercising the Representative’s rights or performing his or its duties under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. Without limiting any direct right of recovery against the undersigned for indemnification, the foregoing indemnity shall entitle the Representative to indemnification or recoupment from and right of set off against, any Closing Consideration Shares or any funds (including those held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement that are to be distributed to the undersigned after satisfaction of any claims pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement). The Representative may consult with counsel of the Representative’s own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by the Representative in good faith and pursuant to the opinion of such counsel. The Representative shall have no liability to the undersigned with respect to actions or omissions in the Representative’s capacities as such, except to the extent that such actions or omissions are in bad faith or constitute willful misconduct. The Representative shall be fully protected against the undersigned in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that the Representative in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof).
3. Decisions of Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall constitute a decision of the undersigned and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the undersigned. In the event that a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representatives is not provided within thirty (30) days of Parent’s request for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, the matter at issue shall be finally determined, as soon as reasonably practicable, by approval of the holders of seventy percent (70%) of the economic interest represented by all of the Holders immediately prior to the Effective Time.

ANNEX A
IMPORTANT INCOME TAX INFORMATION
Under federal income tax law, a Holder whose Warrants are surrendered is required to provide the Company with such Holder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 or on the applicable Form W-8 (in the case of non-U.S. persons). If such Holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the Company is not provided with the proper TIN, the Holder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). In addition, failure to timely provide a properly completed, signed, and dated IRS Form W-9 may subject a Holder to federal income tax backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on any payments made in connection with the Merger (including in connection with the Escrow Agreement) to such Holder and may subject such Holder to penalties imposed by the IRS. Certain Holders (including, among others, certain corporations and certain foreign individuals) may not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed instructions on IRS Form W-9 for additional information.
If backup withholding applies, Parent and/or the Company is required to withhold a percentage (currently at a rate of 28%) of any payments made to the Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Any amount withheld is non-refundable by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Representative, the Paying Agent and/or the Escrow Agent.
Purpose of IRS Form W-9
To prevent federal income tax backup withholding with respect to payments made to a Holder with respect to Warrants in connection with the Merger Agreement, a Holder should provide the Paying Agent with his, her or its correct TIN by completing the IRS Form W-9 and certifying that the TIN provided on IRS Form W-9 is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), that such Holder is a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (as defined) and that such Holder is not subject to backup withholding because: (i) such holder is exempt from federal backup withholding, or (ii) such holder has not been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to federal backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (iii) the IRS has notified such holder that such holder is no longer subject to federal backup withholding (see Part 2 of IRS Form W-9).
Purpose of IRS Form W-8
If a Holder is not a U.S. person (i.e., generally not a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien), then the Holder must execute the applicable IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that person’s exempt status. Non-U.S. persons may be subject to U.S. withholding at a 30% rate (or backup withholding at a 28% rate).
What Number to Give the Company
A Holder who is a U.S. person is required to give the Company the social security number or employer identification number of the record owner of the Warrant. If the Warrant is in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed instructions on IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance on the proper number to report. If the surrendering Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near future, such Holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for in the TIN, sign and date the IRS Form W-9, and give it to the Company as set forth in the instructions.
All Holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to IRS Form W-9 and Forms W-8, backup and other withholding, and all other tax issues relating to the Merger.

HEALTHPOCKET, INC.
OPTION CANCELLATION AGREEMENT
July 14, 2014
You are receiving this Option Cancellation Agreement (this “Agreement”) because you currently hold vested options (“Options”) to purchase stock of HealthPocket, Inc. (“HealthPocket”) that were granted under the HealthPocket, Inc. 2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “Plan”).
As you may be aware, HealthPocket has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 14, 2014 (“Merger Agreement”) with Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (“HII”), SV Merger Sub, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of HII (“Merger Sub”), Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, the Joining Holders, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as the Representative. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is enclosed herewith.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, HII will acquire HealthPocket through a merger of Merger Sub with and into HealthPocket. After the Merger is completed, a subsidiary of HII will be the sole owner of HealthPocket. Therefore, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and permitted by the terms of the Plan, each of your vested Options will be cancelled upon the closing of the Merger in exchange for the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Options will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive (a) a portion of the Closing Option Consideration, if any, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and (b) the proceeds, if any, distributed pursuant to Section 1.05(l) of the Merger Agreement, Section 1.13 of the Merger Agreement, and/or from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The payments set forth in this paragraph will be determined and paid in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and will be subject to applicable taxes, and such payment(s) will be paid in the manner you select in Part A below. If you currently hold any unvested options, then you will receive a separate notice that will address the treatment of such unvested options in connection with the Merger.
From and after the Effective Time, you shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Options except as otherwise provided for in the Merger Agreement or under applicable Law. On the date you deliver this Agreement to HealthPocket, you shall also deliver the original Options to HealthPocket to be cancelled.
By signing below, you represent and warrant that you are the record owner of the Options and that you have full power, authority and legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to surrender the Options, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances whatsoever. By signing below, you also represent and warrant that the Options are not subject to any adverse claims. By signing below, you also represent and warrant that you have received and reviewed the Merger Agreement and understand the Allocation Election to be made by you pursuant to Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement and Section 1.05(d) of the Merger Agreement. You understand that if you make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, you will not be allocated any portion of an incremental cash amount of $2.0 million that will be allocated among the holders of HealthPocket stock, options, or warrants who elect to receive a portion of their Closing Consideration in Closing Consideration Shares (each holder’s share of such incremental cash consideration is referred to as the “Incremental Cash Consideration Amount”). In the event you elect to receive Closing Consideration Shares pursuant to your Allocation Election, by signing below, you further represent and warrant that (i) you have reviewed and understands the Lock-Up Agreement attached as Annex A hereto, (ii) you have such knowledge and experience in finance, securities, investments and other business matters so as to be able to protect your interests in
connection with the Merger, (iii) you acknowledge that the Closing Consideration Shares were not offered to you by way of general solicitation or general advertising by any means, (iv) you (a) have reviewed the Disclosure Materials provided herewith and had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from HII concerning the acquisition of the Closing Consideration Shares, (b) have had access to HII’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and all other SEC Reports of HII made pursuant to the Exchange Act through XXXXX, and (c) understand that the acquisition of the Closing Consideration Shares is subject to risks as stated in the risk factors disclosed in HII’s SEC Reports or as otherwise may be applicable to similar investments and acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review, and upon review, fully understand such risk factors, and (v) you understand that none of the Closing Consideration Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, that the Closing Consideration Shares will be issued on the basis of the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and under exemptions under certain state securities laws, that this transaction has not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any federal or state agency or self-regulatory organization where an exemption is being relied upon, and that HII’s and HealthPocket’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made by you in this Agreement.
By signing below, you further acknowledge that, in the event that you elect to receive Closing Consideration Shares in the Merger, you are familiar with the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares and the issuance by HII of the Closing Consideration Shares. In particular, you agree that HII shall not be required to give any effect to a sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Closing Consideration Shares is registered under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Closing Consideration Shares are not currently registered for sale and that HII’s obligations to register such Closing Consideration Shares is limited to the extent set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or (ii) such Shares are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, it being understood that Rule 144 is not available at the present time for the sale of the Closing Consideration Shares, or (iii) such sale, assignment or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. By signing below, you further acknowledge and understand that an opinion of counsel and other documents may be required to transfer the Closing Consideration Shares, and you also acknowledge and understand that a restrictive legend stating substantially the following will be included on any certificate representing the Closing Consideration Shares:
“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY, AND THE RESALE OF SUCH SHARES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”
By signing below, you agree that delivery of the consideration set forth in the fourth paragraph of this Agreement will occur, only upon HealthPocket’s receipt of (a) this Agreement, duly completed and signed, (b) if you are electing to receive Closing Consideration Shares in the Merger, a duly and originally signed copy of the Lock-Up Agreement, and (c) any additional documents deemed necessary or appropriate by HII or HealthPocket, in form satisfactory to HII and HealthPocket (including a duly executed, completed Form W-9, or applicable Form W-8 in the case of non-U.S. persons). By signing below, you agree that you will take such additional actions that HealthPocket and HII request to complete the surrender and termination of the Options. By signing below you acknowledges that, as set forth in Section 1.04(g) of the Merger Agreement, if HealthPocket does not receive, within thirty (30) days after delivery of this Agreement to you, a completed Agreement (including an executed Lock-Up Agreement) duly executed by you containing an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares, you will be deemed to make an Allocation Election to receive only cash in the Merger, regardless of what you select in the “Allocation Election” section of Part B below, and you will not be entitled to make an Allocation Election to receive Closing Consideration Shares.

1. Appointment of the Representative. You hereby irrevocably appoint the Representative as your representative, attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of you in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and to act on your behalf in any amendment of or action involving the Merger Agreement, including initiating, prosecuting, defending, negotiating, settling or otherwise dealing with claims on behalf of or against you arising under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and Escrow Agreement or any transactions or matters related thereto, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the power:
(a) to execute and deliver, and administer all matters pertaining to performance under, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(b) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of HealthPocket to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and
(c) to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and

(e) to take all actions that, under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and pursuant to the transactions contemplated thereby, may be taken by you (or the Representative) and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on your behalf that the Representative deems necessary or appropriate in the Representative’s sole discretion relating to the subject matter of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as fully and completely as you could do if personally present.
2. Indemnity of Representative. You shall, in accordance with your respective pro rata equity interests in HealthPocket immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming for this purpose that
3
the Options had been fully exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time by payment of the exercise price in cash and not by a net exercise or other cashless exercise method), severally and not jointly, indemnify the Representative for, and hold the Representative harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without willful misconduct on the part of the Representative arising out of or in connection with the Representative exercising the Representative’s rights or performing his or its duties under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. Without limiting any direct right of recovery against you for indemnification, the foregoing indemnity shall entitle the Representative to indemnification or recoupment from and right of set off against, any Closing Consideration Shares or any funds (including those held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement that are to be distributed to you after satisfaction of any claims pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement). The Representative may consult with counsel of the Representative’s own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by the Representative in good faith and pursuant to the opinion of such counsel. The Representative shall have no liability to you with respect to actions or omissions in the Representative’s capacities as such, except to the extent that such actions or omissions are in bad faith or constitute willful misconduct. The Representative shall be fully protected against you in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that the Representative in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof).
3. Decisions of Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall constitute a decision made by you and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you. In the event that a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representatives is not provided within thirty (30) days of HII’s request for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, the matter at issue shall be finally determined, as soon as reasonably practicable, by approval of the holders of seventy percent (70%) of the economic interest represented by all of the Holders immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1. Appointment of the Representative. You hereby irrevocably appoint the Representative as your representative, attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of you in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and to act on your behalf in any amendment of or action involving the Merger Agreement, including initiating, prosecuting, defending, negotiating, settling or otherwise dealing with claims on behalf of or against you arising under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and Escrow Agreement or any transactions or matters related thereto, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the power:
(a) to execute and deliver, and administer all matters pertaining to performance under, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and

2. Indemnity of Representative. You shall, in accordance with your respective pro rata equity interests in HealthPocket immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming for this purpose that
3
the Options had been fully exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time by payment of the exercise price in cash and not by a net exercise or other cashless exercise method), severally and not jointly, indemnify the Representative for, and hold the Representative harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without willful misconduct on the part of the Representative arising out of or in connection with the Representative exercising the Representative’s rights or performing his or its duties under the Merger Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. Without limiting any direct right of recovery against you for indemnification, the foregoing indemnity shall entitle the Representative to indemnification or recoupment from and right of set off against, any Closing Consideration Shares or any funds (including those held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement that are to be distributed to you after satisfaction of any claims pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement). The Representative may consult with counsel of the Representative’s own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by the Representative in good faith and pursuant to the opinion of such counsel. The Representative shall have no liability to you with respect to actions or omissions in the Representative’s capacities as such, except to the extent that such actions or omissions are in bad faith or constitute willful misconduct. The Representative shall be fully protected against you in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that the Representative in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof).
3. Decisions of Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall constitute a decision made by you and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you. In the event that a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representatives is not provided within thirty (30) days of HII’s request for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, the matter at issue shall be finally determined, as soon as reasonably practicable, by approval of the holders of seventy percent (70%) of the economic interest represented by all of the Holders immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
In consideration of the Merger upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the former stockholders and certain option and warrant holders of the Acquired Company will receive a combination of cash and Parent Shares. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the undersigned is a material inducement to, and condition of, the Company’s consummation of the Merger.
In consideration of the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing through the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Parent Shares issued to the undersigned pursuant to the Merger (the “Lock-Up Shares”), enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Company. The restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall lapse as to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Lock-Up Shares on each of the following dates: (i) January 14, 2016, (ii) April 14, 2016, (iii) July 14, 2016, (iv) October 14, 2016, (v) January 16, 2017, and (vi) April 14, 2017.

Facsimile or electronically transmitted signatures to this Agreement shall be binding and have the same force and effect as manually executed original signatures.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Lock-Up Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

(c) Accelerated Vesting. [In the event of a Change in Control after the Grant Date, if the Participant holds unvested Options at the time a Change in Control occurs, the Options shall become 100% vested, non-forfeitable and exercisable, and all restrictions thereon shall lapse, on the date of the Change in Control immediately prior to the consummation thereof.] OR [In the event the Participant is terminated by the Company other than for Cause within the 24-month period beginning on the date of a Change in Control after the Grant Date, all unvested Options shall become vested and exercisable, and all restrictions thereon shall lapse, on the Termination Date.]
(d) Termination. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service:
(i) All of the Options that are vested and exercisable as of the date of the Termination of Service shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (A) 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, (B) the date of the Participant’s termination by the Company for Cause, (C) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Participant’s termination as a result of death or Disability (at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause), or (D) the date that is 90 days after the date of the Participant’s termination for any other reason (at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause).
(ii) All of the Options that are not vested and exercisable as of the date of the Termination of Service shall automatically be forfeited to the Company without consideration.

(e) Transferability. The Options, and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, shall not be assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise be subject to alienation
5 | Unless a different definition is used in the applicable HealthPocket grant agreement, in which case, that definition should be used here. |
by the Participant, other than by will or the law of descent and distribution, and any purported assignment, sale, transfer or other alienation not permitted hereunder shall be void. During the Participant’s lifetime, the Options shall be exercisable only by the Participant (or guardian, in the event of the Participant’s incapacity).
Section 3. Exercise.
(a) When to Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may exercise his or her Options that are then exercisable under Section 2, in whole or in part, by following the procedures set forth in this Section 3. If partially exercised, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may thereafter exercise the remaining unexercised portion of the Options, to the extent that they are then exercisable under Section 2, by following the procedures set forth in this Section 3.
(b) Election to Exercise. To exercise the Options, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) a written notice (or notice through another previously approved method, which could include a web-based or e-mail system) which sets forth the number of Options being exercised, together with any additional documents as the Company may require. Each such notice must satisfy whatever then-current procedures apply to the Options and must contain such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company requires. If someone other than the Participant exercises the Options, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the Options.
(c) Payment. To exercise the Options, the completed exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the total exercise price and, subject to Section 3(g), all applicable withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise in the forms of payment permitted by the Company.
(d) Date of Exercise. The Options shall be deemed to be exercised on the business day that the Company receives a fully executed and completed exercise notice and payment of the total exercise price. If an exercise notice and/or payment is received on a day that is not a business day, or is received after 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a business day, then the Options shall be deemed to be exercised on the first business day immediately following the day such notice is received by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may suspend exercise of the Options pending its determination of whether a Participant’s employment will be or could have been terminated for Cause and if such determination is made, the exercise notice will automatically be rescinded.
(e) Settlement. Upon a valid exercise of Options and payment of applicable withholding taxes, the Participant shall be entitled to receive that number of Shares equal to the total number of Options then being exercised
(f) Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon exercise of Options, and if the number of Shares otherwise issuable under Section 3(e) upon an exercise of Options includes a fraction of a Share, then upon such exercise the Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) the number of Shares determined under Section 3(e), rounded down to the nearest whole Share, plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, multiplied by such fraction of a Share.
(g) Withholding Requirements. The delivery of Shares upon settlement of Options is conditioned on the Participant making arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy all tax (or other governmental obligation) withholding requirements. In the event that there is any such withholding requirement upon an exercise of Options, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may require, permit the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon such exercise a number of Shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. If the Committee permits the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Participant, an amount of cash withholding equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares withheld by the Company as provided above.
(h) Compliance with Law and Regulations. The Options, their exercise and the obligation of the Company to issue Shares in settlement thereof are subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, including securities laws, to approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required, and to the rules, regulations and other requirements of the stock market or exchange upon which the Shares are then quoted, traded or listed. The Participant may not exercise an Option if such exercise would violate any securities laws or other applicable law, rule, regulation or requirement.
Section 4. No Rights of Stockholder. A holder of an Option, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares underlying the Option for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement be construed to confer upon the holder of an Option, as such, any of the rights or obligations of a stockholder of the Company, unless and until Shares are actually issued to and held of record by such holder upon settlement of the Options following valid exercise thereof.
Section 5. Change in Control. Without limiting the Committee’s power under the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee is authorized (but not obligated) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Options without the need for the consent of the Participant, including, without limitation, the following (or any combination thereof):
(a) The Committee may provide for the continuation or assumption of the Options and this Agreement by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof), including the Company if it is the surviving entity, or for the substitution of the Options and this Agreement with a substitute award with terms comparable to the Options and
this Agreement (in each case with appropriate adjustments as to the Exercise Price and the number and type of Shares (or other securities) underlying the Award or substitute award). The determination of such appropriate adjustments and comparability shall be made by the Committee.
(b) The Committee may provide for the cancellation of all or any portion of the Options for their Intrinsic Value (payable in the form of cash, stock, securities, other property or any combination thereof) based upon the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction. If at the time of a Change in Control such Intrinsic Value is equal to or less than zero (i.e., the Exercise Price of the Options equals or exceeds the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction), then the Committee may provide for the cancellation of the Options without the payment of any consideration therefor.
Section 6. Restrictions on Resale. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees not to sell any Shares acquired under this Agreement at a time when applicable laws, Company policies, or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale.
Section 7. Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the undersigned Participant agrees that the Participant shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company and the Company’s underwriters. Such restriction shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.
Section 8. Recoupment; Rescission of Exercise. If the Committee determines that recoupment of incentive compensation paid to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement is required under any law or any recoupment policy of the Company, then this Option will terminate immediately on the date of such determination to the extent required by such law or recoupment policy, any prior exercise of this Option may be deemed to be rescinded, and the Committee may recoup any such incentive compensation in accordance with such recoupment policy or as required by law. The Company shall have the right to offset against any other amounts due to the Participant from the Company the amount owed by the Participant hereunder and any exercise price and withholding amount tendered by the Participant with respect to any such incentive compensation.
Section 9. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement (other than a notice of exercise, which shall be provided in accordance with Section 3) shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person (by courier or otherwise), mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile transmission, as follows:

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of July 14, 2014, by and between Health Insurance Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Executive”).
Recitals
A. The parties are entering into this Agreement in connection with a merger transaction pursuant to which the Company acquired HealthPocket, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HealthPocket”), by an indirect subsidiary of the Company merging with and into HealthPocket, with HealthPocket surviving the merger; and

Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
Section 1. Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
(a) The Company shall employ Executive during the Term (as defined below) as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Executive shall have such authority and such responsibilities as are assigned or delegated to him from time to time by the Company, which shall include but not be limited to such authority and responsibilities as are customarily associated with the position of chief operating officer.

1
to the best of Executive’s ability. Executive further agrees to accept election and to serve during all or any part of the Term as an officer, director or representative of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, HealthPocket), without any compensation therefor other than that specified in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Term, Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of HealthPocket, without any compensation therefor other than that specified in this Agreement.

Section 2. Term. As used herein, the “Term” means the period commencing as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date. The Term shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless Executive or the Company gives written notice of termination on or before the 30th day prior to the expiration of any Term of Executive’s or the Company’s desire not to renew the Term. Any such renewal shall be upon the terms and conditions set forth herein unless otherwise agreed between the Company and Executive in writing. In the event that the Company gives written notice that it does not intend to renew the Term, and absent any circumstances that would constitute Termination for Cause (as defined below), (a) Executive shall work through the end of the Term at Executive’s compensation rate then in effect and (b) following the end of the Term, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s annual
2
Salary hereunder (at the rate then in effect) payable bi-monthly in accordance with the Company’s then existing payroll practices (referred to as “Salary Continuation”) for the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending twelve (12) months after the Termination Date (the “Salary Continuation Period”).

Section 3. Compensation. Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation:
(a) The Company agrees to pay to Executive a salary in cash (the “Salary”), as compensation for the services to be performed by Executive, at the rate of $275,000 per calendar year, paid in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll procedures and subject to applicable withholding. During the Term, the Company shall have the right to increase, but not decrease, the Salary. Executive’s salary as in effect from time to time shall constitute the “Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.
(b) As of the Effective Date, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Executive a Stock Appreciation Rights Award Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “SAR Agreement”), evidencing a grant to Executive pursuant to the terms of the Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan of 10,000 SARs (as defined in the SAR Agreement).

(d) Executive shall be eligible for annual bonuses, long term incentive awards, equity incentive plans, stock option plans, or incentive compensation plans consistent with other similarly situated Company executives. Executive shall also be eligible for any other agreements or arrangements as determined at the sole discretion of the CEO of the Company.
3
(e) Executive shall be entitled to all rights and benefits for which Executive shall be eligible under any retirement, retirement savings, profit-sharing, pension or welfare benefit plan, life, disability, health, dental, hospitalization and other forms of insurance and all other so-called “fringe” benefits or perquisites (except with respect to any plan that provides severance or other similar benefits), on the same terms that the Company provides to other similarly situated senior Company executives (subject to all restrictions on participation that may apply under federal and state tax laws).

(vi) In the event that the Company is obligated to pay or elects to pay Salary Continuation hereunder, and as additional consideration for the payment of such Salary Continuation, Executive agrees that, during the applicable Salary Continuation Period, he will provide consulting services to the Company on matters that may be requested from time to time by the Company that relate to Executive’s former duties and area of responsibility with the Company (the “Consulting Services”). The Consulting Services may be performed by Executive telephonically or by email (at the option of Executive) upon reasonable advance notice to Executive and only at such times as the provision of the Consulting Services will not unreasonably interfere with Executive’s other commitments. Executive shall be available to perform the Consulting Services not more than twenty (20) hours per month during the Salary Continuation Period, and in no event will Executive be required to incur any out-of-pocket costs in connection with the provision of the Consulting Services (other than payment of his own general telephone and internet charges).

(f) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that Executive has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that Executive fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein and Executive agrees that Executive will not, directly or indirectly: (i) use, disclose, reverse engineer or otherwise exploit for Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than the Company the Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company; (ii) during Executive’s employment with the Company, use, disclose, or reverse engineer (x) any confidential information or trade secrets of any former employer or third party, or (y) any works of authorship developed in whole or in part by Executive during any former employment or for any other party, unless authorized in writing by the former employer or third party; or (iii) upon Executive’s resignation or termination (x) retain Confidential Information, including any copies existing in any form (including electronic form), that are in Executive’s possession or control, or (y) destroy, delete or alter the Confidential Information without the Company’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may use the Confidential Information in the course of performing Executive’s duties on behalf of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company (including, without
12
limitation, HealthPocket) as described hereunder, provided that such use is made in good faith. Executive will immediately surrender possession of all Confidential Information to Company upon any suspension or termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason.
(g) Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges that all (i) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analysis, drawings, reports, processes, novel concepts and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Company’s or any of its parents’, subsidiaries’ or other affiliates’ (including, without limitation, HealthPocket’s) actual or anticipated businesses, (ii) research and development and (iii) existing or future products or services that are, to any extent, conceived, developed or made by Executive while employed by the Company or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, HealthPocket) (“Work Product”) belong to the Company or such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Company and perform all actions reasonably necessary or requested by the Company (whether during or after the Term) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, executing assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). This paragraph shall be construed in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto) relating to inventions made by Executive, and accordingly this Agreement is not intended and shall not be interpreted to assign to or vest in the Company any of Executive’s rights in any inventions other than those described in Section 2870 of the California Labor Code.
(h) Miscellaneous.
(i) Executive acknowledges that (x) Executive’s position is a position of trust and responsibility with access to Confidential Information of the Company, (y) the Confidential Information, and the relationship between the Company and each of its employees, Customers and Vendors, are valuable assets of the Company and may not be converted to Executive’s own use and (z) the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and will not impair or infringe upon Executive’s right to work or earn a living after Executive’s employment with the Company ends.
13
(ii) Each of the foregoing obligations shall be enforceable independent of any other obligation, and the existence of any claim or cause of action that Executive may have against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of these obligations.
(iii) Executive acknowledges that monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for the Company in the event of a breach of this Agreement and that it would be impossible for the Company to measure damages in the event of such a breach. Therefore, Executive agrees that, in addition to other rights that the Company may have at law or equity, the Company is entitled, without posting bond, to seek an injunction preventing Executive from any breach of this Agreement.
(iv) In the event of a breach or violation by Executive during the Restricted Period of any restriction in Section 5(c) or (d) of this Agreement, the Restricted Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been cured.
(v) The parties intend to provide the Company with the maximum protection possible with respect to its Customers and Vendors. The parties, however, do not intend to include a provision that contravenes the public policy of any state.

This Agreement supersedes and preempts any prior employment agreement or other understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing, signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company.
Section 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law under California law that would require or permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of California and irrespective of the fact that the parties now or at any time may be residents of or engage in activities in a different state. Executive agrees that in the event of any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement, jurisdiction and venue shall be vested and proper, and Executive hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court sitting in San Francisco, California, including a federal district court.
Section 13. Full Settlement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the payment by the Company of the benefits provided in this Agreement to Executive, in no event
16
will the Company or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, HealthPocket) be liable to Executive for damages under any claim of breach of contract as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment. In the event of any such termination, the Company shall be liable only to provide to Executive, or Executive’s heirs or beneficiaries, the benefits specified in this Agreement.
Section 14. Strict Compliance. Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right Executive or the Company may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. The waiver, whether express or implied, by either party of a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent violation of any such provision.
Section 15. Creditor Status. No benefit or promise hereunder shall be secured by any specific assets of the Company. Executive shall have only the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company in seeking satisfaction of such benefits or promises.
Section 16. Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and shall be construed accordingly. Any payments or distributions to be made to Executive under this Agreement upon a separation from service of amounts classified as “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, shall in no event be made or commence until six months after such separation from service if Executive is determined to be a specified Executive of a public company (all as determined under Section 409A). Each payment of nonqualified deferred compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Any reimbursements made pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid as soon as practicable but no later than 90 days after Executive submits evidence of such expenses to the Company (which payment date shall in no event be later than the last day of the calendar incurred). The amount of such reimbursements paid and any in-kind benefits the year following the calendar year in which the expense was provided during any calendar year shall not affect the reimbursements paid or in-kind benefits provided in any other calendar year, and the right to any such payments and benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another payment or benefit.
17
Section 17. Cooperation. Executive agrees to provide assistance to and cooperate with the Company upon its reasonable request with respect to matters within the scope of Executive’s duties and responsibilities during the Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, the Company shall, to the maximum extent coordinate or cause any such request with Executive’s other commitments and responsibilities to minimize the degree to which such request interferes with such commitments and responsibilities. The Company agrees that it will reimburse Executive for reasonable documented travel expenses (i.e., travel, meals and lodging) that Executive may incur in providing assistance to the Company hereunder.
Section 18. Non-disparagement. Executive agrees not to make any statements, written or oral, while employed by the Company and thereafter, which would be reasonably likely to disparage or damage the Company, its parents, subsidiaries or other affiliates (including, without limitation, HealthPocket) or the personal or professional reputation of any present or former employees, officers or members of the managing or directorial boards or committees of the Company or its parents, subsidiaries or other affiliates (including, without limitation, HealthPocket). The Company agrees that it will instruct each of its officers and members of its managing board not to make any disparaging communication regarding Executive, and no director, officer or employee of the Company will be authorized on the Company’s behalf to make any such disparaging communications regarding Executive.
Section 19. Recoupment. If the Company or HealthPocket is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company or HealthPocket, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, and if the Executive knowingly or grossly negligently engaged in the misconduct, or knowingly or grossly negligently failed to prevent the misconduct, or if the Executive is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under, Section 304 of the United States Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (and not otherwise exempted), the Executive shall reimburse the Company or HealthPocket, as applicable, the amount of any payment in settlement of any earned or accrued during the twelve-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United
18
States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document not in compliance with such financial reporting requirement. Such payments shall be subject to repayment to or recoupment (clawback) by the Company or HealthPocket in accordance with such policies and procedures as the Company or HealthPocket may adopt from time to time, including policies and procedures to implement applicable law (including, but not limited to, Section 954 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act), stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations.
Section 20. Survival. Any provision of this Agreement that is expressly or by implication intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive or remain in effect after the termination of this Agreement.
Section 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, anyone of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This is the Release referred to in the Employment Agreement, dated July 14, 2014, between the Company and the Executive (the “Employment Agreement”). The Executive gives this Release in consideration of the Company’s promises and covenants contained in the Employment Agreement, with respect to which this Release is an integral part.

Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq.; and provided, however, that nothing herein shall release the Company of its obligations to the Executive under the Employment Agreement or any other contractual obligations between the Company or its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates and the Executive or any indemnification obligations to the Executive under the Company’s constituent documents or federal, state or local law or otherwise. The Executive hereby waives the rights or benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
2. Release of Claims Under Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that by executing this Release, he has released and waived any and all claims he has or may have as of the date of this Release for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq. It is understood that the Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release; that he in fact has consulted a knowledgeable, competent attorney regarding this Release; that he may, before executing this Release, consider this Release for a period of 21 calendar days; and that the consideration he receives for this Release is in addition to amounts to which he was already entitled. It is further understood that this Release is not effective until the expiration of seven days after his execution of this Release and that the Executive may revoke this Release within seven days from the date of his execution hereof.
The Executive agrees that he has carefully read this Release and is signing it voluntarily. The Executive acknowledges that he has had 21 days from receipt of this Release to review it prior to signing or that, if the Executive is signing this Release prior to the expiration of such 21-day period, the Executive is waiving his right to review the Release for such full 21-day period prior to signing it. The Executive has the right to revoke this Release within seven days following the date of its execution by him. However, if the Executive revokes this Release within such seven-day period, no severance benefit will be payable to him under the Employment Agreement and he shall return to the Company any such payment received prior to that date.
THE EXECUTIVE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS RELEASE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT CONSTITUTES A GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT. THE EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS HAD A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY OR OTHER ADVISOR OF HIS CHOOSING CONCERNING HIS EXECUTION OF THIS RELEASE AND THAT HE IS SIGNING THIS RELEASE VOLUNTARILY AND WITH THE FULL INTENT OF RELEASING THE COMPANY FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS.

Section 1. Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants this Award to the Participant on the Grant Date on the terms set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, as more fully described in this Attachment A. This Award is granted under the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement.
Section 2. Terms of SAR.
(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, each SAR constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver to Participant, at the time such SAR is validly exercised, an amount, payable in the form of Shares, equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, over (ii) the Exercise Price per SAR set forth on the cover page of this Agreement (the “Spread”).
(b) Exercisability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, a SAR may be exercised only after if it has vested and become exercisable under Section 2(c) or Section 2(d)(ii), and only before it has expired or been terminated under Section 2(d)(i) or Section 2(d)(iii).
(c) Vesting, Generally.
(i) Subject to Section 2(d), the SARs shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the cover page of this Agreement.
(ii) If the Participant holds unvested SARs at the time a Change in Control occurs, the SARs shall become 100% vested, non-forfeitable and exercisable, and all restrictions thereon shall lapse, on the date of the Change in Control immediately prior to the consummation thereof.
A-1
(d) Accelerated Vesting; Termination.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2(d), all of the SARs shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, unless earlier terminated under subsection (iii) below.
(ii) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time due to Termination Upon Death, Termination For Disability, Termination Without Cause or Resignation For Good Reason, the following number of unvested SARs, shall become vested and exercisable, and all restrictions thereon shall lapse, on the Termination Date as follows:

(B) 6,500 SARs if Participant’s Termination of Service due to Termination Upon Death, Termination For Disability, Termination Without Cause or Resignation For Good Reason occurs prior to July 14, 2016; and
(C) 6,000 SARs if Participant’s Termination of Service due to Termination Upon Death, Termination For Disability, Termination Without Cause or Resignation For Good Reason occurs prior to July 14, 2017.
All other SARs that have previously vested and become exercisable prior to the Termination Date shall continue to be vested and exercisable. All SARs that have not either previously vested and become exercisable or vested and become exercisable pursuant to this clause (d)(ii) shall terminate simultaneously with the Termination of Service on the Termination Date and shall automatically be forfeited to the Company without consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause, Disability, Termination Upon Death, Termination For Disability, Termination Without Cause, Resignation For Good Reason and Termination Date shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Employment Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2014, by and between the Participant and the Company.

(iii) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service at any time under circumstances not described in Section 2(d)(ii), all of the SARs shall terminate simultaneously with the Termination of Service on the Termination Date, including to the extent that the SARs are otherwise vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date, and shall automatically be forfeited to the Company without consideration, and, if otherwise vested and exercisable, shall cease to be exercisable.
For clarity, in no event shall any SAR be exercisable after the Expiration Date set forth on the cover page of this Agreement.
(e) Transferability. The SARs, and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, shall not be assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise be subject to alienation by the Participant, other than by will or the law of descent and distribution, and any purported assignment, sale, transfer or other alienation not permitted hereunder shall be void. During the Participant’s lifetime, the SARs shall be exercisable only by the Participant.
Section 3. Exercise.
(a) When to Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may exercise his or her SARs that are then exercisable under Section 2, in whole or in part, by following the procedures set forth in this Section 3. If partially exercised, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may thereafter exercise the remaining unexercised portion of the SARs, to the extent that they are then exercisable under Section 2, by following the procedures set forth in this Section 3.
(b) Election to Exercise. To exercise the SARs, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s guardian, legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) a written notice (or notice through another previously approved method, which could include a web-based or e-mail system) which sets forth the number of SARs being
A-3
exercised, together with any additional documents as the Company may require. Each such notice must satisfy whatever then-current procedures apply to the SARs and must contain such representations, warranties and covenants as the Company requires. If someone other than the Participant exercises the SARs, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the SARs.
(c) Date of Exercise. The SARs shall be deemed to be exercised on the business day that the Company receives a fully executed and completed exercise notice. If an exercise notice is received on a day that is not a business day, or is received after 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a business day, then the SARs shall be deemed to be exercised on the first business day immediately following the day such notice is received by the Company.
(d) Settlement. Upon a valid exercise of SARs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive that number of Shares determined by dividing (i) (1) the total number of SARs then being exercised, multiplied by (2) the Spread on the date of exercise, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon exercise of SARs, and if the number of Shares otherwise issuable under Section 3(d) upon an exercise of SARs includes a fraction of a Share, then upon such exercise the Participant shall be entitled to receive (i) the number of Shares determined under Section 3(d), rounded down to the nearest whole Share, plus (ii) an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, multiplied by such fraction of a Share.
(f) Withholding Requirements. The delivery of Shares upon settlement of SARs is conditioned on the Participant making arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable the Company to satisfy all tax (or other governmental obligation) withholding requirements. In the event that there is any such withholding requirement upon an exercise of SARs, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may require, permit the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement by having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon such exercise a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. If the Committee permits the Participant to satisfy any such withholding requirement
A-4
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall remit to the Internal Revenue Service and appropriate state and local revenue agencies, for the credit of the Participant, an amount of cash withholding equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares withheld by the Company as provided above.
(g) Compliance with Law and Regulations. The SARs, their exercise and the obligation of the Company to issue Shares in settlement thereof are subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, including securities laws, to approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required, and to the rules, regulations and other requirements of the stock market or exchange upon which the Shares are then quoted, traded or listed. The Participant may not exercise a SAR if such exercise would violate any securities laws or other applicable law, rule, regulation or requirement.
Section 4. No Rights of Stockholder. A holder of a SAR, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares underlying the SAR for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement be construed to confer upon the holder of a SAR, as such, any of the rights or obligations of a stockholder of the Company, unless and until Shares are actually issued to and held of record by such holder upon settlement of the SARs following valid exercise thereof.
Section 5. Change in Control. Without limiting the Committee’s power under the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee is authorized (but not obligated) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the SARs without the need for the consent of the Participant, including, without limitation, the following (or any combination thereof):
(a) The Committee may provide for the continuation or assumption of the SARs and this Agreement by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof), including the Company if it is the surviving entity, or for the substitution of the SARs and this Agreement with a substitute award with terms comparable to the SARs and this Agreement (in each case with appropriate adjustments as to the Exercise Price and the number and type of Shares (or other securities) underlying the Award or substitute award). The determination of such appropriate adjustments and comparability shall be made by the Committee.
A-5
(b) The Committee may provide for the cancellation of all or any portion of the SARs for their Intrinsic Value (payable in the form of cash, stock, securities, other property or any combination thereof) based upon the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction. If at the time of a Change in Control such Intrinsic Value is equal to or less than zero (i.e., the Exercise Price of the SARs equals or exceeds the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction), then the Committee may provide for the cancellation of the SARs without the payment of any consideration therefor.
Section 6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications under this Agreement (other than a notice of exercise, which shall be provided in accordance with Section 3) shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person (by courier or otherwise), mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile transmission, as follows:

if to the Participant, to the address that the Participant most recently provided to the Company,

Otherwise, any such notice, request or communication shall be deemed received on the next succeeding business day in the place of receipt.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Plan and any other agreements referred to herein and therein and any attachments referred to herein or therein, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements, agreements and understandings, both oral and written, whether in term sheets, presentations or otherwise, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(c) Amendment; Waiver. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by or on behalf of the Company and the Participant, except that the Committee may amend or modify this Agreement without the Participant’s consent in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature. Any amendment or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, or any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.
(d) Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on anyone other than the Company and the Participant, and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

(g) Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without application of the conflicts of law principles thereof.
(h) No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Award evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the service of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the right that the Company or any Affiliate may have to terminate the service of such Participant.
(i) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
