The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing) after its engagement, and its resolution of the Disputed Amounts and its adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

v.The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

c.Resolution of Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the face amount of the Promissory Note will be increased by the amount of the Post Closing Adjustment.

ii.After receipt of the Settlement Statement, Seller shall have ten (10) Business days (the “CP Review Period”) to review the Settlement Statement. During the CP Review Period, Seller and its accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Buyer and/or its accountants to the extent that they relate to the Settlement Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Settlement Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Settlement Statement and to prepare a Statement of CP Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or Seller.

iii.On or prior to the last day of the CP Review Period, Seller may object to the Settlement Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of CP Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of CP Objections before the expiration of the CP Review Period, the Settlement Statement and the Contingent Payment, as the case may be, reflected in the Settlement Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of CP Objections before the expiration of the CP Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of the Statement of CP Objections (the “CP Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the CP Resolution Period, the Contingent Payment and the Settlement Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

iv.If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of CP Objections before expiration of the CP Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “CP Disputed Amounts,” with any amounts not so disputed being the “CP Undisputed Amounts”), shall be submitted for resolution to an Independent Accounting Firm, who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the CP Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Contingent Payment, as the case may be. The Parties agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and their decision for each CP Disputed Amount must be within the range of values, if any, assigned to each such item in the Settlement Statement and the Statement of CP Objections, respectively. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) Business Days (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing) after its engagement, and its resolution of the CP Disputed Amounts and its adjustments to the Contingent Payment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

v.The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Seller on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

vi.If the Contingent Payment is a positive number, the face amount of the Promissory Note will be increased by the amount of the Contingent Payment. If the Contingent Payment is a negative number, there shall be no Contingent Payment owed and no adjustment to the Promissory Note.

c.Subordination. THE CONTINGENT PAYMENT IS SUBORDINATE IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE SENIOR DEBT PURSUANT TO THE SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 3 OF THE PROMISSORY NOTE.

No material improvements constituting a part of the Leased Real Property encroach on real property owned or leased by a Person other than Seller.

No other party to any Seller IP Agreement is, to Seller’s Knowledge, in breach of or default thereunder (or is alleged to be in breach of or default thereunder).

c.Seller is the sole and exclusive legal and beneficial, and with respect to Seller IP Registrations, record, owner of all right, title and interest in and to Seller Intellectual Property, and has the valid right to use all other Intellectual Property used in or necessary for the conduct of the current Business or operations of Seller, free and clear of Encumbrances.

All employees and consultants of Seller have executed confidentiality agreements substantially in the form provided to Buyer and such confidentiality agreements are valid and binding on each employee and consultant, enforceable in accordance with its terms and of full force and effect.

During the Restricted Period, each Seller Party agrees that he, she or it shall not, directly or indirectly through another Person (including an Affiliate) (i) solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any Business Relation for purposes of acquiring or diverting their business or services from Buyer or its Affiliates or securing business or contracts related to the Business or (ii) contract with any Business Relation to provide products or services that compete, in whole or in part, with the Covered Products or the Covered Business; or (iii) hold themselves out, or market themselves, as a predecessor to Buyer or its Affiliates, except to the extent that such information is in the public domain as a result of disclosure by or through Seller or Buyer, or such information is represented as a material aspect of a resume, biographical information or public experience profile.

e.Non-Interference with Referral Partners and Vendors. During the Restricted Period, each Seller Party agrees that he, she or it shall not, directly or indirectly through another Person (including an Affiliate), take any action which is designed, intended, or might be reasonably anticipated to have the effect of discouraging any Person that is a Business Relation from maintaining the same business relationships with Buyer, its Affiliates, the Business or the Covered Business after the Closing Date as were maintained with the Buyer, its Affiliates and the Business or the Covered Business prior to the Closing Date.

f.Nondisparagement. Each of the Seller Parties agrees that he, she or it shall neither, directly or indirectly, engage in any conduct or make any statement disparaging or criticizing in any way Buyer or its Affiliates, or any of their respective personnel, nor engage in any other conduct or make any other statement that could be reasonably expected to impair the goodwill of Buyer, its Affiliates, the Business or the Covered Business or the reputation of Buyer, its Affiliates, the Business or the Covered Business, in each case, except to the extent required by applicable Law, and then only after consultation with Buyer to the extent possible.

g.Remedies. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 5.2 and that, in such event, Buyer and its Affiliates, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor, be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Section 5.2 (including the extension of the Restricted Period by a period equal to the length of the court proceedings necessary to stop such violation). Any injunction shall be available without the posting of any bond or other security and without having to demonstrate irreparable harm. In the event of an alleged breach or violation by any Seller Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Restricted Period will be tolled for such Seller Party until such alleged breach or violation is resolved.

h.Acknowledgement. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) during the Restricted Period, Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates would be irreparably damaged if such Seller Party were to solicit any Business Relation for the purpose of competing with Covered Products or the Covered Business and that any such competition by any Seller Party would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Buyer in respect of the Assumed Contracts for which money damages would be an insufficient remedy, (ii) the value of the trade secrets and other Confidential Information related to the Current Customers and the Assumed Contracts arises from the fact that such information is not generally known in the marketplace, (iii) Seller’s trade secrets and other Confidential Information will have continuing vitality throughout and beyond the Restricted Period, (iv) such Seller Party has and will have such sufficient knowledge of Seller’s trade secrets and other Confidential Information that,

if such Person were to compete with Seller during the Restricted Period, such Person would cause irreparable harm to Buyer, (v) the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.2 are in additional consideration of the agreements and covenants of Buyer and the Seller Parties under this Agreement and were a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that Buyer and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties if any Seller Party breaches the provisions set forth in this Section 5.2, and (vi) the restrictions contained in this Section 5.2, are reasonable in all respects (including, with respect to subject matter and time period) and are necessary to protect Buyer’s interest in, and the value of, the Current Customer and the Assumed Contracts (including, the goodwill inherent therein).

i.Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 5.2, a court determines that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, then the maximum period or scope reasonable under the circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and such court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period or scope permitted by law.

5.3 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange or trading market requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

5.4 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver, such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.5 Transition Services. From and after the Closing Date for a period of no less than ninety (90) days and no more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days, Seller will assist Buyer with the transition of the Current Customers, including Seller’s obligations under the Assumed Contracts, to Buyer under and pursuant to the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.

5.6 Employee Related Matters.

a.Transferred Employees. Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall make an offer of employment only to those employees of the Business as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion (the “Transferred Employees”), which Transferred Employees shall be identified on Schedule 5.6(a). Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferred Employee any right with respect to continued employment (or any particular term or condition of employment) with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, nor shall anything herein limit or interfere with Buyer’s (or any of its Affiliates’) right to terminate the employment of any Person (including any Transferred Employee) at any time and for any or no reason (subject to applicable Law), with or without cause or notice, or restrict Buyer or any of their Affiliates in the exercise of independent business judgment in modifying any terms or conditions of employment of the Transferred Employees on and after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, any employee shall be deemed to have accepted employment with the Buyer if such employee (a) appears at work on the second Business Day following the Closing Date and (b) has not given notice to the contrary to Buyer or Seller as of such date.

b.Seller’s Employees. On the Closing Date, and to the extent consistent with applicable Laws, Seller shall terminate the employment of all Transferred Employees. In connection with the termination of the Transferred Employees, Seller shall be solely responsible for any notice of termination, termination pay, severance pay, vacation pay, paid time off and all other obligations and commitments of Seller relating to the employment, termination of employment and compensation of current and former employees of Seller prior to and on the Closing Date, including any bonuses to be paid, and shall further ensure that any employee who is paid severance signs a release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer as a condition to the payment of severance. Seller shall also be responsible for the payment of any paid time off, sick leave or vacation time accruals for Transferred Employees to the extent not assumed by Buyer and not included in Working Capital.

ARTICLE VI

BOOKS AND RECORDS

From and after the Closing, subject to the reasonable confidentiality precautions of the Party whose information is being accessed, each Party will, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice from any requesting Party: (a) cause such requesting Party and such requesting Party’s Representatives to have reasonable access to the books and records of such Party related to the Assumed Contracts, and to the personnel responsible for preparing and maintaining such books and records, if available, in each case to the extent necessary to (1) defend or pursue any Action, (2) defend or pursue indemnification matters hereunder, (3) prepare or audit financial statements, (4) prepare or file Tax Returns or (5) address other Tax, accounting, financial or legal matters or respond to any investigation or other inquiry by or under the control of any Governmental Authority; (b) permit such requesting Party and such requesting Party’s Representatives to make copies of such books and records for the foregoing purposes, at such requesting Party’s expense; and (c) maintain and preserve such Party’s books and records at such Party’s expense. If requested by the other Party, the requesting Party will provide reasonable substantiation of such requesting Party’s purpose for such access to show that such access is for any of the foregoing purposes.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

The obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless a Buyer Indemnitee will terminate on the day after the end of the applicable survival period; provided, however, that any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) in writing and in compliance with the terms of Section 7.4 of this Agreement by notice from Buyer Indemnitee to the Seller Parties prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the

7.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, the Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and defend Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

7.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller Parties and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

b.any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

c.the ownership, operation or conduct of the Business on or after the Effective Time (including the Transition Services but only to the extent Seller is otherwise not indemnifying Buyer under Section 7.2(i) of this Agreement); or

7.4 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

a.The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.2 shall not exceed $4,350,000.00 (the “Cap”). The Cap shall not apply to the Excluded Losses.

b.No Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 unless the aggregate of all Losses would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $25,000.00 (the “Basket”), in which event the Seller Parties will be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.. No Seller Indemnitee will be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3 unless the aggregate of all Losses would exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the Basket in which event Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The Basket shall not apply to the Excluded Losses.

c.The Seller Parties shall have no right of contribution from any of Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any Loss for which Seller Parties are required to indemnify such Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII.

d.For purposes of this Article VII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Seller Material Adverse Effect, or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

7.5 Indemnification Procedures.

a.Third Party Claims. If any Buyer Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Buyer Indemnitee with respect to which a Seller Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, Buyer Indemnitee shall give the Seller Parties reasonably prompt written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Seller Parties of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Seller Parties forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by Buyer Indemnitee shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence of the Third Party Claim and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by Buyer Indemnitee. The Seller Parties shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to Buyer Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Seller Parties’ expense and by the Seller Parties’ own counsel, and Buyer Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that the Seller Parties shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Seller, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against Buyer Indemnitees. In the event that the Seller

Parties assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.4(b), the Seller Parties shall have the right to take such action as they deem necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of Buyer Indemnitee. Buyer Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Seller Parties’ right to control the defense of the Third Party Claim. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Seller Parties. If the Seller Parties elect not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fail to promptly notify Buyer Indemnitee in writing of their election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fail to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, Buyer Indemnitee may, subject to Section 7.4(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The Seller Parties and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the nondefending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

b.Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Seller Party shall enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Buyer Indemnitee, except as provided in this Section 7.4(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of Buyer Indemnitee and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Buyer Indemnitee from all obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Seller Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, such Seller Party shall give written notice to that effect to Buyer Indemnitee. If Buyer Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, Buyer Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of Seller as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If Buyer Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Seller Parties may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim.

c.Direct Claims. Any Action by a Buyer Indemnitee on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by Buyer Indemnitee giving the Seller Parties reasonably prompt written notice of the Direct Claim, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after Buyer Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Seller Parties of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Seller Parties forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by Buyer Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by Buyer Indemnitee. The Seller Parties shall have thirty (30) days after their receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, Buyer Indemnitee shall allow the Seller Parties and their professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and Buyer Indemnitee shall assist the Seller Parties’ investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Buyer’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Seller Parties or any of their professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Seller Parties do not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Seller Parties shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case Buyer Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to Buyer Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

7.6 Payments.

a.From and after the Closing (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII), any Losses of the Buyer Indemnitees for which the Seller Parties are liable under this Agreement will be paid first by reducing the outstanding principal amount and any accrued interest on the Promissory Note by the amount of such Losses, as finally agreed to by the Seller Parties or finally adjudicated as payable pursuant to this Article VII.

b.To the extent there is a Loss to which Seller is obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees and the Promissory Note, including all accrued interest, has either been paid or been reduced to zero in accordance with Section 7.5(a), the Seller Parties shall satisfy their obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such acceptance or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such Losses. The Parties agree that, should the Seller Parties not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365/366 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

c.Notwithstanding the above, if a Buyer Indemnitee has delivered notice of a claim for indemnification in good faith pursuant to Section 7.4 in respect of Losses and such claim has not been finally resolved or agreed to on or before any required payment date under the Promissory Note, the failure of Buyer to make a required payment of principal in the amount and to the extent of the amount of Losses alleged in good faith in such claim for indemnification when due will not constitute an event of default under the Promissory Note.

7.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

7.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller Parties, and Buyer Indemnitees’ right to indemnification under this Article VII, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer Indemnitees (including by any of their Representatives) or by reason of the fact that Buyer Indemnitees or any of their Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

7.9 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 8.11, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from Fraud on the part of a party to this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief.

ARTICLE VIII
