(c) Exchange Procedures. The Company shall cause to be delivered, promptly, and in any event within five Business Days prior to the proposed Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, other than Certificates representing shares or Book-Entry Shares to be cancelled or retired pursuant to Section 2.5(a), a letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit D (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and instructions for use in surrendering Certificates, to the extent the relevant shares are certificated, to the Paying Agent in exchange for consideration as specified and allocated in Section 2.5(c). Upon delivery to the Paying Agent of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal with a Certificate, to the extent the relevant shares are certificated, for cancellation or an affidavit of loss relating to a certificate, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall receive in exchange therefor, subject to the next sentence, the applicable portion of the Closing Consideration as set forth on the Spreadsheet into which the shares formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted in accordance with Section 2.5(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon the surrender of any Certificate. If payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered or in whose name Book-Entry Shares are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer or that transfer instructions in the Letter of Transmittal are completed in a form reasonably acceptable to the Paying Agent, as applicable, and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6(c), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares and Certificates representing any shares of Company Capital Stock to be cancelled or retired pursuant to Section 2.5(a)) and each Book-Entry Share (other than Book-Entry Shares representing Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, upon such surrender, the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Capital Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or as Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.5(c). None of the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party to this Agreement shall be liable to a former stockholder of the Company for any cash or interest delivered to a public official pursuant

NAI-1503806643v11

to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for 12 months after the Effective Time shall be repaid to Parent (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all such funds). Thereafter, Persons who prior to the Merger held shares of Company Capital Stock shall look only to the Surviving Corporation or Parent (subject to the terms of this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) with respect to any consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form acceptable to the Paying Agent and Parent) of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the amount of cash, without interest, that such Person would have been entitled to receive had such Person surrendered such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.6(c). Parent or the Paying Agent may in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide to Parent an indemnity agreement against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.7 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if required by Delaware Law, but only to the extent required thereby, shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders of such shares of Company Capital Stock, who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with Delaware Law (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be exchangeable for the right to receive the consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(c), and holders of such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law, unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal and payment under Delaware Law. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such shares of Company Capital Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(c), in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (1) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other related instruments received by the Company and (2) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demand.

Section 2.8 Company Options.

(a) Each Company Option that remains outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether granted under the Company Stock Plan or otherwise, will, at the Effective Time, become fully vested and then be cancelled and such holder

NAI-1503806643v11

of Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive, with respect to In-Money Options, the following amounts of cash, without interest:

(1) the difference of (A) the product of (x) the Nominal Per Share Common Consideration multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-Money Option minus (B) the product of (1) the Holdback Pro Rata Portion attributable to such In-Money Option multiplied by (2) the Holdback Amount minus (C) in the case of Escrow Participants, the product of (1) the Escrow Pro Rata Portion attributable to such In-Money Option multiplied by (2) the sum of (x) the Regular Indemnification Escrow Amount, (y) the Special Indemnification Escrow Amount, and (z) the Representative’s Expense Amount minus (D) the aggregate exercise price for the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option;

(2) in accordance with Section 2.10, the product of (A) any Post-Closing Addition multiplied by (B) the Holdback Pro Rata Portion attributable to such In-Money Option; and

(3) for Escrow Participants, from time to time in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 7.4 or Section 9.13, the product of (A) the aggregate amount payable pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and Section 7.4 or Section 9.13 multiplied by (B) the Escrow Pro Rata Portion attributable to such In-Money Option.

(b) The Company will take all actions necessary to ensure that all Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist at the Effective Time, and that the holders of Company Options will have no rights, title, interest or claims in or to any Company Capital Stock, or, except as expressly set forth in Section 2.8(a), any other consideration.

(c) Parent will cause all cash amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) to be deposited with the Company on behalf of the holders of In-Money Options for payment to them. The Surviving Corporation shall distribute all such amounts (subject to applicable Tax withholding) to the holders of In-Money Options. Any consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(3) with respect to In-Money Options held by Escrow Participants will, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, only be paid in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A) or in a manner exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code in reliance upon Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, all Out-of-Money Options shall be cancelled and shall not have any further rights with respect to such Out-of-Money Options (including the right to receive any consideration in respect thereof).

Section 2.9 Tax Withholding. The Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Paying Agent each shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Options such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law (including any applicable withholding from the consideration for Company Options that are in the nature of compensation and processed through the payroll system of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the

NAI-1503806643v11

Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall notify all holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Options from whom funds are so withheld of the respective amounts of such withholding, except to the extent such amounts are set forth on the Spreadsheet. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the relevant Governmental Authority by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock and Company Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

Section 2.10 Holdback; Adjustments to Merger Consideration.

(a) Holdback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent shall withhold from the Estimated Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement and retain an amount in cash in available funds equal to $2,000,000 (the “Holdback Amount,”) to secure the adjustment obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.10. The Holdback Amount shall be held by Parent and disbursed by it solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Estimated Closing Statement. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to Parent (i) a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (A) the Company’s good faith estimate of Working Capital, as calculated consistent with the Example Working Capital Statement attached hereto as Schedule 2.10 (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (B) the Estimated Closing Cash, (C) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and (D) the Estimated Transaction Expenses and (ii) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing, prepared in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the Current Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”).

(c) Closing Statement. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent may, at its option, prepare and deliver to the Representative, a calculation of Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Statement”) and a copy of the Estimated Closing Statement indicating those line items that are Parent disputes and accompanied by Parent’s calculation of each such line item that is in dispute, together with such schedules and data setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of Parent’s disputes. All line items that are not disputed will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes under this Agreement. If Parent elects not to prepare a Closing Statement, then the Estimated Closing Statement will be final, binding and complete for all purposes of this Agreement. Following delivery of the Closing Statement, Parent will provide the Representative with reasonable access to the financial records of the Company, solely for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Working Capital will be calculated in accordance with the following hierarchy: (i) this Agreement (including Schedule 2.10 to this Agreement) and (ii) with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, classifications, judgments and estimation methodology consistent with those used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.

(d) Determination of Final Working Capital, Final Closing Cash, Final Closing Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses. If the Representative disagrees in whole or in part with the Closing Statement, then within 30 days after its receipt of the Closing

NAI-1503806643v11

Statement, it will notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of any such disagreement. To be effective, any such Notice of Disagreement must include a copy of the Closing Statement indicating those line items that are in dispute (the “Disputed Line Items”) and be accompanied by the Representative’s calculation of each of the Disputed Line Items and the Representative’s revised Closing Statement setting forth its determination of the Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses. To the extent the Representative provides a Notice of Disagreement within such 30-day period, all items that are not Disputed Line Items will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Representative does not provide a Notice of Disagreement within such 30-day period, the Representative will be deemed to have accepted in full the Closing Statement as prepared by Parent, which will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. If any effective Notice of Disagreement is provided, Parent and the Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 days following the date of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement (or such longer period as they may mutually agree in writing) to resolve any Disputed Line Items. During such 30-day period, Parent and the Representative will provide each other with access to the working papers, schedules and calculations of the other used in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Notice of Disagreement and the determination of the Working Capital and Disputed Line Items. If, at the end of such period, Parent and the Representative are unable to resolve such Disputed Line Items, then such Disputed Line Items will be referred to Ernst & Young (the “Settlement Accountant”). Parent and the Representative will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Settlement Accountant under this ‎Section 2.10. The Settlement Accountant will be directed to determine as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 60 days from the date that the dispute is submitted to it) the Disputed Line Items; provided that the amount determined by the Settlement Accountant for each Disputed Line Item may not be greater than the highest amount proposed by Parent and the Representative nor less than the lowest amount proposed by Parent and the Representative. Parent and the Representative will each furnish to the Settlement Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Line Items, and will answer questions as the Settlement Accountant may reasonably request. The determination of the Settlement Accountant will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to this Agreement and on the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options. The amount determined to be the Working Capital pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including, as applicable, this ‎Section 2.10(d)) will constitute the “Final Working Capital.” The amount determined to be the Closing Cash pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including, as applicable, this ‎Section 2.10(d)) will constitute the “Final Closing Cash.” The amount determined to be the Closing Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including, as applicable, this ‎Section 2.10(d)) will constitute the “Final Closing Indebtedness.” The amount determined to be the Transaction Expenses pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including, as applicable, this ‎Section 2.10(d)) will constitute the “Final Transaction Expenses.” The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, as revised to reflect the Final Working Capital, Final Closing Cash, Final Closing Indebtedness and Final Transaction Expenses, is the “Closing Balance Sheet.”

(e) Settlement Accountant Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant will be allocated between Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the

NAI-1503806643v11

holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options) based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Parent or the Representative, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Parent and the Representative.

(f) Post-Closing Adjustments; Exclusive Remedy. At the times and in the manner specified in this Section 2.10, the Merger Consideration shall be:

(1) reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Estimated Closing Cash exceeds the Final Closing Cash;

(2) increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Estimated Closing Cash is less than the Final Closing Cash;

(3) reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Final Working Capital;

(4) increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Final Working Capital;

(5) reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Final Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Indebtedness;

(6) increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Final Closing Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness;

(7) reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Final Transaction Expenses exceeds the Estimated Transaction Expenses; and

(8) increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent the Final Transaction Expenses is less than the Estimated Transaction Expenses.

The aggregate net reduction in or increase to the Merger Consideration referred to in this Section 2.10(f) are hereafter referred to as either the “Post-Closing Reduction” or “Post-Closing Addition”, as applicable. From and after the date of determination of the foregoing adjustments (i) “Merger Consideration” shall mean the Merger Consideration as of the Closing Date, as adjusted by the Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition, as applicable; (ii) “Closing Per Share Common Consideration” shall mean the Closing Per Share Common Consideration as of the Closing Date, as adjusted by the Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition; and (iii) “Closing Per Share Preferred Consideration” shall mean the Closing Per Share Preferred Consideration as of the Closing Date, as adjusted by the Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition, as applicable.

(g) Upon the determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, Parent and the Representative shall promptly calculate whether there is a Post-Closing Reduction or Post-Closing Addition required in accordance with Section 2.10(f) and shall notify the Paying Agent in writing of any distributions to be made on account thereof.

(1) If any Post-Closing Reduction is required, then Parent shall be entitled to retain from the Holdback Amount an amount equal to such Post-Closing Reduction. If

NAI-1503806643v11

the Post-Closing Reduction is greater than the Holdback Amount, then Parent and the Representative shall jointly instruct Paying Agent to first disburse from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Amount and second, at Parent’s option, from the Special Indemnification Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Parent the amount by which the Post-Closing Reduction is greater than Holdback Amount, provided that Parent and the Company agree that the Holdback Amount, the Regular Indemnification Escrow Amount, and the Special Indemnification Escrow Amount shall not be the sole source of Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s right to Post-Closing Reduction, and that the Escrow Participants shall be severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Escrow Pro Rata Portion) liable for any shortfall in excess of amounts recoverable from the Holdback Amount and the Regular Indemnification Escrow Amount.

(2) If any Post-Closing Addition is required, then within five Business Days after the determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, Parent shall deliver such Post-Closing Addition in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Paying Agent for distribution to holders of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.6‎ and to holders of Company Options in accordance with ‎Section 2.8.

(h) Within five Business Days after the determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, Parent shall distribute any positive difference of the Holdback Amount minus the Post-Closing Reduction (such difference, the “Distributable Holdback”) as follows:

(1) An amount equal to the product of (A) the aggregate percentage set forth in Schedule 2.10(h) and (B) the Distributable Holdback (the “Holdback Bonus Amount”) shall be distributed to the Surviving Corporation. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, distribute through payroll the Holdback Bonus Amount (less applicable payroll and withholding Taxes) to the persons identified in Schedule 2.10(h) pro rata in accordance with the percentages set forth in Schedule 2.10(h).

(2) After accounting for the deduction of the Holdback Bonus Amount, the remaining portion of the Distributable Holdback shall be distributed (i) to the Paying Agent for payment to the holders of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 2.6 and (ii) to the Company to be distributed to the holders of Company Options in accordance with Section 2.8, in each case in accordance with the Holdback Pro Rata Portion set forth in the Spreadsheet.

Section 2.11 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 2.12 Loans Outstanding. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article II to the contrary, all payments due to a holder of Company Capital Stock or Company Options as provided in Section 2.5 and Section 2.8 shall be offset by an amount equal to the amount of the

NAI-1503806643v11

outstanding principal and unpaid interest balance of the Loans Outstanding owed by such Person to the Company in satisfaction of such amounts, as set forth in the Spreadsheet.

The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(b) shall survive the Effective Time and expire on the day of the month that is 15 months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties in Section 3.9 (Tax Matters), shall survive the Effective Time until 60 days following the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) and (b) Fundamental Representations shall survive the Effective Time for five years. The covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement that are to be performed before the Closing shall expire on the 90th day after the Closing Date. No right to indemnification under this Article VII in respect of any claim based upon any breach of or inaccuracy in a representation, warranty, or covenant that is set forth in a Claim Certificate delivered to the Representative and the Escrow Agent prior to the Expiration Date (in respect of breaches of Company representations or warranties) or prior to the applicable expiration date of such covenant, if any, shall be affected by the expiration of such representation or warranty or covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, all applicable statutes of limitations or other claims periods set forth in Section 7.1 with respect to claims for Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Article VII shall be shortened or lengthened to the applicable claims periods described herein and all applicable claims periods and survival periods expressly set forth in Section 7.1 shall be definitive, and shall not be modified or superseded by any statutory or other limitations period. No Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VII unless Parent shall have delivered to the Representative and the Escrow Agent a Claim Certificate pursuant to Section 7.5 on or before the applicable Expiration Date, if any, set forth in this Section 7.1.

Section 7.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 7.3 and the other limitations set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, the Escrow Participants will severally and not jointly (except jointly and severally out of amounts in the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund and the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund) indemnify Parent, its Subsidiaries including the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, and employees (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses sustained by them that arise out of or result from:

(1) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement and in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(b),

(2) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement,

(3) any claim asserted by any current, former or alleged securityholder (including any holder of Company Options) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether

NAI-1503806643v11

against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative of any of the foregoing) (i) relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) alleging any ownership of or interest in any shares or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is not specifically disclosed in the Spreadsheet or (iii) that is in any way inconsistent with, or that involves an allegation of facts inconsistent with, any of the information set forth in Section 3.3, in Section 3.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or in the Spreadsheet,

(4) the exercise by any holder of Company Capital Stock of appraisal rights under applicable Law, including any payment made with respect to any Dissenting Share to the extent that such payment exceeds the value of the amount that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Article II upon the exchange of such Dissenting Share,

(5) any Fraud by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement,

(6) any Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities,

(7) the matters set forth in Schedule 7.2(a)(7) (the “Qualified Matters”) (in the case of amounts described in this clause (7), to the extent of amounts available in the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund with respect thereto);

(8) the matters described in Schedule 7.2(a)(8) (in the case of amounts described in this clause (8), to the extent of amounts available in the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund with respect thereto); and

(9) the matters described in Schedule 7.2(a)(9) (in the case of amounts described in this clause (9), to the extent of amounts available in the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund and Special Indemnification Escrow Fund with respect thereto).

Section 7.3 Limitations on Indemnification; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) The Indemnified Persons may not recover any Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2(a)(1) (except for any claims with respect to any Fundamental Representations) unless and until they have sustained Indemnifiable Losses in an aggregate amount greater than $500,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold Amount”). Once the Indemnification Threshold Amount has been exceeded with respect to Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2(a)(1) (except for any claims with respect to any Fundamental Representations), the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover all Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold Amount, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VII. For purposes of the preceding sentences of this Section 7.3(a), in each set of events or circumstances where an Indemnifiable Loss is less than $5,000, such Indemnifiable Loss shall not be considered in determining whether the Indemnified Persons have sustained Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold Amount. In determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred, and in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses in respect of the failure breach of any representation or warranty to be true and correct as of any particular date, any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification limiting the scope of such

NAI-1503806643v11

representation or warranty shall be disregarded. The aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses for which the Escrow Participants shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(1) shall not exceed $850,000 (in each case except for any claims with respect to any Fundamental Representations).

(b) The Indemnified Persons’ recovery for any and all Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2(a)(1), other than for Indemnifiable Losses that arise out of (i) any breach of the Fundamental Representations or (ii) any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.23 to the extent such breach concerns to the Company’s operations outside of the United States, shall be limited to recovery from (1) first, the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund (to the extent of the retention under the R&W Policy), (2) second, the R&W Policy, to the extent recovered thereunder, and (3) third, to the extent such Indemnifiable Losses exceed the amount recovered from (assuming compliance with Section 5.13), or are not covered (including by operation of the retention thereunder) under, the R&W Policy, again from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund.

(c) The Indemnified Persons’ recovery for any and all Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2(a)(2) and Section 7.2(a)(6) shall be limited to recovery from (1) first, the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund (to the extent of the retention under the R&W Policy), (2) second, the R&W Policy, to the extent recovered thereunder, (3) third, to the extent such Indemnifiable Losses exceed the amount recovered from, or are not covered (including by operation of the retention thereunder) under, the R&W Policy, again from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, and (4) fourth, if such Indemnifiable Losses exceed amounts recovered from (assuming compliance with Section 5.13) the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund and the R&W Policy, then from each former holder of Company Capital Stock and Company Options who is an Escrow Participant of its Escrow Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnifiable Losses that exceed the amounts actually recovered under the R&W Policy or from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, up to the amount of Merger Consideration actually received by such former holder (including any amounts paid to an Escrow Participant pursuant to (A) Section 2.10(h) and (B) the Escrow Agreement).

(d) The Indemnified Persons’ recovery for any and all Indemnifiable Losses under (i) Section 7.2(a)(1) that arise out of any Fundamental Representations, or (ii) Section 7.2(a)(3) through Section 7.2(a)(5) shall be from (1) first, the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund (to the extent of the retention under the R&W Policy); (2) second, the R&W Policy, to the extent recovered thereunder, provided that, for the first three years following the Closing Date, the Indemnified Persons shall not be required to recover from the R&W Policy to the extent that such recovery would result in reduction of the remaining aggregate coverage under the R&W Policy available for Indemnifiable Losses not arising under the matters set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.3(d) (including as the result of prior or pending claims) below $5,000,000; (3) third, to the extent such Indemnifiable Losses exceed the amount recovered from, or are not covered (including by operation of the retention thereunder) under, the R&W Policy, again from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund; and (4) fourth, if such Indemnifiable Losses exceed amounts recovered from (assuming compliance with Section 5.13) the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund and under the R&W Policy, then from each former holder of Company Capital Stock and Company Options who is an Escrow Participant of its Escrow Pro Rata Portion of the Indemnifiable Losses that exceed the amounts actually recovered

NAI-1503806643v11

under the R&W Policy and from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, up to the amount of Merger Consideration actually received by such former holder (including any amounts paid to an Escrow Participant pursuant to (A) Section 2.10(h) and (B) the Escrow Agreement).

(e) The Indemnified Persons’ recovery for any and all Indemnifiable Losses which are described in or arise pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(7) or Section 7.2(a)(8) shall be limited to recovery from the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund (regardless of whether such Indemnifiable Losses may be described in or arise pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 7.2(a)(7) or Section 7.2(a)(8)).

(f) The Indemnified Person’s recovery for any and all Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2(a)(9) shall be limited to recovery from (1) first, the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund (to the extent of the retention under the R&W Policy) and (2) second, if such Indemnifiable Losses exceed amounts recoverable from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, then from the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, an Indemnified Person may recover without limitation from any holder of Company Capital Stock and Company Options with respect to claims for Fraud committed by such Person.

(h) Except for (i) claims for Fraud, (ii) the right to specific performance or injunctive relief as contemplated by Section 9.10, (iii) the right to pursue remedies under any other Contract entered into by a Person in connection with this Agreement in accordance with such Contract or (iv) the disputes to be resolved under Section 2.10, the remedies provided in this Article VII and recovery under the R&W Policy shall, after the Closing, be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Indemnified Persons for any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of this Agreement, including in respect of breaches of representations and warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Other than as provided in this Agreement (including claims in connection with Fraud) or pursuant to a Letter of Transmittal or a Joinder and Release Agreement, no Person who before the Effective Time was a holder of Company Capital Stock or Company Options or was a director, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any liability or obligation with respect to this Agreement or any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.

(i) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties shall treat any indemnification payments made hereunder as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration as specified in Section 2.5(c) for accounting and tax purposes.

(j) Indemnifiable Losses for which any of the Indemnified Persons are entitled to recovery shall be reduced by (1) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by the Indemnified Persons with respect to such Indemnifiable Losses (other than from the R&W Policy), in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, Taxes, expenses, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries, (2) the amount of any Tax Benefits realized by the Indemnified Persons in the taxable year in which the Indemnifiable Losses are incurred or the following taxable year that are attributable to

NAI-1503806643v11

any deduction, loss, credit or other Tax Benefit resulting directly from such Indemnifiable Losses, and (3) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Persons from any third party with respect to such Indemnifiable Losses (other than those covered by clause (1) of this sentence); provided, however, that none of the Indemnified Persons shall have any obligation to (A) seek recovery against any insurance policies (other than from the R&W Policy as provided herein) or to enforce such third party contractual indemnification or contribution provisions, or (B) obtain insurance coverage or other third party protection with respect to any particular matter. To the extent that any amounts are recovered by an Indemnified Person following the payment of any Indemnifiable Losses that would have reduced the amount of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the immediately preceding sentence, such recovered amounts shall be promptly delivered to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Escrow Participants or, to the extent such amounts have been distributed from escrow, back to such escrow. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pursue recovery from the D&O Tail Policy for any and all claims arising from the Surviving Corporation’s indemnification obligations with respect to the Company Indemnified Parties.

(k) The parties acknowledge the applicability of the common law duty to mitigate Indemnifiable Losses.

(l) No Indemnified Person shall be entitled to double recovery for any adjustments to the Merger Consideration provided for hereunder or for any Indemnifiable Losses even though such Indemnifiable Losses may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement. No Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent such Indemnifiable Losses were taken into account in the calculation of, and reduced the value of components (E), (F), (G), and (H) of the Merger Consideration.

(m) In no event shall any Indemnified Person be entitled to recover under this Article VII for any of the following:

(1) Any Indemnifiable Losses that, at the time the Claims Certificate relating to such Indemnifiable Losses is delivered to the Representative, are (A) contingent, unless and solely to the extent that such Indemnifiable Losses cease to be contingent within 90 days of the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1 for the representation, warranty or covenant that is the basis for the claim for Indemnifiable Losses, or (B) otherwise not capable of being quantified, unless and solely to the extent that such Indemnifiable Losses become capable of being quantified;

(2) to the extent that any amount of the Indemnifiable Losses is reflected as a liability in the Closing Balance Sheet and/or was taken into account in the calculation of the Merger Consideration by reason of the final determination of the Final Closing Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses, or the Final Working Capital (or estimates thereof in the event that Parent does not deliver a Closing Statement to the Representative in accordance with Section 2.10(c)).

NAI-1503806643v11

Section 7.4 Escrow Claims Periods. The period during which claims for indemnification from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund may be initiated (the “Claims Period”) shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on the applicable date provided in Section 7.1. The period during which claims for which indemnification from the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund may be initiated shall commence on the Effective Time and terminate on the later of (a) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (b) the date upon which all claims relating to the Qualified Matters are finally settled (such date, the “Special Claims Period Expiration Date”).

(a) On the Expiration Date, the cash held in the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, less amounts necessary in the reasonable judgment of Parent to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Losses specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Expiration Date claiming recovery from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund (such amount to be either (a) set forth in a certificate signed by an officer of Parent and delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Expiration Date, or (b) if no such certificate is delivered, the aggregate amounts set forth in any unresolved or unsettled claims for Indemnifiable Losses set forth in Claim Certificates delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Expiration Date claiming recovery from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund), shall be released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The funds remaining in the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund following the Expiration Date shall remain in the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund until all such claims for Indemnifiable Losses have been resolved or satisfied, whereupon, any remaining portion of the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(b) If, prior to the Special Claims Period Expiration Date, all claims related to the Qualified Matters are settled, then an amount equal to (i) $2,800,000 minus (ii) the aggregate settlement amount of the Qualified Matters (together with attendant costs and expenses) shall be released from the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the aggregate amount of such settlement (together with attendant costs and expenses) is less than $874,000, then (i) Parent shall promptly deposit into the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund an amount equal to (X) $874,000 less (Y) the aggregate amount of such settlement and attendant costs and expenses (the “Additional Released Amount”) and (ii) the Additional Released Amount shall also be released from the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(c) On the Special Claims Period Expiration Date, the remaining cash held in the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund, less amounts necessary to satisfy any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any settlement agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Qualified Matters and less amounts necessary in the reasonable judgment of Parent to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Losses specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Special Claims Period Expiration Date (such amount to be either (a) set forth in a certificate signed by an officer of Parent and delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Special Claims Period Expiration Date, or (b) if no such certificate is delivered, the aggregate amounts set forth in any unresolved or unsettled claims for Indemnifiable Losses set forth in Claim Certificates delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the Special Claims Period Expiration Date claiming recovery from the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund), shall be released in accordance with

NAI-1503806643v11

the Escrow Agreement. The funds remaining in the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund following the Special Claims Expiration Date shall remain in the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund until all such claims for Indemnifiable Losses have been resolved or satisfied, whereupon, any remaining portion of the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 7.5 Claims Procedure. Reasonably promptly after Parent becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim (including a Third-Party Claim) that might result in an Indemnifiable Loss that the Indemnified Persons have under Section 7.2 and may be recoverable from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund or Escrow Participants, Parent shall deliver to the Representative and the Escrow Agent a certificate signed by an officer of Parent (a “Claim Certificate”):

(a) stating that an Indemnified Person has sustained, or in good faith anticipates that it may sustain, Indemnifiable Losses;

(b) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses if known (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Losses not yet sustained, may be the maximum amount in good faith anticipated to be incurred, paid or properly accrued);

(c) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Indemnifiable Losses included in the amount so stated (to the extent reasonably available to such Indemnified Person), the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related and the Section whose breach gives rise to such Indemnifiable Losses; and

(d) specifying whether the Indemnified Person seeks recovery from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund and/or the Escrow Participants.

No delay in or failure to give a Claim Certificate (or any update or amendment thereto after conducting discovery regarding the underlying facts and circumstances set forth therein) by Parent to the Representative or the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 7.5 will adversely affect any of the rights or remedies that Parent has under this Agreement, except and to the extent that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced the Escrow Participants and except (A) to the extent that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced the Escrow Participants, (B) if Parent seeks recovery from the Regular Indemnification Fund but has failed to deliver the Claim Certificate to the Representative prior to the Expiration Date, or (C) if Parent seeks recovery from the Special Indemnification Fund but has failed to deliver the Claim Certificate to the Representative prior to the Special Claims Period Expiration Date.

Section 7.6 Objections to Claims. The Representative may object to any claim set forth in such Claim Certificate by delivering written notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent of the Representative’s objection (an “Objection Notice”). If an Objection Notice is not delivered by the Representative to Parent within 30 days after delivery by Parent of the Claim Certificate (the “Objection Period”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Representative that the Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2 for the full amount of the Indemnifiable Losses set forth in the Claim Certificate (including any

NAI-1503806643v11

update or amendment thereto after conducting discovery regarding the underlying facts and circumstances set forth therein).

Section 7.7 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) If the Representative shall deliver an Objection Notice, Parent shall have 30 days after such delivery to respond in a written statement to such objection.

(b) If after such 30-day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith for 30 days thereafter to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and within 150 days after delivery of an Objection Notice, Parent shall have the option of submitting the dispute regarding such claims to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with ‎Section 9.11 within 150 days after the delivery of the Objection Notice; it being understood that, if no such agreement can be reached and Parent fails to submit the dispute regarding such claims to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with ‎Section 9.11 within such 150-day period, then the Claim Certificate and all claims for Indemnifiable Losses thereunder shall be deemed to be withdrawn by Parent and Parent shall not thereafter assert any such claims arising from the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claims asserted in the Claim Certificate.

Section 7.8 Payment of Claims.

(a) If no Objection Notice is delivered by the Representative within the Objection Period, or if an Objection Notice is delivered by the Representative within the Objection Period, but such Objection Notice is only with respect to a portion of the Indemnifiable Losses stated in the applicable Claim Certificate, then on the 31st day following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Claim Certificate, (i) if applicable, the Escrow Agent shall release to Parent as soon as practicable out of the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund or Special Indemnification Fund, as applicable, to the extent cash remains therein, and (ii) if applicable, the Escrow Participants severally shall pay to Parent, an amount of cash equal to their respective Escrow Pro Rata Portions of (1) the amount of the Indemnifiable Losses set forth in the Claim Certificate, if no Objection Notice was delivered by the Representative, or (2) the amount of the portion of the Indemnifiable Losses set forth in such Claim Certificate to which no objection was made, if an Objection Notice was delivered by the Representative, except that, to the extent that such Indemnifiable Losses have not then been sustained by such Indemnified Person, Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) shall not be so entitled to receive, and the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Participants shall not deliver funds in respect thereof unless and until such Indemnifiable Losses are actually sustained by such Indemnified Person.

(b) If an Objection Notice is delivered by the Representative within the Objection Period and an agreement between the Representative and Parent is reached in accordance with Section 7.7(b), the Representative and Parent each shall execute a memorandum setting forth their agreement and furnish it to the Escrow Agent (if applicable). The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall distribute any cash then

NAI-1503806643v11

remaining in the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund or the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund, as applicable, in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 7.9 Third-Party Claims. If Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) which Parent believes may result in a claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 7.2(a)(1) through Section 7.2(a)(9) by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Parent shall promptly notify the Representative of such Third-Party Claim. For purposes of this Section 7.9, the Qualified Matters shall constitute a Third-Party Claim.

(a) If Parent or its Subsidiaries shall determine to conduct the investigation, defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim, then the Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Third Party Claim relating to the Qualified Matters which the parties agree will be controlled by Parent) to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Representative does not adversely affect any privilege relating to the Indemnified Person (provided, that Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Representative in a manner that would not adversely affect such privilege, including by entering into customary joint defense agreements or similar arrangements with the Representative with respect thereto), and the Indemnified Person shall provide the Representative the opportunity to consult with and participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third-Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third-Party Claim, all at the sole expense of the Escrow Participants. Subject to Section 7.9(c) in the case of the Qualified Matters, no settlement of any such Third-Party Claim with any third party claimant shall be determinative of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses relating to such matter, except with the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Representative shall have objected within 30 days after written request for such consent by the Indemnified Person. If the Representative consents to any such settlement, neither the Representative nor any Persons who held Company Capital Stock or Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time, in their capacity as such holders, shall have any power or authority to object to the amount or validity of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person for indemnity with respect to such settlement.

(b) If Parent does not assume the defense of such claim pursuant to Section 7.9(a), Representative shall determine and conduct the investigation, defense or settlement of such claim. The fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Representative shall be paid out of the Representative Expense Fund or by the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options in accordance with Section 9.13. Parent shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Representative. The Representative shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless Parent shall have objected within 30 days after written request for such consent by the Representative).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall not enter into a settlement of any Third Party Claim relating to the Qualified Matters without the prior written consent of the Representative (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if:

(i) the aggregate amount of such settlement exceeds $3,700,000 and (ii) such settlement is not confirmed by Deloitte in writing to be, under the totality of the circumstances, reasonable.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company;

(b) by either the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, by written notice to the other party if any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such matters shall have issued a Governmental Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and unappealable, except that the terms of this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party unless such party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to oppose any such Governmental Order or to have such Governmental Order vacated or made inapplicable to the Merger or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement to which such Governmental Order relates;

(c) by either the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, by written notice to the other party if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on October 24, 2018 (the “Outside Date”), if the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations to Closing under Article VI have not been satisfied by the other party or waived by the terminating party by such date other than conditions pertaining to covenants to be performed as part of effectuating the Closing; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose breach of a representation or warranty or covenant made under this Agreement by such party results in the failure of any condition set forth in Article VI to be fulfilled or satisfied on or before such date; provided, further, that if on the Outside Date the authorizations of, or expirations of waiting periods imposed by, the GWB have not occurred or been obtained, but all other conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions shall be capable of being satisfied), the Outside Date shall be extended by an additional 60 days until December 23, 2018, which extended date shall thereafter be considered the Outside Date (and neither Parent nor the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) until such extended Outside Date); and

(d) by either the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other party if the other has committed a breach of (i) any of its representations or warranties under Article III or Article IV, as applicable, or (ii) any of its covenants under Article V, as applicable, and (A) has not cured such breach within 10 Business Days after the party seeking to terminate this Agreement has given the other party written notice of such breach and its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) (provided, however, that no such cure period shall be available or applicable to any such breach which by its nature cannot be cured) and (B) if not cured on or prior to the

NAI-1503806643v11

Closing Date, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI to be fulfilled or satisfied; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to a party if such party is at that time in material breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect whatsoever and there shall be no liability on the part of any party to this Agreement or any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates, except that nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any party to this Agreement from any Liability resulting from or arising out of any Fraud or intentional breach of any agreement or covenant hereunder that occurred prior to the termination of this Agreement and that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of Section 5.4, this Section 8.2 and Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether in accordance with Section 8.1 or otherwise.

NAI-1503806643v11

The parties acknowledge and agree that Parent will file an 8-k and press release regarding the transaction completed hereby following the execution of this Agreement; Parent will provide such 8-K and press release for the Company’s review and include any reasonable comments thereto.

Section 9.4 Interpretation. Except to the extent that the context otherwise requires:

(b) the table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement;

(c) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” (or similar terms) are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

(d) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement;

(j) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns;

(k) unless indicated otherwise, mathematical calculations contemplated hereby will be made to the maximum number of significant digits stored and used in

(m) accounting terms not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to them in accordance with GAAP;

(q) no parol evidence will be introduced in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement unless the ambiguity or uncertainty in issue is plainly discernible from a reading of this Agreement without consideration of any extrinsic evidence;

(r) although the same or similar subject matters may be addressed in different provisions of this Agreement, the parties intend that, except as reasonably apparent on the face of the Agreement or as expressly provided in this Agreement, each such provision will be read separately, be given independent significance and not be construed as limiting any other provision of this Agreement (whether or not more general or more specific in scope, substance or content); and

(s) No reference to or disclosure of any item or other matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material, outside the ordinary course of business or required to be referred to or disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement, law or regulation shall be construed as admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

NAI-1503806643v11

Section 9.5 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other certificate, instrument or other document referred to in this Agreement, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or any other such certificate, instrument or other document referred to in this Agreement, and the parties to this Agreement shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and enforceable terms or provisions into this Agreement which, insofar as practicable, implement the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Any term or provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part, degree or within certain jurisdictions shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable to the extent consistent with the intent of the parties as reflected by this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party waives any term or provision of Law which renders any term or provision of this Agreement to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits to this Agreement), the Escrow Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”) constitute the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors or assigns of Parent and the Representative, including any successor to, or assignee of, all or substantially all of the business and assets of Parent or the Representative, respectively. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties to this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, and any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable provided, however, that Parent may make a collateral assignment of this Agreement to its lenders. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in ‎Section 5.7 and Article VII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.9 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by Parent, the Company and Representative. Any failure of the parties to this Agreement to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver. No delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver

NAI-1503806643v11

thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party to this Agreement of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. Unless otherwise provided, the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the parties to this Agreement may otherwise have at law or in equity. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of a party, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 9.9.

Section 9.10 Equitable Remedies. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the other parties to this Agreement would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such harm. Therefore, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that the other parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and to enforce specifically the performance by such first party under this Agreement, including to cause Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger pursuant and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement agrees to waive the defense in any such suit that the other parties to this Agreement have an adequate remedy at law and to interpose no opposition, legal or otherwise, as to the propriety of injunction or specific performance as a remedy, and hereby agrees to waive any requirement to post any bond in connection with obtaining such relief. The equitable remedies described in this Section 9.10 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the parties to this Agreement may elect to pursue.

Section 9.11 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its assets and properties, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or with respect to claims in which exclusive subject matter jurisdiction of such claims is Federal, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any courts having appellate jurisdiction therefrom, in any Action initiated prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the agreements delivered in connection with this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (1) agrees not to commence any such Action or proceeding prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) except in such courts; (2) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Action or proceeding prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) may be heard and determined in such Delaware state or Federal court; (3) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action or proceeding prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) in any such Delaware state or Federal court; and (4) waives, to the fullest

NAI-1503806643v11

extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action or proceeding prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) in any such Delaware state or Federal court. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding prior to the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time if specific performance is sought) shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(b) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any of the agreements delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party certifies and acknowledges that (1) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce either of such waivers, (2) it understands and has considered the implications of such waivers, (3) it makes such waivers voluntarily, and (4) it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.11.

Section 9.12 Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties. It is the explicit intent and understanding of each of the parties to this Agreement that no party to this Agreement, nor any of their respective Affiliates, representatives or agents, is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, other than those set forth in this Agreement (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule), and none of the parties to this Agreement is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by another party to this Agreement or such other party’s Affiliates, representatives or agents, except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that subject to the terms of Article VII, the foregoing shall not apply to any claim for Fraud.

Section 9.13 Representative.

(a) Appointment. The parties have agreed that it is desirable to designate Shareholder Representative Services LLC to act on behalf of the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options as each holder’s agent, representative, and attorney-in-fact (the “Representative”). By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and receiving the benefits of the Merger, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each holder of Company Capital Stock and Company Options shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and hereby designates, the Representative as each holder of Company Capital Stock and Company Options’ agent, representative and attorney-in-fact for all purposes herein and as may be required pursuant to this Agreement to act for the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options. The Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Representative may resign at any time, and the Representative may be removed by the vote of Persons that collectively held shares constituting more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Majority Holders”). In the event that the Representative has resigned or been removed, a new

NAI-1503806643v11

Representative shall be appointed by the Majority Holders, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance thereof by the new Representative.

(b) Authority and Liability. Without limiting the authority set forth in Section 9.13(a), the Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to the Representative under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that the Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the holders of Company Capital Stock or Company Options except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Representative shall be the exclusive agent, representative, and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the holders of the Company Capital Stock, Company Options or the Escrow Participants to:

(1) give and receive notices and communications to or from Parent or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby;

(2) authorize deductions by Parent from the Holdback Amount in satisfaction of any post-Closing adjustments in accordance with Section 2.10;

(3) authorize deliveries to Parent of cash or other property from the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund and Special Indemnification Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Parent;

(4) object to such claims in accordance with Section 7.6;

(5) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand mediation and arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims;

(6) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and comply with orders of courts with respect to, disputes; and

(7) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, including retaining counsel, accountants and other advisors, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance.

The Representative shall be the sole and exclusive means of asserting or addressing any of the above and no Escrow Participant shall have any right to act on its own behalf with respect to any such matters. The Representative shall have no liability to Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Escrow Participant, or holder of Company Capital Stock or Company Options with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Representative, except with respect to the Representative’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud (the matters described in this exception clause being “Unexculpable Matters”). The Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Representative in connection with the Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from Unexculpable Matters. The Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission taken or

NAI-1503806643v11

made in good faith pursuant to the advice of outside counsel. The Representative shall at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Majority Holders; provided, however, that the Representative shall not be required to follow any such direction, and shall be under no obligation to take any action in its capacity as Representative, unless the Representative is holding funds delivered to it under this Section 9.13(b) or has been provided with other funds, security or indemnities which, in the sole determination of the Representative, are sufficient to protect the Representative against the Indemnifiable Losses which may be incurred by the Representative in responding to such direction or taking such action. The Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising his powers and performing his function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons.

(c) Access to Information. The Representative will have reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and the reasonable assistance of the Surviving Corporation’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers and employees for purposes of performing the Representative’s duties and exercising the Representative’s rights hereunder. The Representative will treat confidentially and not disclose the terms of this Agreement or any nonpublic information from or about Parent, Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries or any Indemnified Person (the “Confidential Information”) to anyone, except that the Representative may disclose information as required by law or to the Representative’s employees, advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, financial advisors, agents or authorized representatives and to the holders of Company Capital Stock or Company Options, in each case who have a need to know such information, provided that such employees, advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, financial advisors, agents or authorized representatives are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto. If requested by Parent, the Representative may enter into a separate confidentiality agreement before being provided access to such information.

(d) Indemnification. The Escrow Participants shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly resulting from Unexculpable Matters, the Representative will reimburse the Escrow Participants the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such Unexculpable Matters. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Escrow Participants, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (i) first, the funds in the Representative’s Expense Fund and (ii) second, the Regular Indemnification Escrow Fund and the Special Indemnification Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts therein would otherwise be distributable to the Escrow Participants; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Escrow Participants from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred upon presentation of invoices or other evidence of Representative Losses,

NAI-1503806643v11

nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative under this Section 9.13. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Expense Fund. The Representative will use the Representative’s Expense Fund for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Options will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative’s Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Representative’s Expense Fund other than as a result of Unexculpable Matters. The Representative will hold the Representative’s Expense Fund in deposit accounts separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Representative’s Expense Fund shall not be subject to any encumbrance, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Person and shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in this ‎Section 9.13. It is the intention of the Representative, Parent and the Company that no Person has ownership of, or rights in, the Representative’s Expense Fund, other than the Representative’s rights to the Representative’s Expense Fund as set forth in this ‎Section 9.13, the right of the Representative to any interest or earnings on the Representative’s Expense Fund and the right of the Escrow Participants to receive distributions in accordance with the following sentence. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Representative’s responsibilities, the Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Representative’s Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Escrow Participants in accordance with their Escrow Pro Rata Portions.

Section 9.14 Waiver of Conflict; Privileged Communications. The parties acknowledge that at all times up to the Closing, all counsel, including ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, of the Company and its Affiliates (“Sell-side Counsel”) have represented only the Company and its Affiliates and that Sell-side Counsel possesses or will possess communications and documents that Sell-side Counsel prepared or will prepare in connection with their representation of the Company or its Affiliates, in each case that relate to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement and were delivered or prepared before the Closing (collectively, the “Sell-side Counsel Work Product”). The parties further acknowledge that Sell-side Counsel has been and will be providing, prior to the Closing, legal advice to the Company and its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and in such capacity will have obtained confidential information of the Company or its Affiliates, including privileged communications between Sell-side Counsel, on the one hand, and the directors, officers, stockholders, members, accounting firms, financial advisors or employees of the Company or its Affiliates, on the other hand. If subsequent to the

NAI-1503806643v11

Closing any dispute were to arise relating in any manner to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement between Parent or its Affiliates (each a “Buy-side Party”), on one hand, and the Representative, the Persons who held Company Capital Stock or Company Options before the Effective Time, in their capacity as such holders, or any Person who was a director, member, partner, officer, employee, representative or Affiliate of the Company or its Affiliates (each a “Sell-side Party”) before the Effective Time, on the other hand (each a “Dispute”), the parties hereby consent to Sell-side Counsel’s representation of the Sell-side Party in the Dispute(s). In connection with any Dispute, the Sell-side Parties will be permitted to, and the Buy-side Parties will not, assert any attorney-client privilege as to any communications between Sell-side Counsel and the Sell-side Parties, and the Sell-side Parties will be permitted to use, and the Buy-side Parties will not seek to discover or use, any item of Sell-side Counsel Work Product as evidence in any Action related to such Dispute or its subject matter.
