(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall provide employees of each Group Company who continue to be employed by a Group Company with the same salary or hourly wage rate as provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date and with employee benefits (excluding equity arrangements) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. Parent further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall and shall cause each Group Company to grant all of its

employees credit for any service with such Group Company earned prior to the Closing Date (a) for eligibility and vesting purposes and (b) for purposes of vacation accrual and severance benefit determinations (to the extent years of service is relevant to the level of benefits for which an employee is eligible) under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement that may be established or maintained by Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”); provided, however, that in no event shall such service credit result in any duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an employee under any Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date and (ii) cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) of any Group Company to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan in the year of initial participation. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee of any Group Company any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan or Employee Benefit Plan. Parent agrees that Parent and the Surviving Entity shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9. This Section 6.9(a) is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

(b) Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Effective Time, each Group Company shall terminate all Employee Benefit Plans that are intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement and shall provide Parent with evidence that such Employee Benefit Plans have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time). Parent agrees to take all actions reasonably required to provide that its employee pension benefit plan that is intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement shall accept rollovers from each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, including with respect to plan loans which are outstanding at the Effective Time. Each Group Company and Parent shall cooperate in taking all other actions reasonably required in furtherance of terminating such Employee Benefit Plans and distributing the plan assets as described herein. In the event that termination of a Group Company’s 401(k) plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees, then such Group Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than five business days prior to the Effective Time.

Section 6.10. Updated Disclosure Schedules. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and Sellers have delivered to Parent and Merger Sub the disclosure schedules to this Agreement (the “Schedules”). From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company and/or Sellers may prepare and deliver to Parent

and Merger Sub supplements and/or amendments to the Schedules (which may contain additional Schedules that are not in existence as of the date hereof relating to any of the provisions contained in ARTICLE III and/or ARTICLE IV, in each case, such supplement, amendment or new Schedule being referred to as an “Update”) with respect to matters first arising after the date hereof; provided, however, that no such Update shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement and shall not affect the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or the obligations set forth in ARTICLE IX.

Section 6.11. No Public Disclosure. No party hereto will issue or make any report, statement or release to the public (including employees, customers and suppliers of the parties) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of Parent and the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any party hereto is unable to obtain, after reasonable effort, the approval of its public report, statement or release from the other parties hereto and such report, statement or release is, in the opinion of legal counsel to such party, required by law in order to discharge such party’s disclosure obligations, then such party may make or issue the legally required report, statement or release and promptly furnish the other parties with a copy thereof. Each party hereto will also obtain the prior approval by the other parties hereto of any press release to be issued announcing the consummation of the Merger. This Section 6.11 shall not restrict or prohibit any disclosure by any Seller to its limited partners, investment funds affiliated with such Seller, the investors in such investment funds, and Affiliates (collectively, “Investment Partners”) regarding this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby to the extent such Seller reasonably determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that each Seller and its Investment Partners (except for the Group Companies) may provide general information about the subject matter of this Agreement in connection with such Seller’s or its Investment Partner’s fund raising, marketing, informational or reporting activities in the ordinary course of business.

Section 6.12. Approval of Agreement and Merger. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement (but no later than 5:00 pm Eastern time on the day following the date hereof), each Seller shall sign, date and deliver to Parent the Written Consent evidencing its irrevocable adoption of this Agreement and approval of this Agreement and the Merger, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the Company’s Governing Documents. The Company shall prepare and distribute a notice to non-consenting stockholders in compliance with Section 228 of the DGCL (and in any event within five (5) days after the date of this Agreement), which notice and materials to be distributed therewith shall incorporate all reasonable comments timely submitted by Parent.

Section 6.13. Restrictive Covenants.

(a) From and after the Closing, each Seller shall keep confidential any confidential information of the Group Companies and the Business, including any information constituting or relating to trade secrets of the Company or confidential Company Intellectual Property Rights, or any confidential information of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates acquired in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such information (a) is in the public domain through no fault of such Seller, or (b) was lawfully acquired after the Closing from sources, other than Parent, Merger Sub or any of their

respective Affiliates, which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Seller is compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, such Seller shall promptly notify Parent in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information that such Seller reasonably believes after consultation with counsel, is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that each Seller shall exercise reasonable best efforts at Parent’s expense to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b) In the event of any breach or threatened breach by any Seller of any of the provisions contained in Section 6.13(a), Parent shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief, restraining such party from using or disclosing any confidential information in whole or in part, or from engaging in conduct that would constitute a breach of the obligations contained in such Sections. Such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies that may be available, including an action for the recovery of damages.

Section 6.14. Merger Consideration Schedule. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent an updated version of the Merger Consideration Schedule, which shall reflect the information contained therein as of the actual Closing Date and shall be calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Governing Documents of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 6.15. Non-Signing Stockholders. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall send, at Berkshire’s direction, to each stockholder of the Company who is not a Seller the written notice described in Section 2.3(a) of the Stockholders Agreement (Take Along Rights).

Section 6.16. Release. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, on its own and on behalf of its assigns, successors and legal representatives and any and all Persons or entities claiming by or through any of the foregoing, hereby irrevocably releases, remises, waives and forever discharges any and all rights and claims that it has had, now has or might hereafter have against Parent, the Group Companies and each of their respective past, present and future directors, officers and equityholders, agents, attorneys and employees, and the respective personal representatives, successors, assigns, agents and Affiliates of each of the foregoing (each, a “Released Party”), whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, unanticipated as well as anticipated and that now exist or may hereafter accrue based on matters now unknown as well as known from the beginning of the world to the time of the Closing, except for rights and claims involving fraud or arising from or in connection with this Agreement and/or any Ancillary Document (including the Escrow Agreement) or rights and claims of Sellers who are employees of any of the Group Companies arising in their capacity as employees of any of the Group Companies. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller hereby irrevocably agrees to refrain from directly or indirectly asserting any claim or demand or commencing (or causing to be commenced) any suit, action, or proceeding of any kind, in any court or before any tribunal, against any Released Party based upon any right or claim purported to be released by this Section 6.16.

Section 6.17. Stock and Record Books. No Seller shall keep or retain any of the stock books of any Group Company (including those of any applicable predecessors), including original stock certificates for the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company, if such shares are certificated, all of which shall be retained by the Group Companies.

Section 9.3. Claims.

(a) Any party seeking indemnification under Section 9.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give the party from whom indemnification is being sought (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”) notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating in reasonable detail, the nature of the claim, a good-faith reasonable estimate of the Damage and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually prejudiced thereby. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not have been resolved as of the date of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall estimate in good faith the amount of the claim in the Claim Notice, but also specify therein that the claim has not yet been liquidated (an “Unliquidated Claim” and, the Claim Notice in respect thereof, an “Unliquidated Claim Notice”). If an Indemnified Party gives an Unliquidated Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party shall also give a second Claim Notice within sixty (60) days after the matter giving rise to the claim becomes finally resolved and the amount of identifiable Damages can be determined, which second Claim Notice shall specify the amount of the claim (any such second Claim Notice, together with any other Claim Notice given pursuant hereto that is not an Unliquidated Claim Notice is referred to herein as a “Liquidated Claim Notice”). Each Responsible Party to which a Liquidated Claim Notice that does not involve a Third Party Claim (as defined below) is given shall respond to any Indemnified Party that has given such Liquidated Claim Notice within 30 days (the “Response Period”) after the date on which such Liquidated Claim Notice is given. If the Responsible Party does not notify

the Indemnified Party within the Response Period that the Responsible Party disputes such claim (the “Claim Dispute Notice”), the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative may submit a Claim Dispute Notice on behalf of any or all of the Responsible Parties that are Sellers. If the Responsible Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including any Third Party Claim), the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Responsible Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in 45 days after delivery of the Claim Dispute Notice, the Indemnified Party may thereafter pursue any legal remedies available to the Indemnified Party against the Responsible Party with respect to the unresolved claim(s) in accordance with this ARTICLE IX.

(b) If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Responsible Party of such claims; provided that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Responsible Party shall have 45 days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Responsible Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided that as a condition to the Responsible Party’s assumption of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Responsible Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party the Responsible Party’s responsibility for such Third Party Claim; provided further that the Responsible Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party. So long as the Responsible Party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor for such claim unless the Responsible Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 45 days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim, and the Indemnified Party shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.3(f), the Responsible Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the written consent of Parent, the Sellers shall not be entitled to assume any Third Party Claim to the extent that: (i) any such Third Party Claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief; (ii) the Third Party Claim results from, arises out of or relates to any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation; (iii) the Third Party Claim involves a material supplier of a Group Company; (iv) the Third Party Claim results from,

arises out of or relates to any civil or criminal or other equitable claim asserted by any Governmental Entity; or (v) Parent reasonably believes that Parent’s Damages resulting from an adverse determination of such Third Party Claim would be more than an amount equal to two times the amount of the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this ARTICLE IX (after taking into account other claims for indemnification made by Parent Indemnified Parties and the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX, as applicable) (each Third Party Claim of the type described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), a “Prohibited Action”). If Parent consents in writing to the Sellers’ assumption of any Prohibited Action, the Sellers shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Prohibited Action, except with the prior written consent of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) With respect to Damages to which a Parent Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder that are based upon fraud, if the amount of the Escrow Funds available for payment of such Damages is less than the amount of Damages to which such Parent Indemnified Party is entitled, then, subject to the limitations contained in this ARTICLE IX, the Parent Indemnified Party shall have the right to seek payment of such Damages (x) first from the Escrow Funds to the extent available, and (y) second, directly from Sellers for the remainder of such Damages in excess of the Escrow Funds. If there shall be a dispute as to the amount or manner of indemnification under this ARTICLE IX, the Indemnified Party and the Responsible Party may each pursue whatever legal remedies may be available to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

(e) If the Indemnified Party is a Parent Indemnified Party then, within 5 Business Days from the date on which it is finally determined that such Parent Indemnified Party became entitled to payment under Section 9.2, Parent and the Representative shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent as to the amount of funds, if any, to be disbursed from the Escrow Funds and instructions as to the manner in which such funds shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall have the right to conduct and control the defense of the Excluded Liability. Sellers shall not, except with the consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Excluded Liability. After any full and final settlement of the Excluded Liability, if the Excluded Liability Holdback is greater than the amount for which the Excluded Liability was fully and finally settled and all Damages of Parent Indemnified Parties related to the Excluded Liability then, within 10 Business Days after such full and final settlement, Parent shall remit to the Escrow Agent the amount of such excess, to be held in escrow as part of the Escrow Funds. Any Damages recoverable by a Parent Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(a) shall be paid first from the Excluded Liability Holdback and second, if the Excluded Liability Holdback is not sufficient to pay the full amount of such Damages, from the Escrow Funds.

Section 9.4. Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The rights of the Parent Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(a) are subject to the limitations set forth below.

(a) With respect to claims for Damages by a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), such Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification

with respect to such Damages only when the aggregate of all Damages to such Parent Indemnified Party other than Damages recoverable under Section 9.2(a)(ix) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), and then such Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification only for its Damages that are in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to claims for Damages by a Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) relating to Fundamental Representations or claims for fraud. The aggregate liability of all of the Sellers, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, for Damages shall not exceed the Escrow Amount or be paid from any other source other than the Escrow Funds; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to claims for fraud.

(b) No Seller shall be entitled to contribution from, or indemnification by, Parent or the Surviving Entity, directly or indirectly, under the Company’s Governing Documents, this Agreement, applicable corporate or other laws or otherwise, in respect of amounts due from a Seller to a Parent Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE IX, and Sellers shall hold the Company and the Parent Indemnified Parties harmless in respect of all such amounts and shall not seek to join the Company in connection with any suit arising under this Agreement.

(c) No information or knowledge acquired, or investigations conducted, by Parent, Merger Sub or their respective representatives or otherwise shall in any way limit, or constitute a waiver of, or a defense to, any right of a Parent Indemnified Party to assert a claim for indemnification under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

(d) All materiality qualifications contained in the Company’s or the Sellers’ representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document, including the term Company Material Adverse Effect, shall be taken into account under this ARTICLE IX solely for purposes of determining whether a breach or violation has occurred for which an indemnity obligation exists. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any representation or warranty that is breached, all such qualifications shall be ignored and not given effect for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages resulting from any such breach or violation.

(e) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Sellers shall be responsible for, and the Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to, indemnification with respect to Taxes of a Group Company for a taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, or the portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, to the extent attributable the amount, expiration date, availability of or limitations on any Group Company Tax attributes, including any net operating loss, capital loss or credit carryover, and including tax bases of assets, or the depreciation or amortization thereof, of any Group Company. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.4(e) shall not in any way be interpreted as limiting the obligations of Sellers to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(vii) for Taxes of a Group Company for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

Section 9.5. Exclusive Remedies. Except as set forth in Section 6.5, Section 6.13, Section 9.4(a) and this Section 9.5, and subject to Section 11.15, (a) the provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto for any

misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document delivered pursuant hereto and with respect to any and all claims by Parent Indemnified Parties relating to this Agreement, the events giving rise to or the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) the Escrow Funds remaining at any given time shall be the sole and exclusive source of payment and recovery available to the Parent Indemnified Parties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, this ARTICLE IX), and at no time will the Parent Indemnified Parties be entitled to recover Damages or any other payments hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (i) in excess of the amount of the Escrow Funds or (ii) from any source other than the Escrow Funds (including, without limitation, from the Sellers directly); (c) at such time as there are no remaining Escrow Funds, the indemnity obligations under Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) shall terminate and, other than with respect to fraud, the Sellers and Parent shall thereafter have no further liability to any Indemnified Party under this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies that any party has at law or in equity against any other party hereto, based on fraud.

Section 9.6. Mitigation of Damages. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other to mitigate any Damages.

Section 9.7. Calculation of Damages. In no event shall Damages include punitive, special, incidental or indirect damages, except to the extent such damages constitute part of a third party’s claim against an Indemnified Party. The obligation of Sellers to indemnify a Parent Indemnified Party under this Article IX shall be limited to the amount of any Damages that remain after deducting therefrom any Recognized Tax Benefit resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE X

REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLERS

Section 10.1. Authorization of Representative.

(a) Each Seller, by virtue of such Seller’s execution of this Agreement or execution and delivery of a Joinder, as the case may be, hereby appoints, authorizes and empowers BSR LLC to act as such Seller’s representative (the “Representative”), for the benefit of the Sellers, as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Seller, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which shall include the power and authority:

(i) to execute and deliver any Ancillary Documents (with such modifications or changes therein as to which the Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have consented) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as the Representative, in its sole discretion, determines to be desirable;

(ii) to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable;

(iii) to use the Representative Expense Amount to satisfy costs, expenses and/or liabilities of the Representative in connection with matters related to this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Documents, with any balance of the Representative Expense Amount not used for such purposes to be disbursed and paid to the Sellers pro rata in accordance with the number of Company Shares owned by the Sellers at the Closing at such time as the Representative determines in its sole discretion that no additional such costs, expenses and/or liabilities shall become due and payable;

(iv) to collect and receive all moneys and other proceeds and property payable to the Representative from the Escrow Account as described herein, and, subject to any applicable withholding retention laws, and net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative, the Representative shall disburse and pay the same to the Sellers pro rata in accordance with the number of Company Shares owned by the Sellers at the Closing at such time as the Representative determines in its reasonable discretion;

(v) as the Representative, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of Sellers and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate referred to herein or therein or the transactions provided for herein or therein (including in connection with any and all claims for indemnification brought under Article IX hereof), and to take any and all actions which the Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under the Escrow Agreement and/or this Agreement for and on behalf of Sellers, including asserting or pursuing any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”) against Parent, Merger Sub and/or the Surviving Entity, defending any Third Party Claims or Claims by the Parent Indemnified Parties, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Claims, conducting negotiations with Parent, the Surviving Entity and their respective representatives regarding such Claims, and, in connection therewith, to: (A) assert any claim or institute any action, proceeding or investigation; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any claim, action, proceeding or investigation initiated by Parent, the Surviving Entity or any other Person, or by any federal, state or local Governmental Entity against the Representative and/or any of Sellers, the Escrow Funds, and receive process on behalf of any or all Sellers in any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and compromise or settle on such terms as the Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation; (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Representative may deem advisable or necessary; (D) settle or compromise any claims asserted under the Escrow Agreement; and (E) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such action, proceeding or investigation, it being understood that the Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions;

(vi) to refrain from enforcing any right of any Seller and/or the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Representative or by such Seller unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 11.10 and in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Representative; and

(vii) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or executed in connection herewith and therewith.

(b) The Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services hereunder, but shall be entitled to the payment of all its expenses incurred as the Representative. In connection with this Agreement and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Representative hereunder (i) the Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Seller by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with any other agreement, instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, and (ii) the Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Representative to liability to any Seller. Each Seller shall severally indemnify the Representative against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever), arising out of or in connection with any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Representative hereunder or otherwise in its capacity as the Representative. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any action or proceeding which finally adjudicates the liability of the Representative hereunder for its willful misconduct. In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from the Representative to Sellers as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each Seller shall promptly deliver to the Representative full payment of his or her ratable share of the amount of such deficiency.

(c) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Documents.

(d) Parent and the Surviving Entity shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon Sellers.

(e) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller, and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the Merger.

Section 10.2. Successor Representative; Removal.

(a) If any Representative resigns (by giving at least 60 days’ written notice of such resignation to Parent and the Escrow Agent) or dies or becomes incapable of continuing to act as the Representative for any reason, a successor Representative (who shall either be a Seller or another Person reasonably acceptable to Parent) shall be appointed in writing by a majority in interest of the Sellers, such appointment to become effective upon the delivery of executed counterparts of such writing to Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Escrow Agent, together with an acknowledgement signed by the successor Representative named in such writing that he, she or it accepts the responsibility of successor Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement applicable to the Representative. Failing such appointment, the Escrow Agent or any Seller may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Representative.

(b) A majority in interest of the Sellers shall have the right at any time during the term of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to remove the then-acting Representative and to appoint a successor Representative (who shall either be a Seller or another Person reasonably acceptable to Parent); provided, however, that such removal of the then-acting Representative shall not be effective until the delivery to Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Escrow Agent of executed counterparts of a writing signed by a majority in interest of the Sellers with respect to such removal and appointment, together with an acknowledgement signed by the successor Representative appointed in such writing that he, she or it accepts the responsibility of successor Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement applicable to the Representative.

(c) Each interim and successor Representative shall have all the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Representative, and the term Representative as used herein shall be deemed to include any interim or successor Representative.

(d) Any notices given by Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Escrow Agent while there is no Representative shall be sufficiently given if given to the other, with a copy provided directly to the Seller with the largest stake in the Escrow Funds immediately following the Effective Time (excluding the former Representative). A copy of all such notices shall be delivered to the successor Representative upon his, her or its appointment and he, she or it shall have five (5) days thereafter to take such actions as may be required under the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement in connection with any such notice.

Section 11.3. Governing Law. This Agreement and any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 11.4. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, whether or not the Closing occurs or the Merger is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants,

shall be paid by the party hereto incurring such fees or expenses; provided that in the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay all Unpaid Sellers Expenses as part of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.9.

Section 11.5. Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Agreement and Plan of Merger together with all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No party hereto, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing or enforcing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of its authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; and (vi) the phrase “ordinary course of business” shall mean the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

Section 11.6. Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules or other documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed on any Schedule referenced by a particular section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other section in this Agreement if the applicability of such disclosure to such other section is reasonably apparent. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11.7. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.5, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stockholders and optionholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing are third party beneficiaries of ARTICLE X of this Agreement.

Section 11.8. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 11.9. Amendment. Prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable law (including the DGCL) and Section 11.10, this Agreement may be amended or modified only in accordance with Section 6.10 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, only applies to amendments of the Schedules) or by a written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. After the Effective Time, subject to applicable law (including the DGCL), this Agreement may be amended or modified only by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Surviving Entity and the Representative. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding two sentences and any purported amendment by any party or parties hereto effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 11.9 shall be void.

Section 11.10. Extension; Waiver. The Company, on behalf of itself and Sellers (at any time prior to the Closing), and the Representative, on behalf of itself and Sellers (at any time after the Closing), may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Entity contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Entity pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Entity with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Parent may, at any time, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company (prior to the Closing), Sellers or the Representative contained herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company (prior to the Closing) and Sellers contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by the Company (prior to the Closing), Sellers or the Representative pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance by the Company (prior to the Closing), Sellers or the Representative with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 11.11. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 11.12. Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub. The obligations of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder are jointly and severally guaranteed by each other.

Section 11.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties to this Agreement each hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. The parties to this Agreement each hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties to this Agreement may file an original counterpart of a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 11.14. Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.2. Nothing in this Section 11.14, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 11.15. Remedies.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII, the Company, the Representative, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Company, any Seller, Parent or Merger Sub is entitled at law or in equity.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any party hereto seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 11.16. Guarantee. ARAMARK Corp. hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Company and the Sellers the obligation of Parent to pay the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Agreement and Plan of Merger to be duly executed on its behalf as of the day and year first above written.
