Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Unitholder Representative are each referred to herein as a “Party” or, collectively, as the “Parties”.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, each of the board of managers of the Company, the board of directors of Parent and the board of managers and the sole member of Merger Sub have determined that this Agreement is advisable and have approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Key Individuals and Key Unitholders have entered into letter agreements (collectively, the “Letter Agreements”) dated as of the date hereof and which shall be effective as of the Effective Time;

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, (i) promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and in any event by midnight on January 5, 2020, the Unitholders of the Company listed on Schedule B will have executed and delivered support agreements in the form attached hereto as Annex B (the “Support Agreements”) and (ii) prior to the Closing Date, and as a condition to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder, Unitholders holding at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued and outstanding Company Units shall have executed and delivered Support Agreements;

WHEREAS, the Support Agreements will constitute the applicable Unitholder’s consent to, and vote to approve and adopt, this Agreement and the Merger and appointment of the Unitholder Representative to act on its behalf pursuant to Section 11.01; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition of, and inducement to, the Company’s willingness to enter into this agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company a binder (the “Binder Agreement”), evidencing a commitment to issue and bind the R&W Policy at or prior to the Closing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

(a) No later than seven (7) Business Days before the Closing Date and no more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent (or, with respect to the reasonable supporting detail, have Made Available to Parent) the Company’s good faith calculation of, and reasonable supporting detail relating to, both the estimated Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price”), each component thereof (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) and reasonable supporting detail relating to such component, (including bank statements dated as of the date that the Estimated Closing Statement is provided, a reconciliation between any differences in the Company’s cash position and the bank statement, debt payoff letters and invoices). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms (including the definitions) of this Agreement. Parent shall have the right to object to the amounts contained in the Estimated Closing Statement no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall in good faith consider the objections, if any, of Parent to the Estimated Closing Statement and, if Parent has made any objections, shall reissue the Estimated Closing Statement containing the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price and each component thereof no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date with any such revisions that the Company has determined in good faith are appropriate.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent, the Unitholder Representative and the Payments Administrator shall enter into the Payments Administrator Agreement, which agreement shall have customary terms and shall provide that on the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Payments Administrator, for the benefit of the applicable Equityholders, an amount in cash equal to the Aggregate Closing Amount less the portion of such amount payable in respect of the Company RSUs by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Payments Administrator in writing no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Payments Administrator Agreement also shall provide that the amounts paid to the Payments Administrator pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) (the “Payments Administrator Fund”) shall be held and disbursed by the Payments Administrator, and Parent shall cause the Payments Administrator to hold and disburse the Payments Administrator Fund, in accordance with this Section 3.04. Any portion of the amount deposited by Parent (or caused to be deposited by Parent) that remains unclaimed by the applicable Equityholders six (6) months after the Effective Time will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be returned to Parent upon demand.

-5-

(c) As promptly as practicable on or after the date hereof and in accordance with the Payments Administrator Agreement, the Payments Administrator shall provide to each Unitholder (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall include a waiver and release pursuant to which each Unitholder executes a full and unconditional release regarding any and all claims as an Unitholder, including the calculation of the Per Unit Merger Consideration, as a condition to receiving the Per Unit Merger Consideration, in favor of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company and its subsidiaries and each of their directors, officers, managers, employees and Affiliates, and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree). Upon delivery of such letter of transmittal to the Payments Administrator, the holder shall be entitled to receive, upon the later to occur of the Closing or the date such holder delivers such documents to the Payments Administrator (subject to the terms of the Payments Administrator Agreement), in exchange for each of their Company Units an amount of cash equal to the Per Unit Closing Payment and the Company Units so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.04(c), each such Company Unit shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Unit Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article III, and no cash shall be paid to the holder of any such unit in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Company Units.

(d) The consideration to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon effectiveness of the Merger shall constitute satisfaction in full of all rights pertaining to the Company Units, and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Company of Company Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the aggregate amount of consideration payable by Parent to any Equityholder or any other holders of any equity or debt securities of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.04 exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.

3.05 Holdback.

(a) At the Effective Time, Parent shall holdback (i) […] of the Aggregate Purchase Price, which shall constitute a holdback used to satisfy any indemnification amounts owed to Parent from the Equityholders under Article X but excluding any amounts owed to Parent from the Equityholders pursuant to Section 3.07 (the “Indemnity Holdback”), (ii) […] of the Aggregate Purchase Price, which shall constitute a holdback used to satisfy any indemnification amounts owed Parent from the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(v) (the “Special Indemnity Holdback”) and (iii) […] of the Aggregate Purchase Price, which shall constitute a specific holdback used to satisfy amounts owed to Parent from the Equityholders pursuant to Section 3.07 (the “Purchase Price Holdback”). The Indemnity Holdback, Special Indemnity Holdback, the Purchase Price Holdback shall each be disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company and Parent agree that […] of the Special Indemnity Holdback relates to […] liabilities of the Surviving Company (the […] Holdback”).

(b) From and after the Closing, Parent and the Unitholder Representative agree to work in good faith to determine the […] liabilities of the Surviving Company. To the extent that Parent establishes, based on reasonable evidence, that there is an […] liability (all such amounts “[…]”), Parent shall be entitled to take all actions to remediate such […] (including any of the actions that would otherwise be prohibited under Section 6.10(g)(ii)) and the […] Holdback shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Losses incurred by the Parent in respect of such […].

-6-

(c) To the extent that Parent and the Unitholder Representative are unable to agree on whether there is an […] of the Surviving Company, either of Parent or the Unitholder Representative may, upon written notice to the other, refer all matters that remain in dispute for resolution to the Independent Accountant who shall, acting as an expert in accounting and not as a valuation expert or arbitrator, render its decision as to what amounts should be retained in or released from the […] Holdback (the “[…] Matters”) (and not on any other matter or calculation set forth in the Closing Statement) in a manner consistent with the terms (including the definitions) of this Agreement. In resolving any […] Matter, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any […] Matter greater than the maximum value for such matter claimed by either party or less than the minimum value for such matter claimed by either party. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to each […] Matter shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of Parent and the Unitholder Representative within ten (10) Business Days after such items are submitted for determination, with such written statement including (i) the Independent Accountant’s determination as to the calculation of each of the Unresolved Matters and (ii) the corresponding releases or retention that is due to the […] Holdback from its determination as to the calculations of the […] Matters, all of which shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error. The Independent Accountant shall also determine the proportion of its fees and expenses to be paid by each of Parent and the Unitholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Equityholders) based on the degree (as determined in good faith by the Independent Accountant) to which the Independent Accountant has accepted the positions of Parent and the Unitholder Representative. The Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by Parent (if any) shall be paid to the Independent Accountant directly by Parent, and the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Unitholder Representative (if any, solely on behalf of the Equityholders) shall be paid from the Expense Fund and the Purchase Price Holdback. By way of example only, should the aggregate Sales Tax Matters sum to $1,000, and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Unitholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses would be borne by Parent and forty percent (40%) would be borne by the Unitholder Representative. The Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by Parent (if any) shall be paid to the Independent Accountant directly by Parent, and the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Unitholder Representative (if any, solely on behalf of the Equityholders) shall be paid from the Expense Fund, Purchase Price Holdback and Special Indemnity Holdback. To the extent the Expense Fund, Purchase Price Holdback and Special Indemnity Holdback are insufficient or unavailable to cover all of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Unitholder Representative, Parent shall pay any such remaining fees and expenses and Parent shall be entitled to deduct such amounts from any amounts payable to the applicable Equityholders (or to the Payments Administrator on their behalf) pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) On the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the amount remaining in the […] Holdback shall be released to the Payments Administrator and, with respect to Company RSUs, to the Surviving Company, no later than […], in such proportions as required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that if (i) there are any claims for Losses under Section 10.02(a)(v) that are pending on such dates or (ii) there are […] Matter, the applicable portion (and only the applicable portion) of the […] Holdback that is subject to any such Losses shall not be so released until such applicable Losses are finally resolved and satisfied.

-7-

(e) The amount remaining in (i) the Indemnity Holdback, as of the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Release Date”), and (ii) the Special Indemnity Holdback, as of the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Special Indemnity Release Date” and together with the Indemnity Release Date, the “Release Dates”), shall be released to the Payments Administrator and, with respect to Company RSUs, to the Surviving Company no later than ten (10) Business Days following the relevant Release Date in such proportions as required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that if there are any claims for Losses under Article X (other than under Section 10.02(a)(v)) that are pending on the Indemnity Release Date, the applicable portion (and only the applicable portion) of the Indemnity Holdback that is subject to any such Losses shall not be so released until such applicable Losses are finally resolved and satisfied and provided further that if there are any claims for Losses under Section 10.02(a)(v) that are pending on the Special Indemnity Release Date, the applicable portion (and only the applicable portion) of the Special Indemnity Holdback that is subject to any such Losses shall not be so released until such applicable Losses are finally resolved and satisfied. The Payments Administrator shall distribute the portion of the Per Unit Holdback Consideration that is distributable to the Equityholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Payments Administrator Agreement promptly after its release from the Indemnity Holdback or Special Indemnity Holdback, as applicable, and the Surviving Company shall process the portion of the Per Unit Holdback Consideration that is payable in respect of Company RSUs through its payroll. To the extent amounts of the Indemnity Holdback or Special Indemnity Holdback are distributed to the Equityholders, the Unitholder Representative shall be entitled to be reimbursed from such distributed amounts from the Indemnity Holdback or Special Indemnity Holdback, respectively, for any out-of-pocket costs (including attorney fees) for administering claims relating to Losses, to the extent there are not adequate funds available in the Expense Fund to cover the reimbursement of such out-of-pocket costs.

3.06 Aggregate Closing Payment Schedule. Schedule C attached hereto sets forth the Company’s preliminary calculation of the allocation of the Aggregate Closing Amount and the allocation of the Aggregate Cash Amount entitled to be received in accordance with this Agreement by each Equityholder. No later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (but subject to updates based on revisions, if any, to the Estimated Closing Statement pursuant to Section 3.04(a)), the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule (the “Aggregate Closing Payment Schedule”) setting forth (a) the final allocation of the Aggregate Closing Amount to be paid in accordance with this Agreement to each Equityholder and (b) the final allocation of the Aggregate Cash Amount to be paid in accordance with this Agreement to each Equityholder. Parent shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the Aggregate Closing Payment Schedule in paying the Aggregate Cash Amount pursuant to Section 3.04 and shall have no obligation to investigate the entitlements of any Person to any portion of the Aggregate Cash Amount payable at Closing.

3.07 Post-Closing Determination of the Closing Statement.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Unitholder Representative a good faith calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price and each component thereof (the “Closing Statement”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing Statement, and the component items and calculations therein, shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the terms (including the definitions) of this Agreement. If Parent fails to deliver the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then, at the Unitholder Representative's election, the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 3.04(a) shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error unless the Unitholder Representative gives Parent written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) of any disputes or objections thereto (collectively, the “Disputed Items”), with its good faith calculation of, and reasonable supporting detail relating to, such Disputed Items, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the Closing Statement (such period, the “Review Period”). In the event the Unitholder Representative fails to deliver to Parent a Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period or otherwise earlier notifies Parent in writing that the Unitholder Representative has no disputes or objections to the Closing Statement, the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error.

-8-

(b) Parent and the Unitholder Representative shall, for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as Parent and the Unitholder Representative may agree in writing) following delivery of a Dispute Notice to Parent (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences, and any such resolution by them as to any Disputed Items shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error. Any Disputed Items agreed to by Parent and the Unitholder Representative in writing, together with any items or calculations set forth in the Closing Statement not disputed or objected to by the Unitholder Representative in the Dispute Notice, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters”. Any Resolved Matters shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error, except to the extent such component could be affected by other components of the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement that are the subject of a Dispute Notice.

(c) If at the end of the Resolution Period, Parent and the Unitholder Representative have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Dispute Notice, either of Parent or the Unitholder Representative may, upon written notice to the other, refer all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Dispute Notice (the “Unresolved Matters”) for resolution to the Independent Accountant who shall, acting as an expert in accounting and not as a valuation expert or arbitrator, render its decision on the Unresolved Matters (and not on any other matter or calculation set forth in the Closing Statement) in a manner consistent with the terms (including the definitions) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall apply the Accounting Methodologies and the other principles set forth in this Agreement for purposes of the disputed calculations, even if the Accounting Methodologies or such other principles deviate from GAAP, and the engagement letter for the Independent Accountant shall include the agreement of the Independent Accountant to apply the Accounting Methodologies. In resolving any Unresolved Matter, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any Unresolved Matter greater than the maximum value for such matter claimed by either party or less than the minimum value for such matter claimed by either party. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to each Unresolved Matter shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each of Parent and the Unitholder Representative within ten (10) Business Days after such items are submitted for determination, with such written statement including (i) the Independent Accountant’s determination as to the calculation of each of the Unresolved Matters and (ii) the corresponding corrective calculations set forth in the Closing Statement that are derived from its determination as to the calculations of the Unresolved Matters, all of which shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error. The Independent Accountant shall also determine the proportion of its fees and expenses to be paid by each of Parent and the Unitholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Equityholders) based on the degree (as determined in good faith by the Independent Accountant) to which the Independent Accountant has accepted the positions of Parent and the Unitholder Representative. The Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by Parent (if any) shall be paid to the Independent Accountant directly by Parent, and the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Unitholder Representative (if any, solely on behalf of the Equityholders) shall be paid from the Expense Fund and the Purchase Price Holdback. By way of example only, should the aggregate Unresolved Matters sum to $1,000, and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Unitholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses would be borne by Parent and forty percent (40%) would be borne by the Unitholder Representative. The Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by Parent (if any) shall be paid to the Independent Accountant directly by Parent, and the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Unitholder Representative (if any, solely on behalf of the Equityholders) shall be paid from the Expense Fund. To the extent the Expense Fund and Purchase Price Holdback are insufficient or unavailable to cover all of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses payable by the Unitholder Representative, Parent shall pay any such remaining fees and expenses and Parent shall be entitled to deduct such amounts from any amounts payable to the applicable Equityholders (or to the Payments Administrator on their behalf) pursuant to this Agreement.

The “Final Aggregate Purchase Price” shall mean the Aggregate Purchase Price as derived from the Final Closing Statement.

(e) From and after the delivery of the Closing Statement by Parent until the determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 3.07, Parent and the Surviving Company shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, permit the Unitholder Representative and its Representatives reasonable access to the personnel, accountants and properties of the Surviving Company and its subsidiaries, and provide reasonable access (with the right to make copies), during business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to all of the books, records, contracts and other documents (including auditor’s work papers) of the Surviving Company or its subsidiaries only to the extent necessary to evaluate the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement.

(ii) If the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price exceeds the Final Aggregate Purchase Price (such excess the “Overstatement”) and the Purchase Price Holdback exceeds the Overstatement (such excess the “Payable Holdback Portion”), then within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Statement, Parent or the Surviving Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in immediately available funds, with the Payments Administrator the Payable Holdback Portion (less the portion of such amount payable in respect of the Company RSUs, which the Surviving Company shall process through its payroll) and, immediately thereafter, Parent and the Unitholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Payments Administrator to deliver such amounts promptly to the Equityholders in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) If the Overstatement exceeds the Purchase Price Holdback (such excess the “Payable Overstatement”), the Purchase Price Holdback shall be for Parent’s account.

(iv) All payments pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Aggregate Purchase Price for all foreign, federal, state and local income Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

(b) Subject to Unitholder Representative’s ongoing compliance with the Unitholder Representative NDA attached hereto as Annex D, until filing by Parent of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days following the filing of its Form 10-Q or Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (as applicable), but not later than thirty (30) days following the normal filing deadline for such Form, prepare and deliver a good faith calculation of the total Net Sales from the Company Products in the applicable calendar quarter (a “Parent Earn-Out Statement”), together with, for the Parent Earn-Out Statements delivered immediately following the filing of its Form 10-K in fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 only, a statement as to whether any Net Sales Growth Earn-Out Consideration or Net Sales Earn-Out Consideration is payable in connection therewith and if so, the amount thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parent Earn-Out Statement, and the component items and calculations therein, shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the terms (including the definitions) of this Agreement.

(c) If the Unitholder Representative disputes the calculation of Net Sales set forth in any Parent Earn-Out Statement the Unitholder Representative shall deliver to Parent a written notice (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) of any disputes or objections thereto (collectively, the “Earn-Out Disputed Items”) with reasonable supporting detail as to such Disputed Items, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the Parent Earn-Out Statement (such period, the “Earn-Out Review Period”); provided that the Unitholder Representative may only deliver an Earn-Out Dispute Notice in respect of the Parent Earn-Out Statement delivered with respect to its Form 10-K for years 2020, 2021 and 2022.

(d) If the Unitholder Representative fails to deliver to Parent an Earn-Out Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period or otherwise earlier notifies Parent in writing that the Unitholder Representative has no disputes or objections to the Parent Earn-Out Statement, the amount of Net Sales set forth in the Parent Earn-Out Statement shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error and payments shall be made by Parent in accordance with Section 3.04.

-12-

(e) Parent and the Unitholder Representative shall, for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as Parent and the Unitholder Representative may agree in writing) following delivery of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice to Parent (the “Earn-Out Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences, and any such resolution by them as to any Earn-Out Disputed Items shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error. Any Earn-Out Disputed Items agreed to by Parent and the Unitholder Representative in writing, together with any items or calculations set forth in the Parent Earn-Out Statement not disputed or objected to by the Unitholder Representative in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, are collectively referred to herein as the “Earn-Out Resolved Matters”. Any Earn-Out Resolved Matters shall be conclusive, final and binding on all Parties absent manifest error, except to the extent such component could be affected by other components of the calculations set forth in the Parent Earn-Out Statement that are the subject of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. If at the end of the Earn-Out Resolution Period, Parent and the Unitholder Representative have been unable to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice, either of Parent or the Unitholder Representative may, upon written notice to the other, refer all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Dispute Notice to be exclusively and definitively resolved, without any recourse to appeal, by final and binding arbitration pursuant to Section 3.08(f).

(f) Any Earn-Out Arbitration shall be instituted and conducted in, and its seat shall be, the city of Chicago, Illinois, where the arbitration award shall be rendered.

The law of this arbitration clause shall be the law of the State of Delaware. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, though documents or testimony may be submitted in other languages if a translation is provided. The arbitration panel shall be composed of three (3) arbitrators. The first (1st) arbitrator shall be appointed by the claimant. The second (2nd) arbitrator shall be appointed by the respondent. The third (3rd) arbitrator (who shall act as chairman) shall be appointed by the two (2) party-appointed arbitrators, within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of confirmation of the second (2nd) party-appointed arbitrator. If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator within the required period, or if the two (2) arbitrators cannot reach an agreement with respect to the third (3rd) arbitrator within the applicable periods, the appointment shall be made by the ICC International Court of Arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. To the extent that an Earn-Out Arbitration involves more than one (1) party as claimant, such claimants shall jointly appoint the first (1st) arbitrator. To the extent that an Earn-Out Arbitration involves more than one (1) respondent, such respondents shall jointly appoint the second (2nd) arbitrator. The Parties consent to the consolidation of arbitrations commenced hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.

The fees and expenses of the arbitration and other reasonable and documented costs of the party which has prevailed in such arbitration (the “Arbitration Fees”), including reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be borne as established by the arbitration panel. The Arbitration Fees payable by Parent (if any) shall be paid directly by Parent, and the Arbitration Fees payable by the Unitholder Representative (if any, solely on behalf of the Equityholders) shall be paid from the Expense Fund and the Purchase Price Holdback. To the extent the Expense Fund and the Purchase Price Holdback are insufficient or unavailable to cover all of the Arbitration Fees payable by the Unitholder Representative, Parent shall pay any such remaining Arbitration Fees and Parent shall be entitled to deduct such amounts from any amounts payable to the Payments Administrator on behalf of the Equityholders.

-13-

(g) Parent Actions. Until December 31, 2022, Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (including in respect of amount and timing of capital allocation) to achieve sales of the Company Products that will enable the Equityholders to achieve the maximum Earn-out Consideration. In no event shall Parent take any action primarily intended to avoid the payment of any Net Sales Growth Earn-Out Consideration or Net Sales Earn-Out Consideration becoming payable. Any dispute arising out of, resulting from or in connection with this Section 3.08(g) shall be exclusively and definitively resolved, without any recourse to appeal, by final and binding arbitration pursuant to Section 3.08(f).

(h) Enforcement of Earn-Out Covenant. The right and power to enforce this Section 3.08 against Parent shall reside entirely with the Unitholder Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders), and none of the Equityholders shall be entitled to bring, commence, continue or prosecute any claim, legal action or proceeding under, in relation to, arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Section 3.08 or otherwise claiming that after the Effective Time Parent has not complied with this Section 3.08.

(i) No Equityholder shall assign its interest in the Earn-Out Consideration to any Person without first notifying Parent and the Unitholder Representative of such transfer and the Aggregate Closing Payment Schedule shall be revised to reflect such permitted transfer and shall record the name of the transferee. No holder of Company RSUs shall assign its interest in Earn-Out Consideration to any Person other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

3.09 No Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no interest shall accumulate on any Per Unit Merger Consideration.

3.10 Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to the applicable Equityholder under this Agreement such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding. If Parent determines that withholding is required pursuant to this Section 3.10, Parent shall provide notice thereof to Unitholder Representative promptly following such determination. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to or deposited with the relevant Tax Authority by Parent in accordance with the foregoing, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Equityholder in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.11 Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Unitholder Representative a statement allocating the "fair market value" of the assets of the Company for all Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and the allocation methodology set forth on Schedule 3.11 attached hereto (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Such Purchase Price Allocation will be final if Parent does not receive an objection described in the following sentence. If, within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Purchase Price Allocation, the Unitholder Representative notifies Parent in writing that the Equityholders object to the allocation set forth in the Purchase Price Allocation together with the reasons, set forth in reasonable particularity, for such objection, Parent and the Unitholder Representative shall, within twenty (20) days of receiving such written notice, discuss possible resolutions of such dispute, and if they are able to do so, shall make such revisions to the Purchase Price Allocation to reflect such resolution, which shall be final and binding. In the event Parent and the Equityholders are unable to resolve such dispute within twenty (20) days, Parent and the Equityholders shall refer the matter to the Independent Accountant in accordance with the procedural principles of Section 3.07(c). Parent and the Equityholders agree (a) to be bound by the Purchase Price Allocation as ultimately determined hereunder, (b) to prepare and file their Tax Returns on a basis consistent with such Purchase Price Allocation as ultimately determined hereunder and (c) not to take any position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule as ultimately determined hereunder on any applicable Tax Return or in any proceeding before any Tax Authority, in each case except as required under applicable Tax Law. The payment of any Earn-Out Consideration and any other adjustments to the Final Aggregate Purchase Price after the Closing Date should be reflected in the Purchase Price Allocation in accordance with this Section 3.11.

(c) by Parent if there has been a breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that (x) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 and (y) if curable, is not cured prior to the earlier of (A) the Termination Date and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by Parent to the Company; or

Article X
INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect until the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company Fundamental Representations and the Parent Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to Section 4.14 and Section 4.18 shall survive in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, taking into account any tolling periods and other extensions; provided, further, that Parent shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates (including the Company) to waive or extend any such statute of limitations without the consent of the Unitholder Representative (each such survival period, a “Representations Survival Period”). All covenants of the Parties shall survive until performed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that a Representations Survival Period is a contractual statute of limitations that may be shorter than the statute of limitations otherwise available under Applicable Law and any claim brought by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X must be brought or filed prior to the expiration of the applicable Representations Survival Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if written notice of a claim has been given pursuant to this Article X prior to the applicable Representations Survival Period by the Person seeking indemnification for such claim, then the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements with respect to which such claim alleges a breach shall survive solely as and to the extent of such claim until such claim has been finally resolved pursuant to this Article X. Nothing contained in this Section 10.01 shall affect the rights of Parent under the R&W Policy.

-55-

(b) This Article X shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect (i) with respect to Section 10.02(a)(i) and Section 10.02(b)(i), so long as the relevant representations and warranties survive, (ii) with respect to Section 10.02(a)(ii) and Section 10.02(b)(ii), until such covenants are fully performed, (iii) with respect to Section 10.02(a)(iv), until twelve (12) months after the Closing, and (iv) with respect to Section 10.02(a)(iii) until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (including all applicable periods of extension) with respect to any claim arising thereunder.

(c) Notice of any assertion by any Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party is liable to it pursuant to Section 10.02 must be given to the Indemnifying Party in writing on or prior to the time of expiration of the relevant representation, warranty or covenant as set forth in this Section 10.01 or such claim will be forever barred. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall state the facts known to the asserting Indemnified Party that give rise to such notice in sufficient detail to allow the Indemnifying Party to evaluate the assertion.

10.02 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Unitholders shall (severally but not jointly, from the Indemnity Holdback and Special Indemnity Holdback and thereafter according to their Indemnification Pro Rata Share) indemnify and hold harmless Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates and Representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) against any liabilities, losses, Claims, Actions, judgments, orders, damages, expenses or costs, including reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses” and, individually, a “Loss”), that any of the foregoing suffers as a result of:

(i) any breach of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV of this Agreement or any failure of any such representation or warranty to be true and correct as of and as though made on the Closing Date (other than those expressly given as of a specified date prior to the date of this Agreement, for which the breach shall be determined as of such specified date);

(ii) any breach by the Company of any of the covenants or agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by the Company at or before the Closing;

(iii) any Indemnified Taxes;

(iv) any Payable Overstatement;

(v) the matters set forth on Section 10.02(a)(v) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Special Indemnity Matters”); and

-56-

(vi) the matters set forth on Section 10.02(a)(vi) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Special Indemnity Regulatory Matters”).

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, subsequent to the Closing Date, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Unitholder and their respective estate, heirs, Affiliates, Representatives, successors and permitted assigns against any Loss that any of the foregoing suffers as a result of:

(i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Article V of this Agreement or any failure of any such representation or warranty to be true and correct as of and as though made on the Closing Date (other than those expressly given as of a specified date prior to the date of this Agreement, for which the breach shall be determined as of such specified date); and

(ii) any breach by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Company of any of the covenants or agreements of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Company set forth in this Agreement.

10.03 Third-Party Claims. Except as provided otherwise in Section 6.10(b), the obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Party with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Parties shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Parties of any Third-Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Parties, stating the nature and basis of such Third-Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known, or a good-faith reasonable estimate of the Losses, and the method of computation of such Losses; provided, however, that so long as such written notice is given on or prior to the time of expiration of the relevant representation, warranty or covenant as set forth in Section 10.01, no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument.

(b) From and after receipt of notice of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.03(a), the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to assume and conduct, at their own expense, the defense against the Third-Party Claim in their own names or in the names of the Indemnified Parties. Any Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third-Party Claim and/or to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be included as part of any Loss incurred by the Indemnified Party and shall not be payable by the Indemnifying Parties. The Party or Parties conducting the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall keep the other Parties apprised of all significant developments with respect thereto and shall not enter into any settlement, compromise or consent to judgment with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle, compromise or consent to a judgment without the consent of the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim that only imposes monetary obligations that are paid by the Indemnifying Party and contains a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability thereunder. The Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance reasonably available and necessary for the defense of the Third-Party Claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. The Unitholder Representative shall be the sole party entitled to exercise any rights of the Unitholders with respect to Third-Party Claims under this Section 10.03.

-57-

10.04 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Other than in the case of any claims for breaches of Company Fundamental Representations, breaches of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.14, claims resulting from Fraud by or on behalf of the Company, claims pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(iii) (collectively, the “Special Losses”) or claims resulting from Special Indemnity Matters, as set forth in Section 10.04(e), the sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification available to any Parent Indemnified Parties shall be (i) first, the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback, and (ii) second, the R&W Policy to the extent covered thereby. Other than in the case of Special Losses, in no event will the Unitholders be liable hereunder for any indemnification claim for any amount in excess of the Indemnity Holdback. Parent, on behalf of itself and each other Parent Indemnified Party, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 10.04(a) shall apply and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether (a) Parent obtains at or following the Closing, or maintains following the Closing, the R&W Policy; (b) Parent amends, modifies, supplements, waives or terminates any provision of the R&W Policy; or (c) any claims are made by a Parent Indemnified Party under the R&W Policy and such claim is denied by the insurer.

(b) In connection with any indemnifiable claim arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any Special Losses, after Parent Indemnified Parties have exhausted or made claims upon all amounts held in the Indemnity Holdback (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification from the Indemnity Holdback made by Indemnified Parties), the sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification shall be (i) first, the R&W Policy to the extent covered thereby, and (ii) second (for the avoidance of doubt, only after there are no amounts available pursuant to (i) of this sentence), from each Unitholder for their Indemnification Pro Rata Share of the Special Losses; provided that in no event shall such Unitholder be liable for any amount in excess of the Per Unit Merger Consideration actually received by such Unitholder as of the time of such indemnifiable claim; provided, further, that any limitation of liability in this Section 10.04(b) with respect to an Unitholder shall not apply in the case of Fraud committed by such Unitholder.

(c) In connection with any indemnifiable claim arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any Payable Overstatement, after Parent Indemnified Parties have exhausted or made claims upon all amounts held in the Purchase Price Holdback, the sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification shall be from (i) first, the then-remaining balance of the Indemnity Holdback and (ii) second, the then-remaining balance of the Special Indemnity Holdback and (iii) third, each Unitholder for their Indemnification Pro Rata Share of the Payable Overstatement; provided, that in no event shall such Unitholder be liable for any amount in excess of the Per Unit Merger Consideration actually received by such Unitholder as of the time of such indemnifiable claim.

-58-

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in no event will the Unitholders be liable for any amounts taken into account in the calculation of Final Aggregate Purchase Price (including any amounts included in Closing Indebtedness) and (ii) in no event will any Unitholder be liable hereunder for any amount in excess of the Per Unit Merger Consideration actually received by such Unitholders, except with respect to Fraud committed by such Unitholder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, other than in the case of any claims resulting from Fraud by or on behalf of the Company (which shall be considered Special Losses for purposes of this Section 10.04), with respect to any Losses resulting from the Special Indemnity Matters, the sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification shall be from (i) first, the then-remaining balance of the Special Indemnity Holdback and (ii) second (for the avoidance of doubt, only after there are no amounts available pursuant to (i) of this sentence), from each Unitholder for their Indemnification Pro Rata Share of any Losses resulting from the Special Indemnity Matters.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, other than in the case of any claims resulting from Fraud by or on behalf of the Company (which shall be considered Special Losses for purposes of this Section 10.04), with respect to any Losses resulting from the Special Indemnity Regulatory Matters, the sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification shall be by making deductions from any amounts payable to Unitholders (or to the Payments Administrator on their behalf) pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Agreement, with such deductions not being greater, in the aggregate, than $750,000.

(g) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder or otherwise to reimbursement for Losses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall use all reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, however, any and all such direct and indirect reasonable costs and expenses related to such mitigation may be included with the Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article X.

(h) The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedies based on any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered with respect hereto will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge or information acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Party at any time (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any disclosures set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule), whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(i) Basket. A Parent Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Equityholders under this Article X for breaches of Non-Fundamental Representations unless the aggregate amount of the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders under this Article X for breaches of Non-Fundamental Representations (but for this Section 10.04(h)) exceeds $175,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Parent Indemnified Parties shall, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article X, be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses from the first dollar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket shall not apply to any indemnification obligations for Losses to the extent resulting from Fraud.

-59-

(j) For purposes of this Article X, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be determined, and the resulting determination of any Losses shall be calculated, without regard to any “materiality,” “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar materiality qualification with respect thereto; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to Section 4.10(b) or the terms “Material Contract”, “Material Contracts”, and “Material Product and Trial Information”.

(k) The amount of any and all Losses under this Article X will be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under insurance policies with respect to such Losses. If any Indemnified Party shall recover any duplicate Losses pursuant to indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under insurance policies or otherwise subsequent to recovering corresponding Losses from the Equityholders pursuant to this Article X, such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse and deliver the amount of such duplicate recovery to the Payments Administrator, and, immediately thereafter, Parent and the Unitholder Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Payments Administrator to deliver such amount promptly to the applicable Equityholders in accordance with this Agreement.

10.05 No Contribution. No Indemnifying Party or any of its employees or agents shall have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which they may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement in their capacity as an Unitholder.

10.06 Remedies Exclusive. The indemnification rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article X are the sole and exclusive remedies after the Closing available to the Indemnified Parties with respect to any claims or disputes arising between the Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the business of the Company, except as specified in this Article X with respect to Fraud; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall affect the rights of the Parties under (a) Section 11.14 with respect to any covenants to be performed by the Parties, (b) Section 3.06 or (c) Section 3.07; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 10.06 shall affect the rights of Parent under the R&W Policy.

10.07 Adjustment Characterization. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Article X after the Closing as an adjustment to the Final Aggregate Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws.

10.08 Damage Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Person shall be liable under this Article X for any punitive or exemplary damages other than any such damages that are recovered by a third party that is not an Affiliate of the applicable Indemnified Party in connection with a Third-Party Claim.

Article XI
MISCELLANEOUS

11.01 Unitholder Representative.

(a) The adoption of this Agreement by the Required Unitholder Approval, and the receipt of the benefits hereof, including the right to receive consideration payable in connection with the Merger, shall automatically and without any further action on the part of any Equityholder constitute the irrevocable appointment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for each of the Equityholders with respect to matters arising after the effectiveness of the Merger and for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto to be performed by the Unitholder Representative.

(b) Without limiting Section 11.01(a), the Unitholder Representative is hereby irrevocably appointed the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for each of the Equityholders for all purposes of this Agreement and the Payments Administrator Agreement, including full and sole power and authority on such Equityholders’ behalf, and in lieu of each Equityholders having the ability to take any of the following actions directly, to, after the Closing, (i) give and receive notices and communications, (ii) object to such deliveries, (iii) make claims on behalf of the Unitholders pursuant to Article X, (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of, courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, (v) take all actions necessary under Section 6.10, (vi) execute any instrument or document that the Unitholder Representative may determine is necessary or desirable in the exercise of its authority under this Section 11.01 and the Payments Administrator Agreement, and (vii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Unitholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Unitholder Representative may resign at any time with ten (10) days’ prior written notice. A vacancy in the position of Unitholder Representative shall be filled in the following order:

(i) By ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, if he is able and willing to serve; and

(ii) By a successor designated by the holders of a majority in interest of the Indemnity Holdback (a ”Unitholder Majority”); provided that such person was not an employee of the Company or Parent or any of its subsidiaries at the Effective Time (unless consented to in writing by Parent).

Promptly following any change in the Unitholder Representative as provided above, the successor Unitholder Representative shall notify Parent of the change and the successor's address and other contact information. No bond shall be required of the Unitholder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Unitholder Representative after the Closing shall constitute notice to or from each of the Equityholders.

-61-

(c) The Unitholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Unitholder Representative in connection with the Unitholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Unitholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Unitholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Equityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Unitholder 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 Unitholder 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 caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Unitholder Representative, the Unitholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Unitholder Representative will be entitled to reasonable compensation for his services (the "Unitholder Representative Fee"), which is initially established at a rate of $150 per hour, but not exceeding $7,500 per calendar quarter unless approved by a Unitholder Majority. If not paid directly to the Unitholder Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative Losses or Unitholder Representative Fee may be recovered by the Unitholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, (ii) the amounts in the Indemnity Holdback and (iii) the amounts in the Special Indemnity Holdback at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided that while this Section allows the Unitholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses or Unitholder Representative Fee as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Unitholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at Law or otherwise. In no event will the Unitholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Unitholder Representative under this Section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Unitholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement. Upon the Closing, Parent will wire to the Unitholder Representative an aggregate cash amount of $200,000 (the “Expense Fund Amount”), such amount to constitute an expense fund (the “Expense Fund”), which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Unitholder Representative for, the Unitholder Representative Fee and any third-party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the Payments Administrator Agreement. The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Unitholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Unitholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Unitholder Representative will hold these funds separate from his personal funds, will not use these funds for any personal purposes (except with respect to the Unitholder Representative Fee) and will not voluntarily make these funds available to his creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Contemporaneous with or as soon as practicable following the completion of the Unitholder Representative’s responsibilities, the Unitholder Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Payments Administrator, for further payment of the Per Unit Expense Fund Consideration in such proportions as required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders at the time of Closing.

-62-

11.02 Actions of the Unitholder Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Unitholder Representative shall constitute a decision of all Equityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Equityholders, and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Unitholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Equityholders. Parent is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Unitholder Representative.

11.03 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, excluding the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and, together with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, contains the sole and entire agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Non-Disclosure Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.04 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger.

11.05 Announcements. No press or other public announcement, or public statement or comment in response to any inquiry, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the terms hereof shall be issued or made by any Party without the joint approval of the other Parties (other than the Unitholder Representative); provided that a press release or other public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment made without such joint approval shall not be in violation of this Section 11.05 if it is made in order for the disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates to comply with Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules and in the reasonable judgment of the Party making such release or announcement, based upon advice of outside counsel, prior review and joint approval, despite reasonable efforts to obtain the same, would prevent dissemination of such release or announcement in a sufficiently timely fashion to comply with such Applicable Laws or rules; and provided, further, that in all instances prompt notice from one Party to the others shall be given with respect to any such release, announcement, statement or comment. Each Party shall inform its Affiliates that may be involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of the requirements set forth in this Section 11.05 and shall make reasonable efforts to obtain compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.05 from such Affiliates.

11.06 No Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Applicable Law.

Accordingly, Parent shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Company Counsel relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Company Counsel in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Equityholders and their respective Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (ii) Company Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company (or, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) or Parent by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Company Counsel and the Company or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Counsel shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of the Equityholders and their respective Affiliates; provided that such representatives, accounts and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney-client communications). Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) irrevocably waives any right it may have arising out of its ownership of the Company (including, after Closing, the Surviving Company) or the Merger to discover or obtain (or use, if discovered or obtained) information or documentation relating to the Acquisition Engagement, to the extent that such information or documentation was subject to an attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other expectation of confidentiality owed to the Company and/or its Affiliates. If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Company or its Affiliates and any Person representing them that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of the Equityholders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company), acknowledges and agrees that Company Counsel has acted as counsel for the Company and its respective Affiliates and that Company Counsel may represent the Unitholders, the Unitholder Representative and/or their respective Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company), expressly consents to Company Counsel’s representation of the Equityholders, the Unitholder Representative and/or their respective Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing Persons so desire) in any matter, including, without limitation, any post-Closing matter in which the interests of Parent and the Surviving Company, on the one hand, and the Equityholders, the Unitholder Representative or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether or not such matter is one in which Company Counsel may have previously advised the Company or its Affiliates.

-67-

(c) From and after the Closing, the Surviving Company shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Company Counsel, unless and to the extent Company Counsel is expressly engaged in writing by the Surviving Company to represent the Surviving Company after the Closing. Any such representation of the Surviving Company by Company Counsel after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof. Furthermore, Company Counsel, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to withdraw from representing the Surviving Company in order to represent the Equityholders.

(d) Each of the Parties to this Agreement consents to the arrangements in this Section 11.20 and waives any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by Company Counsel permitted hereunder.
