(b) After the Securityholder Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, Parent shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives to provide them with information used in preparing the Post-Closing Statement reasonably requested by the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives, and the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives shall be permitted to review Parent’s working papers and the working papers of Parent’s independent accountants, if any, relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of (i) the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Net Working Capital, the Unpaid Transaction Expenses and the calculation of the Initial Merger Consideration calculated based thereon and (ii) the Company TTM Revenue Target after signing a customary confidentiality and non-reliance agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent’s independent accountants, to the extent required by such accountants, which confidentiality and non-reliance agreement shall not prohibit the Securityholder Representative from communicating any such information with the Indemnifying Securityholders who have a need to know such information, provided that, any such recipients are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto, as well as the relevant books and records of the Company, and Parent shall cause the Company and its Representatives to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Securityholder Representative and its Representatives in their reasonable review of the Post-Closing Statement.

(c) The Securityholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Adjustment Disagreement”) within thirty (30) days of the Securityholder Representative’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”) if the Securityholder Representative disagrees with any portion of the Post-Closing Statement. The Notice of Adjustment Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Securityholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is received by Parent on or prior to the expiration date of the Adjustment Review Period, then the Post-Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Securityholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto and the Indemnifying Securityholders for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d) During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Adjustment Resolution Period”), if any, the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement. Any items agreed to by the Securityholder Representative and Parent in a written agreement executed and delivered by each of the Securityholder Representative and Parent, together with any items not disputed or objected to by the Securityholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.” If at the end of the Adjustment Resolution Period, the parties have been unable to resolve any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Securityholder Representative and Parent, or either of them, shall refer all matters in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement other than the Resolved Matters (the “Unresolved Matters”) to an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to the Securityholder Representative and Parent (the “Independent Accountant”). Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, will make a final determination, binding on the parties hereto for all purposes under this Agreement, of the appropriate amount of each of the Unresolved Matters. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Securityholder Representative or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Securityholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement or Parent in the Post-Closing Statement with respect to such Unresolved Matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any line items in the Post-Closing Statement or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the Unresolved Matters. During the review by the Independent Accountant, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Independent Accountant such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.13(d); provided, that the external accountants of Parent or the Company shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Independent Accountant unless and until the Independent Accountant has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Parent and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the disputed items covered by such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant (for example, if the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant equals One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and the Independent Accountant awards Six Hundred Dollars ($600) in favor of the Securityholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders)).

(e) The “Final Closing Statement” shall be (i) in the event that no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.13(a), (ii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Securityholder Representative are able to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.13(a) as adjusted pursuant to the written agreement executed and delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Securityholder Representative (email being sufficient) or (iii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Securityholder Representative are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Post-Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Securityholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.13(a) as adjusted by the Independent Accountant to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Independent Accountant of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with Section 2.13(d). The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.13(e) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” The Final Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and the Company Securityholders for all purposes under this Agreement.

(f) If the amount of the Initial Merger Consideration as set forth in the Final Closing Statement (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.13) is less than the amount of the amount of the Estimated Initial Merger Consideration as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement (after giving effect to any revisions thereto in accordance with Section 2.12) (such difference, the “Post-Closing Surplus Amount”), then, within three (3) Business days of such determination, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver (i) to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Amount an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Surplus Amount, and in the event the Adjustment Escrow Amount is less than the absolute value of the Post-Closing Surplus Amount, from the Indemnity Escrow Amount, an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the absolute value of the Post-Closing Surplus Amount exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and (ii) to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule) the remaining portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, if any. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that the absolute value of the Post-Closing Surplus Amount exceeds the sum of the Adjustment Escrow Amount plus the Indemnity Escrow Amount (such excess, the “Remaining Surplus Amount”), Parent shall be entitled to recover the Remaining Surplus Amount by offsetting the Remaining Surplus Amount against any Earnout Consideration that has been finally determined to be earned and payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 2.14 as of such time.

(g) If the amount of the Initial Merger Consideration as set forth in the Final Closing Statement (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.13) is greater than the amount of the Estimated Initial Merger Consideration as set forth in the Closing Statement (after giving effect to any revisions thereto in accordance with Section 2.12) (such difference, the “Post-Closing Deficit Amount”), then, within three (3) Business days of such determination, (i) Parent shall pay to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders, in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Deficit Amount and (ii) Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule) an amount in cash equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount.

2.14 Earnout Consideration.

(a) Not later than sixty (60) days following the end of each of the First TTM Period and the Second TTM Period, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholder Representative a written statement (each, a “TTM Revenue Statement”), setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of Company TTM Revenue for the TTM Period then ended, together with a calculation of the applicable Earnout Consideration payable in respect of the applicable TTM Period, in each case, in accordance with the illustrative calculation set forth on Schedule 2.14 hereto (the “Illustrative Calculation of Company TTM Revenue”).

(b) If the Securityholder Representative disagrees with the calculations in any TTM Revenue Statement, the Securityholder Representative shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (a “Revenue Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of such TTM Revenue Statement. A Revenue Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (A) any item on the applicable TTM Revenue Statement which the Securityholder Representative in good faith disputes and (B) the Securityholder Representative’s alternative calculation of Company TTM Revenue for the applicable TTM Period. Any item or amount that the Securityholder Representative does not dispute in reasonable detail in a Revenue Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Securityholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto and the Indemnifying Securityholders for all purposes under this Agreement. In the event that a Revenue Dispute Notice is timely provided in accordance with the foregoing, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) seek in good faith to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations included in such TTM Revenue Statement that were disputed in the Revenue Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such period, Parent and the Securityholder Representative remain unable to resolve the dispute in its entirety, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall submit the dispute to the Independent Accountant to be resolved in accordance with Section 2.13(d) mutatis mutandis. The parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.14(b) for resolving disputes with respect to any TTM Revenue Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that, this provision shall not prohibit any party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Independent Accountant. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall constitute an arbitration award for purposes of the Federal Arbitration Act and any comparable state Laws.

(c) Following the final determination of Company TTM Revenue for the applicable TTM Period, subject to Parent’s right to set off provided in Section 8.6, the following additional consideration shall be payable to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule:

(i) An amount in cash equal to sixty five percent (65%) of the amount, if any, by which the Company TTM Revenue attributable to the First TTM Period exceeds the Company TTM Revenue Target (the “First TTM Earnout Amount”); and

(ii) An amount in cash equal to sixty five percent (65%) of the amount, if any, by which the Company TTM Revenue attributable to the Second TTM Period exceeds the Company TTM Revenue attributable to the First TTM Period (the “Second TTM Earnout Amount,” and together with the First TTM Earnout Amount, the “Earnout Consideration”).

(d) Subject to the final determination of the amount of Company TTM Revenue for the applicable TTM Period pursuant to Section 2.14(b), within 30 days of such final determination, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule), by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount in cash equal to, as applicable, (i) the First TTM Earnout Amount, if any, and (ii) the Second TTM Earnout Amount, if any.

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that, no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall have entered into a non-binding annual business plan (the “Business Plan”) establishing the guidelines upon which Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall operate the Company Business during the First TTM Period and which Business Plan shall be revised by Parent, as needed, to establish the guidelines upon which Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall operate the Company Business during the Second TTM Period, which revised version of the Business Plan shall have been provided to Securityholder Representative no later than fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the Second TTM Period and Parent shall consider any comments from Securityholder Representative in good faith (for greater certainty, Parent’s determination as to any changes to be made to the Business Plan based on its sole reasonable business judgment shall control); provided, that the above notwithstanding, Parent shall have the freedom to operate the Surviving Corporation (and through the Surviving Corporation, the Company Business) in its sole discretion, and none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor their respective Affiliates shall have any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) or obligations to any Indemnifying Securityholder in respect of Earnout Consideration other than those expressly set forth in this Section 2.14. The parties further acknowledge that there is no assurance to any Company Securityholder of any Earnout Consideration and neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation has promised or projected any Earnout Consideration; provided that, Parent covenants and agrees that it will (i) not take any action in bad faith or otherwise unduly interfere with the operation of the Company Business solely for the purpose of avoiding payment of any Earnout Consideration, (ii) upon the Securityholder Representative’s reasonable advance request, meet with the Securityholder Representative during normal business hours, once every three consecutive months during the TTM Periods, and (iii) notify the Securityholder Representative of any changes to the Business Plan that would reasonably be expected to materially impact the rights of Company Securityholders under this Agreement and consider any objections thereto in good faith, provided that, Parent shall retain sole discretion to operate the business as it deems appropriate in accordance with this Section 2.14(e).

(f) For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, any Earnout Consideration shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Merger Consideration (subject to any imputation of interest required under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.15 ERC Tax Refund. If the Surviving Corporation receives the ERC Tax Refund after the Closing Date, as soon as is reasonably practicable after receipt of such ERC Tax Refund, Parent, for and all behalf of the of the Surviving Corporation, shall, except to the extent such ERC Tax Refund was taken into account in the final determination of the Initial Merger Consideration, pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule), by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount in cash equal to, as applicable, the aggregate amount of the ERC Tax Refund, net of any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any Affiliate thereof, attributable to such ERC Tax Refund. If the initial payment of the ERC Tax Refund to the Surviving Corporation is less than the full amount of the ERC Tax Refund, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay each Company Stockholder his, her or its applicable Per Share Future Payment, if any, in respect of such distribution of such portion of the ERC Tax Refund in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule. To the extent the ERC Tax Refund (or any portion thereof) is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Authority, the Company Securityholders agree to promptly repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Authority (the “Disallowed Tax Refund”), to Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to amend any Tax Return in respect of this Section 2.15.

2.16 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Effective Time, Parent reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers and directors are hereby authorized to execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

(p) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries uses and has always used the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes.

(q) Each “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under which the Company makes, is obligated to make or promises to make, payments subject to Section 409A of the Code, if any, has, since the inception of the Company, been operated and maintained in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and the applicable Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance thereunder so as to avoid any Tax pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and the document or documents that evidence each such plan have, since the incorporation of the Company, conformed to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. No payment pursuant to any arrangement between the Company and any “service provider” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) would subject any Person to a Tax pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, whether pursuant to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. No Company Employee Plan or other Contract provides a gross-up, reimbursement or other indemnification for any Tax or related interest or penalty that may be imposed for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(r) All Company Options have been authorized by the board of directors of the Company or an appropriate committee thereof, and, if required, approved by stockholders of the Company by the necessary number of votes or written consent, including approval of the option exercise price or the methodology for determining the Company Option exercise price and the substantive option terms. Each Company Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code so qualifies. No Company Option has been retroactively granted, or the exercise price of any Company Option determined retroactively. No Company Option or other right to acquire Company Common Stock or other equity of the Company (A) has an exercise price that has been or may be less than the fair market value of a share of the underlying stock as of the date such Company Option or right was granted as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, (B) has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such Company Option or right, or (C) has been granted with respect to any class of stock of the Company that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder).

(s) The Company has never entered into any Contract or maintained any Company Employee Plan that could give rise to payments with respect to the performance of services that are nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code or subject to the excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code, and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby could (either alone or upon occurrence of any additional event) (i) result in, or cause the accelerated vesting, payment, funding or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any employee, officer, director, consultant, independent contractor or other service provider of the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates; (ii) result in any “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (whether or not such payment is considered to be reasonable compensation for services rendered), (iii) result in the forgiveness of any Indebtedness for borrowed money; or (iv) limit the right of the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Company Employee Plan or related trust. There is no Company Employee Plan or other Contract by which the Company is bound to compensate any employee of the Company or other service provider of the Company for any excise Tax or related interest or penalty paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

No representation or warranty contained in this Section 3.7, other than those in paragraphs (h), (i), (k), (n) and (p) shall be deemed to apply with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or to any transactions entered into by the Company after the Closing.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever, or has ever been deemed to have for purposes of any Law, in a transaction with any Related Party or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective Affiliates, (A) disposed of property for proceeds less than the fair market value thereof, (B) performed services for consideration other than the fair market value thereof, or (C) paid interest or any other amount other than at a fair market value rate to any Person with whom it does not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of applicable Tax Laws.

A Claim Notice may be updated and amended from time to time by the Indemnified Party by delivering an updated or amended Claim Notice to the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, so long as such update or amendment only asserts bases for Losses reasonably related to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claim Notice. All Claims properly set forth in an original Claim Notice or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such Claims for Losses have been finally resolved or satisfied.

(b) During the thirty (30) Business Day period commencing upon receipt by the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, of a Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party (the “Dispute Period”), the Securityholder Representative may deliver to the Indemnified Party, with a copy to Parent, a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause “(ii)” or “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Securityholder Representative’s or Parent’s claim, as applicable, that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, as the case may be (any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the Indemnified Party’s Claim Notice being referred to as the “Contested Amount”). If a Response Notice is not received by the Indemnified Party from the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Securityholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, or Parent, as applicable, shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party.

(c) If no Response Notice is received by the Indemnified Party from the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party may seek recovery for the Claimed Amount in accordance with Article 8 hereof, and if the claim was submitted prior to the Expiration Date, then with respect to a Claimed Amount from a Parent Indemnified Party, Parent and Securityholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Claimed Amount to the Parent Indemnified Party and with respect to a Claimed Amount from a Stockholder Indemnified Party, Parent shall, within thirty (30) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Period, pay the Claimed Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. If the claim was submitted following the Expiration Date, then with respect to a Claimed Amount from a Parent Indemnified Party, the Securityholder Representative shall, within thirty (30) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Period, notify the Indemnifying Securityholders (via email to the email addresses provided to the Securityholder Representative) to pay the Claimed Amount to the Parent Indemnified Party.

(d) If the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, in the Response Notice agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party (such part of the Claimed Amount that is so agreed, the “Agreed Amount”), then the Indemnified Party may seek recovery for the Agreed Amount in accordance with Article 8 hereof, and with respect to an Agreed Amount due to a Parent Indemnified Party, Parent and Securityholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Agreed Amount to the Parent Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days following such notification from Parent and the Securityholder Representative or the expiration of the Dispute Period, and notify the Indemnifying Securityholders (via email to the email addresses provided to the Securityholder Representative) to pay the Agreed Amount to the Indemnified Party.

(e) If any Response Notice expressly indicates that there is a Contested Amount, the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If (i) the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, and the Indemnified Party resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, the Indemnifying Securityholders and such Indemnified Party and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to such Indemnified Party shall be signed by such Indemnified Party, or (ii) any Losses are determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed to any Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article 8 (in each case, such amount, the “Owed Amount”) then the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, and the Indemnified Party may seek recovery for the Agreed Amount in accordance with Article 8 hereof, and with respect to an Owed Amount due to a Parent Indemnified Party, Parent and Securityholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Owed Amount to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days following such notification from Parent and the Securityholder Representative or the expiration of the Dispute Period, notify the Indemnifying Securityholders (via email to the email addresses provided to the Securityholder Representative) to pay the Owed Amount to the Indemnified Party.

(f) In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Claim Notice or Contested Amount (whether it is a matter between the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, on the other hand, or it is a matter that is subject to a claim or Third-Party Claim brought against the Indemnified Party or the Company in a litigation or arbitration), an Action to resolve such dispute may be brought in accordance with Section 10.1.

(g) If the resolution of the Action to resolve a Claim Notice results in some portion of the Contested Amount being payable to Parent, Parent and Securityholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release that amount of the award specified in the court’s decision to the Indemnified Party, or, if permitted pursuant to the terms hereof, within thirty (30) Business Days following such notification from Parent and the Securityholder Representative or such other period of time as may be set forth in the court’s decision, notify the Indemnifying Securityholders (via email to the email addresses provided to the Securityholder Representative) to pay the amount of the award specified in the court’s decision, if any, to the Indemnified Party.

8.6 Payment of Claims. If an Indemnified Party is owed an Owed Amount, then such Indemnified Party may seek recovery from any source available to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, provided that, with respect to an Agreed Amount or Owed Amount pursuant to a claim arising under Section 8.2, (i) a Parent Indemnified Party must first seek to recover from the R&W Insurance Policy (to the extent recovery is available therefrom) or the Escrow Funds (to the extent recovery is not available under the R&W Insurance Policy due to the application of any deductible or retention thereunder) pursuant to joint written instructions executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Securityholder Representative and delivered to the Escrow Agent, (ii) second, if recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy is not available and the amounts remaining in the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover the full Owed Amount, or if all of the Escrow Funds have been previously released to Parent or released to the Indemnifying Securityholders, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 8.4, Parent may offset the Owed Amount from any Earnout Consideration that has been finally determined to be earned and payable to the Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 2.14 as of such time, and (iii) third, if there is no Earnout Consideration that has been finally determined to be earned and payable to the Company Securityholders, such Parent Indemnified Party may request the Indemnifying Securityholders to pay in cash such Indemnifying Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Owed Amount to such Parent Indemnified Party.

8.7 Defense and Settlement of Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that such Indemnified Party in good faith believes may result in a Claim by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve such Third-Party Claim. The applicable Indemnified Party shall notify the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, of any such Third-Party Claim, and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders) or Parent, as applicable, shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third-Party Claim. The Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to Parent or any Indemnified Party and subject to execution of a standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or proprietary information. The reasonable costs and expenses incurred or paid by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees, costs of investigation and court or arbitration costs) of any such Third-Party Claim, and the reasonable amounts paid or incurred in the settlement or other resolution of any such Third-Party Claim, are recoverable by the Indemnified Party as Losses pursuant to this Section 8.7 regardless of the outcome of such Third-Party Claim, subject to the limitations on recovery in Section 8.4. Any amounts required to be paid or incurred by an Indemnified Party pursuant to the final determination of a Governmental Authority presiding over any such Third-Party Claim shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this Section 8.7.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if (A) the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, fails to notify the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any Claim Notice of a Third-Party Claim that the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms hereunder, (B) the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms hereunder but, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, has failed to diligently prosecute or settle the Third-Party Claim, (C) such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or alleges a criminal violation, (D) the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that if Indemnified Party and the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, are represented by the same counsel, it would result in a conflict of interest for such counsel or prejudice the prosecution of the defenses available to the Indemnified Party, (E) the amount in dispute exceeds the maximum amount for which an Indemnifying Securityholder could be liable pursuant to this Section 8.7 in light of the limitations on indemnification herein, (F) the Securityholder Representative or Parent, as applicable, does not agree in writing that the Indemnifying Securityholders or Parent, as applicable, is obligated to pay for any Losses arising from or related to such Third-Party Claim (subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 8.4), or (G) the Third-Party Claim involves a customer, supplier or other material business relationship of the Company, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, subject to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Securityholders or Parent, as applicable, the Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled, subject to the limitations on settlement by the Indemnified Party set forth in this Agreement and subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Securityholders or Parent, as applicable, under this Agreement.

8.8 Escrow Funds. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Expiration Date, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall, subject to Section 8.9, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver the remaining Escrow Funds less the portion of the Escrow Funds having a value equal to the amount that Parent reasonably determines may be necessary to satisfy all unresolved, unsatisfied Claims specified in any Claim Notices delivered to the Securityholder Representative before the Expiration Date (collectively, “Unresolved Claims”, and such amount determined by Parent, the “Unreleased Escrow Amount”) to the Paying Agent, for further distribution of such funds to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule. If there are any Unresolved Claims as of the Expiration Date, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Unreleased Escrow Amount until all such Claims have been resolved and all amounts owed to the Company Securityholders satisfied therefrom, at which time Parent shall cause the remaining portion of the Unreleased Escrow Amount, if any, to be delivered to the Company Securityholders in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule.

8.9 Payment of Escrow Funds. With respect to any portion of the Escrow Funds to be released to Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 8.8, if any Company Securityholder has not satisfied the Payment Condition prior to the date on which a portion of the Escrow Funds is to be released or paid to such Company Securityholder, then any portion of the Escrow Funds that would otherwise be released or paid to such Company Securityholder shall be held by Parent or the Paying Agent, without interest, until such Company Securityholder satisfies the Payment Condition.

8.10 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. All payments (if any) made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligations under this Article 8 or pursuant to Article 9 will be treated as adjustments to the Total Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.

8.11 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except for (a) claims for Fraud and (b) claims for equitable relief, the rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement under this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Securityholders or Parent, as applicable, with respect to breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall be deemed to limit the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Party under any Contract, other than this Agreement, entered into by Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Joinder Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby.

8.12 Appointment of Securityholder Representative.

(a) By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including any consideration payable hereunder, each Indemnifying Securityholder shall be deemed to have approved the designation of and hereby designates the Securityholder Representative, as of the Closing, as the representative of the Company Securityholders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Indemnifying Securityholder with respect to Claims under this Article 8 and the taking by the Securityholder Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Securityholder Representative in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnifying Securityholder) relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby, including, for the avoidance of doubt, notifying the Advisory Committee (as defined in that certain Engagement Letter by and among the Securityholder Representative and certain Indemnifying Securityholders) in respect of transactions and other matters contemplated hereby that materially affect the rights and obligations of the Company Securityholders (ii) authorize Parent and any other applicable Indemnified Party to be indemnified, compensated or reimbursed for Losses, including through the permanent retention by Parent of all or any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, set-off against Earnout Considerationor direct recovery from Indemnifying Securityholders, in satisfaction of Claims by Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8 (including by not objecting to such Claims), (iii) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand litigation of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to (A) Claims by Parent or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8 or (B) any dispute between any Parent Indemnified Party and any such Company Securityholder, in each case, relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions or other matters contemplated hereby and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Securityholder Representative shall have authority and power to act on behalf of each Company Securityholder with respect to the disposition, settlement or other handling of all Claims under this Article 8 and all rights or obligations arising under this Article 8. The Company Securityholders (including each of the Indemnifying Securityholders) and their respective successors, heirs, estates and assigns shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Securityholder Representative in connection with this Article 8, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the other Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Securityholder Representative. The Indemnifying Securityholders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in this Section 8.12(a) and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholder Representative hereunder: (1) are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable; (2) may be delegated by the Securityholder Representative; and (3) shall survive the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy or winding up of each of the Company Securityholders (including each of the Indemnifying Securityholders) and shall be binding on any successor thereto. Each Company Securityholder (x) agrees that all actions taken by the Securityholder Representative under this Agreement shall be binding upon such Company Securityholder and such Company Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Securityholder and (y) waives any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement. The Securityholder Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Securityholder Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Securityholder Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Securityholder Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. Parent may conclusively rely, without independent verification or investigation, upon any action of the Securityholder Representative as being the binding decision or action of the Indemnifying Securityholders, and Parent shall not be liable to any Company Securityholder or any other Person for any actions taken or omitted from being taken by them or by Parent in accordance with or reliance upon any decision or action of the Securityholder Representative. The Person serving as the Securityholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Total Merger Consideration payable to the Company Securityholders. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Stockholders.

(b) The Securityholder Representative will incur no Liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Securityholders shall indemnify the Securityholder Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, Liabilities and expenses (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, 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 caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Company Securityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders; provided, that while the Securityholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Securityholders 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 Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) The Securityholder Representative represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as follows: (i) the Securityholder Representative is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other applicable Contract, instrument or document contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Securityholder Representative of this Agreement and any other applicable Contract, instrument or document contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Securityholder Representative and no other act or proceeding on the part of the Securityholder Representative is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other applicable Contract, instrument or document contemplated hereby, (iii) this Agreement and any other applicable Contract, instrument or document contemplated hereby has been duly executed and delivered by the Securityholder Representative and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Securityholder Representative, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to the laws of agency) and (iv) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other applicable Contract, instrument or document contemplated hereby by the Securityholder Representative nor the consummation of the Merger will conflict with, or result in a termination, breach, impairment or violation of, the organizational or other governing documents of the Securityholder Representative.

(d) The Securityholder Representative shall use the Expense Fund to pay any expenses incurred by the Securityholder Representative in fulfilling its obligations in connection herewith and shall deliver any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further delivery to the Indemnifying Securityholders upon completion by the Securityholder Representative of its duties in connection herewith, with each Indemnifying Securityholders to receive his, her or its applicable Per Share Future Payment, if any, in respect of such distribution of such portion of the Expense Fund in accordance with the applicable Future Payment Allocation Schedule. The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholder 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. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Indemnifying Securityholders at the time of Closing.

9. TAX MATTERS

9.1 Tax Returns. Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are due after the Closing Date (the “Parent Prepared Returns”) in a manner consistent with past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Each Parent Prepared Return that is an income Tax Return shall be submitted to Securityholder Representative for its review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Parent Prepared Return (taking into account applicable extensions). Parent shall incorporate any reasonable comments made by the Securityholder Representative in such Parent Prepared Return prior to filing. In the event the Securityholder Representative and Parent cannot resolve a dispute with respect to this Section 9.1, the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accountants in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(d).

9.2 Tax Contests. Each party hereto shall notify each other after acquiring knowledge of any inquiry, claim, audit, assessment, proceeding or similar event with respect to any Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (any such inquiry, claim, audit, assessment, proceeding or similar event, a “Tax Contest”). Any failure to so notify the Securityholder Representative of any Tax Contest shall not relieve the Company Stockholders of any Liability with respect to such Tax Contest except to the extent that such failure shall have materially prejudiced the defense of such Tax Contest. Parent shall control any Tax Contest; provided, however, that, with respect to any Tax Contest that would be reasonably expected to result in material Pre-Closing Taxes for which the Company Securityholders are liable, (i) Parent shall keep the Securityholder Representative reasonably informed of the progress of such Tax Contest, (ii) the Securityholder Representative shall be permitted to fully participate in any such Tax Contest at the Company Stockholders’ expense and (iii) Parent shall not settle, compromise or abandon such Tax Contest without the Securityholder Representative’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of a conflict between this Section 9.2 and Section 8.7, this Section 9.2 shall control.

9.3 Cooperation. Parent and the Securityholder Representative agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Parent, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Parent, the Company and the Securityholder Representative shall each retain all books and records in their possession with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Securityholder Representative be entitled to review or otherwise have access to any Tax Return, or information related thereto, of Parent or its Affiliates (other than Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods).

9.4 Straddle Period. In the case of any Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that relate to a Straddle Period, (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, sales or use Taxes, employment Taxes, or withholding Taxes relating to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership, other pass through entity or any non-U.S. entity owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and (ii) the amount of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

9.5 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, VAT and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne by the Company Stockholders. The Company Stockholders agree to file or cause to be filed in a timely manner all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts for which the Company Stockholders are so liable. The Company Stockholders shall provide Parent with evidence satisfactory to Parent that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Company Stockholders.

9.6 Post-Closing Tax Actions. From and after the Closing, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Parent and its Affiliates shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) amend any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or initiate any voluntary disclosure agreement, engage in any voluntary compliance procedures or make any other similar voluntary contact with any Governmental Authority with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make any Tax election with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that has effect for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any election under Section 338 of the Code or similar election, or (iii) waive or extend the period applicable to any claim or assessment of Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Parent may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or to any Person who acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or a majority of the outstanding voting securities of Parent (whether by merger, consolidation, share purchase or otherwise) without the prior consent of any other party hereto.

10.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto.

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as signatories.

10.5 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by Law or equity on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. The parties hereto agree that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or otherwise (without posting a bond or other security) to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any State having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto at any time before or after any approval hereof by the stockholders of the Company and Merger Sub; provided, however, that after the receipt of Written Consents constituting the Stockholder Approval, no amendment shall be made that requires further approval by the Company Stockholders under the DGCL without obtaining such requisite approval.

(b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company (in the case of Parent or Merger Sub) or Parent (in the case of the Company), and at any time after the Effective Time, the Securityholder Representative (in the case of Parent or the Surviving Corporation) or Parent (in the case of the Securityholder Representative), may, to the extent not legally prohibited, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereunder, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.

Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision in this Agreement. No single or partial exercise by a party hereto of its rights under this Agreement will be deemed to preclude any other or further exercise of such party’s rights under this Agreement.

10.9 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.9.

10.10 Interpretation; Rules of Construction. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole (including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules hereto), and when a reference is made in this Agreement to Annexes, Exhibits, Schedules, Sections or Articles, such reference shall be to an Annex, Exhibit or Schedule to, or Section or Article of, this Agreement, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “asset” or “property” shall be construed as having the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all assets and properties, real and personal, tangible and intangible. When a reference is made to a specific law, act or statute, such reference shall include any regulations promulgated thereunder. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument, or statute, in each case, as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented (in the case of agreements or instruments, if permitted under this Agreement), including in the case of statutes by succession or comparable successor statutes; provided that any reference to any agreement or instrument on the Company Disclosure Schedule or on any Schedule to this Agreement shall not refer to any amendment, modification or supplement thereto unless expressly set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule or such other Schedule. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The terms defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include plural as well as the singular. Accounting terms not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to them in accordance with GAAP. Pronouns of either gender or neuter shall include, as appropriate, the other pronoun forms. Unless stated otherwise, the terms “dollars” and “$” shall mean United States dollars. Any action required by the terms hereof to be taken on a specific day that is not a Business Day shall instead be required to be taken on the next succeeding Business Day, and if the last day of a time period specified herein is a non-Business Day, such period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any reference to any document or information having been “made available” by the Company shall only include any such document or information that has been posted in the Virtual Data Room and as to which Parent and its Representatives have been provided written notice and full access by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to the execution of this Agreement and that has remained available to Parent and its Representatives through the Closing.

10.11 Company Disclosure Schedule. The parties agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties of the Company that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties of the Company that are contained in any other Section of Article 3, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of a disclosure, without any independent knowledge of the subject matter thereof or the contents of any documents referenced therein, that such exception or disclosure is applicable to such other section or subsection. For all purposes of this Agreement, each disclosure set forth in a particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by the Company in the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement.

10.12 Agreement Binding on the Parties; Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person (other than the Indemnified Parties) any legal or equitable rights, benefits, or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.13 Public Announcement. Parent may issue such press releases, and make such other public announcements and disclosures relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby as it determines are required under applicable securities Laws or regulatory or stock exchange rules or as it deems otherwise appropriate. Neither the Company nor the Securityholder Representative shall, and each shall cause its respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, issue any press releases or make any public announcements or disclosures relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without Parent’s prior written consent.

10.14 Confidentiality.

(a) The parties acknowledge that the Company and Parent previously have executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the Effective Time, at which time, and without further action by any party hereto, it shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided that nothing in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to restrict Parent’s rights under Section 10.13. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) The Securityholder Representative ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to hold this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all information received by the Securityholder Representative with respect hereto or thereto or in connection herewith (including any information obtained with respect to any Claims), in confidence and not disclose the existence or terms hereof or any such information to any third party (other than as required by law or to the Indemnifying Securityholders or legal counsel, advisors and representatives of the Securityholder Representative, in each case solely to the extent necessary to perform its obligations hereunder and only if such Persons are subject to an obligation to keep such information confidential).

10.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Company Ancillary Agreements, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Ancillary Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Merger Sub Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto or thereto. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

10.16 Waiver of Conflict of Interest; Privileged Communications.

(a) Recognizing that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, P.C. (the “Firm”) has acted as legal counsel to the Securityholder Representative and its Affiliates and the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and that the Firm intends to act as legal counsel to the Securityholder Representative and its Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company) after the Closing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with the Firm representing the Securityholder Representative or its Affiliates (or any of the Company Securityholders) after the Closing as such representation may relate to Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the transactions contemplated hereby (including in respect of litigation, including litigation adverse to Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation), and hereby consents to any such representation. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between the Securityholder Representative, its Affiliates or the Company, on the one hand, and the Firm, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the sale process related hereto (the “Acquisition Engagement”) shall be deemed to be the attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Securityholder Representative and its Affiliates (and not the Company). Accordingly, the Surviving Corporation shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of the Firm relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Securityholder Representative and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privileges with respect to the Acquisition Engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of the Firm in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Securityholder Representative and its Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights and (iii) the Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications of files to the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Firm and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arise between Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement), on the other hand, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation may assert any attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of any such communications with the Firm to such third party; provided, that the Surviving Corporation may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(b) Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim that the Company may have in its capacity as a client against the Firm in respect of legal services provided to the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Closing by the Firm in respect of the Acquisition Engagement, it being agreed that any such claims belong solely to the Securityholder Representative and its Affiliates, and not the Company.

(c) From and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with the Firm in respect of the Acquisition Engagement or otherwise, unless and to the extent the Firm is expressly engaged in writing by Parent or the Surviving Corporation after the Closing.
