STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of February 24, 2016 (herein, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, referred to as this “Agreement”) by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Technologies, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the “Seller”), and General Atomics, a California corporation (the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined or otherwise referenced in Section 9.1 of this Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Miltec Corporation, an Alabama corporation (the “Company”); and

WHEREAS, the Seller wishes to sell, and the Buyer wishes to purchase, the Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged), the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

Section 1.1 Sale of Shares. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller will sell, assign and transfer to the Buyer, and the Buyer will purchase and acquire, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, for the Purchase Price set forth in Section 1.2.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price and Payment for the Shares. The aggregate purchase price for all of the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) is Fourteen Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,600,000.00), as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3. The Buyer will pay to the Seller at the Closing (the “Closing Amount”) an amount equal to (i) the Purchase Price plus or minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount determined in accordance with Section 1.3(a).

Section 1.3 Purchase Price Adjustment. (a) Preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer, the following, together with reasonable supporting documents and information, a balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) setting forth (i) its good faith estimate of (A) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (B) Company Cash (the “Estimated Company Cash”), and (C) the Company Debt (the “Estimated Company Debt”) and (ii) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. For purposes of this Agreement, “Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount” shall mean an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (1) the Estimated Net Working Capital minus the Target Working Capital plus (2) the Estimated Company Cash minus (3) the Estimated Company Debt. If the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased by the amount of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. If the Estimated

Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles on a basis consistent with the past practices of the Company. An example of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 1.3(a). The Parties acknowledge and agree that solely for purposes of calculating the Estimated Net Working Capital, Closing Net Working Capital and the Final Closing Adjustment Amount, the accrued liability in respect of all Government Audit Matter Losses shall be $322,000.00, irrespective of any Party’s assessment of the appropriate reserve in respect of such losses.

(b) Preparation of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (but not later than sixty (60) days thereafter), the Buyer will prepare a post-closing balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein) (the “Post-Closing Balance Sheet”) setting forth (i) the Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (ii) Company Cash (the “Closing Company Cash”), and (iii) the Company Debt (the “Closing Company Debt”). The Post-Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles on a basis consistent with the past practices of the Company.

(c) Review of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet. On or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Post-Closing Balance Sheet, together with reasonable supporting documents and information. The Seller and the Seller’s independent accountants may review the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and may make inquiry of the Buyer and its Representatives and shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda, books and records and other documents of the Company and/or prepared by the Buyer relating to the Post-Closing Balance Sheet within the Buyer’s possession or control. The Post-Closing Balance Sheet shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, the Seller unless the Seller shall have notified the Buyer in writing of any objections thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.3(c) within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet to the Seller. The written notice delivered by the Seller to the Buyer under this Section 1.3(c) shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the Post-Closing Balance Sheet that the Seller disputes, a summary of the reasons for such dispute and the portion of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet, if any, which the Seller does not dispute.

(d) Disputes. Disputes between the Buyer and the Seller relating to the Post-Closing Balance Sheet that cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Buyer of the notice referred to in Section 1.3(c) may be referred thereafter for decision at the insistence of either the Buyer or Seller to Ernst & Young LLP or any nationally recognized independent accounting firm agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller (the “Arbiter”). The Buyer and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter, no later than thirty (30) days after its acceptance of its appointment as Arbiter, to determine, based solely on written presentations by the Buyer and the Seller and not by independent review, those items in dispute on the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and to render a written report as to the resolution of each disputed item and the resulting calculation of the Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbiter shall be limited to correcting mathematical errors and determining whether the items and

amounts in dispute were determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Arbiter is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether the Target Working Capital or any estimates on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet are correct, adequate or sufficient In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The Arbiter shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Arbiter as provided in this Section 1.3(d) shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the Parties against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes arising out of or relating to the Post-Closing Balance Sheet or the Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet. The Arbiter’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on all of the Parties and shall be enforceable in a court of law. The fee of the Arbiter shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Arbiter, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Arbiter at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each Party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and preparation or review of any notice of objection delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(c), as applicable, shall be borne by such Party.

(e) Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet. The Post-Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the Parties upon the earliest of (i) the failure by the Seller to object thereto within the period permitted under, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of, Section 1.3(c), (ii) the written agreement between the Buyer and the Seller with respect thereto, and (iii) the decision by the Arbiter with respect to disputes under Section 1.3(d). The Post-Closing Balance Sheet, as deemed to be agreed pursuant to clause (i) above, or as adjusted pursuant to the written agreement of the Buyer and the Seller, or the decision of the Arbiter, when final and binding, is referred to herein as the “Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet” and the “Final Closing Adjustment Amount” as reflected on the Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet, shall mean an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (A) the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company minus the Target Working Capital plus (B) the Closing Company Cash minus (C) the Closing Company Debt.

(f) Post-Closing Adjustment to the Purchase Price. As soon as practicable (but not more than five (5) Business Days) after the final determination of the Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with Section 1.3(e):

(i) the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Seller in writing, the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Adjustment Amount as reflected in the Final Post-Closing Balance Sheet is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount (and such payment shall result in an immediate upward adjustment to the Purchase Price by such amount); or

(ii) the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Buyer in writing, the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Adjustment Amount as reflected in the Final

Post-Closing Balance Sheet is less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount (and such payment shall result in an immediate downward adjustment to the Purchase Price by such amount).

(g) Treatment of Post-Closing Adjustments to Purchase Price. To the extent permitted by Law, any payments made under Section 1.3(f), shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for United States federal, state and local income Tax purposes.

(h) Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 1.3 shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any disputes related to, and the calculation of, any post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 1.4 Withholding. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price such amounts as the Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided that the Buyer shall consult with the Seller prior to making any such withholding and shall provide the Seller a reasonable opportunity to deliver forms or take such other actions as will reduce or eliminate the requirement to withhold. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer and timely paid to or deposited with the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller or other Person otherwise entitled to such payments hereunder.

(c) by the Buyer, if the Seller shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) and (ii) is incapable of being cured by the Seller or is not cured by the Seller within twenty (20) days following receipt of written notice from the Buyer of such breach or failure to perform; or

The Seller and the Company shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates, managers, officers, employees, Representatives or agents not to, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any non-public information to, any Person concerning any merger, sale of substantial assets, sale of shares of capital stock, equity interests or similar transactions involving the Company or enter into any agreement with respect thereto except as may be required to comply with the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of the Company or the Seller.

Section 6.7 Tax Matters. The following provisions (which shall take precedence over any other provision of this Agreement in the event of a conflict) shall govern the allocation of responsibility as among the Buyer, the Seller and the Company for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) The Seller shall have responsibility for, and shall pay or cause to be paid when due, any and all Taxes relating to the Company for or relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Seller shall timely prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed (i) all Tax Returns of the Company for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall pay the Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns and (ii) all Tax Returns of the Company for all Tax periods that begin before and end after the Closing (“Straddle Periods”) that are filed on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis. The Buyer shall timely prepare and file or cause to be timely prepared and filed all Straddle Period Tax Returns not described in the previous sentence. The Tax Returns described in the previous two sentences shall be prepared or completed in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company with respect to Tax Returns concerning the income, properties or operations of the Company, except as otherwise required by Law or regulation or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties prior to the filing thereof. Prior to the filing of any Tax Return described in clause (i) of the second sentence of this Section 6.7(a) that was not filed before the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a substantially final draft of such Tax Return (or in the case of a Tax Group Tax Return, a draft pro forma Tax Return of the Company that reflects its inclusion in the Tax Group, including as appropriate a substantially final draft of any document or form described in Section 6.7(i)) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Return. The Buyer shall notify the Seller of any objections that the Buyer may have to any items set forth in any such draft Tax Return (or draft pro forma Tax Return), and the Buyer and the Seller shall agree to consult and resolve in good faith any such objection and to mutually consent to the filing of such Tax Return (including the Tax Group Tax Return that would reflect the draft pro forma Tax Return), Prior to the filing of any Straddle Period Tax Return, the preparing Party shall provide the other Party with a substantially final draft of such Straddle Period Tax Return (or, in the case of a Tax Group Straddle Period Tax Return prepared by the Seller, a draft pro forma Straddle Period Tax Return of the Company that reflects its inclusion in the Tax Group) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Return, including an allocation of pre- and post-Closing Straddle Period Taxes in accordance with Section 6.7(b). The other Party shall promptly notify the preparing Party of any objections that the other Party may have to any items set forth in any such draft Straddle Period Tax Return (or draft pro forma Straddle Period Tax Return) or allocation of Straddle Period Taxes, and the Buyer and the Seller shall agree to consult and attempt to resolve in good faith any such objection. If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute regarding any Tax Returns (or allocation of Straddle Period Taxes) as described in this Section 6.7(a) within a ten (10) Business Day period, the Parties shall retain the services of an accounting firm having a national reputation that is acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller to resolve the dispute with such resolution being final and binding upon the Parties. Upon resolution of all such disputes, the relevant Tax Return shall be timely filed on that basis, provided that no Party shall be required to file any Tax Return after its due date (taking into account extensions). The cost of such accounting firm shall be borne one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Seller. With respect to any Straddle Period Tax Return, the Seller shall be liable for any Taxes allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and the Buyer shall be liable for any Taxes allocated to the period beginning after the Closing Date, and each of the Buyer and the Seller agrees to pay its share of Straddle Period Taxes to the other Party at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of any such Straddle Period Tax Return.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties shall cause the taxable year of the Company to end for applicable federal and state income tax purposes on the

Closing Date. In the case of any Straddle Period: (i) any real, personal and intangible property Taxes or other similar Taxes (not including Taxes based on income or receipts or other Taxes imposed with respect to particular transactions rather than the passage of time) attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the period prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) all other Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an actual closing of the books used to calculate such Taxes as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. In the case of clause (ii), exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions computed as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Straddle Period) shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the portion of the Straddle Period thereafter in proportion to the number of days in each such portion.

(c) Except as provided in Section 6.7(d), after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Company in any and all Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court Proceedings relating to Tax Returns for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and for all Straddle Periods; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the right to participate in any such audit, assessment or Proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Buyer) for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such audit, assessment or Proceeding would result in an indemnity payment by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or that would adversely affect any Tax refunds or credits to which the Seller is entitled under Section 6.7(j). In the event that the Buyer proposes to compromise or settle any Tax claim, or consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or for any Straddle Period, the Seller shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Buyer shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any issue or claim arising in any such audit, assessment or Proceeding, or otherwise agree to or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement would result in an indemnity payment by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.1(a).

(d) After the Closing Date, the Seller shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Company in any and all Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court Proceedings relating to Tax Group Tax Returns for taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Buyer shall have the right to participate in any such audit, assessment or Proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Seller) for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such audit, assessment or Proceeding would result in an adverse effect on the Company or Buyer (or any of their Affiliates) for any period of time after the Closing. In the event that the Seller proposes to compromise or settle any Tax claim, or consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Seller shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any issue or

claim arising in any such audit, assessment or Proceeding, or otherwise agree to or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement would result in an adverse effect on the Company or Buyer (or any of their Affiliates) for any period of time after the Closing.

(e) The Seller agrees to notify the Buyer promptly, in all events within five (5) Business Days, in writing upon receipt by the Seller, or any Affiliate of the Seller, of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court Proceedings relating to the income, properties or operations of the Company. The Buyer agrees to notify the Seller promptly, in all events within five (5) Business Days, in writing upon receipt by the Buyer, or any Affiliate of the Buyer, of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court Proceedings relating to the income, properties or operations of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or that would adversely affect Tax refunds or credits to which the Seller is entitled under Section 6.7(j).

(f) After the Closing Date, the Buyer and the Seller agree to provide each other with such cooperation and information relating to the Company as the other Party may reasonably request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or other Tax filing or claim for refund of Taxes, (ii) determining any Tax liability or right to refund or credit of Taxes, (iii) conducting or defending any audit or other Proceeding in respect of Taxes, or (iv) effectuating the terms of this Agreement.

(g) All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date with respect to the Company and, from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to any Person pursuant to any such agreement or arrangement, and all other rights and obligations resulting from any such agreement or arrangement shall cease.

(h) The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller on the other, shall share equally and be equally liable for, and shall cooperate to pay when due, any transfer, gains, documentary, sales, use, registration, stamp, value-added or other similar Taxes payable by reason of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), and shall cooperate to file all necessary returns, reports or other filings with respect to all such Taxes.

(i) The Seller shall (and shall cause any required member of any Tax Group to) make (A) an election pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-36(d)(6) (in the form and manner prescribed by Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-36(e)(5)) and (B) any similar state, local or foreign tax elections as reasonably determined by the Buyer that are required or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 6.7(i), in the case of each of clause (A) and (B), with respect to the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Such election or elections shall reduce or avoid, to the maximum extent possible, attribute reduction (as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)) as agreed by the Seller and the Buyer in respect of the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, calculated pursuant to Code Sections 197(a) and 1011(a) and Treasury Regulation 1.197-2(f)(1)(ii), of the Code Section 197 intangibles as reflected on Schedule 8.1(a)(v),and any state, local and foreign equivalents.

At the written request of the Seller to make a claim for an amount that would be paid over to the Seller pursuant to the previous sentence with a Governmental Entity, and upon a determination by the Buyer that such claim is “more likely than not” of success under applicable Tax Law (which determination shall be made by the Buyer in a reasonable manner), the Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller at the Seller’s expense in connection therewith, including the preparation of any Tax Return that is required to be filed by the Company; provided, however, that if the filing of such a claim would have an adverse effect on the Tax liability of the Company for a Tax period (or portion thereof, including a portion of a Straddle Period) ending after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not be entitled to require such claim to be filed without the prior written consent of the Buyer. Except as specifically provided in this subsection (j), the Buyer shall not amend any Tax Returns of the Company relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or any Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claims asserted prior to the expiration of the survival periods specified in this Section 8.1 shall not be barred by the expiration of the relevant survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

(l) Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an event which a party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) (other than an indemnifiable event related to Taxes, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be governed by Section 6.7), the party or parties seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify in writing the other party or parties against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly, but no later than thirty (30) Business Days, after such Indemnified Party discovers or receives notice of any claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 8.1(l) shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 8.1, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of any such Indemnifying Party. The written notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall describe in reasonable detail to the extent known (i) the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, (ii) the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim, (iii) each individual item of Losses included in the amount so stated, to the extent known, (iv) the date such item was paid or properly accrued, and (v) the nature of the breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to indemnification hereunder, and shall provide any other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. In the event of any Action, Proceeding or demand asserted by any Person who is not a party (or a successor to a party) to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) which is or gives rise to an indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of a Third Party Claim to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have sufficient financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; provided, further, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s expense, which shall include counsel of its choice; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, one counsel of its choice to represent the Indemnified Party if, with the reasonable advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or if (i) the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend, compromise or settle a Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the required time period of its election as provided in this section, (iii) the Indemnifying Party does not have the financial resources necessary to defend against the matter and fulfill its indemnification obligations, (iv) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (v) the Third Party Claim involves a criminal suit, or (vi) the Indemnifying Party having timely elected to defend a Third Party Claim, fails, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, after at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Indemnifying Party, to

adequately prosecute or pursue such defense, and in each such case the Indemnified Party may defend such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, admit to any liability or compromise any Third Party Claim or part thereof without prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the Indemnified Party releases, in writing, the Indemnifying Party from all indemnification obligations pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Third Party Claim or part thereof settled and such settlement or compromise includes a release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or part thereof settled. The Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(m) Special Procedures for Government Audit Matter Claims.

(i) Control of Defense. Notwithstanding Section 8.1(l), in the event any Buyer Indemnified Person should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party in respect of a Government Audit Matter pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(vi), the Buyer Indemnified Person shall assume the defense of any Action constituting a Government Audit Matter or any litigation resulting therefrom at the Buyer Indemnified Person’s expense, provided that if the aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, deficiencies, expenses, assessments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, and costs paid (or irrevocably agreed to be paid) by the Buyer Indemnified Persons, as a whole, to Governmental Entities in respect of all Government Audit Matters at any time is equal to or exceeds the Government Audit Matter Threshold, then the Seller shall have the right at its option, to assume the defense of any and all other pending and future Actions constituting a Government Audit Matter or any litigation resulting therefrom.

(ii) Notices. The Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Seller in writing of such Government Audit Matter, but no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Buyer Indemnified Person receives a written claim with respect to a specific Government Audit Matter; provided, that the failure of the Buyer Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 8.1(m)(ii) shall not relieve the Seller of its obligations under Section 8.1(a)(vi), except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of the Seller. The written notice from the Buyer Indemnified Party to the Seller shall describe in reasonable detail to the extent known (i) the facts giving rise to such Government Audit Matter, and (ii) the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim, and shall provide any other information with respect thereto as

the Seller may reasonably request. Additionally, the Buyer or a Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Seller in writing if and when Government Audit Matter Losses equal or exceed the Government Audit Matter Threshold.

(iii) Settlement Procedures. If a Buyer Indemnified Persons controls the defense of any Action constituting a Government Audit Matter or litigation resulting therefrom, the Buyer Indemnified Person shall not consent or agree to a settlement in respect of any such Governmental Audit Matter or related litigation, if such settlement would require the payment by the Seller of any Governmental Audit Matter Losses, without the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the Seller assumes the defense of any Government Audit Matter or any litigation resulting therefrom, the Seller shall not consent or agree to a settlement in respect of such Government Audit Matter or related litigation without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to withhold consent to any settlement that would, in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company.

(iv) Reasonable Access, Cooperation and Information. Regardless of whether the Seller or a Buyer Indemnified Person is defending a Government Audit Matter or litigation resulting therefrom, such party shall afford the other party reasonable access to the proceedings and an opportunity to participate in the process (at such party’s expense), as well as to keep the other party reasonably apprised of material developments on a timely basis. The Seller shall reasonably cooperate and assist, at the Buyer’s sole request and expense, the Buyer Indemnified Person in the defense of any Action constituting a Government Audit Matter or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that expenses shall only include out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Seller and the Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of the Buyer prior to incurring any out-of-pocket expenses (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(n) Cooperation. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

Section 8.2 Assignment of Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Person receives any payment from the Seller in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and the Buyer Indemnified Person could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Seller, the Buyer Indemnified Person shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Seller to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim against the Potential Contributor shall be distributed, (a) first, to the Buyer Indemnified Person in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to

be paid by the Buyer Indemnified Person prior to the Seller being required to make any payment to the Buyer Indemnified Person plus, in the case of any claim by a Buyer Indemnified Person as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the costs and expenses incurred in investigating, prosecuting, defending or otherwise addressing such claim, (b) second, to the Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by the Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Person in respect of such claim, plus the costs and expenses incurred in investigating, prosecuting, defending or otherwise addressing such claim, and (c) the balance, if any, to the Buyer Indemnified Person.

Section 8.3 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted by Law, all indemnification payments under this Article VIII, shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for United States federal, state and local income Tax purposes.

Section 8.4 Other Limitations on Liability. No Buyer Indemnified Person shall have any claim or recourse against the Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives under this Article VIII with respect to any breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement to the extent the Seller demonstrates that any of the individuals included in the definition of Knowledge of the Buyer had actual knowledge of such breach at least five (5) days prior to the Closing and knew that such breach would reasonably likely result in Losses, without regard to the limits in this Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the individuals included in the definition of Knowledge of the Buyer shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of all information set forth in this Agreement, in the Schedules (including any update or amendment to the Schedules furnished by the Seller at least five (5) days prior to the Closing), and with respect to any matter waived by Buyer in writing at or prior to the Closing or made known in writing to the Buyer by the Seller at least five (5) days prior to the Closing.

Section 8.5 Determination of Damages. For purposes of the Parties’ indemnification obligations under Article VIII, all “material” and “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications in Article III and Article IV shall be disregarded solely for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Person as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty in Article III or Article IV, but not for purposes of determining whether an inaccuracy exists or a breach has occurred.

Section 8.6 Exclusivity. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.3), EFFECTIVE AS OF THE CLOSING, THE PARTIES, ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, WAIVE AND FOREVER FULLY AND IRREVOCABLY RELEASE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, ACTIONS, SUITS, DEMANDS, JUDGMENTS, DEBTS, PROMISES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ANY SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTIES, THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES, REGARDLESS OF THE LAW OR LEGAL THEORY UNDER WHICH SUCH LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION MAY BE SOUGHT TO BE IMPOSED, WHETHER AT LAW, IN EQUITY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO THE COMPANY AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. AFTER THE CLOSING, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO FRAUD AND AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.3, THIS ARTICLE VIII WILL PROVIDE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST THE SELLER FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR OTHER CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

This Agreement was negotiated by the Parties with the benefit of legal representation, and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement to be construed or interpreted against any Party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof. In the event of an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or to the extent to which any such Party’s counsel participated in the drafting of any provision hereof or by virtue of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof. Notwithstanding any oral agreement or course of conduct of the Parties or their Representatives to the contrary, no Party shall be under any legal obligation to enter into or complete the transactions contemplated hereby unless and until this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each of the Parties.

Section 10.7 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by written agreement specifically designated as an amendment to this Agreement, signed by each of the Parties.

Section 10.8 Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns (and, to the extent provided in Section 6.8, Section 6.16 and Article VIII, the Employees, D&O Indemnified Parties, and other Buyer Indemnified Persons and Seller Indemnified Persons benefiting therefrom, who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible. Notwithstanding this Section 10.9, in the event that any restriction in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, each Party agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and each Party hereby consents and agrees that the scope of such restriction may be modified accordingly in any Proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

Section 10.10 Assignability. No Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent signed by each other Party hereto except that the Buyer may sell, transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates, the right to purchase all or a portion of the Shares, but no such sale, transfer or assignment shall relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Any purported violation of this Section 10.10 shall be void.

Section 10.11 Interim Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party may seek, from the federal court of the United States of America located in the Central District of California, Southern Division, or the courts of the State of California, Orange County, any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the Arbiter’s or the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy. The Parties agree that immediate and irreparable harm and damage would occur for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy in the event that a Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including a Party’s confidentiality, non-disclosure, or non-competition obligations, including but not limited to those obligations set forth in Section 6.6, Section 6.11, and Section 6.12 of this Agreement), were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Any such relief or remedy shall not be exclusive, but shall be in addition to all other available legal or equitable remedies. Each Party agrees that the provisions of this Section 10.11 are fair and reasonable in the commercial circumstances of this Agreement, and that neither Party would have entered into this Agreement but for each Party’s agreement with the provisions of this Section 10.11.

Section 10.12 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (w) to Articles, Sections, Schedules, and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (x) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; (y) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder; and (z) shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular, and plural forms thereof. References to days mean calendar days unless otherwise specified. The Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 10.13 Disclosure Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Schedules or in this Agreement, the information and disclosures contained in any Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Personal Liability. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any direct or indirect stockholder of the Seller or the Buyer or any officer, director, employee, Representative or investor of any party hereto.

Section 10.15 Legal Representation. (a) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇”) has acted as counsel for the Seller and the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ has not acted as counsel for any other Person, including the Buyer.

(b) Only the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates shall be considered clients of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in the Acquisition Engagement. The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely to the Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), and not the Company, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by the Buyer or the Company upon or after the Closing; provided, however, that in the event a dispute arises between the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, the Company, and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement or any Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement after the Closing, the Buyer or its Affiliates or the Company may assert the attorney-client

privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential information by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to such third party. Accordingly, the Buyer shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ relating to the Acquisition Engagement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Seller and its Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company or the Buyer by reason of any attorney-client relationship between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and the Company or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of the Seller and its Affiliates; provided, that such representatives, accounts and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney-client communications). If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the 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, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

(c) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ has acted as counsel for the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates for several years and that the Seller reasonably anticipates that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ will continue to represent the Seller and its Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, the Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) expressly consents to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ representation of the Seller and/or its 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 the Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller or any of its 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ may have previously advised the Seller, the Company or their respective Affiliates.

(d) The Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in respect of legal services provided to the Company or its Affiliates by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) From and after the Closing, the Company shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, unless and to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ is expressly engaged in writing by the Company to represent the Company after the Closing and either (i) such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates or (ii) the Seller and/or any such Affiliate, as applicable, consent in writing to such engagement.

(f) The Seller, the Company and the Buyer consent to the arrangements in this Section 10.15 and waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ permitted hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
