STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of November 21, 2019, by and among ▇▇▇▇ Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Seller"), ▇▇▇▇ Acquisition Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Components, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Buyer"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XI below.

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (collectively, the "Shares") of the Company;

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, all of the Shares; and

WHEREAS, the respective boards of managers or directors or other governing bodies, as applicable, of Seller, the Company and Buyer have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, conditions and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.01 Purchase and Sale of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire from Seller, free and clear of all Liens, all of the Shares owned by Seller in exchange for the payment of the Estimated Purchase Price in cash to Seller. Payment for the Shares will be made by wire transfer on the Closing Date of immediately available funds to the Escrow and Paying Agent, and the Escrow and Paying Agent will pay such cash to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent.

1.02 Calculation of Closing and Final Consideration.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Purchase Price" means an amount equal to:

(i) $340,000,000,

(ii) plus the total amount of Cash,

(iii) minus the outstanding amount of Indebtedness as of the Closing,

(iv) minus the unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses,

(v) plus the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Target,

(vi) minus the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target, and

(vii) minus the Escrow Amounts.

(b) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Buyer a statement (the "Estimated Closing Statement"), setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimate of (i) Cash, (ii) the outstanding amount of Indebtedness as of the Closing, (iii) unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, (iv) Net Working Capital, (v) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (the "Estimated Purchase Price") and (vi) the name, address and wire transfer information of each Person entitled to receive payments with respect to Indebtedness or Seller Transaction Expenses. The Estimated Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the definitions of the terms Cash, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses, Net Working Capital and the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Company will provide a reasonable level of supporting documentation for the Estimated Purchase Price and any additional information in the Company's possession that is reasonably requested by Buyer to verify the information set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement prior to the Closing Date. If, prior to the Closing Date, Buyer objects in writing to any item or the amount of an estimate set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, and, if the Company in its sole discretion agrees with the objection, the Company will change the applicable estimate and notify Buyer thereof on or prior to the Closing Date, in which event the Estimated Closing Statement will be deemed amended to reflect such change.

(c) Within 75 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller (i) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing (which will have been prepared with the assistance of Buyer's or the Company's accountants) (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and (ii) Buyer's calculation of (A) Cash, (B) the outstanding amount of Indebtedness as of the Closing, (C) unpaid Seller Transaction Expenses, (D) Net Working Capital and (E) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (together, the "Closing Statement"). The Closing Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the definitions of the terms Cash, Indebtedness, Seller Transaction Expenses, Net Working Capital and the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (x) any and all effects on the assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Buyer or any other transaction entered into by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (y) any of the plans, transactions, or changes which Buyer intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Acquired Companies or their business or assets or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Buyer or any of its assets or liabilities. The Closing Statement will be based solely on facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Closing and will exclude the effect of any fact, event, change, circumstance, act, development or decision occurring after the Closing.

(d) Buyer will, and will cause the Acquired Companies to, (i) assist Seller and its representatives in the review of the Closing Statement and provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data and senior employees of the Acquired Companies who were responsible for the preparation of the Closing Statement for purposes of their review of the Closing Statement, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with Seller and its representatives in connection with such review, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the review of the Closing Statement as is requested by Seller or its representatives. If Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an "Objections Statement"), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Seller objects (the "Disputed Items"). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within 45 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Buyer will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items and all such discussions related thereto will (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer, Seller and Buyer will jointly engage and submit any unresolved Disputed Items to Duff & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, such other independent national accounting, consulting or valuation firm mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller (the "Arbiter"). In the event the parties submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Arbiter, each party will submit a Closing Statement (which in the case of each party may be a Closing Statement that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than (but not more favorable to the submitting party than) the Closing Statement initially submitted to Seller or the Objections Statement delivered to Buyer, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Arbiter within 10 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Arbiter for resolution. Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbiter to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Arbiter receives the Closing Statements prepared by Seller and Buyer. Seller and Buyer will not engage in any ex-parte communication with the Arbiter. 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 determination of the Arbiter will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Arbiter. The costs and expenses of the Arbiter will be paid by Seller and Buyer in proportion to the amount by which each party's position with respect to all Disputed Items (as reflected in the Closing Statements delivered by the parties to the Arbiter, as applicable) differed from the determination of the Arbiter with respect to all Disputed Items.

(e) If the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.02(d) (the "Final Purchase Price") is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within five Business Days after the determination of Final Purchase Price, (i) Buyer will pay an amount equal to such excess to the Escrow and Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and the Escrow

and Paying Agent will pay to Seller such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent, and (ii) Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay to Seller the Adjustment Escrow Funds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent. If the Final Purchase Price equals the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within five Business Days after determination of the Final Purchase Price, Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent.

(f) If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then, within five Business Days after the determination of Final Purchase Price, Buyer and Seller will jointly instruct the Escrow and Paying Agent to pay (i) to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such shortfall from (and up to the amount of) the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and (ii) to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the remainder, if any, of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, to an account or accounts designated by Seller to the Escrow and Paying Agent. If such shortfall exceeds the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, then, within five Business Days after the determination of Final Purchase Price, Seller will pay an amount equal to such excess to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer to Seller.

(g) All payments required pursuant to Section 1.02(e) and Section 1.02(f) will be deemed to be adjustments for Tax purposes to the Purchase Price.

(h) This Section 1.02 is not intended to be used to adjust for errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Latest Balance Sheet, the Closing Balance Sheet or any other balance sheet referenced in Section 4.05 or any inconsistencies between the Latest Balance Sheet, the Closing Balance Sheet or any other balance sheet referenced in Section 4.05 and GAAP.

1.03 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the second Business Day following satisfaction of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article II (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or such other date as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the "Closing Date." The Closing will be deemed to occur at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time on the Closing Date.

1.04 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby may be reduced by any Tax withholding that is required by Law, and any amount so withheld and paid to the applicable Governmental Body will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person with respect to which the withholding was made. Except with respect to withholding pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code and withholding with respect to any payment treated as compensation, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event at least five Business Days prior to deducting or withholding from any

consideration otherwise payable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer will notify Seller in writing of such intent to deduct and withhold and will provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would reduce such deduction or withholding. In the case of any such payment treated as compensation, the parties will cooperate to pay such amounts through the Acquired Companies' payroll to facilitate applicable withholding.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

8.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b) by Buyer, if there has been a violation or breach by the Company or Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Buyer at the Closing and such violation or breach has not been waived by Buyer or, in the case of a covenant or agreement breach, cured by the Company or Seller, as applicable, within 10 days after written notice thereof from Buyer;

(c) by Seller, if there has been a violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which would prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Company and Seller at the Closing and such violation or breach has not been waived by Seller or, in the case of a covenant or agreement breach, cured by Buyer within 10 days after written notice thereof by Seller (provided that neither a breach by Buyer of Section 5.08 nor the failure to deliver the full consideration payable pursuant to Article I under this Agreement at the Closing as required hereunder will be subject to cure hereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller);

(d) by either Buyer or Seller if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated by 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on the date that is 90 days after the date hereof; provided that neither Buyer nor Seller will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) if such Person's breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or

8.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by either Buyer or Seller as provided above, the provisions of this Agreement will immediately become void and of no

further force or effect (other than this Section 8.02 and Article XII hereof which will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement, dated May 1, 2018, between Buyer and ▇▇▇▇ Manufacturing, LLC (the "Confidentiality Agreement") will survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three years following the date of such termination (and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the Confidentiality Agreement term will be automatically amended to be extended for such additional three year period)), and there will be no liability on the part of any of the parties to one another, except for Fraud or Willful Breaches of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement prior to the time of such termination.

ARTICLE IX

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

9.01 [Tax Matters.

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

(i) Buyer will, at its own cost, prepare or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period the due date of which (taking into account extensions of time to file) is after the Closing Date but only if not filed prior to the Closing. Buyer will timely pay, or cause to be timely paid, any amount shown as due on such Tax Returns, provided that such payment will not void any of Seller's indemnification obligations pursuant to Article X. All such Tax Returns that are with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods will be prepared in a manner consistent with the past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies, unless otherwise required by applicable Law; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, all Transaction Tax Deductions will be deducted on the income Tax Returns of the Company for the taxable period that ends on the Closing Date and the Company will make the safe harbor election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29.At least 30 days prior to the date on which each Tax Return is due, Buyer will submit a copy of such Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period Tax Return to Seller for Seller to review and comment, and shall consider in good faith any comments made by Seller.

(ii) For the portion of the day of the Closing after the time of Closing, other than the transactions expressly contemplated hereby, Buyer will cause the Acquired Companies to carry on their business only in the ordinary course in the same manner as heretofore conducted and will not convert or otherwise change the form of any of the Acquired Companies under applicable state, local or foreign Law. The Acquired

Companies will elect with the relevant taxing authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period of the Acquired Companies to the extent such election is permissible under applicable Law. The parties agree that the Buyer and its Affiliates and the Acquired Companies will not make an election under Treasury Regulation §1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(D) to ratably allocate items (or make any similar election or ratably allocate items under any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Law). If applicable Law does not permit any Acquired Company to close its Tax period at the Closing Date, (A) the amount of Taxes or Tax refunds that are based on or measured by income, receipts, sales or payroll allocable to the portion of such period ending at the Closing Date shall be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable or received if the relevant taxable period ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date, determined on a closing of the books methodology at the Closing Date (and for such purpose the tax year of any Subsidiary of the Company that is a partnership or is organized outside of the United States shall also be deemed to end at the end of the day on the Closing Date) and (B) the amount of any other Taxes allocable to the portion of such period ending at the end of the day on the Closing Date shall be the amount of such Taxes or Tax refunds for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Income Taxes relating to such period shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date and by means of a closing of the books and records of the Acquired Company at the Closing date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending at the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

(iii) Any refunds paid or credited to the Acquired Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the property of Buyer.

(b) Books and Records; Cooperation. Without limiting Section 9.02, each party will, and will cause its representatives to, provide each other party and its representatives with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the review of any Tax Return, including the filing of any claim for refund to which Seller is entitled hereunder, or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to any Acquired Company.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller will each pay one-half of any real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on any Acquired Company or Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, "Transfer Taxes"), and any penalties, interest or additions to Tax with respect to the Transfer Taxes. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns. Within five (5) Business Days of notice thereof, Seller will pay to Buyer its allocable share of any Transfer Taxes.

(d) Tax Elections. Buyer will not make any election under Code Section 338 or Section 336 (or any similar provisions under state, local, or foreign Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired Companies.

(e) Amended Tax Returns; Tax Elections. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer will not cause or permit the Acquired Companies or any of their Affiliates to (i) file, amend or otherwise modify any Tax Return that relates in whole or in part to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than to file Tax Returns in accordance with Section 9.01(a), (ii) make or change any election for, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) voluntarily approach any Tax authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (iv) extent or waive the statute of limitations with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case without the written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) Tax Contests. Buyer will promptly notify Seller, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer, any Acquired Company or any Affiliate, of written notice of any pending federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax audit or examination or notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination relating to Taxes that could give rise to an indemnification obligation by Seller under this Agreement ("Tax Contest"); provided, however, that no delay or failure of Buyer to give timely notice under this Section 9.01(f) will affect Buyer's rights to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure. Subject to the rights of the insurer pursuant to the R&W Policy and the limitations set forth in Sections 10.07(b)(1), (2) and (3), mutatis mutandis, Seller will have the right to elect to control the contest or resolution of any Tax Contest with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods; provided, that (i) Seller provides written notice of its election within ten (10) days after becoming aware of the commencement of such Tax Contest, (ii) Buyer will have the right to employ advisors or its choice (at Buyer's expense), directly or through designated representatives, to review in advance and reasonably comment upon material submissions made in the course of such Tax Contest and to attend any material in-person or telephonic meetings and (iii) Buyer's consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) will be required for any settlement of such Tax Contest. With respect to all Tax Contests that Seller does not elect to control pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer will have the sole responsibility for, and will control, such Tax Contest, including the disposition thereof; provided, that (x) Seller will have the right to employ advisors or its choice (at Seller's expense), directly or through designated representatives, to review in advance and reasonably comment upon material submissions made in the course of such Tax Contest and to attend any material in-person or telephonic meetings, (y) Buyer will diligently pursue such Tax Contest in good faith as if it were the sole party in interest and (z) Seller's consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) will be required for any settlement of such Tax Contest to the extent such settlement relates to Taxes that will give rise to an indemnification obligation by Seller under this Agreement (after taking into account the Deductible or any other limitation hereunder and proceeds reasonable expected to be received under the R&W Policy). To the extent there is a conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.01(f) and Section 10.07 with respect to any Third Party Claim related to Taxes or Tax Returns, this Section 9.01(f) will govern.

9.02 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such requesting party's expense, any other party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.03 Access to Books and Records. From and throughout the seven-year period after the Closing, subject to reasonable confidentiality precautions, Seller will provide Buyer and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), upon reasonable advance notice, during normal business hours and at Buyer's expense, to books and records of Seller and its Affiliates concerning the Acquired Companies with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date, as reasonably necessary to (a) defend or pursue any legal proceeding, (b) prepare or audit financial statements, (c) prepare or file Tax Returns or (d) address Tax, accounting or financial matters or respond to any investigation or other inquiry by or under the control of any Governmental Body. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to disclose (or cause any of its Affiliates to disclose) any information to Buyer or its representatives if such disclosure would be reasonably likely to jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable legal requirements, fiduciary duties or binding agreements.

9.04 Data Room Documentation. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller will, at its expense, authorize and instruct IntraLinks to copy to a suitable electronic medium all documents posted to the data room hosted by it as of the Closing Date in the same order and manner as such documents are set forth in such data room and deliver one such copy to Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, claims for Fraud on the part of any party to this Agreement shall survive

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Company in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(e)(i);

(b) any breach of any covenant or obligation under this Agreement by the Company (with respect to any of its Pre-Closing Covenants) or Seller;

10.04 Limitations.

(a) No claim for indemnification may be made under Section 10.02(a) until the cumulative total of all Damages claimed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 10.02(a) exceeds $1,275,000 (the "Deductible"), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover only Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the Deductible shall not apply to any claim (i) based on Fraud or (ii) for breach of any Fundamental Representation or the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.10.

(b) The aggregate liability of Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, under this Article X will not exceed an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount (the "Cap"); provided, however, that (i) the Cap shall not apply to any claim (A) based on Fraud, (B) for breach of any Fundamental Representation or (C) for indemnification under Section 10.02(e); (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller in respect of its indemnification obligations under Section 10.02(e) will not exceed an amount equal to the Special Escrow Amount; and (iii) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, under this Agreement (including for claims based on Fraud or for breach of Fundamental Representations) will not exceed an amount equal to the Final Purchase Price.

(c) All indemnification payments payable hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds (after deducting related costs and expenses, including any deductible amount and any resultant increase in insurance premiums) actually received by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, including under the R&W Policy, and any other indemnity, reimbursement arrangement or contract pursuant to or under which such Indemnified Party or such Indemnified Party's Affiliates is a party or has rights (collectively, "Alternative Arrangements"). Each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under any Alternative Arrangement. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, with respect to any Damages for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (if and to the extent such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which such Person would have been entitled to pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.04(c)) shall be made promptly to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

(d) For purposes of this Article X, Damages shall not include punitive or special damages, except to the extent awarded in a Third-Party Claim. In addition, in no event will the Buyer Indemnified Parties be entitled to recover for any Damages that represent general and administrative time or other overhead expenses and no Indemnifying Party will be liable hereunder in respect of any claim if such claim would not have arisen but for a change in legislation or accounting policies or a change in interpretation of applicable law as determined by a Governmental Body or pursuant to an administration rule-making decision.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article X for (i) (A) any amount of Indebtedness, (B) any amount of Seller Transaction Expenses or (C) any current liability included in Net Working Capital, in each case, to the extent, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, included in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price, (ii) Damages attributable to any matter to the extent, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, that the Buyer Indemnified Party has been otherwise specifically compensated for such matter pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) Damages attributable to Taxes of Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any Affiliate thereof (x) for any taxable period (or portion thereof) that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period (except to the extent such Damages relate to a breach by the Company of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.10(i), (j) or (l)), (y) resulting from any event or transaction undertaken on the Closing Date or after the Closing outside of the ordinary course of business or (z) as a result of Buyer's financing of the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iv) Damages attributable to a breach by Buyer of any covenant in this Agreement.

(f) For purposes of Section 10.02(a), other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 4.06, in determining (i) whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred and (ii) the amount of Damages arising out of or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty, all qualifications as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications will be ignored and each such representation and warranty will be read and interpreted without regard to any such qualifications.

10.05 Sources of Recovery; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) The recourse for claims by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 10.02 shall be solely, (i) first, to the extent coverage is available thereunder, to the R&W Policy, (ii) second, to the Indemnity Escrow Funds (solely in the case of claims under Sections 10.02(a) through (d)) or the Special Escrow Funds (solely in the case of claims under Section 10.02(e)) and (iii) thereafter, solely with respect to claims (A) based on Fraud, or (B) for breach of any Fundamental Representation, to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuing coverage under the R&W Policy is not a condition to a Buyer Indemnified Party submitting a Notice of Claim and tolling the survival period with respect to such claims.

(b) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, excluding (i) any claim for Fraud, (ii) claims for equitable relief as expressly set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) any post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.02, the Buyer Indemnified Parties' sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, will be for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement) as provided in this Article X.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Indemnified Parties may not avoid such limitation on liability by (i) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (ii) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

(b) Each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties expressly waives all rights afforded by any statute which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims, including Section 1542 and any comparable statutes. Each Buyer Indemnified Party has read Section 1542, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF

KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

(c) Each Buyer Indemnified Party understands that Section 1542, or a comparable statute, rule, regulation or order of another jurisdiction, gives him, her or it the right not to release existing claims of which he, she or it is not aware, unless he, she or it voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, each Buyer Indemnified Party nevertheless hereby voluntarily elects to and does waive the rights described in Section 1542, or such other comparable statute, rule, regulation or order, and elects to assume all risks for claims that exist, existed or may hereafter exist in his, her or its favor, known or unknown, arising out of or related to liabilities arising from any claims or other matters purported to be released pursuant to this release. Each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties understands the significance of this release of unknown claims and waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereto agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on Buyer’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 10.02) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller hereunder.

10.06 Procedure for Making Claims. This Section 10.06 is subject to Section 10.07. If and when an Indemnified Party desires to assert a claim for indemnifiable Damages against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice (a "Notice of Claim") to the Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party's receipt of a claim or awareness of a potential claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder, except to the extent the applicable Indemnifying Parties are actually prejudiced by such delay or failure. Each Notice of Claim shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and provide an estimate of the amount of Damages claimed in connection with such claim (to the extent then reasonably estimable).

10.07 Procedure for Indemnification – Third-Party Claims.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party of a Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver the Notice of Claim described in Section 10.06, including (i) a description of such Third-Party Claim describing in reasonable detail, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party, the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Third-Party Claim; and (ii) an estimate of the amount of Damages claimed in connection with such claim (to the extent then reasonably estimable); provided, however, that no delay or failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder will affect such Indemnified

Party's rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent such delay or failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such Third-Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may, subject to the rights of the insurer pursuant to the R&W Policy, elect to assume, conduct and have sole control over the defense of the Third-Party Claim at its sole cost and expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of its election to defend such Third-Party Claim within 20 days after the Indemnified Party's delivery of the Notice of Claim. The Indemnified Party shall promptly make available to the Indemnifying Party or its authorized representatives all personnel and all records and other materials in the Indemnified Party's possession reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party for its use in defending any Third-Party Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its expense. The Indemnifying Party may negotiate a settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of an order with respect to, such Third-Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if (A) such settlement, compromise or consent in respect of such Third-Party Claim does not include a full, complete and unconditional waiver and release by such third party of all applicable Indemnified Parties for any and all Damages with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (B) such settlement, compromise or consent imposes a Lien on any of the assets of any such Indemnified Party or (C) such settlement, compromise or consent provides for relief other than money damages that will be indemnified pursuant to this Article X by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the primary defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend, settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Third-Party Claim (1) seeks relief other than primarily the payment of monetary damages that would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict in any material respect the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (2) seeks a finding or admission that the Indemnified Party committed a criminal act or (3) involves Damages related to or arising out of such Third-Party Claim that would reasonably be expected to be paid by the Indemnified Party that exceed the portion of the Damages that are indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party as of such date (after taking into account the Deductible or any other limitations hereunder and proceeds reasonably expected to be received under the R&W Policy), then, in each such case, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to contest, defend, compromise, settle (subject, with respect to any settlement, to obtaining the consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) such Third-Party Claim in the first instance (with the Indemnifying Party having the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing and at its own expense) and, if the Indemnified Party does not contest, defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to contest, defend and settle (but subject, with respect to any settlement, to obtaining the consent of the Indemnified Party's, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) such Third-Party Claim.

(c) The parties shall cooperate with each other fully and in good faith with respect to the defense, settlement, negotiation or compromise of any Third-Party Claims.

10.08 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments under this Article X shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law. No party shall (nor shall they permit their Affiliates to) take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such treatment.

10.09 Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

12.05 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that, (a) after the Closing, Seller may assign this Agreement to any of its beneficial owners or successors by operation of Law or otherwise and (b) Buyer may assign or delegate some or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of Buyer by providing written notice thereof to Seller; provided, further, that no assignment will relieve any party of its obligations hereunder.

12.06 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the parties will amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any prohibited or invalid provision with an effective and valid provision that gives effect to the intent of the parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

12.07 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to sections of this Agreement; provided however, each section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any Disclosure Schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement and in the

Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).

12.08 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by Buyer, the Company and Seller; provided that (a) Section 7.02 will not be amended or waived without the consent of a majority of the D&O Indemnified Persons and (b) Section 12.01 will not be amended or waived without the consent of Audax. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

12.09 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Agreement) contain the complete agreement by, between and among the parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by, between or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. The parties agree that prior drafts of this Agreement and of any provision herein will be deemed to not provide any evidence as to the meaning of any provision hereof or the intent of the parties with respect hereto and that such drafts will be deemed joint work product of the parties. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the sale and purchase of the Company exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement; and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm's-length negotiations; all parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm's-length transaction.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

12.11 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State.

12.12 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. SUBJECT TO SECTION 1.02 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER) AND SECTION 12.14 (WHICH WILL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE AFTER THE CLOSING NOT SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE

JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE OR THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES LOCATED IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED AGREEMENT, CERTIFICATE OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND BY THIS AGREEMENT WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, ANY DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION FOR THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED AGREEMENT, CERTIFICATE OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, THAT THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SUCH COURTS OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS OR THAT THEIR PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM EXECUTION, THAT THE ACTION IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, OR THAT THE VENUE OF THE ACTION IS IMPROPER. SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT THERETO MAY BE MADE UPON BUYER BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.04.

12.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 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 CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) 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, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.13.

12.14 Arbitration of Disputes.

(a) Except for disputes, controversies or claims arising under Section 1.02 (which will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth therein) or other claims seeking injunctive relief (for which the provisions of Section 12.12, Section 12.13 and Section 12.19 will be applicable), all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise), including the arbitrability of any dispute or controversy that cannot be settled by mutual agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures ("JAMS"), subject to the provisions in this Section 12.14.

(b) Any party hereto aggrieved will deliver a notice to the other party setting forth the specific points in dispute. Any points remaining in dispute 20 days after the giving of such notice may, upon 10 days' notice to the other party, be submitted to JAMS arbitration conducted before a panel of three arbitrators in Chicago, Illinois. Buyer and the Seller will each appoint one arbitrator (the "Party-Appointed Arbitrators") and the Party-Appointed Arbitrators will appoint the third and presiding arbitrator within 14 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator; provided, that, any arbitrator not timely appointed herein will be appointed by JAMS upon the written demand of any party to the dispute. The arbitrators may enter a default decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings.

(c) The parties to any arbitration proceedings under this Section 12.14 will be entitled to depose any witness identified as testifying at such proceedings.

(d) The parties hereby agree to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures. Subject to the foregoing, the decision of the arbitrators on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties will instruct the arbitrators to provide a full, reasoned opinion in rendering their decisions. The arbitrators will only be authorized to interpret the provisions of this Agreement, and will not amend, change or add to any such provisions. The parties hereto agree that this provision has been adopted by the parties to rapidly and inexpensively resolve any disputes between them and that this provision will be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by any party with respect to this Agreement (other than disputes, controversies or claims arising under Section 1.02 (which will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth therein) or other claims seeking injunctive relief (for which the provisions of Section 12.12, Section 12.13 and Section 12.19 will be applicable)). In the event that any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding, or otherwise allows any litigation regarding a dispute, claim, or controversy covered by this Agreement to proceed, the parties hereto hereby waive any and all right to a trial by jury in or with respect to such litigation.

(e) The arbitrators will be authorized to apportion their fees and expenses as the arbitrators deem appropriate but the arbitrators will not be authorized to award the prevailing party its fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees), and each party will otherwise bear its own fees and expenses, including the fees of its own attorney.

(f) The parties hereto and the arbitrators will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any person, except the parties' advisors and legal representatives, or as may be required by law, the existence of any controversy under this Section 12.14, the referral of any such controversy to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof.

(g) The parties hereto may seek any interim or conservatory relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, such action or proceeding will be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state or federal court sitting in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. The application of a party

to an above-mentioned judicial authority for such measures or for the implementation of any such measures ordered by an arbitral tribunal will not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of Section 12.14 and will not affect the relevant powers reserved to the arbitral tribunal.

12.15 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Section 12.01 and Section 7.02 (and Section 12.08 as it relates to each such Section) of this Agreement are intended for the benefit of Audax and the D&O Indemnified Persons, respectively. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and Audax and the D&O Indemnified Persons any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

12.16 Representation of Seller and its Affiliates. Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Related Parties, that (a) one or more of the Acquired Companies and Seller (and its controlling Affiliate) have retained ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as well as other past matters, (b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no Person other than the Acquired Companies and Seller (and its controlling Affiliate) has the status of a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof, and (c) following the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. may serve as counsel to Seller and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. prior to the Closing Date of any Acquired Company. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or any Acquired Company and Seller or any of its Affiliates, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. may represent Seller or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer or any Acquired Company and even though ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. may have represented an Acquired Company or other Persons in a matter substantially related to such dispute and may be handling other ongoing matters for a Buyer Related Party, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Buyer represents that Buyer's own attorney has explained and helped Buyer evaluate the implications and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A., and Buyer's consent with respect to this waiver is fully informed. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) also further agree that, as to all communications among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A., on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, and Seller or Seller's Affiliates and representatives, on the other hand, to the extent that they relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney‑client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Seller and may be controlled by Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any Acquired Company. In addition, if the Closing occurs, all of the client files and records in the possession of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will

continue to be property of (and be controlled by) Seller and no Acquired Company will retain any copies of such records or have any access to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or any Acquired Company and a third party other than a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) after the Closing, the Acquired Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.A. to such third party; provided, however, that no Acquired Company may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

12.17 No Additional Representations; Disclaimer; Non-Recourse.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of Seller and the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules. The representations and warranties of Seller and the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV or any certificate expressly required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement, respectively, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, constitute the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, and statements of any kind of any of Seller and the Company to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations, warranties, and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Acquired Companies, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Acquired Companies assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Company and Seller. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only. No Person is asserting the truth of any representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement; rather the parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove untrue, the other party will have the specific rights and remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, but that no other rights, remedies or causes of action (whether in Law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort) are permitted to any party hereto as a result of the untruth of any such representation and warranty. NEITHER SELLER NOR THE COMPANY MAKES OR PROVIDES, AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONFORMITY TO SAMPLES, OR CONDITION OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES' ASSETS OR ANY PART THEREOF. BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III AND ARTICLE IV, RESPECTIVELY, AS QUALIFIED BY THE DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES, AND ANY CERTIFICATE EXPRESSLY REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, (X) BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE COMPANY ON AN "AS IS, WHERE IS" BASIS AND (Y) NEITHER SELLER NOR THE COMPANY OR ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING, ANY STOCKHOLDER, MEMBER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, CORPORATE OR ANY OTHER CAPACITY) IS MAKING, AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER

STATEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER CONCERNING THE ACQUIRED COMPANIES, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO (OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED BY) BUYER OR ANY OF BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVES.

(b) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or suit based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the named parties to this Agreement and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to the named parties to this Agreement. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation (whether in contract or in tort) to Buyer or any other Person resulting from (nor will Buyer have any claim with respect to) (i) the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer's use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Buyer in certain "data rooms," confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the sale and purchase of the Company, including any alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities and obligations against any such Persons. Nothing in this Section 12.17(b) shall limit, impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of Buyer or any other Person arising under any contract or agreement (other than this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement) executed and delivered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) In connection with the investigation by Buyer of the Acquired Companies, Buyer has received or may receive from the Acquired Companies certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer will have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that neither the Company, Seller, nor any member, officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and Buyer is not relying on, such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and Buyer agrees that it has not relied thereon.

12.18 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, this Agreement will govern and control.

12.19 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that each party may suffer irreparable damage prior to a termination in the event that the Closing is not consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that money damages or other legal remedies may not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party hereto of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, each other party will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such breaching party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other parties under this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which Seller, the Company or Buyer is entitled at Law or in equity, including the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and to seek money damages. Each party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other parties. Each party hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

12.20 Consents. Buyer acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which any Acquired Company is a party (including the contracts set forth on Schedule 4.11(a)) and such consents have not been obtained. Except to the extent arising out of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Seller will have no liability whatsoever to Buyer (and Buyer will not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof.

12.21 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an "Electronic Delivery"), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument will raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic

Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

12.22 Buyer Deliveries. Any document or item will be deemed "delivered", "provided" or "made available" within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item (i) is included in the electronic data room at least two Business Days prior to the date hereof, or (ii) actually delivered or provided to Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives.
