The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

SECTION 1.03. Transactions To Be Effected at the Closing. At the Closing:

(a) each LRPHI Stockholder shall deliver to Purchaser (i) certificates representing the LRPHI Stock owned by such LRPHI Stockholder, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by powers duly endorsed in blank in proper form for transfer, with appropriate transfer tax stamps, if any, affixed and (ii) such other documents as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request to transfer legal and beneficial title to the LRPHI Stock owned by such LRPHI Stockholder; and

(b) each Individual Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) an assignment of such Individual Seller’s Membership Interests executed by such Individual Seller and (ii) such other documents as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request to transfer legal and beneficial title to the Membership Interests held by such Individual Seller; and

(c) each Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a properly prepared and executed certificate of non-foreign status under Treas. Reg. §1.1445-2(b)(2) that establishes (to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser) that no withholding is required under Section 1445 of the Code and a properly prepared and certified IRS Form W-9 claiming complete exemption from U.S. backup withholding; and

(d) Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Sellers’ Representative (such designation to be made at least two business days prior to the Closing Date), in an amount equal to (i) (A) the Purchase Price, minus (B) the Escrowed Funds, minus (C) the Bonus Amount, minus (D) the Warrant Payment, plus or minus (ii) an estimate, prepared by the Company in good faith and delivered to Purchaser at least two business days prior to the Closing Date of any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 1.04 (the Purchase Price plus or minus such estimate of any adjustment under Section 1.04 being hereinafter called the “Closing Date Amount”); and

(e) Purchaser shall deposit $13,250,000 (together with interest earned thereon as provided in the Escrow Agreement, the “Escrowed Funds”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) by and among Purchaser, Sellers’ Representative and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form and substance of Exhibit A, to be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and

(f) Purchaser shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Company (such designation to be made at least two business days prior to the Closing Date), the amount, as set forth in a written notice delivered by Sellers’ Representative to Purchaser at least two business days prior to the Closing Date, required to be paid pursuant to the phantom equity awards listed in Section 3.03(a) of the Disclosure Letter and any other bonuses, change of control or similar payments permitted or consented to by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.01 and payable by the Company or any Subsidiary at Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Bonus Amount”), and the Purchaser shall cause the Bonus Amount to be distributed to each individual entitled to receive their applicable share of the Bonus Amount (as specified in the written notice described above) through the payroll systems of the Company no later than the regularly scheduled payroll date occurring on or after the Closing Date; and

(g) Purchaser shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Sellers’ Representative or Aritas Group, Inc. (such designation to be made at least two business days prior to the Closing Date), the amount (the “Warrant Payment”), as set forth in a written notice delivered by Sellers’ Representative to Purchaser at least two business days prior to the Closing Date, of the Warrant Payment (as defined in that certain Warrant Termination Agreement between the Company and Aritas Group, Inc., dated September 21, 2015 (the “Warrant Termination Agreement”)); and

(h) Purchaser and Sellers shall make such other deliveries as are required by Article VI.

SECTION 1.04. Purchase Price Adjustment. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause Sellers’ Representative to prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth Adjusted Working Capital (as defined in Section 1.04(i)), including each component thereof, as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (“Closing Adjusted Working Capital”).

(b) The Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 90th day following receipt by Purchaser thereof, unless Purchaser gives written notice of its disagreement with the Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Sellers’ Representative prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Sellers’ Representative in a timely manner, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon Sellers and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved by the Accounting Firm (as defined below). During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for resolution any and all matters that were included by Purchaser in the Notice of Disagreement and that remain in dispute. The Accounting Firm shall be Deloitte & Touche LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon in writing by Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld). Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall execute, if required by the Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities in favor of the Accounting Firm. Once appointed, the Accounting Firm shall have no ex parte communications with any of the parties hereto concerning the determination required under this Section 1.04.

(c) Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 30 days of such submission. In resolving matters submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(b), the Accounting Firm (i) shall base its decision based solely on written submissions by Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser and their respective representatives and not by independent review and (ii) with respect to each matter submitted to it, shall not resolve such matter in a manner that is more favorable to Sellers’ Representative than the Statement or more favorable to Purchaser than the Notice of Disagreement.

(d) The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to (i) whether there were mathematical errors in the Statement, (ii) whether Closing Adjusted Working Capital has been calculated in accordance with the Adjusted Accounting Principles and the procedures and definitions in Schedule 1.04, and (iii) the interest calculation in accordance with Sections 1.04(f). The payments required by Section 1.04(g) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of either party for any and all claims arising under this Agreement with respect to the determination of the difference between Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Target Amount and the related determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price; provided that any disputes about the scope of disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.04(d) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.09.

(e) The final determination by the Accounting Firm of the matters submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(b) shall: (i) be in writing; (ii) include the Accounting Firm’s calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price; (iii) include the Accounting Firm’s determination of each matter submitted to it pursuant to Section 1.04(b); (iv) include the Accounting Firm’s calculation of interest (in accordance with Section 1.04(f)) from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of determination; and (v) include a brief summary of the Accounting Firm’s reasons for its determination of each issue.

(f) The dispute resolution by the Accounting Firm under this Section 1.04 shall constitute an expert determination under New York CPLR Article 76 and shall not constitute an arbitration. The determinations of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding, absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in New York State Supreme Court or any other court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. During the engagement of the Accounting Firm, the Accounting Firm will ▇▇▇▇ 50% of the total charges to each of Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers); provided that the cost of any dispute resolution (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm) pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall be borne by Sellers and Purchaser based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such party bears to the actual amount contested by such party, which allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm (taking into account all fees and expenses already paid by Sellers and Purchaser) at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. For example, if Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers) claims Closing Adjusted Working Capital is $1,000 more than the amount determined by Purchaser, and Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Sellers’ Representative, and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Sellers $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Sellers. Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall pay to the other party, as applicable, any difference between the amount of costs finally determined by the Accounting Firm to be payable by such party and the amount previously paid by such party to the date of such determination.

(g) The Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which Closing Adjusted Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.04, exceeds the Target Amount, and the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which Closing Adjusted Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.04, is less than the Target Amount (the Purchase Price as so increased or decreased shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). If the Closing Date Amount is less than the Adjusted Purchase Price, Purchaser shall, and if the Closing Date Amount is more than the Adjusted Purchase Price, Sellers shall, within 10 business days after the calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital becomes final and binding on the parties, make payment by wire transfer in immediately available funds of the amount of such difference (in the case of each Seller, the amount payable by each Seller pursuant to this Section 1.04(g) shall be in proportion to the percentage set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule 8.01(a)(i)), together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its prime rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment.

(h) In connection with the determination of Closing Adjusted Working Capital pursuant to this Section 1.04, from the Closing Date through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 1.04, Purchaser shall afford, and shall cause the Company and each Subsidiary to afford, to Sellers’ Representative and its independent accountants and other representatives reasonable access to the personnel (including outside accountants), properties, books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any purpose reasonably related to the adjustment contemplated by this Section 1.04.

(i) In this Agreement:

“Adjusted Accounting Principles” means (i) the principles, policies and procedures set forth in Schedule 1.04, including the example calculation set forth therein, (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing clause (i), GAAP, and (iii) to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), the principles, policies, procedures, categorizations, assumptions, techniques and estimation methods with respect to financial statements, their classification or presentation or otherwise (including with respect to the nature of accounts, level of reserves or level of accruals) adopted in connection with the Audited Financial Statements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted Accounting Principles shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase price accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

“Adjusted Working Capital” means Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. The terms “Current Assets” and “Current Liabilities” mean the current assets and current liabilities, respectively, of the Company and the Subsidiaries in the categories described on Schedule 1.04 and subject only to adjustment in accordance with Schedule 1.04 and calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with the Adjusted Accounting Principles.

“Target Amount” means $0.00.

SECTION 1.05. Relationship Among Sellers. Each Seller hereby appoints ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, PC as the sole representative (“Sellers’ Representative”) of such Seller to act as the agent and on behalf of such Seller for all purposes under this Agreement, including for the purposes of: (i) acceptance of the Closing Date Amount (net of the Escrowed Funds, the Warrant Payment and the Bonus Amount and applicable withholding taxes that are permitted to be withheld pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.01) and delivery of wire instructions to Purchaser in connection therewith, as provided in Section 1.03; (ii) determining the Closing Date Amount and delivery of the Statement; (iii) review of any Notice of Disagreement; (iv) determining the Adjusted Purchase Price and delivering any funds as provided in Section 1.04(g); (v) determining whether the conditions to closing in Article VI have been satisfied and supervising the Closing, including waiving any such condition if Sellers’ Representative, in its sole discretion, determines that such waiver is appropriate; (vi) taking any action that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII; (vii) taking any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with the amendment of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.03; (viii) accepting notices on behalf of such Seller in accordance with Section 9.03; (ix) taking any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with the payment of the costs and expenses incurred with respect to the Company or such Seller in accordance with Section 5.06; (x) delivering or causing to be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing certificates representing the Securities to be sold by such Seller hereunder; (xi) executing and delivering, in Sellers’ Representative’s capacity as the representative of such Seller, any and all notices, documents or certificates to be executed by Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of such Seller, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (xii) granting any consent or approval on behalf of such Seller under this Agreement; and (xiii) taking any and all other actions and doing any and all other things provided in or contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by Sellers’ Representative on behalf of any Seller.

(b) Each Seller hereby appoints Sellers’ Representative as such Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, in such Seller’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, granting unto said attorney-in-fact and agent, full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with the sale of such Seller’s Securities as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person.

(c) Neither Sellers’ Representative nor any other Seller shall have any liability to Purchaser for any default under this Agreement by any other Seller, including any default under Sections 1.03(a) and 1.03(b).

ARTICLE II

(d) No Conflicts; Consents. The execution and delivery by LRPHI of this Agreement do not, the execution and delivery by LRPHI of each Ancillary Agreement to which it is or is specified to be a party will not, and the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance by LRPHI with the terms hereof and thereof will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, any provision of (i) the organizational documents of LRPHI, (ii) any material Contract to which LRPHI is a party or by which any of its properties or assets is bound or (iii) any Judgment or Applicable Law applicable to LRPHI or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that would not have a LRPHI Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Seller shall keep confidential, and cause its affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees and advisors to keep confidential, all information relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries, except (i) as required by law or administrative process, (ii) for information that is available to the public on the Closing Date or thereafter becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.04(b), or (iii) for information developed by a Seller independently and without reference to any confidential information. From and after the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 5.04 shall not apply to or restrict the use of confidential information of the Company or a Subsidiary by a Seller in connection with the provision of services to the Company or any of its affiliates. If a Seller becomes compelled in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding between or among the parties hereto) or is requested by a Governmental Entity having regulatory jurisdiction over the transactions contemplated hereby to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Section 5.04, such Seller shall, to the extent practicable, provide Purchaser with notice of such compulsion or request so that it may (at the expense of the party seeking protection) seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.04. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, a Seller may disclose that portion of the confidential information that such party is legally required to disclose. The covenant set forth in this Section 5.04(b) shall terminate three years after the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.05. Regulatory Filings; Consents; Reasonable Best Efforts. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur at the earliest practicable date.

(b) The Company shall as promptly as practicable file with FINRA the filing required for the transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the Company may request in connection with its preparation of such filing.

(c) Prior to the Closing, each party shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all consents (including any consents under any Leased Real Property lease) from third parties necessary or appropriate to permit the consummation of the Acquisition.

(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, except with the consent of Sellers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Purchaser and its affiliates shall not enter into any acquisition, merger or other similar transaction (i) pursuant to which Purchaser will purchase or otherwise acquire any entity or business that is substantially in competition with the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing because of an investigation by a Governmental Entity under the Applicable Laws related to antitrust matters.

SECTION 5.06. Expenses; Transfer Taxes. Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as set forth in Article VIII, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, including all costs and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 5.05.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) applicable to the transfer of each Security shall be borne 50% by each Seller that transferred such Security, on the one hand, and 50% by Purchaser, on the other hand. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Taxes or fees, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions.

SECTION 5.07. Brokers or Finders. Each of Purchaser and each Seller represents, as to itself and its affiliates, that no agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or person is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except, as to Sellers, Broadhaven Capital Partners, whose fees and expenses will be paid by Sellers.

SECTION 5.08. Employee Matters. The parties acknowledge and agree to the matters set forth on Schedule 5.08.

SECTION 5.09. Tax Matters. Sellers’ Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns (including Schedule K1s) required to be filed with a Taxing Authority (or, in the case of any Schedule K1, delivered to the applicable equity interest holder) by or with respect to each of the Company, the Subsidiaries and LRPHI for any Tax period of each such entity ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). The Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or agreed by the parties in writing.

(i) In the case of any Pre-Closing Tax Return that is required to be filed (or delivered, as applicable) before the Closing Date, Sellers’ Representative shall (x) timely file or cause to be filed such Tax Return with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered such Tax Return to the applicable equity interest holder, as applicable) and (y) timely pay or cause to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority the amount shown as due on such Tax Return.

(ii) In the case of any Pre-Closing Tax Return with respect to an income or franchise Tax (including any partnership Tax Return) (an “Income Tax Return”) that is required to be filed (or delivered, as applicable) after the Closing Date:

(1) Sellers’ Representative shall present each such Tax Return to Purchaser for review and comment at least 30 days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions). If Purchaser does not object to such Tax Return within 20 days after receipt thereof, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return and Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be filed such Tax Return with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered such Tax Return to the applicable equity interest holder, as applicable) in such accepted form. If Purchaser delivers an objection to Sellers’ Representative with respect to such Tax Return within 20 days after receipt thereof, then Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall act reasonably and in good faith to resolve such objection and (x) if Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative resolve such dispute at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be filed such Tax Return with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered such Tax Return to the applicable equity interest holder, as applicable) in the agreed-upon form or (y) if Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative do not resolve such dispute at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), then Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable equity interest holder, as applicable) such Tax Return in the form provided by Sellers’ Representative, except that Purchaser shall have the right to adjust such Tax Return to the extent necessary (determined in Purchaser’s sole reasonable discretion) to avoid exposing Purchaser and its affiliates to criminal penalties or non-monetary sanctions.

(2) Sellers shall pay to Sellers’ Representative, at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), the amount shown as due on such Tax Return reduced to the extent such amount was taken into account in the calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital. Each Seller’s liability for such amount shall be determined in the same manner as such Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 8.01(e) and Section 8.01(f). Sellers’ Representative shall promptly pay to Purchaser all amounts received from Sellers under this Section 5.09(a)(ii)(2).

(b) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file or cause to be filed (or deliver or cause to be delivered, as applicable) all Tax Returns (including Schedule K1s) required to be filed (or delivered, as applicable) by or with respect to each of the Company, the Subsidiaries and LRPHI for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) and all Pre-Closing Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date that are not Income Tax Returns; provided, however, that, with respect to each such Tax Return, to the extent relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or agreed by the parties in writing. Purchaser shall present the portion of each such Tax Return related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period to Sellers’ Representative for review and comment at least 30 days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions). If Sellers’ Representative does not object to such Tax Return within 20 days after receipt thereof, then Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return and Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be filed such Tax Return with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered such Tax Return to the applicable equity interest holder) in such accepted form. If Sellers’ Representative delivers an objection to Purchaser with respect to such Tax Return within 20 days after receipt thereof, then Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall act reasonably and in good faith to resolve such objection and (i) if Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative resolve such dispute at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), then Purchaser shall timely file or cause to be filed such Tax Return with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered such Tax Return to the applicable equity interest holder) in the agreed-upon form or (ii) if Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative do not resolve such dispute at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), then Purchaser shall adjust the portion of such Tax Return related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to reflect Sellers’ Representative’s objections, except that Purchaser shall have the right to further adjust such adjusted Tax Return to the extent necessary (determined in Purchaser’s sole reasonable discretion) to avoid exposing Purchaser and its affiliates to criminal penalties or non-monetary sanctions, and shall file or cause to be filed such Tax Return with the relevant Taxing Authority (or deliver or cause to be delivered such Tax Return to the applicable equity interest holder) as so adjusted. Sellers shall pay to Sellers’ Representative, at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account extensions), any amount owed by each Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(e) and Section 8.01(f) with respect to the taxable period covered by such Tax Return. Sellers’ Representative shall promptly pay to Purchaser all amounts received from Sellers under this Section 5.09(b).

(c) Any refund or credit of Taxes paid by or with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary or LRPHI before the Closing (including by way of an offset against Taxes in a tax period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period) or pursuant to an indemnity claim under Section 8.01(e) and Section 8.01(f) shall belong to Sellers (or the LRPHI Stockholders in the case of a refund or credit of Taxes paid by or with respect to LRPHI), except to the extent such refund or credit was taken into account in the calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital. All other refunds or credits of Taxes paid by or with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary or LRPHI shall belong to Purchaser. Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall, or shall cause their respective affiliates to, pay to Sellers’ Representative the portion of any such refund, credit or offset of Taxes to which Sellers or Purchaser, respectively, is entitled under this Section 5.09(c), (i) in the case of a refund, within 10 business days after receipt thereof or (ii) in the case of a credit or offset, within 10 business days after such credit is allowed or applied against any other Tax liability. Sellers’ Representative shall promptly pay any such amounts to Sellers (or the LRPHI Stockholders, as applicable) or Purchaser, as applicable. If any portion of a refund or credit is subsequently disallowed by any Taxing Authority, then amounts previously paid hereunder in respect thereof shall be promptly reimbursed by the payee to the payor.

(d) The Company, each Subsidiary, Sellers and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents, auditors and representatives to reasonably cooperate, in preparing and filing (or delivering, as applicable) all Tax Returns, including by maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes.

(e) All Tax sharing agreements, arrangements and practices between the Company, any Subsidiary or LRPHI, on the one hand, and Sellers or any affiliate of Sellers, on the other hand, shall be terminated before the Closing. After the Closing, none of the Company, the Subsidiaries, LRPHI, Sellers nor any affiliate of any Seller shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax sharing agreement, arrangement or practice.

(f) No later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers’ Representative a statement allocating the purchase price attributable to the purchase of the Membership Interests from the Individual Sellers and any assumed liabilities associated with such purchased Membership Interests (as determined under applicable income Tax principles) among the assets of the Company and each Subsidiary that is treated as a “flowthrough” for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes (the “Allocation Statement”) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, provided that, to the extent consistent therewith, the amount allocated to property, plant and equipment and current assets (in each case, other than customer contracts and software) shall not exceed the tax basis of such assets. Sellers’ Representative shall deliver written notice to Purchaser within 30 days after Sellers’ Representative’s receipt of the Allocation Statement either accepting or objecting to the Allocation Statement, and, if Sellers’ Representative shall not have delivered such written notice within such 30-day period, Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed to the Allocation Statement (and the Allocation Statement shall become a final allocation). If Sellers’ Representative objects to the Allocation Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall attempt to resolve their differences by good faith negotiation to agree on a final allocation. If Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative are unable to agree on a final allocation within 30 days after the delivery of Sellers’ Representative’s objection to the Allocation Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall collectively select an arbiter from an internationally recognized public accounting firm (the person so selected shall be referred to herein as the “Tax Matters Accounting Firm”). The parties shall instruct the Tax Matters Accounting Firm to use its best efforts to determine a final allocation as promptly as possible and not later than 20 days after submission of the matter to the Tax Matters Accounting Firm. Only disputed item(s) relating to the Allocation Statement shall be submitted to the Tax Matters Accounting Firm for review. In resolving any disputed item, the parties shall instruct the Tax Matters Accounting Firm that it may not assign a fair market value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative or less than the lowest fair market value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Sellers’ Representative, in each case, as presented to the Tax Matters Accounting Firm. All determinations of the Tax Matters Accounting Firm relating to the disputed items, absent fraud, shall be final and binding on the parties and shall produce a final allocation. The fees and expenses of the Tax Matters Accounting Firm shall be borne 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers’ Representative. Any final allocation agreed or otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5.09(f) shall be the “Final Allocation” for purposes of this Agreement. The parties shall cooperate to adjust the Final Allocation to reflect any adjustments made to the Purchase Price, including pursuant to Section 1.04. The Final Allocation shall be final and binding upon the parties for all Tax purposes and, except as required by Applicable Law or as mutually agreed to in writing by Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser, the parties agree to act in accordance with the Final Allocation for all Tax purposes.

(g) Sellers agree that, with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary that is treated as a partnership for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes, either (i) a valid election under Section 754 (a “Section 754 Election”) is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the Closing Date, in effect or (ii) a Section 754 Election shall be made in a timely manner such that the election applies to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The Company, any Subsidiary, LRPHI, any Seller or Sellers’ Representative shall promptly notify Purchaser of any Proceeding or audit pending prior to the Closing Date against or with respect to the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or LRPHI in respect of any Tax or Tax Return.

(i) The parties hereto agree to treat the sale of the Membership Interests by the Individual Sellers to Purchaser, for all U.S. Federal income Tax purposes, as a termination of the Company as a partnership, upon which the Company is deemed to contribute all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership; and, immediately thereafter, the Company is deemed to distribute interests in the new partnership to Purchaser and LRPHI in proportion to their respective interests in the Company in liquidation of the Company in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(b)(4), and shall take no position inconsistent therewith.

(j) Purchaser agrees that any assignment of its rights to acquire the LRPHI Stock pursuant to Section 9.01 shall be to an entity that is itself treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes or that is owned directly (or indirectly through a chain of one or more entities that are disregarded for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes) by an entity that is treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes. Purchaser will not make any elections pursuant to Section 336(e) or 338(h)(10) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of U.S. state or local law) with respect to the acquisition of the LRPHI Stock.

(k) Each amount paid to Purchaser or to Sellers pursuant to this Section 5.09 and each amount paid to an indemnitee pursuant to Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

SECTION 5.10. Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

SECTION 5.11. Agreement Not To Compete. Each Individual Seller understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries to the extent permitted by law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.11 and, therefore, for a period of three years from the Closing, each Individual Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America that are substantially in competition with the businesses of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (“Competitive Activities”), including (A) selling goods or services of the type sold by the Company or any Subsidiary (other than on behalf of the Company or its affiliates), except that if any goods or services were not sold by the Company or any Subsidiary during the period of time prior to the Closing and are not sold by the Company and the Subsidiaries at the time of the Closing (collectively, “Permitted Goods and Services”), any Individual Seller may sell any Permitted Goods and Services, (B) soliciting any customer or prospective customer of the Company or any Subsidiary to purchase any goods or services sold by the Company or any Subsidiary, other than Permitted Goods and Services, from anyone other than Purchaser and its affiliates, and (C) assisting any person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by clause (A) or (B) above;

(ii) (A) solicit, recruit or hire any employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries or (B) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries to leave the employment of the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) shall not apply to (x) the employment of any employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries if such employee’s employment has been involuntarily terminated by Purchaser or any of its affiliates or (y) a general advertisement or solicitation program (including through search firms) that is not specifically targeted at such employees; and

(iii) whether in writing or orally, criticize, denigrate or disparage Purchaser, the Company, any of their respective affiliates or any of the officers, directors or employees of any of the foregoing, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any statement that is intended or reasonably expected to become widely disseminated; provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent any Individual Seller from testifying truthfully in any legal or administrative proceeding that arises from or relates to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein, or in which such testimony is compelled or requested or otherwise complying with any legal requirements or responding to inquiries or requests for information by any regulator or auditor.

(b) Section 5.11(a) shall be deemed not breached as a result of the ownership by any Individual Seller or any of its affiliates of less than an aggregate of 5% of any class of stock of a person engaged, directly or indirectly, in Competitive Activities.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to Article VIII and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any breach of the covenants contained in Section 5.11(a). Purchaser shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance, with respect to any breach or attempted breach of such covenants.

SECTION 5.12. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions (subject to Section 5.05), as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of Sellers, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, consents and other instruments as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary or desirable for such purpose.

SECTION 5.13. Post-Closing Access to Sellers. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause LRPHI, the Company and the Subsidiaries to, (a) retain until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations all Tax Returns and other Tax records of LRPHI, the Company and the Subsidiaries with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing Date and (b) to make the same available after the Closing for inspection and copying by Sellers’ Representative or its accountants, counsel and other representatives, upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request; provided, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Company or the Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.14. Director and Officer Insurance. Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, Sellers shall, or shall cause the Company (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, one-half at Purchaser’s expense and one-half at Sellers’ expense), to purchase from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance a prepaid insurance policy (i.e., “tail coverage”) which provides “directors and officers” insurance coverage for each of the individuals who were officers, directors or similar functionaries of the Company or any Subsidiary at or prior to the Closing on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies maintained by the Company or the Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of such individuals for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such policy, the “D&O Tail Policy”); provided that Purchaser shall not be required to pay in excess of $25,000 of the premium for such “tail coverage” insurance policy. From and for a period of six years following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, maintain the D&O Tail Policy in full force and effect. The provisions of this Section 5.14 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by (as express third-party beneficiaries), each current and former officer, director or similar functionary of the Company and the Subsidiaries and his or her heirs and representatives, successors and assigns and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have had by contract or otherwise.

From and after the Closing, each Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify Purchaser, its affiliates (including the Company, the Subsidiaries and LRPHI) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense including reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), suffered or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee (other than any Loss relating to Taxes under Sections 3.11, 5.01(a)(xiv), 5.06(b) and 5.09 for which indemnification provisions are set forth in Sections 8.01(e) and 8.01(f) in lieu of those in this Section 8.01(a) unless expressly provided otherwise in such Sections) to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of (A) such Seller or (B) the Company contained in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(c) (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of the right to indemnification pursuant to this clause (i) the representations and warranties of Sellers and the Company contained herein shall not be deemed qualified by any references herein to materiality generally or to whether or not any such breach results or may result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect, a Company Material Adverse Effect or a LRPHI Material Adverse Effect); and

(ii) any breach of any covenant (A) in Section 5.01(a) by the Company or LRPHI or (B) in this Agreement by such Seller requiring performance after Closing; and

(iii) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by (A) Sellers or (B) the Company (x) that were incurred on or prior to the Closing in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including any fees, expenses or other payments to any brokers, financial advisors, legal advisors or comparable other persons retained or employed by Sellers or the Company (prior to Closing) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and that were not reflected on the Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.04(a), or (y) under the Warrant Termination Agreement in excess of the Warrant Payment.

Each Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(e) and Section 8.01(f) shall be (x) several, and not joint with the other Sellers, with respect to its own representations and warranties and its own covenants and (y) several, and not joint with the other Sellers, with respect to Section 8.01(a)(iii)(B) and to the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in proportion to the percentage set forth opposite its name on Schedule 8.01(a)(i), in each case, subject to the next sentence. Any obligation under this Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(e) or Section 8.01(f) with respect to any representation or warranty of or regarding LRPHI or any covenant to be performed by LRPHI (x) shall be the several, and not joint, obligation of each LRPHI Stockholder in proportion to the percentage set forth opposite its name on Schedule 8.01(a)(ii) and (y) shall not be an obligation of any Seller that is not an LRPHI Stockholder.

(b) Sellers shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee, and shall not have any liability:

(i) under Section 8.01(a)(i) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which Sellers would, but for this clause (i), be liable thereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to 1.0% of the Adjusted Purchase Price (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess; provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification arising out of a breach of Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.04, 2.07, 2.08(a)-(c), 2.08(e), 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.20 or 5.07 (the “Fundamental Representations”).

(ii) under Section 8.01(a)(i) for any individual items or series of related items where the Loss relating thereto is less than $75,000 (it being understood that any such individual items or series of related items for amounts less than $75,000 shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded); provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification arising out of a breach of the Fundamental Representations; and

(iii) under Section 8.01(a)(i) in excess of $13,250,000 in the aggregate, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to any indemnification arising out of (A) a willful breach of a covenant by the Company or (B) a breach of the Fundamental Representations;

(iv) except in the case of fraud, no Losses shall be recoverable by the Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 8.01(a)(i) from any Seller in excess of the portion of the Adjusted Purchase Price actually received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and

(v) except to the extent actually paid to an unrelated third party as a result of a final, non-appealable determination in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover under this Agreement in respect of punitive or exemplary damages.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (including Section 1.04), Purchaser acknowledges that its sole and exclusive monetary remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the Company or any Subsidiary and its assets and liabilities (other than (x) pursuant to the terms of any employment agreement executed in connection with this Agreement (each, an “Employment Agreement”)) or (y) claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and the Company hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) for damages it may have against any Seller arising under or based upon this Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith (other than any Employment Agreement), any Applicable Law (including any relating to environmental matters), common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8.01).

(d) Any indemnification owed by any Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i), Section 8.01(a)(ii)(A) or Section 8.01(a)(iii)(B) shall be satisfied first from the remaining Escrowed Funds. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover and shall have direct recourse to Sellers at any time in which there are insufficient funds remaining in the Escrow Account (net of amounts reserved for pending claims) to satisfy any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i), Section 8.01(a)(ii)(A) or Section 8.01(a)(iii)(B) (or in the case of fraud). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Funds shall be available to compensate Purchaser (on behalf of itself or any other Purchaser Indemnitee) for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to the indemnification obligations of Sellers set forth herein. If Purchaser (or any other Purchaser Indemnitee) is so entitled to indemnity pursuant to this Article VIII, then Purchaser and Sellers’ Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent in the manner specified in the Escrow Agreement to release to Purchaser available Escrowed Funds in an amount equal to Purchaser’s (or such other Purchaser Indemnitee’s) indemnifiable Losses (or if the available Escrowed Funds are less than such Losses, all remaining available Escrowed Funds). If, on the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date, any Escrowed Funds remain in the Escrow Account, Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Sellers’ Representative the amount of such remaining Escrowed Funds less the sum of (i) an amount equal to the aggregate dollar amount of any claims any Purchaser Indemnitee may have under this Article VIII as to which Purchaser has delivered notice to Sellers’ Representative and the Escrow Agent in the manner specified in the Escrow Agreement and (ii) an amount determined in good faith by Purchaser in consultation with Sellers’ Representative that is estimated to be sufficient to satisfy the indemnification obligations of Sellers with respect to any claim any Purchaser Indemnitee may have under this Article VIII as to which Purchaser has delivered notice to Sellers’ Representative and the Escrow Agent in the manner specified in the Escrow Agreement and with respect to which Purchaser is unable to specify the amount of Losses.

(e) From and after the Closing, each Seller shall be severally, and not jointly with the other Sellers, in proportion to the percentage set forth opposite his or its name on Schedule 8.01(a)(i), liable for, and shall indemnify each Purchaser Indemnitee against and hold it harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) Taxes of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period;

(ii) Taxes of any person other than the Company and the Subsidiaries for which any such entity becomes liable (x) as a result of, before the Closing Date, being or having been part of any consolidated, combined, affiliated, aggregate, unitary or similar group or Tax Return, (y) as a transferee or successor, to the extent such Taxes described in this sub clause (y) relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date or (z) by Tax Contract entered into prior to the Closing Date;

(iii) Taxes resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Section 3.11 (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of the right to indemnification pursuant to this clause (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.11 shall not be deemed qualified by any references therein to materiality generally or to whether or not any such breach results or may result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect or a Company Material Adverse Effect), and that any Loss shall be limited to Taxes for Pre-Closing Periods;

(iv) Taxes resulting from any breach of any covenant of such Seller or, as of the Closing Date, the Company contained in this Agreement;

(v) Transfer Taxes that are attributable to the Securities transferred by such Seller that are the liability of such Seller pursuant to Section 5.06(b); and

(vi) all Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) of each Seller.

(f) From and after the Closing, each LRPHI Stockholder shall be severally, and not jointly with the other LRPHI Stockholders, in proportion to the percentage set forth opposite its name on Schedule 8.01(a)(ii), liable for, and shall indemnify each Purchaser Indemnitee against and hold it harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) Taxes of LRPHI for any Pre-Closing Tax Period;

(ii) Taxes of any person other than LRPHI for which LRPHI becomes liable (x) as a result of, before the Closing Date, being or having been part of any consolidated, combined, affiliated, aggregate, unitary or similar group or Tax Return, (y) as a transferee or successor, to the extent such Taxes described in this subclause (y) relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date or (z) by Tax Contract entered into prior to the Closing Date;

(iii) Taxes resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of LRPHI contained in Section 3.11 (it being agreed and acknowledged by the parties that for purposes of the right to indemnification pursuant to this clause (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.11 shall not be deemed qualified by any references therein to materiality generally or to whether or not any such breach results or may result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect, a Company Material Adverse Effect or a LRPHI Material Adverse Effect), and that any Loss shall be limited to Taxes for Pre-Closing Periods;

(iv) Taxes resulting from any breach of any covenant of LRPHI or the LRPHI Stockholders; and

(v) Transfer Taxes that are attributable to the transfer of the LRPHI Stock that are the liability of such Seller pursuant to Section 5.06(b).

(g) In the case of any Straddle Period: (A) Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real, personal and intangible property Taxes) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; (B) Taxes (other than Taxes described in Section 8.01(g)(A)) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed (1) as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date and (2) in the case of any such Taxes attributable to the ownership of any equity interest in a partnership or other “flowthrough” entity as if the taxable period of that entity ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for all purposes of this Agreement, any deduction attributable to the payment of all fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants; appraisal fees, costs and expenses; and travel, lodging, entertainment and associated expenses) incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary or LRPHI prior to Closing which Sellers are obligated to pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all fees payable by the Company or any Subsidiary or LRPHI to any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Bonus Amounts, the Warrant Payment and any amount paid to purchase the D&O Tail Policy shall be allocated to the taxable period or the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, except as required by Applicable Law or agreed by the parties in writing.

SECTION 8.02. Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be liable for, and shall indemnify each Seller, its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold each of them harmless from, any Losses suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnitee to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(c); and

(ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Seller acknowledges that its sole and exclusive monetary remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the Company or any Subsidiary and its assets and liabilities (other than (x) pursuant to the terms of any Employment Agreement) or (y) claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Seller hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) for damages it may have against Purchaser or the Company arising under or based upon this Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith (other than any Employment Agreement), any Applicable Law (including any relating to environmental matters), common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8.02). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent an Individual Seller is an employee or officer of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, such Individual Seller is not waiving such Individual Seller’s right (in his capacity as an employee), if any, to accrued and unpaid salary, bonus, employee benefits, and business expenses that are payable in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and (ii) if an Individual Seller was a manager or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit such Individual Seller from pursuing claims directly against the insurance carrier under any D&O Tail Policy.

SECTION 8.03. Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies or other sources of indemnification with respect to such Loss; provided that the amount deemed to be so recovered under any insurance policy or other source of indemnification shall be net of the applicable deductible for such policy and any increase in premium for such policy directly attributable to such Loss. The amount of the Loss arising out of any item included as a liability in calculating Closing Adjusted Working Capital shall be calculated net of the amount so included. The amount of the Loss arising out of any reduction in value of any Current Asset acquired at the Closing shall be calculated net of the reported value of such Current Asset used in calculating Closing Adjusted Working Capital. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to any Loss hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee in procuring such recovery) shall be made promptly to Sellers; provided that prior to the termination of the Escrow Account, any such amount recovered by a Purchaser Indemnitee shall be deposited in the Escrow Account to fund the indemnification obligations of Sellers under Section 8.01(a) if the amount previously so paid to or on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnitee was funded out of the Escrow Account.

SECTION 8.04. Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party (i) pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) or Section 8.02(a)(i) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 8.06, (ii) pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii), Section 8.01(a)(iii) or Section 8.02(a)(ii) shall terminate when the applicable covenant terminates pursuant to Section 8.06; and (iii) pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or Section 8.01(f) shall terminate when the applicable statute of limitations terminates; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, the amount of such claim (if known and quantifiable) and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) pursuant to Section 8.05 to the party to be providing the indemnification.

SECTION 8.05. Procedures. Third Party Claims. In order for a person (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.01 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any person against the indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party in writing (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, the amount of such claim (if known and quantifiable) and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) of the Third Party Claim promptly following receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly following the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party. Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party in any material respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Third Party Claim) (x) unless the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing, based on the alleged facts stated in the notice delivered to the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 8.05(a), its irrevocable and unconditional obligation to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII), (y) there is reasonable probability that the indemnifying party shall, after giving effect to the limitations set forth in Section 8.01(b) and the other provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, bear in excess of 50% of any Losses with respect to such claim and (z) if the Third Party Claim involves primarily a claim for monetary damages and any claim for an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than monetary damages against the indemnified party as part of such claim is only incidental to such claim for monetary damages (provided that if the Third Party Claim seeks more than an incidental order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than monetary damages against the indemnified party that the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, can be readily separated from any related claim for monetary damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the control of the defense of the portion relating to monetary damages).

(c) Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party. Subject to Sections 8.04 and 8.06, the failure by any indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, as applicable, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within 30 calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, as applicable, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, as applicable, and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

(d) Mitigation. Purchaser and each Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability; provided, however, that such party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party.

SECTION 8.06. Survival of Representations. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and in any document delivered in connection herewith shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of this Article VIII as follows: (a) the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties in Section 4.01, 4.02 and 4.06 shall survive indefinitely; (b) the representations and warranties in Section 3.08 shall survive for two years following the Closing; (c) the representations and warranties in Section 3.11 and the covenants in Section 5.09 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations; (d) the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Article II, Article III and Article IV (other than those specified in clauses (a) through (c) above) and Section 5.01 shall survive for 18 months following the Closing, (e) the covenants in Sections 5.04 and 5.11 shall survive as provided therein, (f) the other covenants contained in this Agreement (other than those specified in clauses (c), (d) and (e) above) (i) which are expressly to be performed prior to Closing shall terminate on the Closing Date and (ii) otherwise shall terminate once such covenants are fully performed and (g) all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive indefinitely.

SECTION 8.07. No Additional Representations. Purchaser acknowledges that none of Sellers, the Company or any other person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Company or any Subsidiary or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Purchaser and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, Purchaser shall acquire the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Any counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

SECTION 9.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement, contain the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, except any agreement among Sellers with respect to the rights and obligations of Sellers’ Representative. None of the parties shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof (or the remaining portion thereof) or the application of such provision to any other persons or circumstances.

SECTION 9.08. Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).

SECTION 9.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Each party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party (a) certifies that 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 and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.11.
