Upon receipt by Parent of such Option Holder Acknowledgment, the holder of such Company Options shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the shares of Parent Common Stock and a check, ACH payment, or a wire transfer in the amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.8.

If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, any Company Holder who fails to return a properly completed Investor Questionnaire prior to the Closing or otherwise fails to demonstrate, to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction, prior to the Closing (including through Parent’s review of such publicly filed information as is available if such Company Holder is a reporting company in the United States), its, his or her status as an Accredited Investor, shall be deemed to not be an Accredited Investor.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no shares of Parent Common Stock shall be payable to Company Holders that are not Accredited Investors in connection with payment of the Merger Consideration, and each such Company Holder shall instead receive (if, when and to the extent applicable) an additional cash payment in lieu thereof, which payment shall reduce the amount of cash payable to the Company Holders that are Accredited Investors on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that would have been paid to the Company Holders that are not Accredited Investors shall instead be paid pro rata to the Company Holders that are Accredited Investors, with the aggregate amount of such increase being rounded up to the next whole share.

2.14 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Closing Notice. One day prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written notice, executed by an authorized officer of the Company (the “Closing Notice”), setting forth good faith estimates of: (i) the Company’s current assets (other than deferred Tax assets that reflect timing differences between book and Tax accounting) and applying the same accounting principles and methodologies used to prepare the Company Balance Sheet, (ii) the Company’s current liabilities (other than deferred Tax liabilities that reflect timing differences between book and Tax accounting) and applying the same accounting principles and methodologies used to prepare the Company Balance Sheet, (iii) the Indebtedness (other than current liabilities), (iv) the Company’s Transaction Expenses that are unpaid, and (v) any Change in Control Payments that are unpaid, in each case as of the Effective Time (clauses (i) through (v) collectively the “Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs”).

As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to prepare a report setting forth the actual amounts of the Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs, along with a summary showing in reasonable detail the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of such amounts (the “Draft Closing Statement”). Parent shall deliver the Draft Closing Statement to the Stockholders’ Representative not later than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date.

(c) Review by Stockholders’ Representative. As soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Draft Closing Statement, the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide to Parent a written report indicating its agreement with, or specific, itemized and quantified objections to, the Draft Closing Statement (the “Stockholders’ Representative’s Report”). During such period, Parent shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative reasonable access to the Surviving Corporation’s books and records and personnel to the extent necessary to review the Draft Closing Statement; provided that the Stockholders’ Representative shall treat all such information as confidential information of Parent. All other items on the Draft Closing Statement which have not been cited as subject to objection in the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report shall be deemed accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative. Failure by the Stockholders’ Representative to object to the Draft Closing Statement within such period shall be deemed to be the Stockholders’ Representative’s acceptance of the entire Draft Closing Statement and all items therein.

(d) Agreement on Closing Statement.

(i) Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by Parent of the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall endeavor in good faith to agree on any matters in dispute, and any such resolution shall be final and binding on Parent, the Company, and the Company Holders. Any matter that Parent chooses not to dispute on the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed accepted by Parent.

(ii) If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to agree on any remaining matters that were disputed in the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report within fifteen (15) days after Parent’s receipt of the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report, then the matters contained in the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report in dispute will be submitted for resolution to the Kansas City office of a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that has not performed accounting, tax or auditing services for Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates during the previous five (5) years, as may be mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (any of the foregoing selected to resolve the dispute, an “Appraiser”). The Appraiser shall be given reasonable access to all relevant financial information, books, records, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared or reviewed by Parent or any of its representatives that are relevant to the Draft Closing Statement, and to all personnel, including accounting personnel, involved in the preparation of the Draft Closing Statement, in connection with its calculation of the Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs. The Appraiser shall use its accounting expertise to calculate, based solely on the written submissions of Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other hand, and not by independent investigation, the Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs and shall be instructed that its calculation (i) must be made in accordance with the standards and definitions in this Agreement, and (ii) with respect to each item in dispute, absent a finding by the Appraiser of manifest error or fraud, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by the Stockholders’ Representative in the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report and by Parent in the Draft Closing Statement. Within thirty (30) days of such submission, Appraiser shall issue a written report to the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent upon such disputed items (in no event enlarging or adding any new or additional item to those set forth in the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report and not accepted by Parent), and such written decision shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. The Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall cooperate reasonably with each other and each other’s representatives to enable the Appraiser to render a written decision as promptly as possible. The fees and expenses of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent in inverse proportion to their respective success on the merits, with the Company Holders’ share of any such fees and expenses being paid first from the Representative Reimbursement Amount, and such allocation of

fees and expenses shall be calculated by the Appraiser and shall be final and binding on the parties. At any time, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative may agree to settle any objections raised in the Stockholders’ Representative’s Report, which agreement shall be in writing and binding upon each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative with respect to the subject matter of any such objection so resolved.

(iii) The Draft Closing Statement, revised to incorporate the resolution of any matters in dispute pursuant to Sections 2.14(c), 2.14(d)(i) and/or 2.14(d)(ii), as applicable, is referred to as the “Closing Statement.” The Closing Statement shall have the legal effect of an arbitral award and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.

(e) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. If any of the Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs in the Closing Statement are different than the Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs in the Closing Notice, then corresponding adjustments will be made to the Merger Consideration. The resulting net payment (if any) owed by Parent to the Company Holders (for a positive net adjustment to the Merger Consideration), on the one hand, or the Company Holders to Parent (for a negative net adjustment to the Merger Consideration), on the other hand, is referred to herein as the “True-Up Payment.” The True-Up Payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes to the greatest extent permitted by law. The True-Up Payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Closing Statement.

(i) For any True-Up Payment owed by the Company Holders, the Stockholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to release to Parent from the Escrow Fund (including from the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount, and, if necessary, from the Escrow Amount) an amount equal to the True-Up Payment in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank account as Parent may specify; provided that no True-Up Payment shall be paid by the Company Holders if such payment is less than $40,000; provided, further, that, if the True-Up Payment exceeds $40,000, any True-Up Payment from the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount and from the Escrow Amount will be without deduction of such threshold amount.

(ii) If no True-Up Payment is owed by the Company Holders pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) or the amount of the True-Up Payment owed by the Company Holders is less than the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount, then Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent to release, to the extent such amount is then available in the Escrow Fund, the difference between (i) the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount and (ii) the True-Up Payment owed by the Company Holders, if any, in immediately available

funds by a single wire transfer, as directed by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Holders. Payments to the Company Holders, as directed by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.14(e)(ii), shall be made in proportion to each Company Holder’s respective Pro Rata Portion, with each amount rounded down to the nearest whole cent ($0.01).

(iii) For any True-Up Payment owed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, Parent shall pay an amount equal to the True-Up Payment in immediately available funds by a single wire transfer, as directed by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Holders. Payments to the Company Holders by the Surviving Corporation or as directed by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.14(e)(iii) shall be made in proportion to each Company Holder’s respective Pro Rata Portion, with each amount rounded down to the nearest whole cent ($0.01).

2.15 Further Action. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

negotiations or submissions of proposals or offers in respect of an Acquisition Transaction, (iii) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to any Person any information concerning the business, operations, properties or assets of the Company in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing, provided, however, that, at any time prior to the receipt of the approval of the Company’s Stockholders as required by Section 7.1, if the Company receives a bona fide written proposal or offer of an Acquisition Transaction (an “Acquisition Proposal”) that was unsolicited and that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.1, the Company may furnish non-public information with respect to the Company to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal (a “Third Party”) and may participate in discussions regarding such Acquisition Proposal if (A) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after receiving advice from its outside counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable law, (B) the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in good faith, after receiving advice from its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined below), and (C) prior to furnishing any such information, the Company notifies Parent of its intent to take such action and concurrently furnishes to Parent copies of any information being furnished to the Third Party that was not previously furnished to Parent; provided, further, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Company or its directors, officers, employees, advisors, representatives or agents from responding to the receipt of an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal to notify a Person that the Company cannot discuss such Acquisition Proposal prior to the Target Date because of the terms of this Section 6.1.

(ii) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Parent and Merger Sub) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Transaction

(iii) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means any Acquisition Proposal which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment (after receiving advice from its financial advisor and taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal, including any conditions to consummation and the likelihood of such transaction being consummated) to be more favorable to the holders of Company Capital Stock from a financial point of view than the Merger.

(iv) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of each such Acquisition Proposal. The Company will keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal or other inquiry, offer, proposal or request.

(b) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 6.1 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties that Parent shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state or any other jurisdiction having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth above by the Company or by any of its representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

Any information obtained from the Company pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.3(b) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) No Modification of Representations and Warranties or Covenants. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation or notification pursuant to this Section 6.3 or otherwise shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein, the covenants or agreements of the parties hereto or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

(i) The Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared or timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension) on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of the Company due on or before the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, except as required by applicable law. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to filing any such Tax Return, the Company shall submit a copy of such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(ii) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, on a basis consistent with past practice unless otherwise required by applicable law, all Tax Returns for the Company for any periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date and all Tax Returns for the Company for any Straddle Periods. Parent shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative for the Stockholders’ Representative’s review and comment a copy of each such Tax Return at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account any extension). Parent shall make any reasonable changes requested by the Stockholders’ Representative at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of Straddle Period, the portion of any Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be (i) in the case of Property Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days of such Straddle Period in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable year of the Company terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) Tax Contests. Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other upon receipt by such party of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Contest”). Any failure to so notify the other party of any Tax Contest shall not limit any of the indemnification obligations under Article VIII (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Tax Contest). Parent shall have the right to control the conduct of all Tax Contests, including any settlement or compromise thereof; provided, however, (i) that Parent shall keep the Stockholders’ Representative reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Contest; (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative will have the right to participate in the defense of such Tax Contest at the sole expense of the Company Holders; and (iv) Parent shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on any indemnification obligations under Article VIII without the Stockholders’ Representative’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

In the event of any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.6(a)(ii) and Section 8.6, the provisions of this Section 6.6(a)(ii) shall control.

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which may be reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest and making appropriate persons available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne by the Company Holders. The Stockholders’ Representative hereby agrees to file in a timely manner all necessary documents (including, but not limited to, all Tax Returns) with respect to such Transfer Taxes. The Stockholders’ Representative shall provide Parent with evidence satisfactory to Parent that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by the Stockholders’ Representative.

(e) Any Tax refunds received by Parent or any of its Affiliates (or credits for overpayments for Tax to which any of the foregoing are entitled) after the Closing and that relate to Taxes paid by the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (to the extent such Taxes were paid by the Company prior to the Closing or by the Company Holders pursuant to Article VIII after the Closing) shall be for the account of the Company Holders, other than refunds (or credits) that arise as a result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a Tax period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date or such refunds (or credits) were included as an asset in determining the Initial Cash Merger Consideration Inputs set forth on the Closing Statement. Parent shall pay to the Company Holders any such refund (or the amount of any such credit), net of any expenses or Taxes incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates and specifically and separately attributable to such refund (or credit), within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such refund (or fifteen (15) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such credit). Except in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.6(a) or to the extent reasonably and timely requested by the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent shall have no obligation to claim or obtain any refund or credit that will give rise to a payment to Company Holders pursuant to this Section 6.6(e). To the extent any such refund (or credit) is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Tax Authority, the Company Holders agree promptly to repay the amount of such refund (or credit), together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Tax Authority, to Parent.

(f) Without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, none of Parent or any Affiliate thereof shall amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return of the Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or waive any limitations period with respect to such Tax Returns, if such amendment, refiling, modification or waiver would reasonably be expected to result in damages for which indemnification of Parent would be required hereunder, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(g) Parent shall not make, or cause to be made, any election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 FIRPTA Compliance.

If the lessor or licensor under any Lease conditions its grant of a consent (including by threatening to exercise a “recapture” or other termination right) upon, or otherwise requires in response to a notice or consent request regarding this Agreement, the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased rent payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), the Company shall be solely responsible for making all such payments or providing all such additional security.

Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter, (b) any notice or other communication from any third party whose consent is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement indicating that such third party refuses to give such consent, (c) any Material Adverse Effect on the Company, or (d) the occurrence or existence of any event that results, or with notice or the passage of time or otherwise, is reasonably likely to result, in the failure of the conditions set forth in Article VII; provided, however, that the delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Parent.

6.11 Section 280G of the Code.

(a) Parent and the Company acknowledge that the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement and certain other amounts which may be received by any person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 280G”)). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent, prior to the solicitation of the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders described in Section 6.11(b), a Section 280G Waiver from each person who is a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G), as determined immediately prior to the initiation of the solicitation of the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders described in Section 6.11(b), and who might otherwise receive or have the right or entitlement to receive a parachute payment under Section 280G in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders of such parachute payments is obtained pursuant to Section 6.11(b).

(b) As soon as practicable following the delivery by the Company to Parent of the Section 280G Waiver, the Company shall submit to the Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code any payments and/or benefits that are subject to a Section 280G Waiver, such that such payments and benefits shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent (i) that a vote of the Company’s stockholders was solicited in conformance with Section 280G, and the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to such vote (the “Section 280G Approval”) or (ii) that the Section 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, pursuant to the Section 280G Waiver, such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided.

(c) The form of the Section 280G Waiver and any materials to be submitted to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Section 280G Approval (the “Section 280G Soliciting Materials”) shall be subject to review and approval by Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.12 Indemnification of Officers and Directors of the Company.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to the Company Charter Documents and the Indemnification Agreements with each of the Founders which are set forth on Section 6.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the current and former officers and directors of the Company, and all other persons entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such provisions or agreements, being referred to collectively as the “D&O Indemnified Parties”). For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to exculpation from liability that are at least as favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties as the provisions set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time Parent shall not permit any of such provisions to be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that could adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions with respect to exculpation from liability contained as of the date hereof in Parent’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Merger Sub’s Certificate of Incorporation are as least as favorable as those contained in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 6.12(a), during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party (in each case, to the extent such D&O Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification by the Company as of the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws or an indemnification agreement) against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to any action or omission or alleged action or omission by such D&O Indemnified Party in his or her

capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement).

Effective as of the Closing Date, at Parent’s expense, each of the Company Holders agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate, and cause the Company’s accountants to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate, in providing (a) historical financial information to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in a manner to allow Parent to satisfy its filing obligations with the SEC, (b) any related supporting schedules in the format reasonably required by Parent for use by its Subsidiaries at such time (and as may be updated by Parent in its reasonable discretion from time to time), and (c) any other information reasonably requested by Parent in order to comply with the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act or the preparation of audited and pro forma Company financial statements by Parent. Each Company Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make itself available to Parent and its accountants and financial advisors, and shall promptly respond to reasonable requests made by Parent and its accountants and financial advisors, relating to the preparation of the financial statements and schedules set forth in this Section 6.13.

ARTICLE VIII.

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;

INDEMNIFICATION; ESCROW

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and all representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement Representations and Warranties Exhibit attached hereto as Exhibit J, and any certificate delivered by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Merger and continue until the Escrow Termination Date, after which time such representations and warranties shall terminate; provided, however, that the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely; provided, further, that if at any time prior to the termination of any specific representation or warranty, an Indemnified Party has duly delivered to the Indemnifying Party a valid Indemnification Demand or Claim Notice (with such Indemnification Demand or Claim Notice satisfying the requirements set forth in Sections 8.6(a) or 8.7(a), as applicable) relating to such representation or warranty, then the representation or warranty underlying the claim asserted in such Indemnification Demand or Claim Notice shall survive solely with respect to the claim (and only to the extent reasonably within the scope of the claim) in such notice until such time as such claim is resolved. The Company and Parent expressly agree pursuant to this Section 8.1 to shorten the statutes of limitation applicable to all claims and causes of action based directly or indirectly upon inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties made by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub in this Agreement. The respective covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Agreement (other than covenants, agreements and obligations to be performed after the Closing) shall expire at the Effective Time, and each covenant, agreement and obligation contained in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive (A) until fully performed or fulfilled, unless non-compliance with such covenants, agreements or obligations is waived in writing by the party or parties entitled to such performance or (B) if not fully performed or fulfilled, until the later of the end of the applicable statute of limitations and any extensions thereof.

8.2 Escrow and Representative Reimbursement Amount Deposit.

(a) A portion of the Merger Consideration equal to the Escrow Amount and the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount shall constitute escrowed merger consideration (collectively with any earnings or dividends or other distributions thereon, if any, the “Escrowed Merger Consideration”). The Escrowed Merger Consideration shall be withheld from the Merger Consideration otherwise deliverable to the Company Holders on the Closing Date to serve as security for the benefit of Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Parent Indemnified Party) against (x) the indemnification afforded the Parent Indemnified Parties by Article VIII of this Agreement and (y) any reduction made pursuant to Section 2.14(e). On the Closing Date, or the first Business Day after the Closing Date in the event that the Closing Date is not a Business Day, the Escrowed Merger Consideration shall be deposited by Parent with the Escrow Agent in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that Parent is, for federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Escrowed Merger Consideration and is taxable on any earnings thereon. If any payment is required to be made to Parent pursuant to this Section 8.2, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to deliver to Parent out of the Escrow Account an amount of cash that is equal in value to such required payment. For purposes of determining the reduction in the amount of Merger Consideration payable to each Company Holder pursuant to Sections 2.7(a) and 2.7(b), as applicable, Parent will be deemed to have contributed, on behalf of each Company Holder, his, her or its Pro Rata Portion of the Escrow Amount and the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Escrow Account to be governed under the terms set forth in this Agreement and in the Escrow Agreement.

(b) No later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following the Escrow Termination Date, Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to deliver to the Company Holders as of the Closing, no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Escrow Termination Date, any Escrowed Merger Consideration remaining in the Escrow Account as follows: the aggregate amount of Escrowed Merger Consideration that consists of cash, including all earnings on Escrowed Merger Consideration that consists of cash held in escrow, to the Company Holders pursuant to their Pro Rata Portion; provided that, if on the Escrow Termination Date any claim for indemnification by any Parent Indemnified Party under Section 8.3(a) is outstanding, then

such amount of cash that is equal in value to the amount that may be reasonably necessary to satisfy such claim (or, if such amount is greater than the amount remaining in the Escrow Account, then the amount of cash remaining in the Escrow Account) shall not be distributed pursuant to this Section 8.2 for so long as such claim is outstanding and, following resolution of such claim, any amount remaining in the Escrow Account that was held back shall be distributed in accordance with the above.

(c) A portion of the Merger Consideration equal to the Representative Reimbursement Amount shall be withheld from the Merger Consideration otherwise deliverable to the Company Holders on the Closing Date to fund, if necessary, (i) the amounts described in Section 2.14(d)(ii) and this Section 8.2(c) as being paid from the Representative Reimbursement Amount, (ii) the expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative acting in such capacity, and (iii) any other expense described in this Agreement as being paid from the Representative Reimbursement Amount. The Representative Reimbursement Amount shall consist entirely of cash. On the Closing Date, or the first Business Day after the Closing Date in the event that the Closing Date is not a Business Day, the Representative Reimbursement Amount shall be deposited by Parent with the Stockholders’ Representative. On the Escrow Termination Date (and on every anniversary of such date thereafter), the Stockholders’ Representative shall consult with the Advisory Group and determine in good faith what, if any, amount of remaining Representative Reimbursement Amount should be distributed to the Company Holders; provided that all of the remaining Representative Reimbursement Amount (less any amounts required to pay outstanding and anticipated expenses) shall be distributed to the Company Holders no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the distribution of all remaining funds in the Escrow Account to the Company Holders. The Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Company Holders the aggregate Pro Rata Portion of such distribution. The parties hereto understand and agree that the contingent rights to receive any funds from the Representative Reimbursement Amount are not transferable, except pursuant to a reorganization, liquidation, or other similar transfer of the assets of the relevant party to its equityholders or a successor entity or by operation of laws relating to descent and distribution, divorce, and community property, and, in the event of any such transfer, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be notified as promptly as reasonably practicable. Upon the request of a Company Holder, the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide such Company Holder with such information regarding the Representative Reimbursement Amount, and any transaction activity relating thereto, as such Company Holder may reasonably request and at such Company Holders’ sole cost and expense.

8.3 Indemnification; Escrow Fund; Right of Setoff.

(a) From and after the Closing Date (but subject to Section 8.1 and the limitations set forth in Section 8.4(b)), each Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified, defended and held harmless from and against any Losses which are suffered or incurred by any Parent Indemnified Party or to which any Parent Indemnified Party may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including the Allocation Certificate;

(ii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any agreement, obligation or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement (but only to the extent that any such agreement, obligation or covenant is to be performed by the Company prior to the Closing); and

(iii) any Indemnified Taxes.

(b) In the event any Parent Indemnified Party shall suffer any Losses for which such Parent Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, subject to Section 8.4(b), such Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover such Losses by (i) obtaining the amount from the Escrow Account equal in value to the aggregate amount of such Losses, and/or (ii) with respect to Losses which arise from or as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of a Fundamental Representation of the Company or arising out of or resulting from Sections 8.3(a)(ii)-(a)(iii), the Contingent Merger Consideration remaining to be paid, if any, in accordance with Section 2.11 and/or any amounts otherwise payable on account of the Promissory Note Interests (the “Right of Setoff”). Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, if, at the time the Contingent Merger Consideration or the Promissory Note Interests are due and payable, there shall be any outstanding claim pursuant to Section 8.3(a) and (i) such claim shall be subject to the Right of Setoff, (ii) with respect to such claim, the amount of Losses shall not have been finally determined, and (iii) Parent has elected to exercise the Right of Setoff with respect to the Contingent Merger Consideration and/or Promissory Note Interest, then the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to the Contingent Merger Consideration and/or Promissory Note Interest shall be reduced by the amount of Losses the Parent Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith estimates to be subject to such indemnification claim and that is set forth in the Indemnification Demand or Claim Notice. If the final amount of Losses for such indemnification claim is less than the amount by which the Contingent Merger Consideration and/or Promissory Note Interest was reduced for such claim, then such difference shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.11 or Section 2.9(a), as applicable.

(c) From and after the Closing Date (but subject to Section 8.1 and the limitations set forth in Section 8.4(b)), each Company Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified, defended and held harmless by Parent from and against any Losses which are suffered or incurred by any Company Indemnified Party or to which any Company Indemnified Party may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement, or any certificate delivered by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, but not for any inaccuracy in or breach of representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in the Share Purchase Agreement Representations and Warranties Exhibit attached hereto as Exhibit J); and

(ii) any failure by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation to perform or comply with any agreement, obligation or covenant of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation contained in this Agreement.

8.4 Limitation on Remedies.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Company Holders shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Company Holders exceeds $175,000 in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”), in which event the Company Holders shall, subject to the other limitations contained herein, be liable only for the portion of such Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount, (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Company Holders shall be the amount, if any, of cash remaining in the Escrow Account on or prior to the Escrow Termination Date (the “Cap”), it being understood that the Company Holders shall not be liable for Losses in the aggregate in excess of the Cap, and (iii) Parent shall not be liable for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.3(c) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Parent exceeds the Deductible Amount, in which event Parent shall, subject to the other limitations contained herein, be liable only for the portion of such Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount, it being understood that Parent shall not be liable for Losses in the aggregate in excess of the Cap; provided however, that, solely with respect to breaches of Section 2.11(c), the Cap shall be an amount equal to $5,000,000, less the aggregate amount (if any) previously paid to the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Holders pursuant to Section 2.11. The Deductible Amount and the Cap shall not apply to any inaccuracy in or breach of any

Fundamental Representations or fraud and the Deductible Amount shall not apply to any failure to perform or comply with any agreement, obligation or covenant contained in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) any Losses recoverable hereunder shall be net of (A) any insurance proceeds actually realized by any Indemnified Party that are directly attributable to such Losses (provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to litigate any dispute, or otherwise bring any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding to obtain such insurance proceeds), (B) any prior or subsequent contribution or other payments or recoveries of a like nature by the Indemnified Party from any Third-Party (other than the Indemnifying Party) with respect to such Losses; and (C) any federal, state or local Tax savings attributable to such Losses that are recognized by the Indemnified Party in the year the Loss arises; and (ii) no Losses (other than Losses from Third-Party Claims that are actually paid to third parties) shall be recoverable that constitute punitive or consequential damages, or any diminution in value and shall not be calculated by using or taking into account any multiple of earnings, book value, cash flow or other measure. Each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses after it becomes aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith.

(d) No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any Losses to the extent that such Losses have been incorporated into the final determination of the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.14(e) and Parent has been paid the True-Up Payment, if any, with respect to the full amount of such Losses to which it is entitled pursuant to such Section.

(e) After any indemnification payment is made to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE X, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights (if any) of the Indemnified Party against any third party in connection with the Losses to which such payment relates. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any Indemnified Party receiving an indemnification payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall execute, upon the written request of the Indemnifying Party, any instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.

(f) The right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties for any Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party (other than claims for injunctive relief and/or specific performance of covenants that require performance after the Closing); provided that a party’s liability for fraud shall not be limited under this Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that once Escrowed Merger Consideration in the Escrow Account has been exhausted or fully paid to the Company Holders, the only liability of the Company Holders for Losses hereunder that shall survive shall be with respect to breaches of any of the Fundamental Representations or indemnification obligations arising out of or resulting from Sections 8.3(a)(ii)-8.3(a)(iii), which liability shall (i) be several and not joint among the Company Holders and shall be allocated in proportion to each Company Holder’s respective Pro Rata Portion and (ii) in no event exceed the amount of Merger Consideration received by such Company Holder. The Indemnified Parties may not avoid such limitation on liability by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1, the Company Indemnified Parties may seek recovery for misrepresentation or breach of warranty with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement Representation and Warranties Exhibit attached hereto as Exhibit J, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4 as if such representations and warranties were non-Fundamental Representations of Parent and Merger Sub contained herein.

(g) No current or former stockholder or optionholder of the Company shall have any personal or individual liability of any nature to any Parent Indemnified Party with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in, or any other breach of, this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein.

8.5 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) By virtue of the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the requisite consent of the Company Stockholders, each of the Company Holders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as its agents and attorneys-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) for and on behalf of the Company Holders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Account in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any other claim by any Indemnified Party against

any Company Holder or by any such Company Holder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Company Holder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Company Holders with the right to at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Pro Rata Portions of the Escrow Fund from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time by providing written notice of intent to resign to the Company Holders, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (A) thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of such written notice or (B) the appointment of a successor by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for their services.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Company Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholders’ Representative while acting in good faith, even if such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Stockholders’ Representative may engage attorneys, accountants and other professionals and experts. The Stockholders’ Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. The Company Holders shall indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold the Stockholders’ Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative (so long as the Stockholders’ Representative were acting in good faith in connection therewith) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholders’ Representative (“Stockholders’ Representative Expenses”). The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to retain Stockholders’ Representative’s Expenses from the Representative Reimbursement Amount prior to any distribution to the Company Holders, and prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s Expenses actually incurred. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.4 or 9.5 hereof, shall constitute a decision of the Company Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Holders.

(c) Certain Company Holders (the “Advisory Group”) have concurrently herewith entered into a letter agreement with the Stockholders’ Representative regarding direction to be provided by the Advisory Group to the Stockholders’ Representative. The Advisory Group shall incur no liability to any Company Holder while acting in good faith and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith).

8.6 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim (a “Third-Party Claim”) that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such Third-Party Claim and the dollar amount of such Third-Party Claim, to the extent known (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Party in delivering any Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying from any liability hereunder except and to the extent the Indemnifying Party have been actually prejudiced by such delay or failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may, at its election, undertake and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim upon written notice of such election to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice; provided that, the Indemnifying Party shall use all reasonable efforts to defend such claim and shall consult with the Indemnified Party regarding the strategy for defense of such claim, including with respect to the Indemnifying Party’s choice of legal counsel; and provided further that, if the Third-Party Claim consists of an action brought against or with respect to the Indemnified Party asserting Losses as a result of facts or allegations which, if true, would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.10, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, by giving written notice to the Indemnifying Party, to elect to jointly assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with the Indemnifying Party, with each of the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party bearing one-half of the expense of such defense and through counsel jointly selected by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense (other than a joint defense as described above), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, unless such participation would affect any privilege of the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available

to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials, and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto (or in the possession or control of any of its Affiliates or its or their representatives) as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or its counsel. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.6, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or approve the payment of any part of such Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from or is replaced with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has elected to direct and is directing the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.6, the Indemnified Party shall not forgo any appeal or admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise, or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any Third-Party Claim for which it is conducting the defense and for which it obtains a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third-Party Claim (and which compromise, settlement agreement or consent decree does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or a finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party) or to which settlement the Indemnified Party consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the control of the defense by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest or because the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that in such counsel’s opinion it has claims or defenses that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Third-Party Claim (or the facts or allegations related to such Third-Party Claim) involves criminal allegations or seeks equitable or injunctive relief, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party fails at any time to conduct the defense of such proceeding, claim or demand in a reasonably active and diligent manner, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the control of such defense. Until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third-Party Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification hereunder.

(d) The party controlling the defense of a Third-Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall (i) keep the other party (the “Non-controlling Party”) advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof (including all material developments and events relating thereto) and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto and (ii) make available to the Non-controlling Party any documents or materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to understand the defense of such claim (subject to protection of the attorney-client privilege). If requested by the Controlling Party, the Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaints or other pleadings which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

8.7 Notice of Indemnity Claims Other than Third-Party Claims.

(a) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VIII other than with respect to a Third-Party Claim, the applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver a written demand (an “Indemnification Demand”) to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnification Demand shall contain (i) a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the alleged inaccuracy in such representation and warranty or breach of such covenant or other specific circumstance entitling such Indemnified Party to such indemnification; (ii) a description and the amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (iii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3 for such Losses and the specific representation and warranty alleged to have been inaccurate or specific covenant alleged to have been breached or other specific circumstance entitling such Parent Indemnified Party to such indemnification and (iv) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses.

(b) The Indemnifying Party may object to any liability claim set forth in an Indemnification Demand by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s objection (an “Indemnification Dispute Notice”). Such Indemnification Dispute Notice will describe the grounds (to the extent known) for such objection in reasonable detail. If the Indemnifying Party fails to deliver an Indemnification Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days following receipt of an Indemnification Demand from an Indemnified Party that it disputes the indemnity claimed therein, the indemnity claim set forth in the Indemnification Demand shall be conclusively deemed a liability to be

indemnified under this Article VIII, and such Indemnified Party shall, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII, be indemnified for the amount of the Losses stated in such Indemnification Demand on demand. If an Indemnification Dispute Notice is delivered, the parties shall thereafter comply with the following dispute resolution provisions:

(i) The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt to resolve such dispute promptly by negotiation in good faith. Each such party shall give the other party involved written notice of any dispute not so resolved within ten (10) days following delivery of an Indemnification Dispute Notice. Within five (5) days following delivery of such notice, the party receiving notice shall submit to the other a written response thereto. The notice and response shall include the name and title of the Person who will represent the Indemnified Party and any other Person who will accompany that Person, in the case of the Indemnified Party, or the name of name and title of the Person who will represent the Indemnifying Party and any other Person who will accompany that Person, in the case of the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) Within ten (10) days following delivery of the notice pursuant to Section 8.7(b)(i), the designated officer or other designated agent of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall meet at a mutually agreed time and place, and thereafter, as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All negotiations conducted pursuant to this Section 8.7(b) (and any of the parties’ submissions in contemplation thereof) shall be kept confidential by the parties.

(c) In the event the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are unable to resolve any dispute identified in an Indemnification Dispute Notice in accordance with provisions (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.7(b) within thirty (30) days after delivery of any Indemnification Dispute Notice, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party may seek to resolve the matter through litigation brought in accordance with Section 10.8.

8.8 No Circular Recovery. After the Closing, the Company Holders shall not have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or any of their directors, officers or employees, for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company.

8.9 Determination of Indemnifiable Losses. For the purpose of calculating the amount of the Losses resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty (but not for the purpose of determining the existence of such breach or inaccuracy), any “material,” “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers or words of similar import

contained in such representation or warranty giving rise to the claim of indemnity hereunder shall in each case be disregarded and without effect (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

8.10 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VIII will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties shall file their respective Tax Returns accordingly and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE IX.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Merger abandoned, at any time prior to the Effective Time by duly authorized action by the terminating party, whether before or after the requisite approvals of the Company Stockholders:

(b) by duly authorized mutual written consent of the Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company;

(c) by the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated by October 22, 2013 (the “Target Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to the Company in the event that its action or failure to act (including the failure to act in compliance with Section 6.5) has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date;

(d) by either the Company or Parent if the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2013 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act (including the failure to act in compliance with Section 6.5) has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

(e) by either the Company or Parent if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action), in any case having the effect of (i) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, or (ii) prohibiting Parent’s or the Company’s ownership or operation of any portion of the business of the Company, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

(f) by the Company, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(f) prior to the later of the End Date and thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice by Parent from the Company of such breach (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if the Company is in material breach of this Agreement or if such breach by Parent is cured so that such conditions would then be satisfied); or

(g) by Parent, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(g) prior to the later of the End Date and thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice by the Company from Parent of such breach (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(g) if Parent is in material breach of this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured so that such conditions would then be satisfied); or

(h) by Parent if the Merger shall not have been consummated by the Target Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(h) shall not be available to Parent in the event that its action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date.

9.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 9.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating party to the other party hereto (taking into consideration any cure periods provided in Section 9.1). In the event of the termination of this

Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except (a) as set forth in Section 6.3(a), this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 and Article X, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party to this Agreement from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

9.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of financial advisors, financial sponsors, legal counsel and other advisors (“Transaction Expenses”), shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated. With respect to the Company, Transaction Expenses unpaid as of the Effective Time that shall be deducted in the calculation of the Initial Cash Merger Consideration shall also include (i) $100,000 as the anticipated cost of obtaining an audit of the Company’s financial statements and (ii) $75,000 as the anticipated costs of retention payments to be paid to certain of the Company’s employees and consultants.

9.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action duly authorized by the parties, at any time before or after approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, provided that after approval and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment shall be made which requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such further stockholder approval. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended except by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of (i) prior to the Closing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and, (ii) after the Closing, each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.

9.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time either party hereto, by action duly authorized by such party, may, to the extent legally allowed: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. For purposes of this Agreement; (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including,” when used herein, shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

(ii) “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) “date hereof” refers to the date of this Agreement; (iv) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean simply “if;” (v) definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms; (vi) references to an agreement or instrument mean such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented; (vii) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns; (viii) words importing the masculine gender include the feminine or neuter and, in each case, vice versa; and (ix) references to a law or Legal Requirement include any amendment or modification to such law or Legal Requirement and any rules or regulations issued thereunder, if such amendment or modification, or such rule or regulation is effective, on or before the date on which the compliance with such law or Legal Requirement is at issue. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When reference is made herein to “the business of” an entity, such reference shall be deemed to include the business of such entity and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. An exception or disclosure made in the Company Disclosure Letter with regard to a representation of the Company in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to have been disclosed for purposes of all representations and warranties under this Agreement, without the need for specific references on each Schedule or cross-references thereto so long as the relevance for such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The information contained in the Company Disclosure Letter hereto is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of law or breach of any agreement with such third party, or that such matter is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Knowledge” shall mean with respect to the Company that one or more of the officers of the Company or the individuals listed in Section 10.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) has actual knowledge of the fact or other matter at issue or (ii) should have had actual knowledge of such fact or other matter assuming reasonable inquiry of such individual’s direct reports, including the Company’s external counsel who has knowledge of the fact or other matter, through the diligent exercise of such individual’s duties as an officer or employee of the Company.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect,” when used in connection with an entity, shall mean any change or effect that is materially adverse to such entity’s business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations, taken as a whole with its Subsidiaries; provided, however, in no event shall any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, nor shall any of the following be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Material Adverse Effect on any entity: (i) any change or effect resulting from compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) any change or effect resulting from changes in Legal Requirements or the interpretation thereof (which change or effect does not disproportionately affect such entity in any material respect); (iii) any change or effect resulting from changes affecting any of the industries in which such entity or its Subsidiaries operates generally, the United States or worldwide economy generally or financial markets or political conditions generally (which changes in each case do not disproportionately affect such entity in any material respect); (iv) any natural disaster or any acts of terrorism, sabotage, military action or war (whether or not declared) or any escalation or worsening thereof (which change or effect does not disproportionately affect such entity in any material respect); (v) failure to meet internal forecasts or financial projections (it being understood that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such failure may be deemed to constitute, and may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Material Adverse Effect); (vi) any change or effect attributable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the announcement of the execution of, this Agreement, including loss of any employees, customers, licensees, suppliers, partners or distributors; or (vii) any litigation arising from allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty or misrepresentation in any disclosure relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any limited liability company or joint stock company), firm or other enterprise, association, organization, entity or Governmental Entity.

10.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter, the Escrow Agreement and the certificates delivered by the Company in connection herewith (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder and no Person is or shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder, except, following the Effective Time, such provisions that act for the benefit of the Company Holders, as set forth in Sections 2.7(a), 2.7(b), 6.12, 8.3(c) and 10.11, respectively.

10.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.6 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the

parties and the matter in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the case of any claim as to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal Court of the United States of America, sitting in Delaware (“Federal Court”)), this being in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the case of any claim as to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal Court); (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding must be commenced, and may be heard and determined, exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if applicable, the Federal Court); (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and, if applicable, the Federal Court); and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if applicable, the Federal Court). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby

10.10 Legal Representation. If the Stockholders’ Representative so desires, acting on behalf of the Company Holders and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or Parent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) shall be permitted to represent the Company Holders after the Closing in connection with the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other agreements referenced herein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be permitted to represent the Company Holders, any of their agents and Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Parent, the Company or any of their agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims or disputes arising under other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any indemnification claims. Upon and after the Closing, the Company shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, unless and to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is specifically engaged in writing by the Company to represent the Company after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Company Holders or the Stockholders’ Representative consents in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Company by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

10.11 Attorney-Client Privilege. The attorney-client privilege of the Company related to the Merger shall be deemed to be the right of the Company Holders, and not that of the Surviving Corporation, following the Closing, and may be waived only by the Stockholders’ Representative. Absent the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall have a right to access attorney-client privileged material of the Company related to the Merger following the Closing.

10.12 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

10.13 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.13 shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may sell, transfer or assign its rights under this Agreement to any third party, as part of a sale or transfer of substantially all of Parent’s assets or of the assets of the Surviving Corporation; provided that such third party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

10.14 No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

*****

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized respective officers as of the date first written above.
