(v) Cooperation. The Parties agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants to, reasonably cooperate and assist in the conduct of the reviews referred

to in this Section 2.04, including the making available to the extent necessary of relevant books, records, work papers and personnel.

(vi) Time of Payment. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place (A) within 30 days after Buyer's delivery of the documents referred to in Section 2.04(b)(ii) if no notice of disagreement with respect to the Closing Working Capital Amount or the Closing Cash Amount is delivered by Sellers' Representative within the 20-day period referred to in Section 2.04(b)(iii); or (B) if a notice of disagreement with respect to the Closing Working Capital Amount or the Closing Cash Amount is so delivered, then within 10 days after the earlier of (1) agreement between Buyer and Sellers' Representative pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(iv) with respect to the Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Cash Amount (each to the extent applicable); and (2) delivery of the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Cash Amount (each to the extent applicable) by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(iv).

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.04(b)(viii) shall not apply in any way to any difference between the Estimated Closing Cash Capital Amount and the Closing Cash Amount (including with respect to any calculation of, or dispute regarding, the Closing Cash Amount).

If any such disagreement is in accordance with the immediately foregoing sentence, then such written notice (A) shall indicate that the formula set forth in Section 2.06(a) with respect to the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment in question or the calculation of the Companies' Gross Profit (as applicable) shall be revised to account for such non-compliance and (B) may (but shall not be required to) propose such revisions to such formula or the calculation of the Gross Profit.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. If Sellers' Representative shall have delivered a notice of disagreement in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii) with respect to any particular Earn-Out Calculation, then Buyer and Sellers' Representative shall, during the 20 days following such delivery, use their

commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts to determine such Earn-Out Calculation and the amount of the Earn-Out Payment calculated by such Earn-Out Calculation. The amount of such Earn-Out Payment shall not be more than the amount shown in Sellers' Representative's calculation thereof delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii) nor less than the amount shown in Buyer's calculation thereof delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i). If, during such period, Buyer and Sellers' Representative are unable to reach agreement, they shall promptly thereafter (and in no event later than 10 days following the end of such 20 day period) cause an Accounting Referee promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of determining such Earn-Out Calculation and the amount of such Earn-Out Payment. In making such determination, the Accounting Referee shall consider and resolve only those items or amounts in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement, Buyer's determination of such Earn-Out Calculation or the amount of such Earn-Out Payment (each to the extent applicable) as to which Sellers' Representative has disagreed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately foregoing sentence, if any disagreement set forth in any such notice of disagreement is on the basis that Buyer has failed to comply with any provision of Section 6.19 (including Section 6.19(a) with respect to the Companies' working capital or Section 6.19(b) with respect to capital expenditures by the Companies), then the Accounting Referee (A) shall revise the formula set forth in Section 2.06(a) or the definition of Gross Profit (as applicable) with respect to the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment in question to account for such non-compliance and (B) Buyer's determination of such Earn-Out Calculation and the amount of such Earn-Out Payment shall reflect such revisions to such formula or such calculation. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Buyer and Sellers' Representative, as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than 45 days following the engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth such determination. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be paid by Sellers (jointly and severally), on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Sellers or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Sellers and Buyer. Any fees or expenses of the Accounting Referee will be paid by Sellers, jointly and severally, or at Buyer's option, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(iv) Cooperation. The Parties agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective independent accountants to, reasonably cooperate and assist in the preparation of each Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the determination of each Earn-Out Calculation and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 2.06, including by making available, to the extent reasonably necessary, of relevant books, records, work papers and personnel.

(c) Timing of Payment of Earn-Out Payments. Each Earn-Out Payment that Buyer is required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be paid in full upon the first to occur of: (i) Sellers' Representative's delivery to Buyer of a written notice stating that it agrees, on behalf of Sellers, to the Earn-Out Calculation Statement delivered by Buyer with respect to such Earn-Out Payment and (ii) the 21st day (or, if later, the first Business Day following such 21^st) day following Buyer's delivery of the Earn-Out Calculation with respect to such Earn-Out Payment; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary foregoing in this sentence, in the event of a proper dispute and resolution conducted in accordance with Section 2.06(b), payment shall be made by the 10th day following the resolution of such dispute in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(iii). Buyer shall pay to Sellers' Representative on behalf of Sellers (pro-rata, based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) each Earn-Out Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions for Sellers' Representative set forth on Schedule 2.02(b)(i) or such other wire instructions as may from time to time be designated in writing by Sellers' Representative to Buyer.

(d) Change in Control. If a Change in Control is to occur on or prior to the later of (i) April 30, 2021 and (ii) the final determination, in accordance with Section 2.06(b), of and, to the extent

applicable, payment of both Earn-Out Payments, then Buyer shall, as a condition precedent to such Change in Control, cause all counterparties (including the buyer(s)), transferees or surviving entities, each to the extent applicable) with respect to such Change in Control to assume, in all respects, all of the obligations of Buyer that are set forth in this Section 2.06. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.06(d), Buyer shall remain fully responsible for all such obligations if any such counterparty fails to comply with any such obligation.

protective order or the receipt of a written waiver by Buyer, any Seller or any Affiliate or Representative of any Seller is nonetheless, in the written opinion of counsel, legally compelled to disclose Company Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Seller or any such Affiliate or Representative may, without liability under this Agreement, disclose to such tribunal only that portion of the Confidential Information which, upon the advice such counsel, such Seller or such Affiliate or Representative is legally required to disclose.

6.13 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) From the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary thereof (the "Restricted Period"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Seller, agrees that she shall not, and shall cause her respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through any Person or contractual arrangement:

The Companies generally are engaged in aviation aftermarket support services, aviation repair, aviation overhaul activities, aviation maintenance activities, the provision of aviation parts and components (including pneumatics, fuel systems, electro-mechanical and electrical accessories, interior components, oxygen, main engine controls, hydromechanical units and fuel metering units) and the supply and maintenance repair and overhaul of cargo containers.

(v) Disparage the Companies, Buyer or any of their Affiliates in any way that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the goodwill, reputation or business relationships of the Companies, Buyer or any of their Affiliates with the public generally, or with any of their customers, suppliers or employees.

For the avoidance of doubt, FirstKem, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, engaging in the sale of any chemical or consumable products to FirstKem, LLC's customers who may also be customers of either Company shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 6.13.

(b) For all purposes hereof:

(i) The term "Competitor" means a business engaged in aviation aftermarket support services, aviation repair, aviation overhaul activities, aviation maintenance activities, the provision

of aviation parts and components, including pneumatics, fuel systems, electro-mechanical and electrical accessories, interior components, oxygen, main engine controls, hydromechanical units, fuel metering units and the supply and maintenance repair and overhaul of cargo containers that is directly or indirectly competitive with the Company or any subsidiary thereof during the Restricted Period.

(ii) The term "Competitive Activity" means selling products or providing repair services that are of the type of parts or products that are included in the FAA Accepted Capability List that identifies specific part numbers which the Company is permitted to provide repair service (as updated through the Closing); and includes the servicing of parts or products that are interchangeable with, or otherwise provide substantially similar functions as, parts or products that may be produced or sold by another manufacturer and upgrades or replacement versions of such parts or products. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be prohibited from providing products, parts or services that consist of or are interchangeable with, or otherwise provide substantially similar functions as, parts or products that are identified on the Company's FAA Accepted Capability List, as updated through the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.13, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be prohibited (including during the Restricted Period) to the extent not within the scope of the Competitive Activity, (a) from working with other aviation companies or on her own in the aviation industry or (b) from providing parts or products or servicing parts or products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.13(b)(ii), FirstKem, LLC's sale of consumable products (including chemical or other expendable products) to any customers shall not constitute a "Competitive Activity".

(iii) "Company Customer" means any Person that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ contacted, solicited, serviced or had access to Confidential Information in respect of.

(iv) "Solicit" is defined as soliciting, inducing, attempting to induce, or assisting any other Person, whether direct or indirect, in any such solicitation, inducement or attempted inducement, in all cases regardless of whether the initial contact was by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Company Customer or any other Person.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that her covenants set forth in this Section 6.13 are an essential and material element of this Agreement and that any breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any provision of this Section 6.13 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, Buyer shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising therefrom, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has independently consulted with her counsel and after such consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.13 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of Buyer.

(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 6.13 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the Parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ conduct that are reasonable in consideration of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to Buyer the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 6.13 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to Buyer the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by Buyer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

6.14 Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy. The Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy shall not be amended without Sellers' Representative's prior written consent. Sellers'

Representative may, in his sole discretion, withhold, condition or delay any such consent with respect to any amendment to the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy that (a) provides the insurer thereunder with a right of subrogation against any Seller (other than with respect to any specific Seller's Actual Fraud) or (b) would reasonably be expected to result in any Seller having any liability or material obligation (other than with respect to any specific Seller's Actual Fraud) in excess of the liability for such Loss that such Seller would have under Article 9. Other than as set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence, Sellers' Representative may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent.

Sellers agree, jointly and severally, (a) to satisfy all of the Companies' obligations to pay XLS's fees and any other payments that become payable as of consummation of the Closing and the other Transactions and reimburse XLS's expenses as required by the XLS Agreement, so that neither Company, following the Closing, shall have any obligation or other liability to XLS under or otherwise in respect of the XLS Agreement, and (b) to take no action that would result in

either Company having any additional or other payment obligation under or otherwise in respect of the XLS Agreement.

Sellers shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) at its own expense in a timely manner the Tax Returns required to be filed for the Companies for any tax year ending on or before the Closing Date (a "Seller Tax Return"). Any such Seller Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). Any Seller Return in which the income of the Company passes through to the Sellers, including Forms 1065 and comparable state Tax Returns (a "Seller Pass-Through Tax Return"), shall be submitted by Sellers' Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Buyer, supporting documentation) to Buyer at least 15 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Seller Tax Return.

such Taxes to be paid by Sellers will be paid pro rata (based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) and by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account of Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Seller fails to pay its portion of the amount, if any, due in any Other Seller Tax Return under this Section 7.02(b), and if Buyer thereafter obtains payment from the Escrow Agent using a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, then the Seller that failed to pay such amount shall replenish the Indemnity Escrow Fund by paying such amount to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall not, after the Closing, without the prior written consent of Sellers' Representative (which consent Sellers' Representative may, in its sole discretion, withhold), either (i) amend any Seller Tax Return or (ii) take any action (including making any prior period adjustments) that would require any Seller Tax Return to be amended.

7.03 Straddle Tax Returns.

(a) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by any Company for any Straddle Period (each, a "Straddle Tax Return"), and any such Straddle Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Law) and shall be submitted by Buyer to Sellers' Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Sellers' Representative, supporting documentation) at least 30 prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Straddle Tax Return.

(b) If Sellers' Representative objects to any item on any such Straddle Tax Return, they shall, within 10 days after delivery of such Straddle Tax Return, notify Buyer in writing that they so object, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Buyer and Sellers' Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Buyer and Sellers' Representative are unable to reach such agreement within 10 days after receipt by Buyer of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 20 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures (or such other time as Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers' Representative, on the other hand, shall agree in writing). If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date (taking into account any valid extensions) for such Tax Return, such Straddle Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee's resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Buyer, on one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. Any costs, fees or expenses of the Accounting Referee to be paid by Sellers will be paid by Sellers, jointly and severally.

(c) Prior to or after the filing a Straddle Tax Return, Buyer may provide to Sellers' Representative a statement (a "Tax Due Statement") setting forth the applicable portion of Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period that are allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period, which shall be determined as follows:

(i) in the case of any real property, personal property, ad valorem and similar Taxes ("Property Tax"), the amount of such Property Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Property Tax for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of total days in the entire Straddle Period; and

(ii) in the case of any Tax that is based on income, sales, revenue, production or similar items, or other Taxes not described in Section 7.03(c)(i), the amount any such Tax that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date.

Sellers shall pay Buyer the amount of Taxes set forth on the Tax Due Statement within 10 Business Days of Sellers' Representatives receipt of a Tax Due Statement (unless Sellers invoke the Straddle Tax Return resolution procedure in Section 7.03(b), in which case Sellers shall pay Buyer within 10 Business Days after final resolution by the Accounting Referee). Any such Taxes to be paid by Sellers will be paid pro rata (based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) and by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account of Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Seller fails to pay its portion of the amount, if any, due to Buyer under this Section 7.03, and if Buyer thereafter obtains payment from the Escrow Agent using a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, then the Seller that failed to pay such amount shall replenish the Indemnity Escrow Fund by paying such amount to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

7.04 Refunds. The amount of any refund of any Tax of any Company attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is received by Buyer or any Company shall, only if and to the extent such refund of Taxes is in excess of the amount, if any, reflected for such refund of Taxes as a current asset in the Final Working Capital Amount, be the property of Sellers pro rata (based on the Seller Applicable Percentages). If any such refund of Taxes is received by Buyer or any Company after the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to each such Seller such pro rata share (based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) of such refund of Taxes within 15 days after Buyer's receipt thereof.

7.05 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing, Tax allocation, Tax indemnity, or any similar written or unwritten agreement, arrangement, understanding, or practice relating to Taxes binding upon any Company shall be terminated as of the date that is one day before the Closing Date and, on and after the Closing Date, none of the Companies shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

7.06 S Election. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, neither any Company nor any Seller shall revoke any Company's election to be taxed as an S corporation, and neither any Company nor any Seller shall take or allow any action to be taken (other than the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) that would result in the termination of any Company's taxation as an S corporation. If the S corporation election of any Company is terminated or invalidated for any reason, Sellers, the Company and Buyer agree to, or to cause the Company to, take such action (at Sellers' expense) as are reasonably necessary to seek relief from such termination or invalidity pursuant to Code Section 1362(f) and the Treasury Regulations and any administrative pronouncements, as well as any similar applicable state or local Law.

7.07 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) At Buyer's option, Sellers, comprising all of the shareholders of the Companies, shall make a joint election with Buyer under Code Section 338(h)(10) and any comparable provisions of state or local applicable Law (the "Section 338(h)(10) Election") with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of either or both of the Companies for federal income tax purposes in accordance with applicable Law. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other to take all actions necessary and appropriate as may be required to effect and preserve such Section 338(h)(10) Election. Buyer shall be responsible for the timely filing of the 338(h)(10) Elections with the applicable Governmental Authorities and shall send the Sellers' Representative proof of filings.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall execute and deliver to Buyer Form 8023 (and any similar forms required under state or local applicable Tax Law) for the Companies ("Section 338(h)(10) Forms"), and Buyer shall execute and file such forms in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 338 or state or local law, as the case may be. Buyer shall deliver drafts of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms to the Sellers' Representative for its review and approval, at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After the Closing Date, Sellers shall also sign any properly completed and substitute Section 338(h)(10) Forms provided by Buyer, if any such form is consistent with this Section 7.07. Buyer shall advise the Sellers' Representative in writing within 30 days of the Closing whether or not Buyer desires a Section 338(h)(10) Election to be made for either or both of the Companies.

(c) If the Section 338(h)(10) Election is made for one or both Companies, this Section 7.07 shall apply. Sellers and Buyer agree to allocate the Separate Purchase Price and all Earn-Out Payments (if any) in respect of the applicable Company, less amounts deposited in the Indemnity Escrow Fund in respect of the applicable Company, plus the liabilities of the applicable Company and plus any other relevant items permitted by applicable Law ("Aggregate Allocated Amount") among the assets of the Company making the Section 338(h)(10) Election in the manner provided for in Section 7.09 (the "Purchase Price Allocation," as defined in Section 7.09). All references to Classes in this Section 7.07 shall refer to those Classes specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.338-6. Upon the distribution of any amounts from the Indemnity Escrow, the Aggregate Allocated Amount shall be increased by the amount of the distribution and such amount shall be allocated to Class VI and Class VII. Sellers and Buyer hereby agree that the Purchase Price Allocation shall be conclusive and binding on each of them (and their respective Affiliates) for all Tax purposes and that they will not take nor permit their Affiliates to take any position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation unless otherwise required by applicable Law; provided that neither Sellers, Buyer nor the applicable Company making the Section 338(h)(10) Election shall be prevented from making a further allocation of any Aggregate Allocated Amount which was allocated to assets of the Company contained in Class VI and Class VII (including as a result of any Earn-Out Payments) as such Party may ultimately determine for purposes of its Tax Returns as long as such assets are included in Class VI or Class VII under Treasury Regulations § 1.338-6. Each Company making the Section 338(h)(10) Election and Buyer shall timely file its respective Forms 8883 (and any similar forms required under state or local tax law) in a manner which is consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation for the applicable Company.

(d) If one or both Companies make the Section 338(h)(10) Election, as provided below, Buyer shall pay to Sellers (pro rata based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) as additional Purchase Price in respect of any such electing Company an amount equal to the Taxes that are imposed on or incurred by Sellers which exceed those Taxes which Sellers would have incurred from the sale of the stock of the applicable Company if the Section 338(h)(10) Election had not been made (the "Gross-up Payment"). The Gross-up Payment shall be computed using an assumed tax rate on long-term capital gains of 20.00% (the "Assumed Capital Gains Rate") and an assumed rate on income or gains other than long-term capital gains of 37.00% (the "Assumed Non-Capital Gains Rate"), and shall be equal to the sum of (i) the increased Tax liability of Sellers resulting from the deemed sale of assets and liquidation of the Company for Tax purposes based on the Section 338(h)(10) Election (as opposed to a sale of the stock if the Section 338(h)(10) Election had not been made), and (ii) the increased Tax liability of Sellers as a result of receipt of the amounts described in the immediately foregoing clause (i) and this clause (ii). For the purpose of determining the Gross-up Payment, (A) it will be assumed that Sellers have a long-term holding period in the stock of the applicable Company, (B) no Tax items of Sellers other than such Seller's tax basis in the stock of the applicable Company and the Tax items allocated to such Seller from the applicable Company or recognized by such Seller) as a result of the deemed sale of assets and liquidation of the applicable Company pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections will be considered in the determination, (C) the Assumed Capital Gains Rate shall be used to

determine the Tax liability of Sellers upon the sale of the stock if the Section 338(h)(10) Elections had not been made, (D) the Assumed Capital Gains Rate shall be used to determine the Tax liability of Sellers on any gain allocated to such Seller from the deemed sale of assets qualifying for long-term capital gain upon the deemed sale of assets of the applicable Company pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any gain recognized by such Seller on such Seller's stock resulting from the deemed liquidation of the applicable Company pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Election, and (E) the Assumed Non-Capital Gain Rate shall be used to determine the Tax liability of Sellers on any income or non-long-term capital gains allocated to such Seller from the deemed sale of assets pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Election. In addition, the amount of income and non-long-term gain in subparagraph (E) that is subject to the Assumed Non-Capital Gains Rate on the deemed sale of assets shall be reduced by the deduction allowed to Sellers under Section 199A(a) of the Code (as limited by Section 199A(b)(2) of the Code assuming that no Seller is subject to the modifications to the limit based on such Seller’s taxable income contained in Section 199A(b)(3) of the Code); in this regard, it shall be assumed that such deduction is available to Sellers to reduce their ordinary income arising from a deemed sale of assets as a result any Section 338(h)(10) Election made by one or both of the Companies but only to the extent that, for the tax year that includes the deemed sale of assets as the result of any Section 338(h)(10) Election, the amount described in Section 199A(b)(2)(B) for a Company that makes a 338(h)(10) Election exceeds the amount described in Section 199A(b)(2)(A) for such Company determined without regard to any Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(e) For the sake of clarity, a separate calculation as described in the prior sentence shall be made in respect of the stock of each Company that makes the Section 338(h)(10) Election. If Buyer timely advises Sellers' Representative pursuant to Section 7.07 that Buyer desires the Section 338(h)(10) Election to be made for one or both Companies, within 30 days of Sellers' Representative's receipt of the Tentative Purchase Price Allocation from Buyer pursuant to Section 7.07, Sellers' Representative shall deliver a schedule to Buyer for each Company making the Section 338(h)(10) Election showing the computation of the Gross-up Payment in respect of each Seller of a Company making the Section 338(h)(10) Election, showing all information necessary to the computation. Any such schedule shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties unless Buyer, within 30 days of the delivery of such schedule, notifies Sellers' Representative in reasonable detail of any objections thereto. If any such Buyer objection is provided, it shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii). In such a case, the amount of the Gross-up Payment shall become final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties upon the earliest of (i) the agreement by the Buyer and Sellers' Representative with respect thereto, and (ii) the decision by the Accounting Referee with respect to any disputes pursuant to this Section 7.07 according to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii), subject to the potential need for an Adjusted Gross-up Payment under Section 7.07. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith to finalize the amount of the Gross-up Payment no later than 60 days before the deadline for filing the Section 338(h)(10) Election. The payments of the Gross-up Payment by Buyer to Sellers in respect of any applicable Company shall be made at least 10 days prior to the due date for payment of such Tax.

(f) If there is a Tax Contest relating to the Purchase Price Allocation in respect of either or both of the Companies, and the Final Determination of any such Tax Contest results in an adjustment to the applicable Purchase Price Allocation, Buyer and Sellers' Representative agree to re-compute the Gross-up Payment based on the Purchase Price Allocation, but with the adjustments from the Final Determination ("Adjusted Gross-up Payment"). If the Adjusted Gross-up Payment is greater than the Gross-up Payment previously paid by Buyer in respect of the applicable Company, Buyer shall pay the difference to Sellers (pro rata based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) within 15 days of the determination of the Adjusted Gross-up Payment, and if the Adjusted Gross-up Payment is less than the Gross-up Payment previously paid by Buyer in respect of the applicable Company, Sellers shall pay the difference to Buyer (severally in

proportion to the Seller Applicable Percentages but not jointly) within 15 days of the determination of the Adjusted Gross-up Payment.

7.08 Cooperation. Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates, to provide any other Party with such cooperation and information as such Party may reasonably request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article 7 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Companies. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax authorities. Each Party agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to, retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period for the full period of any statute of limitations of the respective Pre-Closing Tax Period (and, to the extent notified by another Party, any extensions thereof). Sellers' Representative shall give prompt written notice to Buyer if any Seller (or any Affiliate of any Seller) receives any communication or notice with respect to any audit, review, examination, assessment, investigation, or administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the Taxes of or attributable to any Company that, if pursued successfully, would result in or give rise to liability of any Company, Buyer, or any of their Affiliates for Taxes. Each Party further agrees, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax (including any Transfer Tax) that would be imposed on any such Party (or its Affiliates), including with respect to the Transactions.

7.09 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) The Sellers and Buyer agree to allocate the Purchase Price as of the Closing Date between the stock of each Company in the manner provided for in this Section 7.09. Buyer shall, within 7 days after it delivers the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet to Sellers' Representative pursuant to Section 7.07, deliver to Sellers' Representative a tentative allocation of the Purchase Price to the stock of the Florida Company and to the stock of the Ohio Company (plus any other relevant items permitted by applicable Law) (the "Tentative Separate Purchase Price Allocation"). Such Tentative Separate Purchase Price Allocation shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties (i.e., it shall constitute the Separate Purchase Price Allocation) unless Sellers' Representative, within 30 days of such delivery, notifies the Buyer in reasonable detail of any objections thereto. If such a Sellers' Representative objection is provided, it shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii). In such a case, the amount of the allocation of the Purchase Price (plus any other relevant items permitted by applicable Law) shall become final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties (the "Separate Purchase Price Allocation") upon the earliest of (i) the agreement by the Buyer and Sellers' Representative with respect thereto, and (ii) the decision by the Accounting Referee with respect to any disputes pursuant to this Section 7.07 according to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii), subject to the potential need to adjust the Separate Purchase Price Allocation as a result of subsequent payments made under this Agreement that are to be treated, as applicable, as a payment of additional Purchase Price or a reduction of Purchase Price under this Agreement. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith to finalize the amount of the Separate Purchase Price Allocation no later than 60 days before the deadline for filing the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(b) If Buyer timely advises Sellers' Representative pursuant to Section 7.07 that Buyer desires the Section 338(h)(10) Election to be made for one or both Companies, Buyer shall, within 5 days after it delivers the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet to Sellers' Representative pursuant to Section 7.07, deliver to Sellers' Representative a tentative allocation of the Purchase Price and liabilities of each of the Companies (plus any other relevant items permitted by applicable Law) among the assets of each Company making the Section 338(h)(10) Election (the "Tentative Purchase Price Allocation"). Such

Tentative Purchase Price Allocation shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties (i.e., it shall constitute the Purchase Price Allocation) unless Sellers' Representative shall have, within 30 days notified the Buyer in reasonable detail of any objections thereto. If such a Sellers' Representative objection is provided, it shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii). In such a case, the amount of the allocation of the Purchase Price and liabilities of the Company (plus any other relevant items permitted by applicable Law) shall become final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties (the "Purchase Price Allocation") upon the earliest of (i) the agreement by the Buyer and Sellers' Representative with respect thereto, and (ii) the decision by the Accounting Referee with respect to any disputes pursuant to this Section 7.07 according to the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(b)(iii), subject to the potential need to adjust the Purchase Price Allocation as a result of subsequent payments made under this Agreement that are to be treated, as applicable, as a payment of additional Purchase Price or a reduction of Purchase Price under this Agreement. In making any Tentative Allocation or Purchase Price Allocation, the Parties shall act consistently with the Tentative Separate Allocation or Separate Purchase Price Allocation, as applicable. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith to finalize the amount of the Purchase Price Allocation for any applicable Company no later than 60 days before the deadline for filing the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(c) If the Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, Sellers and Buyer agree to file their respective Internal Revenue Service Forms 8883 and all applicable federal, state and local Tax Returns (including any Seller Pass-Through Tax Return) in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) if the Separate Purchase Price Allocation becomes final, conclusive and binding pursuant to Section 7.09, and Buyer Parent's independent auditors subsequently determine that such Separate Purchase Price Allocation must be adjusted for Buyer Parent's financial reporting purposes, Buyer shall use such adjusted Separate Purchase Price Allocation as the Separate Purchase Price Allocation for its income tax purposes, and Sellers shall be permitted (but not required) to do so as well, and (ii) if the Section 338(h)(10) Election is made and the Purchase Price Allocation becomes final, conclusive and binding pursuant to Section 7.09, and Buyer Parent's independent auditors subsequently determine that such Purchase Price Allocation must be adjusted for Buyer Parent's financial reporting purposes, Buyer shall use such adjusted Separate Purchase Price Allocation as the Purchase Price Allocation for its income tax purposes, and Sellers shall be permitted (but not required) to do so as well. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.09, except for the prior sentence, this Section 7.09 shall be in all respects subject to Section 7.07.

7.10 Tax Contests.

(a) The procedures set forth in Section 9.06(a) shall apply to any Tax Contest involving a Seller Tax Return, except as provided in this Section 7.10(a). Buyer will have the right to participate, at its own expense, in any such Tax Contest. Neither the Sellers' Representative nor the Sellers will settle or compromise any such Tax Contest involving a Seller Tax Return without Buyer's prior written consent if such contest is reasonably anticipated to affect the Tax liability of any of the Companies or Buyer for any Tax period ending on or after the Closing Date or if Buyer is not otherwise indemnified for the Taxes to which the contest relates. In such case, Buyer's consent will not be treated as unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Buyer elects not to participate in any such contest, the Sellers' Representative will keep Buyer informed of the progress of such contest and consult with Buyer in good faith in connection therewith.

(b) The procedures set forth in Section 9.06(a) shall apply to any Tax Contest involving any Straddle Period Tax, except as provided in this Section 7.10(b). Buyer will have the sole and exclusive right, power and authority to negotiate, resolve, settle or contest any such notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment or assertion of claim or demand in connection with any examination, investigation, audit or other Tax Contest concerning a Straddle Period Tax Return. Sellers' Representative will have the right to participate,

at his own expense, in any Tax Contest involving a Straddle Period Tax Return. Buyer will notify the Sellers' Representative of any such contest. Buyer will not permit any such contest to be settled or compromised without Sellers' Representative prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Sellers' Representative elects not to participate in any such contest, Buyer will keep Sellers' Representative informed of the progress of such contest and consult with Sellers' Representative in good faith in connection therewith.

7.11 Conflict. In the event of conflict between any of the provisions of this Article 7 and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 7 shall control.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any provision of Article 3 or Article 4 (including any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article 3 or Article 4); provided that for the purpose of determining (i) if a breach thereof has occurred, except for Section 4.31, and (ii) the amount of the related Losses, the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be qualified by any Materiality Qualifications;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by any one or more Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any breach or non-fulfillment of Article 3 or Article 4 (including with respect to any inaccuracy in or any breach of any representation or warranty that is set forth in Article 3 or Article 4)); and

(c) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of either Company with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (including the requirement of Sellers to recognize income and gain as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, if made, described in Section 7.07(a) (subject to Section 7.07(d))) or the portion of any Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date (consistent with Section 7.03(c)) or with respect to any transaction or event occurring during any such period, unless included in the Final Working Capital Amount.

9.03 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 9, Buyer shall indemnify Sellers, Sellers' Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified Parties") against, and shall defend and hold Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, and pay and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in Article 5; provided that for the sole purpose of determining Losses (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of representations or warranties have occurred), the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article 5 shall not be deemed to be qualified by any Material Qualification; and

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

9.04 Certain Limitations. The Person or Persons making a claim under this Article 9 is referred to as the "Indemnified Party," and the Person or Persons against which such claims are asserted under this Article 9 is referred to as the "Indemnifying Party." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification provided for in Sections 9.02 and 9.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Other than with respect to indemnification with respect to breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations and claims based on any Seller's intentional misconduct or fraud, in which case the following limitation shall not apply, Sellers shall not be liable to Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 9.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.02(a) exceeds $450,000 (the "Deductible"), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. Except for Seller Fundamental Representations and claims based on any Seller's intentional misconduct or fraud, Sellers shall not have any liability for an Indemnification Claim under Section 9.02(a) for any individual item where the Losses related to such claim (or series of claims arising from the same or substantially similar facts or circumstances) are less than $15,000, and once the aggregate amount of Losses for such claim (or series of claims arising from the same or substantially similar facts or circumstances) exceed $75,000 all Losses related thereto will be included in determining if the Deductible has been exceeded.

(b) Subject to Section 9.05(a), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.02(a) with respect to any Loss if the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties have received indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a) is equal to or has exceeded an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount; provided, however that, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.04(b), with respect to Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon the Buyer Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.02(a) with respect to any Loss if the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties have

received indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a) has exceeded the following amount: (i) the Purchase Price, less (ii) the aggregate amount, up to a maximum of $10,000,000, of the Company Indebtedness Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, in determining whether the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties have received indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a) of this Agreement has exceeded such amount, all amounts recovered by any Buyer Indemnified Party from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or under the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy shall be counted as "Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties have received indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a)."

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 9.04(a) or 9.04(b), the limitations set forth in Sections 9.04(a) and 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Losses recoverable from Sellers to the extent that such Losses are caused by Sellers' Actual Fraud, but subject to the limitations in Section 9.05.

(d) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Sections 9.02 or 9.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds (other than any proceeds of the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy, the use of which proceeds is addressed by Section 9.05) and any indemnity, contribution or any other payment or reimbursement received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such matter or claim, including, with respect to Buyer, those recovered by any Company after Closing (collectively, the "Insurance Proceeds"). Any Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter shall be calculated net of any Insurance Proceeds. If any Insurance Proceeds are received by any Indemnified Party after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9, any such Indemnified Party shall promptly remit such Insurance Proceeds to the applicable Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery of any Insurance Proceeds with respect to any matter that is the subject of a claim for indemnification prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable actions to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(f) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under Section 9.04(a) or 9.04(b) for any Losses if and to the extent such Losses consist of amounts that are payable by either Party pursuant to Section 2.04. In other words, there shall be no double counting or double recovery, under Section 9.04(a) or 9.04(b), with respect to amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.04.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses, to the extent that such Losses would not have arisen but for, or have been increased as a result of, any voluntary act, omission or transaction carried out before the Closing by either Company at the written direction or request or with the written consent of Buyer.

9.05 Sources of Recovery. Subject in all respects to Sections 9.04, 9.06 and 9.08, each Buyer Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to recover any Losses as follows:

(a) With respect to all amounts payable by Sellers to Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02(a) (other than by reason of Sellers' breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation), the Buyer Indemnified Parties' sole sources of recovery for Losses in excess of the Deductible shall be:

(i) First, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund; and

(ii) Secondly, to the extent that the Indemnity Escrow Fund has been exhausted and subject to Buyer paying the full amount of any then remaining retention with respect to the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy, from the Representations and Warranties Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to recover directly from Sellers pursuant to Section 9.02(a), other than by reason of (A) any breach by one or more Sellers of any Seller Fundamental Representation, the recovery of which shall be governed by Section 9.05(b) or (B) Actual Fraud by any specific Seller, in which event such Buyer Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to recover directly from such specific Seller that has committed such Actual Fraud.

(b) With respect to all amounts payable by Sellers to Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02(a) by reason of Sellers' breach of any Seller Fundamental Representations, the Buyer Indemnified Parties' sole sources of recovery shall be:

(i) First, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund;

(iii) Thirdly, to the extent of all amounts payable by Sellers to Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02(a) from Sellers, severally and jointly (except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3, as to which, in each case, such Buyer Indemnified Party may recover only from the Seller making each such representation or warranty and not from any other Seller).

(c) With respect to all amounts payable by Sellers to Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.02(b), the Buyer Indemnified Parties' sole sources of recovery shall be:

(i) First, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund; and

(ii) Secondly, to the extent that the Indemnity Escrow Fund has been exhausted, from Sellers, severally and jointly (except (A) that to the extent that, any obligation pursuant to Article 6 is only the obligation of a particular Seller(s), Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover only from such Seller(s) and not from any other Seller(s), (B) with respect to any breach by any individual Seller of such Seller's obligations pursuant to Sections 6.11, 6.12 or 6.13, as to which, in each case, such Buyer Indemnified Party may recover only from the Seller breaching such obligation and not from any other Seller or (C) that to the extent that any obligation pursuant to Article 7 is only the obligation of a particular Seller(s), Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover only from such specific Seller(s), jointly and severally, and not from any other Seller(s)).

9.06 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims.

(i) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party or a Representative of the foregoing (a "Third-Party Claim") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only

to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Each such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the good faith estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in good faith in such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding as contemplated in this Section 9.06(a), the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to conduct the defense of such claim or legal proceeding and shall have the right to take any action it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims with respect to any Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof.

(iv) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.06(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.

(v) Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to Section 6.12) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as provided in this Section 9.06(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim solely for monetary payment that will be paid by the Indemnifying Party without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation (or any injunctive or other form of relief) on the part of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates and provides, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.

(ii) If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the

Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.06(a), it shall not agree to any settlement or other determination without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(i) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the good faith estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the premises and personnel of any Company and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period (or if in its response it disputes such Direct Claim), the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

9.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.08 Exclusive Remedy. Other than with respect to Buyer's obligations pursuant to Section 10.03, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to (a) any and all claims for any breach (or alleged breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement, (b) otherwise with respect to the performance or breach of this Agreement, (c) the Transactions or (d) otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9. In furtherance of the foregoing in this Section 9.08, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (including claims based upon fraud (including Actual Fraud)) it may have against the other Party, its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, whether at law or in equity, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that it may not avoid such limitation on remedies by (i) seeking other damages for breach of contract, tort or other theory of liability (including claims based upon fraud (including Actual Fraud)), or other equitable relief, all of which are hereby waived or (ii) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a Party (or an heir, legal representative, successor or permitted assign with respect to any Party) for, or relating to or arising from, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in

this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.08, this Section 9.08 shall not limit Buyer's right to seek or obtain any equitable relief to which Buyer shall be entitled pursuant to Section 11.15, against only such particular Seller, with respect to any post-Closing breach by any particular Seller of Sections 6.12 or 6.13.

9.09 Right of Setoff. Buyer or Buyer's Parent may offset any amounts to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under Sections 9.02(a) and 9.05(b)(iii) for breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations against any amounts otherwise payable hereunder by Buyer or Buyer's Parent to any one or more Sellers or Sellers' Representative on behalf of Sellers, including Earn-Out Payments and any and all other payments required by Buyer or Buyer's Parent hereunder, provided that the ability of Buyer's and Buyer's Parent to exercise such right of offset (a) shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 9, including Sections 9.04 and 9.05(b), and (b) may only be pursued to the extent the then Indemnity Escrow Fund is otherwise insufficient to satisfy the aggregate amount of all pending Indemnification Claims (the amount of the shortfall in the Indemnity Escrow Fund hereinafter the "Setoff Amount"). If Buyer or Buyer's Parent wishes to exercise the rights provided in this Section 9.09, (a) Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers' Representative a notice (a "Setoff Notice") specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of the respective claims for breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations and the Setoff Amount and (b) to the extent of the claims set forth in the Setoff Notice are finally resolved in any Seller's favor (whether by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers' Representative or by final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction), Buyer or Buyer's Parent, as the case may be, shall within five Business Days thereafter pay the portion of the Setoff Amount resolved in Sellers favor to the Sellers, together with interest thereon in accordance with this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10

(a) By the unanimous written consent of Sellers' Representative and Buyer;

(b) By Buyer by written notice to Sellers' Representative if:

(i) Buyer is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any one or more Sellers pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Sections 8.01 or 8.03 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by Sellers on or before the Outside Date; or

(ii) Any of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01 or 8.03 shall not have been fulfilled on or before the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing.

(i) No Seller is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the

conditions specified in Sections 8.01 or 8.02 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by Buyer on or before the Outside Date;

(ii) Any of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01 or 8.02 shall not have been fulfilled on or before the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Sellers to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(iii) (A) All of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.03 have been satisfied (or, upon an immediate Closing, would be satisfied as of such Closing), (B) Sellers' Representative has delivered written notice to Buyer irrevocably confirming that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 have been satisfied or waived and Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Transactions, and (C) Buyer fails to consummate the Transactions on or prior to the second Business Day following Sellers' Representative's delivery of the written notice specified in the immediately foregoing clause (B).

10.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Article 10, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party except:

(a) Section 6.11, Section 6.12 and Article 11 and this Article 10 and the Parties' obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement; and

(b) Nothing in this Article 10 shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful and knowing breach of any covenant (as opposed to representations, warranties and conditions) of this Agreement if the other Party terminates this Agreement as a result of such breach.

10.03 Fees and Expenses Following Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by Sellers' Representative pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) or 10.01(c)(iii), or by Buyer other than pursuant to Section 10.01(a), 10.01(b) or 10.01(d), then Buyer will pay, within two Business Days after such termination, to each Seller its pro rata share (based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) of a termination fee equal to $1,750,000, plus, up to a maximum of $400,000 for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, financial advisors and investment bankers of each Seller and the Companies), incurred by each Seller and each of the Companies or otherwise on their behalf, during the period commencing on December 7, 2018 and ending on the date of the termination of this Agreement, in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and any transactions related thereto (including the Transactions) (collectively, the "Termination Fee").

(b) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 10.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without such provisions, Sellers would not have entered into this

Agreement. If Buyer shall fail to pay the Termination Fee to Sellers within five Business Days after the termination of this Agreement that causes the Termination Fee to become payable, and, to obtain the payment from Buyer of the Termination Fee, Sellers' Representative makes a claim (including any Action) against Buyer that results in a judgment against Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Sellers' Representative the Termination Fee, plus the reasonable costs and expenses of Sellers' and of each Company (including their reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or accrued in connection with such claim. Additionally, if Buyer shall fail to pay the Termination Fee to Sellers within five Business Days after the termination of this Agreement that causes the Termination Fee to become payable, Buyer shall pay to Sellers' Representative interest on the Termination Fee and, as applicable, on the amounts of any costs and expenses payable by Buyer pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence at the prime lending rate prevailing from time to time during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal. Any interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of actual payment, and on the basis of a 360-day year. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Buyer be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the monetary remedies set forth in Sections 10.03(a) and 10.03(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Sellers (and the Companies) against Buyer, and Buyers' Parent and Affiliates thereof for any Losses suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing (and other Transactions) to be consummated and upon payment of the Termination Fee and, if applicable, such other amounts required to be paid under Section 10.03(b), none of Buyers, Buyers' Parent or Affiliates thereof shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

11.03 Recitals; Interpretation. The recitals are hereby incorporated by reference into the Agreement for all purposes. For purposes of this Agreement: (a) the words "include," "includes" and "including" shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation"; (b) the word "or" is not exclusive; (c) the words "herein," "hereof," "hereby," "hereto" and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole; and (d) the word "extent" in the phrase "to the extent" means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase does not simply mean "if." Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement: (i) to "Articles," "Sections," "Schedules," "Disclosure Schedules," and "Exhibits" mean, respectively, the referenced Articles and Sections of, and Schedules, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits to, this Agreement; (ii) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; (iii) "DS Section" means the referenced section of the Disclosure Schedules; and (iv) to applicable "Law(s)" or a "statute" means such Law(s) or statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. The Schedules, Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim in this Agreement.

11.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

11.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner so that the Transactions can be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules, the other documents referred to in this Agreement to be delivered in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and in such Exhibits, Disclosure Schedules, other documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, negotiations, discussions, proposals, undertakings, understandings, covenants and agreements (including draft agreements (including non-final versions of this Agreement)), both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and the Exhibits or Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), any such other documents or the Confidentiality Agreement, the statements in the body of this Agreement shall control. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing in this Section 11.06, that certain letter of intent, dated as of December 6, 2018, shall, immediately upon the Closing, terminate and be of no further force or effect.

11.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties (for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of Sellers' Representative shall constitute the consent of Sellers); except that, without any further consent of any Seller or Sellers' Representative, each of Buyer, and Buyer's Parent may assign, collaterally or otherwise, its rights, title and interests under, to and in this Agreement to one or more of its lenders, including Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, as Administrative Agent, as security for the covenants, agreements and obligations of Buyer, Buyer's Parent and their Subsidiaries, including the Companies, under the Fourth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement dated January 5, 2018, by and among Buyer's Parent and other Borrower parties thereto (consisting of subsidiaries of Buyer's Parent, including Buyer), Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, Citizens Bank, National Association, and a syndicate of several other banks, as such agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented. No assignment shall relieve the assigning Party or Parties of any of its (or their) obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in breach of this Section 11.07 shall be void and without effect, ab initio.

11.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Sections 6.06 and 11.20(b) and Article 9, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

11.09 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

11.10 Enforcement Costs. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, if any civil action, arbitration or other legal proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any provision of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing Party or Parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs,

sales and use taxes and all expenses even if not taxable as court costs (including all such fees, taxes, costs and expenses incident to arbitration, appellate, bankruptcy and post judgment proceedings), incurred in that proceeding, in addition to any other relief which such Party or Parties may be entitled. Attorneys' fees shall include paralegal fees, investigative fees, administrative costs, sales and use taxes and all other reasonable charges billed by the attorney to the prevailing Party or Parties (including any fees and costs associated with collecting such amounts).

11.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution Process.

(a) This Agreement, the negotiation, execution, terms and performance of this Agreement, the rights of the Parties under this Agreement, and all Actions arising, in whole or in part, under or in connection with or related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Florida.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that a substantial portion of the negotiations and anticipated performance of this Agreement occurred or will occur exclusively in Broward County, Florida. Any civil action or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the courts of record of the State of Florida in Broward County or the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida in Broward County. Each Party consents to the jurisdiction of such court in any such civil action or legal proceeding and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or legal proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such Party by mail, as provided in this Agreement, or in such other manner as may be provided under Laws.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees that, prior to commencing litigation seeking monetary damages with respect to the Transactions, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to try to resolve the dispute, including by meeting promptly, in person on at least one occasion. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on a resolution of such dispute within 20 days of an initial meeting, the Parties agree to submit, for a period of 60 days, to voluntary non-binding mediation before a jointly selected neutral third party mediator under the auspices of JAMS, Boca Raton, FL Resolutions Center (or any successor location), to be conducted in the State of Florida, Broward County (however, such mediation or obligation to mediate shall not suspend or otherwise delay any termination or other action of the Parties or affect the Parties' other rights).

11.12 No Construction Against Draftsmen. The Parties acknowledge that this is a negotiated agreement, and that in no event shall the terms of this Agreement be construed against any Party on the basis that such Party, or its counsel, drafted this Agreement.

11.13 Captions. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.

11.14 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to an electronic mail message (any such delivery, an "Electronic Delivery"), 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. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic

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

11.15 Equitable Remedies. Subject in all respects to Section 9.08 and only to the extent contemplated by the last sentence of Section 9.08, (a) each of the Parties acknowledges that in the event of a post-Closing breach of Section 6.12 or Section 6.13 by a particular Seller, Buyer may be irreparably damaged (and damages at law may be an inadequate remedy) if Section 6.12 or Section 6.13 (each to the extent applicable) is not specifically enforced against such Seller and (b) therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 6.12 or Section 6.13 by a particular Seller, then Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.08, to seek an injunction against such Seller restraining such breach.

11.16 Sellers' Representative. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the true and lawful representative agent and attorney-in-fact ("Sellers' Representative") of Sellers with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of Sellers with respect to the consummation of the Transactions, including the transfer of the Equity Interests owned by Sellers to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things and execute all such documents as Sellers' Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions, including the power:

(a) to enforce and protect the rights and interests of Sellers and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of Sellers arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument, amendment, modification, waiver, consent or agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions or in connection therewith; without limiting the generality of the foregoing in this Section 11.16(a), this Section 11.16(a) shall ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇' Representative the power to (i) resolve all questions, disputes, conflicts and controversies concerning (A) the determination of, and right to receive, any amounts pursuant to Article 2, or under the Escrow Agreement and (B) disputes with respect to Closing Cash Amount, Working Capital or Straddle Tax Returns pursuant to Article 2 and Article 7, respectively; (ii) employ such agents, consultants and professionals, to delegate authority to its agents, to take such actions and to execute such documents on behalf of Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the Sellers' Representative deems to be in the best interests of Sellers; and (iii) receive notice on behalf of Sellers as explicitly provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.16(a), this Section 11.16(a) shall not be applicable with respect to any matter (including any Action) if such matter (x) is initiated solely by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (y) consists of an Action solely against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or (z) otherwise relates solely to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(b) to enter into the Escrow Agreement on behalf of Sellers;

(c) to take such actions and to execute and deliver such certificates, assignments separate from certificate instruments, amendments, modifications, waivers, consents or agreements or other writings that Sellers' Representative deems necessary, desirable or appropriate to give effect to the matters set forth in this Agreement or in connection with the consummation of the Transactions or any such certificates, instruments, amendments, modifications, waivers, consents or agreements or other writings;

(d) to receive funds, including the Earn-Out Payments, as set forth in this Agreement and give receipts for such funds, it being understood that any such funds received by Sellers' Representative under this Agreement on behalf of Sellers shall be distributed by Sellers' Representative to Sellers pro rata (based on the Seller Applicable Percentages) as if such funds were distributed directly to Sellers;

(e) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of Sellers that Sellers' Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as Sellers could do if personally present (other than any act or deed with respect to any matter (including any Action) if such matter (i) is initiated solely by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (ii) consists of an Action solely against Catalano or (i) otherwise relates solely to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇); and

(f) to exercise any powers or otherwise act on behalf of Sellers as explicitly provided for in this Agreement.

The appointment of Sellers' Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest. All notices or payments made or delivered by Buyer to Sellers' Representative for the benefit of Sellers and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall discharge in full all liabilities and obligations of Buyer to Sellers with respect thereto. Sellers hereby confirm all that Sellers' Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of his appointment as Sellers' Representative. Sellers' Representative shall act for Sellers on all of the matters explicitly set forth in this Agreement in the manner Sellers' Representative believes to be in the best interest of Sellers and consistent with the obligations under this Agreement, but Sellers agree that Sellers' Representative shall not be responsible to Sellers for any loss or damages Sellers may suffer by the performance of his duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from willful violation of the Law or gross negligence in the performance of Sellers' Representative's duties under this Agreement. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ becomes unable to serve as Sellers' Representative for any reason or for no reason, the Sellers holding a majority of the Seller Applicable Percentages may designate another Person to be Sellers' Representative and such Person shall succeed such Sellers' Representative as so becomes unable to serve as Sellers' Representative. As a condition to the appointment of any such other Sellers' Representative, such Person will execute a counterpart to this Agreement and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and provide written notice of same to Buyer.
