1.1 The Merger.

(a) The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Closing, Buyer and the Company shall cause Merger Sub to be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer. At the Closing, Buyer and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger in customary form and substance (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is accepted by the Delaware Secretary of State or at such later time as Buyer and the Company mutually agree in writing and as set forth in the Certificate of Merger (such date and time as the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”).

(b) The Surviving Corporation.

(i) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(A) Certificate of Incorporation. Unless otherwise determined by Buyer prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Shape Security, Inc.”

(B) Bylaws. Unless otherwise determined by Buyer prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

(ii) Directors and Officers.

(A) Directors. Unless otherwise determined by Buyer prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until his or her successors is duly elected and qualified.

(B) Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Buyer prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.2 General Effects of Merger. At the Effective Time, the effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of DGCL (including Section 259(a)).

Each share certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall thereupon evidence ownership only of such shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Company Shares.

(i) Generally. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, the Company Securityholders or any other Person, each Company Share (excluding Company Restricted Stock, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(b)(ii), Cancelled Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(b)(iii), and Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(b)(iv)), that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Closing Payment Per Share (the aggregate amount to be received by a Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(i), a “Company Share Closing Payment”), and (B) any distributions of cash to be made with respect to such Company Share pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii), Section 7.6(g), Section 9.4(b), Section 9.4(d) and Section 10.3. At and after the Effective Time, each Company Shareholder shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law and except for the right of each Company Shareholder to surrender his or her certificate in respect of Company Shares or affidavit of lost common certificate, as applicable, in exchange for the payments described in this Section 1.3(b)(i) and no transfer of Company Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock ledger of Company with respect to Company Shares shall be closed. For purposes of calculating the aggregate amount payable to each Company Shareholder pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(i), (x) all shares of the Company Shares held by each such Company Shareholder shall be aggregated and (y) the amount of cash to be paid to each Company Shareholder for each Company Share of such Company Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

(ii) Company Restricted Stock.

(A) Held by Continuing Employees. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, any Company Securityholder or any other Person, each share of Company Restricted Stock held by each Continuing Employee that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right of the holder to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Closing Payment Per Share (the aggregate amount to be received by a Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)(ii)(A), a “Restricted Stock Closing Payment”), payable subject to and in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to the award of such Company Restricted Stock as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that such payments may be made within fifteen (15) Business Days following an applicable vesting date, except in the case of the Key Employees, in which case such amounts shall be subject to such treatment as is provided in the Holdback Agreement, and (B) any distributions of cash to be made with respect to such Company Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii), Section 7.6(g), Section 9.4(b), Section 9.4(d) and Section 10.3, payable subject to and in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to the award of such Company Restricted Stock as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that such payments may be made within fifteen (15) Business Days following an applicable vesting date, except in the case of the Key Employees, in which case such amounts shall be subject to such treatment as is provided in the Holdback Agreement. Such payments shall be reduced by any income or employment Tax withholding required under the Code or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of such Company Restricted Stock.

(B) Held by Non-Continuing Employees. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall repurchase each share of Company Restricted Stock that is held by a Non-Continuing Employee at the cost such Non-Continuing Employee paid for such share of Company Restricted Stock, if any, and, as a result, Closing Cash will exclude any payments by the Company to repurchase such Company Restricted Stock and Total Outstanding Shares shall exclude all such repurchased Company Restricted Stock.

If any Company Securityholder (other than a Company Securityholder who consented in writing to the Requisite Shareholder Approval) fails to give written notice of its election to dissent from the Merger under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the rights of such Company Securityholder under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease to exist, and the underlying Company Shares shall be cancelled in accordance with Section 1.3(b)(i), and thereupon entitle the holder thereof only to receive the consideration contemplated by such Section 1.3(b)(i), as applicable. The Company shall give Buyer prompt notice, and in any event notice within one (1) Business Day, of any notice or purported notice received by the Company of any Company Securityholder’s intent to exercise and/or exercise of rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, the withdrawal of any such notice and any other documents served upon the Company pursuant to or in connection with Section 262 of the DGCL or a Company Securityholder’s dissent or appraisal rights and Buyer shall have the right to direct on behalf of the Company all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands for appraisal or dissent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld) or as otherwise required by an order, decree, ruling or injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction, make or offer to make any payment with respect to any such exercise of dissenter’s rights or offer to settle or settle any such rights. The payout of consideration under this Agreement to the Company Securityholders in accordance with this Section 1.3 (other than to holders of Dissenting Shares who shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.3(b)(iv) and under the applicable terms of the DGCL) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal or dissenters’ rights by any other Company Securityholder.

(i) Vested Company Options. Except as set forth in Section 1.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, any Company Securityholder or any other Person, each Vested Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the excess of the Closing Payment Per Share, less the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option, multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Vested Company Option (the aggregate amount to be received by a Company Securityholder pursuant to this Section 1.3(c)(i)(A), a “Company Option Closing Payment”), and (B) any distributions of cash to be made with respect to such Vested Company Option pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii), Section 7.6(g), Section 9.4(b), Section 9.4(d) and Section 10.3. Such payments shall be reduced by any income or employment Tax withholding required under the Code or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of such Vested Company Options.

(ii) Unvested Company Options.

(A) Held by Continuing Employees. Except as set forth in Section 1.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, effective as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, any Company Securityholder or any other Person, each Unvested Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Continuing Employee shall be assumed by Buyer and thereupon become a Buyer Option. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Unvested Company Option so assumed by Buyer shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and any accelerated vesting provisions that may be applicable thereto) as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (x) such assumed Unvested Company Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Common Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Buyer Common Stock and (y) the per share exercise price for the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Share at which such assumed Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise price of the Buyer Option, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such Buyer Option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such Buyer Option shall in all events be determined in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and in the case of any Unvested Company Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, Section 424 of the Code.

(B) Held by Non-Continuing Employees. Effective as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, any Company Securityholder or any other Person, each Unvested Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Non-Continuing Employee shall be cancelled without any consideration paid therefor (the “Cancelled Unvested Options”).

(C) Necessary Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the prior review and approval of Buyer, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by Section 1.3(b) and 1.3(c), including delivering evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that all necessary determinations by the Company’s board of directors or applicable committee of the Company’s board of directors to cash out, cancel or provide for the assumption of Company Options, in accordance with Section 1.3(c) have been made.

(d) S-8 Registration. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by Buyer, registering that number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all Unvested Company Options that are assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(c) and are eligible to be registered on Form S-8.

Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Securityholder Representative shall deliver to Buyer a written statement accepting or disputing the Post-Closing Statement. In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall dispute the Post-Closing Statement, such statement shall include a detailed itemization of the Securityholder Representative’s objections and the reasons therefor (such statement, a “Dispute Statement”), as well as the Securityholder Representative’s calculations of the applicable items in the Dispute Statement. Any component of the Post-Closing Statement that is not expressly disputed in a Dispute Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal. If the Securityholder Representative does not deliver a Dispute Statement to Buyer within the Review Period or delivers a statement accepting the Post-Closing Statement, the Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal.

(e) Dispute Resolution. If the Securityholder Representative delivers a Dispute Statement during the Review Period, Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the disputed items set forth in the Dispute Statement during the thirty (30) calendar days immediately following Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Statement, or such longer period as Buyer and the Securityholder Representative may mutually agree (the “Resolution Period”). Any such disputed items that are resolved by Buyer and the Securityholder Representative during the Resolution Period shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal. If Buyer and the Securityholder Representative do not resolve all such disputed items by the end of the Resolution Period, Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall submit all items remaining in dispute with respect to the Dispute Statement to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm upon which Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall reasonably agree (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution, provided that if Buyer and the Securityholder Representative cannot agree during the five (5) calendar days immediately following the end of the Resolution Period, or such longer period as Buyer and the Securityholder Representative may mutually agree, the Accounting Firm shall be Ernst & Young LLP. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. The Accounting Firm shall make all calculations in accordance with the Accounting Principles, shall determine only those items remaining in dispute between Buyer and the Securityholder Representative, and shall only be permitted or authorized to determine an amount with respect to any such disputed item that is either the amount of such disputed item as proposed by Buyer in the Post-Closing Statement or the amount of such disputed item as proposed by the Securityholder Representative in the Dispute Statement. Each of Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall (i) enter into a customary engagement letter with the Accounting Firm at the time such dispute is submitted to the Accounting Firm and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm, (ii) have the opportunity to submit a written statement in support of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items, to provide supporting material to the Accounting Firm in defense of their respective positions with respect to such disputed items and to submit a written statement responding to the other party’s position with respect to such disputed items and (iii) subject to customary confidentiality and indemnity agreements, provide the Accounting Firm with access to their respective books, records, personnel and Representatives and such other information as the Accounting Firm may require in order to render its determination. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver to Buyer and the Securityholder Representative a written determination (such determination to include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Accounting Firm by Buyer and the Securityholder Representative) of the disputed items within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the disputed items, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to appeal. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Accounting Firm will be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties, first out of the Expense Fund, and only after the Expense Fund is exhausted, then from the Indemnifying Parties directly), on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of such items so submitted.

(f) Final Total Closing Consideration. The Total Closing Consideration, calculated based on Total Closing Consideration Adjustment Amount as deemed final and binding on the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 1.4, is referred to herein as the “Final Total Closing Consideration.”

1.5 Further Action. If at any time from and after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Buyer, Merger Sub, and the officers and directors of the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub, are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary action.

No portion of the Total Closing Consideration shall be paid or payable to the holder of any Company Shares until the holder of such Company Shares and delivered validly executed Exchange Documents in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall cause the Payment Agent to pay to each Company Shareholder that has returned a Letter of Transmittal at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and whose Company Share Closing Payment amounts to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate, the Company Share Closing Payment payable in respect of such Company Shareholder’s Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.3 at the Closing.

(c) Negative or No Adjustment.

Buyer has delivered to the Company a true and correct copy of an executed debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”) have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to lend Buyer the amounts set forth therein (the “Financing”) for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer has also delivered to the Company a true and complete (other than the redactions referenced herein) copy of any fee letter related to the Commitment Letter (it being understood that any such fee letter provided to the Company shall be redacted in a customary manner solely with respect to the fees, pricing caps and certain economic terms (including economic flex terms), which redacted information does not adversely affect the amount, availability or conditionality of the funding of the Financing) (any such fee letter, a “Fee Letter”). As of the Agreement Date, the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters (i) are in full force and effect and (ii) have not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect and, as of the Agreement, to the knowledge of Buyer, no such withdrawal, termination or amendment is contemplated. As of the Agreement Date, each Fee Letter and the Commitment Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and, to the knowledge of Buyer, the other parties thereto, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity. As of the Agreement Date, there are no other agreements or side letters relating to the Commitment Letter or Fee Letters to which Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party that would affect the availability of the Financing (other than the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters). As of the Agreement Date, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer under any term or condition of the Commitment Letter or Fee Letters. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. Buyer has (or has caused to be) fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Commitment Letter or Fee Letters to be paid by it on or prior to the Agreement Date. As of the Agreement Date, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III, the performance by the Company of its obligations under Article VII and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), Buyer is not aware of any fact or occurrence that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (i) result in any of the conditions in the Commitment Letter not being satisfied, or (ii) otherwise result in the Financing not being available on a timely basis in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The net proceeds from the Financing, together with cash on hand of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, will be sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer confirms that it is not a condition to Closing or any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Buyer obtain financing for or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.5 Non-Reliance. Except as expressly set forth in Article IV of this Agreement, or the Buyer’s officer’s certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(iii), neither Buyer or Merger Sub nor any of their respective Representatives have made, nor are any of them making any representation or warranty, written or oral, express or implied. Buyer and Merger Sub expressly acknowledge and agree that neither they, nor any of their respective Representatives is relying on any other representation or warranty of the Company or any of its Representatives, whether written or oral, express or implied other than the representations and warranties set forth in Article III. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement but subject to the immediately following sentence, nothing set forth in this Section 4.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement will limit, restrict, impair or otherwise effect, operate as a release of, or be used in any way as a defense against, any rights, remedies or recourse available to Buyer or Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives under applicable Law in the event of fraud arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether based on this Agreement or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer and Merger Sub understand and hereby acknowledge and agree that neither Buyer or Merger Sub nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any right to bring (and hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent allowable under applicable Law the right to file, bring or make) any indemnification claim pursuant to Article IX, or any lawsuit or other claims against the Company or any of its stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives under this Agreement or otherwise arising out of any financial projections or forecasts provided by the Company or its Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.6 Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated this Agreement, including any debt financing being entered into in connection therewith), including the consummation of the Financing and the satisfaction of Buyer’s obligations under Section 2.3(b), and assuming that the representations and warranties of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth herein are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub), taken as a whole, shall be Solvent. For the purpose of this Section 4.6, the term “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination: (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person shall, as of such date, exceed: (A) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors; and (B) the amount that shall be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured; (ii) such Person shall not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date; and (iii) such Person shall be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For the purpose of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person shall be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due. No transfer of property is being made by Buyer or Merger Sub, and no obligation is being incurred by Buyer or Merger Sub, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries.

(a) Requisite Shareholder Approval. Within three (3) hours of the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Shareholder Consent from Company Shareholders that are sufficient to fully and irrevocably deliver the Requisite Shareholder Approval. Promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall solicit Shareholder Consents from all of its remaining Company Shareholders by delivery of an Information Statement (the “Information Statement”). The Company shall promptly deliver to Buyer a copy of each executed Shareholder Consent upon receipt thereof from any Company Shareholder pursuant to such solicitation. Following receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, the Company shall promptly deliver notice to each Company Shareholder whose consent was not obtained prior to the Company’s receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, which notice shall include the notice to shareholders required by the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL of the approval of the Merger. The Company shall (i) give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all materials to be submitted to the Company Shareholders, including the Information Statement, and (ii) consider in good faith, and incorporate therein, all comments reasonably proposed by Buyer.

(b) 280G Approvals. The Company shall solicit (and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) a written 280G waiver, each in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “280G Waiver”), from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) who otherwise would reasonably be expected to receive any payments and/or benefits in connection with the Merger that may constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) (collectively, the “280G Persons”). The Company, prior to the Effective Time, shall submit to the Company Shareholders for approval (in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer), by such number of Company Shareholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments and/or benefits to be paid or provided to any “disqualified individual” that previously executed a 280G Waiver that may separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” (which determination shall be made by the Company and shall be subject to reasonable review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by Buyer), such that such payments and benefits shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. Prior to the Effective Time the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that (i) a Company Shareholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite Company Shareholders approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Company Shareholder vote (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that any such “parachute payments” pursuant to which a 280G Waiver was executed shall not be made or provided, pursuant to such 280G Waiver. The form and substance of all Company Shareholder approval documents contemplated by this Section 7.1(b), including the 280G Waivers, shall be submitted to Buyer at least three (3) days before submission to the disqualified individuals or stockholders, as applicable, for review and reasonable approval of Buyer, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.2 Governmental Approvals.

(a) In furtherance and not in limitation of the terms of Section 7.4, each of the Company, any Subsidiary and Buyer shall file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice a Notification and Report Form relating to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as required by the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days of the Agreement Date (the “HSR Filing”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be responsible for making, with the Company’s reasonable assistance, all filings or notifications as may be required under non-U.S. antitrust, competition, or merger control laws. Each of the Company and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, approvals and consents. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each of the Company and Buyer shall promptly inform the other of any substantive communication between the Company or Buyer (as applicable) and any Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. If the Company or Buyer or any Affiliate thereof shall receive any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, then the Company or Buyer (as applicable) shall make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable, a reasonable response in compliance with such request, and shall consider in good faith the views of the other in the making of such response. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall provide to the other (or the other’s respective advisors) upon request copies of all correspondence between such party and any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 7.2 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. In addition, to the extent reasonably practicable, all discussions, telephone calls, and meetings with a Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall include representatives of all parties. Subject to applicable Law, the parties will consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, and proposals made or submitted to any Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by or on behalf of any party.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Buyer nor Merger Sub shall have any obligation to litigate any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall be required to agree to any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or the imposition of any limitation or restriction on the ability of any of them to conduct their businesses or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not have to agree to take or take any such actions unless conditioned on the Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that Buyer shall, in consultation with the Company and subject to Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b), determine strategy, lead all proceedings and coordinate all activities with respect to seeking any actions, consents, approvals or waivers of any Governmental Entity as contemplated hereby, and the Company and its Subsidiaries will take such actions as reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with obtaining such consents, approvals or waivers. Notwithstanding Buyer’s rights to lead all proceedings as provided in the prior sentence, Buyer shall not require the Company to, and the Company shall not be required to, take any action with respect to any applicable antitrust or anti-competition Law which would bind the Company or its Subsidiaries irrespective of whether the Merger occurs.

7.3 Third-Party Contracts. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of any third parties to any Material Contract (including all of the Contracts set forth in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule) and any other Contract of the Company or its Subsidiaries as may be identified by Buyer, in each case as are required thereunder in connection with the Merger in order for such Contract to remain in full force and effect following the Merger, with the understanding that the Company shall not be required to pay any consent fee or similar payment or agree to any accommodation in each case to the extent not required pursuant to the express terms of such Material Contract or other Contract. Such consents, modifications, waivers and approvals shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer. In the event the Merger does not close for any reason, neither Buyer nor Merger Sub shall have any liability to the Company, the Company Securityholders or any other Person for any costs, claims, Liabilities or damages resulting from the Company seeking to obtain such consents, modifications, waivers and approvals.

7.4 Reasonable Best Efforts to Close. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto (other than the Securityholder Representative) shall use reasonable best efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, all things necessary or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, including by using reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to satisfy all of the conditions to the obligations of the other party or parties hereto to effect the Merger set forth in Article VII, to obtain all necessary waivers, consents, approvals and other documents required to be delivered hereunder and to effect all necessary registrations and filings and to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in each case in order to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by or before the End Date for the purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated by this Agreement.

7.5 Employee Matters.

(a) Specified IP Contributors. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Employee, Former Employee and contractor identified in Schedule 7.5(a) (each, a “Specified IP Contributor”) to enter into and deliver to the Company an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, pursuant to which such Specified IP Contributor irrevocably assigns to the Company all Intellectual Property Rights in and to all Intellectual Property created or developed prior to the Closing by such Specified IP Contributor in connection with such Specified IP Contributor’s employment with, or rendering of services to, the Company or any Subsidiary.

The Company shall provide Buyer with evidence that any such 401(k) has been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors (or similar body) of the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to reasonable review and approval of Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated, the Company and Buyer shall take any and all actions as may be required, including amendments to the 401(k) Plan or Buyer’s applicable 401(k) plan (the “Buyer 401(k) Plan”), to (i) provide that Continuing Employees (except for any PEO Employee for so long as such Employee remains employed by a PEO following the Closing) shall be eligible to participate in the Buyer 401(k) Plan, effective as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, and (ii) permit the Continuing Employees (except for any PEO Employee for so long as such Employee remains employed by a PEO following the Closing) who are then actively employed to make rollover contributions, in cash, of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) other than outstanding participant loans from the 401(k) Plan to the Buyer 401(k) Plan.

(i) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, extend an offer of continued employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or Buyer or a designated Affiliate to each Other Employee as soon as practicable following the Agreement Date on customary terms and conditions applicable to similarly situated employees of Buyer with equivalent or greater base compensation and cash bonus opportunity (if applicable) than those currently provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing substantially similar to the form attached hereto (an “Offer Letter”), each such offer of employment to become effective immediately following the Closing. The Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Buyer in preparing and delivering the Offer Letters to the Other Employees and ensuring the continuation of services of the PEO Employees.

(ii) Buyer agrees that, promptly following the commencement of continuing employment of the Continuing Employees pursuant to Offer Letters, such Continuing Employees (other than any PEO Employee for so long as such Employee remains employed by a PEO following the Closing) shall be eligible to participate in Buyer’s standard benefit plans and be offered employee benefits at least as favorable to such Continuing Employees as that offered to similarly situated employees of Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to cause the continuation of any employment relationship with any Continuing Employee for any specific period of time. Each such Continuing Employee who elects to participate in Buyer’s benefit plans shall, subject to applicable Law and applicable Tax qualification requirements, be given credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting for his or her years of service with the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits.

(d) Non-Continuing Employees. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate the employment of, or shall cause the termination of employment of, each natural person who is a Non-Continuing Employee, effective as of no later than immediately prior to the Closing. Buyer shall notify the Company of any Employee that will be a Non-Continuing Employee no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing.

(e) Retention Program. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall adopt an equity retention program with an aggregate value of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) for the benefit of certain Continuing Employees (the “Retention Program”). Buyer shall grant equity awards under such Retention Program to the Continuing Employees (other than any PEO Employee for so long as such Employee remains employed by a PEO), in accordance with Buyer’s standard terms and conditions for similar such grants. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall discuss in good faith with the Company the allocation of the Retention Program amounts to Continuing Employees.

(f) No Employment Commitment or Plan Amendments. No provision of this Agreement is intended, or shall be interpreted, to provide nor create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind or nature whatsoever in any Company Securityholder, Employee, Former Employee, current or former consultant, contractor or any other Person, including any rights of employment or engagement for any specified period and/or any benefits, in favor of any Person, union, association, Employee, Former Employee, current or former consultant or contractor or any other Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all provisions of this Agreement will be personal solely among the parties to this Agreement. In addition, no provision of this Agreement is intended, or shall be interpreted, to amend any term or condition of any Company Employee Plan or Employee Agreement.

(g) New Option Grants. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall grant Company Options to those individuals, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth on Schedule 7.5(g) and any other individuals approved by Buyer in writing and on the terms approved by Buyer in writing. Any Company Options issued from the Agreement Date to the Closing shall be issued in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan and at fair market value with a strike price no lower than the price per Company Common Share implied by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Company will prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be filed prior to the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and in a manner consistent with past practices (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). Any such income or other material Tax Return shall be provided to Buyer for review and comment a reasonable period prior to filing (which shall be at least thirty (30) days with respect to any such Tax Return relating to income Taxes), and the Company shall consider in good faith reasonable comments from Buyer and shall not file such Tax Returns without Buyer’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that any dispute between the Company and Buyer with respect to such Tax Returns shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanics described in Section 1.4(e) (to the extent applicable).

(b) Post-Closing Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries that include any Pre-Closing Tax Period and that are filed or required to be filed on or after the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Law and in a manner consistent with past practices (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). Any such income or other material Tax Return shall be provided to the Securityholder Representative for review and comment a reasonable period prior to filing (which shall be at least thirty (30) days with respect to any such Tax Return relating to income Taxes), and the Company shall consider in good faith reasonable comments from the Securityholder Representative; provided, however, Buyer shall not file such Tax Returns without the Securityholder Representative’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such Tax Returns would result in Pre-Closing Taxes with respect to which the Indemnified Parties would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iv); provided, further, that any dispute between Buyer and the Securityholder Representative with respect to such Tax Returns shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanics described in Section 1.4(e) (to the extent applicable).

(c) Post- Closing Actions. Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to) file, amend, re-file or otherwise modify any material Tax Return or Tax election relating in whole or in part to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, without the prior written consent of the Securityholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such action is (i) required by applicable Law or (ii) related to obtaining an increased tax benefit on account of any research and development expenditures, including any adjustments resulting therefrom (e.g. any adjustments or credits resulting therefrom), which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not increase Pre-Closing Taxes; provided that Buyer shall notify the Securityholder Representative no later than ten (10) days before taking any action pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) or (ii)).

(d) Tax Sharing Agreements. In Buyer’s sole discretion, any Tax sharing, indemnification or allocation agreement, arrangement, practice or policy to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and none of the Company or any Subsidiary shall have any liability or obligation pursuant thereto.

(e) Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any proceedings relating to the liabilities for Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Securityholder Representative and the Indemnifying Parties, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, with each other, including by furnishing or making available during normal business hours the records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims relating to such Taxes and by maintaining such records, books, powers and materials for a reasonable period of time which will not be less than the latest date on which any relevant statute of limitations remains open, including any extensions.

(f) Tax Contests. Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall give prompt notice to the Securityholder Representative of any claim, or the commencement of any audit, suit, action or proceeding with respect to the Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Tax Contest”) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Taxes. The Securityholder Representative shall have the right to control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any such Tax Contest, provided that (i) it shall give prompt notice to Buyer of its intention to control such Tax Contest, (ii) it shall provide periodic updates of the status of such Tax Contest to Buyer, (iii) Buyer may, at its own expense, participate in (but not control) such Tax Contest, and (iv) the Securityholder Representative shall not settle or otherwise resolve any such Tax Contest without Buyer’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer shall control the defense of all other Tax Contests.

(g) Tax Refunds.

(i) If after the Closing Date, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) actually receives or realizes any refund, or a credit in lieu of a refund, of any Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or of any Pre-Closing Taxes, and such Tax was paid or deemed paid (including amounts included in the calculation of Net Working Capital and Third-Party Expenses) by (i) the Indemnifying Parties on or after the Closing Date or (ii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer promptly shall pay or cause to be paid to the Securityholder Representative the amount of any such refund or credit (except to the extent that the right to such refund or credit was treated as a current asset that increased Net Working Capital), net of any Taxes imposed on Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) with respect thereto, and net of any costs of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation that are reasonably associated with obtaining such refund or credit (“Net Tax Refund”), but only if the aggregate amount of all such Net Tax Refunds exceeds $250,000 (the “Basket Amount”). If the aggregate amount of all such Net Tax Refunds exceeds the Basket Amount, then the entire amount of such aggregate Net Tax Refunds shall be paid to the Payment Agent for distribution to each of the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the Tax Refund Payment Spreadsheet.

(ii) Within five (5) Business Days of the Buyer paying a Net Tax Refund to the Payment Agent, the Securityholder Representative shall prepare an updated version of the Closing Payment Spreadsheet (the “Tax Refund Payment Spreadsheet”). The Tax Refund Payment Spreadsheet shall set forth the following information in reasonable detail:

(A) all information specified in Sections 2.3(a)(i)-(iv) inclusive, as updated to reflect the payment of the Net Tax Refund; and

(B) the amount of any portion of the Net Tax Refund, payable to each Company Securityholder in accordance with the terms of the Governing Documents.

7.7 Certain Taxes and Fees. All Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by the Indemnifying Parties and 50% by Buyer. The Indemnifying Parties and Buyer will cooperate to timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes and the Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, shall each bear 50% of all related expenses.

7.8 Payoff Letters and Release of Liens.

(a) Closing Indebtedness Payoff Letters. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain from each creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary (or an agent on behalf of such creditor) set forth on Schedule 7.8(a), and deliver to Buyer, an executed payoff letter, in customary form and substance, setting forth: (i) the amounts required to pay off in full on the Closing Date, the Indebtedness owing to such creditor (including the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment and other penalties) and wire transfer information for such payment; (ii) upon payment of such amounts, a customary release of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the automatic release of any and all Liens securing such Indebtedness (subject to obligations which by their terms expressly survive such termination); and (iii) the commitment of the creditor (or an agent on behalf of such creditor) to execute and deliver documents that can be filed of record (or delivered to third parties) evidencing the release all Liens, if any, that the creditor (or an agent on behalf of such creditor) may hold on any of the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date upon the receipt of amounts described in clause (i) owing to such creditor (each, a “Payoff Letter”).

(b) Release of Liens. On or prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all customary agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, that are necessary or appropriate to effect the release of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), including those Liens set forth in Schedule 7.8(b).

7.9 Third-Party Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the Merger is consummated, except as expressly set forth herein, each party shall be responsible for its own expenses and costs that it incurs (and whether paid prior to, at or after the Effective Time) with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Without limiting or expanding the foregoing, “Third-Party Expenses” means, and the Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time (and whether paid prior to, at or after the Effective Time) in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby that consist of the following: (i) all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting, finders and all other fees and expenses of third parties providing services in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby that are incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any “single trigger” bonus, severance, change-in-control payments or similar payment obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to Employees resulting from, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) the maximum amount of premiums, Taxes, costs, fees or payments payable to brokers, finders, financial advisors, investment bankers, and insurers, or similar Persons notwithstanding any escrows or other contingencies in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including in connection with the Company D&O Tail Policy; and (iv) 50% of any filings fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including under the HSR Act; provided, however, Third-Party Expenses shall exclude (A) all retention payments payable or equity awards granted by Buyer pursuant to the terms of any Offer Letter or other post-Closing employment arrangement with Buyer (or its designated Affiliate), (B) all fees and expenses of third parties incurred by Buyer and Merger Sub in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding the filing fee under the HSR Act), (C) any severance payments payable to any Non-Continuing Employees who did not receive an offer of employment from Buyer within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Agreement Date, (D) any compensation, benefits or compensatory payments made to any Continuing Employees post-Closing pursuant to their respective employment arrangements with Buyer (or its designated Affiliate) or at Buyer’s (or its designated Affiliate’s) direction, (E) any compensation pursuant to “double-trigger” arrangements triggered by actions of Buyer after the Closing Date, (F) all Transaction Payroll Taxes and (G) 50% of any filings fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including under the HSR Act. For the avoidance of doubt, no fees and expenses shall be double counted when calculating Third-Party Expenses.

(b) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide Buyer with a statement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, setting forth all unpaid Third-Party Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, or anticipated to be incurred or payable by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary after the Closing (the “Statement of Expenses”). The Company shall obtain and deliver to Buyer a final invoice of all outstanding and unpaid fees, costs and expenses from each professional advisor listed on the Statement of Expenses (each, a “Closing Expense Invoice”). No Subsidiary shall incur any Third-Party Expenses that remain unpaid as of the Closing.

7.10 Preparation and Delivery of Required Financial Statements.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days following the end of each fiscal quarter (other than the fourth fiscal quarter) ending on or after the Agreement Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the last day of each such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited statement of stockholders’ equity, income and cash flow for such fiscal quarter, as well as an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and a statement of shareholders’ equity, income and cash flow for the corresponding periods for the prior fiscal year (the “Required Financial Statements”), which Required Financial Statements shall (x) be prepared in accordance with GAAP (and calculated in accordance with ASC 606 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board), applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, and (y) not, for the avoidance of doubt, contain normal year-end adjustments.

(b) The Company shall (x) cooperate promptly with, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to cooperate promptly with, Buyer and its Representatives in connection with the preparation of the Required Financial Statements and to consider in good faith all of Buyer’s reasonable comments in connection therewith (but shall be under no compulsion to accept the same), (y) assist promptly, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to assist promptly, Buyer and its Representatives in connection with the preparation of any filings, documents, or other materials, including any pro forma financial statements, that may be required in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, or otherwise in connection with Buyer’s reporting obligations or public offerings under applicable federal securities Laws, including all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and Regulation S-X, and (z) supply promptly and further furnish promptly, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to supply and furnish promptly, any and all information, documents, and records as Buyer may reasonably request, and provide reasonable access to the Company’s personnel and facilities, in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 7.10. The Company agrees that the Required Financial Statements will comply in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the rules and regulations of the SEC, as in effect as of the respective dates thereof and applicable to the Company, subject to the Required Financial Statements being calculated in accordance with ASC 606.

7.11 Access to Information. At all times prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice and to the extent consistent with applicable Laws and for the purposes of the investigation of the Company or the transition of ownership thereof to Buyer, the Company shall afford Buyer, its Representatives and financing sources reasonable access to (i) all of the assets, properties, Books and Records and Contracts of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) all other information concerning the business, assets, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Buyer may reasonably request, and (iii) all Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as identified by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide such access to the extent it could jeopardize any applicable attorney client or would result in breach of a Material Contract to which the Company is a party or is otherwise bound; provided, however, that, in the event the Company withholds or prevents any such access, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer, its Representatives and its financing sources such requested or sought information or data pursuant to a reasonable alternative accommodation. The Company agrees to provide to Buyer and its accountants, counsel, financing sources and other Representatives copies of internal financial statements (including Tax Returns and supporting documentation) promptly upon request. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 7.11 or otherwise shall affect or be deemed to qualify, limit, modify, amend or supplement any representation or warranty contained herein or in the Disclosure Schedule, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the rights of Buyer or any Indemnified Party under or arising out of a breach of this Agreement.

7.12 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer after obtaining Knowledge of: (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which is likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or any Related Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at or prior to the Effective Time, and (b) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall not (a) limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice or (b) constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach of this Agreement. No disclosure by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.12, however, shall affect or be deemed to qualify, limit, modify, amend or supplement any representation or warranty contained herein or in the Disclosure Schedule, the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the rights of Buyer or any Indemnified Party under or arising out of a breach of this Agreement. For clarity, unintentional failure to give notice under this Section 7.12 shall not be deemed to be a breach of covenant under this Section 7.12 and shall constitute only a breach of the underlying representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition, as the case may be.

7.13 Director and Officer Insurance and Indemnification.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain at its expense a fully prepaid “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, which (i) has an effective term of six (6) years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers only those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the Agreement Date and only for matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains coverage terms comparable to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). The Surviving Corporation (following the Effective Time) and the Buyer shall not cancel (or permit to be cancelled) the Company D&O Tail Policy during its term.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, and until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation (and, to the extent applicable, any successor or assign of the Surviving Corporation) to fulfill and honor in all material respects the obligations of the Company to Persons who on or prior to the Effective Time are or were directors and/or officers of the Company or any Subsidiary (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or such Subsidiary’s organizational documents as in effect on the Agreement Date and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Company Indemnified Parties existing as of the Agreement Date, in each case which have been disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule and true and complete copies of which have been made available to the Buyer (the “Company Indemnification Provisions”), with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing obligations shall be subject to any limitation imposed by applicable Law, and (ii) no Company Indemnified Party shall have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or its successor with respect to any Losses claimed by any of the Indemnified Parties against such Company Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the other express terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall be under no obligation to maintain the existence of the Surviving Corporation for any specified period following the Effective Time.

(d) The obligations of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, and its successors under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated, amended, or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnified Party (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors, or assigns) without the prior written consent of such Company Indemnified Party (or his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors, or assigns, as applicable).

7.14 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the respective Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to use, in each case, commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer, all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, including the following:

(i) furnishing Buyer and the Financing Sources the Required Financial Statements and such other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by Buyer or its Financing Sources to consummate the Financing (it being understood that no financial statements shall be required other than the Required Financial Statements);

(ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for any rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Financing;

(iii) executing and providing documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including if reasonably requested in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, providing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001);

(iv) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer and the Financing Sources for all or any portion of the Financing;

(v) using commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in the Commitment Letter or any definitive documentation relating to the Financing to the extent the satisfaction of such conditions requires the cooperation of or is within the control of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of the Company; and

(vi) using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the due diligence investigation of the Financing Sources, to the extent customary and reasonable and not unreasonably interfering with the businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

provided that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the businesses or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and provided, further, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall (1) be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other cost or expense that is not reimbursed by Buyer in connection with the Financing pursuant to below or to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing (other than any continuing officers or directors that will remain after the Closing Date), (2) have any liability or obligation under any document, agreement or certificate related to the Financing unless and until the Closing occurs, (3) be required to prepare or provide (x) projections, pro forma financial statements or pro forma financial adjustments related to the Financing or (y) any information that is not readily available to the Company based on its current method of recordkeeping (it being understood that the Company will provide the Required Financial Statements), (4) be required to take any action which would cause it to (x) violate any Contract to which it is a party (including this Agreement), (y) violate any Law applicable to it or (z) fail to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2(a) or 2.2(b); or (5) be required to execute and deliver any authorization letter, solvency certificate or statement of beneficial ownership. For the avoidance of doubt, any cooperation provided under this Section 7.14 shall be at the sole expense of Buyer.

(b) Buyer shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation described above in Section 7.14(a). Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries), in each case, except to the extent such liabilities or losses are suffered or incurred directly as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, in each case, their respective Representatives.

(c) The Company hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Financing and authorizes the Financing Sources to download copies of such logos from its website for such purposes; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to nor reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and its or their marks.

7.15 Buyer Financing. Buyer agrees that it shall:

(a) pay, as and when due, the fees due and owing under each Fee Letter to the extent the same are payable prior to the Closing; and

The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in the Officer’s Certificate shall survive until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such eighteen-month (18) period, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date that is sixty (60) days following the date after any Person could, under applicable statutes of limitation (giving effect to any extensions or waivers thereof), bring an Action against Buyer, the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) in connection with such matters, and (ii) the Tax Representations shall survive until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions or waivers thereof) applicable to the Taxes that are the subject of such Tax Representations; provided, further, that in the event of fraud with respect to a representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall survive until the resolution of any claims relating thereto; provided, further, that all representations and warranties of the Company shall survive beyond the Expiration Date or other survival periods specified above with respect to any inaccuracy therein or breach thereof if a claim is made hereunder prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation and warranty, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

(b) Buyer Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Buyer and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing (other than those in Section 4.5, which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations).

(c) Contract Supersedes Statutes. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates in Sections 9.1(a)-(b) supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after and by virtue of the Merger, and except as set forth on Schedule 9.2(a), the Company Shareholders and holders of Vested Company Options (together, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall (first from the Escrow Fund, and thereafter on a several and not joint basis according to their respective Indemnification Pro Rata Portions), indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, including the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them (including the Surviving Corporation) (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third-party claims), directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, or relating to any of the following:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in, as of the Agreement Date or as of the Effective Time, a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Officer’s Certificate, without giving effect to (A) any qualifications based on the word “material” or similar phrases (including “Company Material Adverse Effect”) limiting the scope of such representation or warranty (provided that the operation of this clause (A) shall not be deemed to render references to “Company Material Adverse Effect” to “Effect” or references to “Material Contract” to “Contract” and shall not apply to (x) the third to last sentence of Section 3.7(a), (y) clause (i) of the last sentence in Section 3.7(c)) or (z) Section 3.9, or (B) any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the Agreement Date (except solely with respect to, and as required by, the second to last sentence of Section 3.5(a));

(ii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any Related Agreement;

(iii) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any inaccuracy in any information, or breach of any representation or warranty, set forth in the Payment Spreadsheets, Pre-Closing Statement or Statement of Expenses (including any unpaid Third-Party Expenses);

(iv) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes not reflected in Third-Party Expenses or as a liability in Net Working Capital in the determination of Final Total Closing Consideration;

(v) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any Equityholder Matters;

(vi) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, but subject to Section 4.5, any fraud on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary, or by any Company Securityholder or any Representative of any of the foregoing in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby (solely with respect to matters involving the Company or any Subsidiary (and not matters personal to such Company Securityholder or Representative)); and

(vii) any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) that have not been paid by the Company prior to the Closing in excess of the amount of cash that otherwise would have been owed in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) For all purposes of and under this Agreement, “Loss” or “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, Taxes, costs, interest, awards, judgments, penalties and expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any of the matters set forth in Section 9.2(a)). For the avoidance of doubt, “Losses” shall include incidental damages and indirect or other consequential damages, but shall not include punitive or exemplary damages unless punitive or exemplary damages are awarded to a third party in any Action against an Indemnified Party.

(c) The Indemnifying Parties (including any officer or director of the Company) shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Surviving Corporation or Buyer with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party payable by any of them in their capacity as an Indemnifying Party.

(d) Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article IX will be treated as adjustments to the Total Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(e) The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder.

9.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except in the case of fraud or indemnification claims for breaches of or inaccuracies in the Fundamental Representations or Tax Representations, the Indemnified Parties may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 9.2(a)(i) unless and until the amount of the indemnifiable Qualifying Losses thereunder exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Basket”) in which case the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Losses, including the amount of the Basket paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.3(a) shall not apply to indemnification claims under clauses (ii) – (vii) of Section 9.2(a), inclusive.

(b) Except in the case of fraud or indemnification claims for breaches of or inaccuracies in the Fundamental Representations or Tax Representations the Indemnifying Parties shall only be liable for any Loss relating to a single claim (or series of claims arising from the same or substantially similar facts or circumstances) in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) (such Loss or Losses, a “Qualifying Loss”). For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to indemnification claims under clauses (ii) – (vii) of Section 9.2(a), inclusive.

(c) Subject to Section 9.3(e), recourse by the Indemnified Parties to the Escrow Fund shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for Losses resulting from the matters referred to in Section 9.2(a)(i). The limitation set forth in Section 9.3(a) shall not apply to indemnification claims (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of such Indemnifying Party): (i) for inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Fundamental Representations or Tax Representations; or (ii) under clauses (ii) – (vii) of Section 9.2(a), inclusive. To the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are entitled to recovery under this Article IX in excess of the Escrow Fund, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover amounts directly from an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX in respect of its, his or her indemnification obligations until such time as the Escrow Fund has been fully exhausted or the amounts contained in the Escrow Fund are otherwise allocated to cover existing, unresolved indemnification, compensation or reimbursement claims that have been set forth in Indemnification Claim Notices delivered pursuant to Section 9.5(a). Any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 9.2(a) with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Tax Representations, or pursuant to any of the matters referred to in clauses (ii) – (vii) of Section 9.2(a), inclusive, shall not count towards or reduce the amount that the Indemnified Parties may recover with respect to claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) for all other matters (it being understood that, in the case of such recovery from the Escrow Fund with respect to Losses arising from breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Tax Representations, or pursuant to any of the matters referred to in clauses (ii) – (vii) of Section 9.2(a), inclusive, or Section 2.4(c) the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover indemnifiable Losses directly against the Indemnifying Parties up to the amount of any Losses recovered from the Escrow Fund in respect of such Losses arising from breaches of the Fundamental Representations or Tax Representations, or pursuant to any of the matters referred to in clauses (ii) – (vii) of Section 9.2(a), inclusive or Section 2.4(c)).

(d) Subject to Section 9.3(e), the total amount of indemnification payments that each Indemnifying Party can be required to make to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2 (in excess of the amount, if any, paid to the Indemnified Parties out of the Escrow Fund) shall be limited to the portion of the Total Closing Consideration actually paid to such Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 1.3 and Section 2.3 (without regard to any Taxes deducted or to be deducted). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any part of the Escrow Amount is paid in to the Escrow Fund on behalf of a Key Employee but is subsequently paid back to Buyer in accordance with the terms of such Key Employee’s Holdback Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, Buyer shall have no recourse, in respect of such Key Employee’s liabilities resulting from the matters referred to in Section 9.2(a)(i) for all other matters, against any amounts withheld from other Indemnifying Parties and paid in (and released to) the Escrow Fund.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of, or the Indemnified Parties’ remedies against, any Person who perpetrates, or who has actual knowledge of (without a duty to investigate), fraud in relation to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time for monetary damages in connection with the matters described in Section 9.2(a) (which means that the survival periods and liability limits set forth in this Article IX shall control notwithstanding any statutory or common law provisions or principles to the contrary); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Indemnified Parties’ ability to pursue (i) specific performance or injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies, (ii) remedies under any Related Agreements (other than the certificates and documents to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(xvii) against the parties thereto, and (iii) remedies against any Person who perpetrates, or who has actual knowledge of (without a duty to investigate), fraud in relation to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g) To the extent the Indemnified Parties are entitled to recover indemnifiable Losses in respect of amounts which are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 2.5 by a particular Person who had received amounts pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall first use reasonable best efforts to recover such indemnifiable Losses from such Person prior to seeking recourse against the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of this Article IX.

(h) The amount of any Losses recoverable by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(a) shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by, and/or any indemnification or contribution payments actually paid by any third party to, such Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses in, each case net all costs of recovery, including reasonably anticipated increases in insurance premiums; provided, however, that in no event shall any Indemnified Party be required to seek or obtain any such insurance proceeds or third-party indemnification or contribution. If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or third-party indemnification or contribution payments subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Parties (including from the Escrow Fund), then such Indemnified Party will, without duplication, promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Parties (including via replenishing the Escrow Fund, if applicable) for any payment made by such Indemnifying Parties up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party; provided that the aggregate amount of reimbursement payments to the Indemnifying Parties will not in any event exceed the aggregate indemnification payment received by the Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Parties. For clarity, nothing in this Section 9.3(h) will be deemed to prejudice the ability of any Indemnified Party to seek recourse against the Escrow Fund at any time according to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, but rather this Section 9.3(h) is intended solely to prevent multiple recoveries by any Indemnified Party for the same Losses.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have any liability or indemnification obligation for (i) any Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary resulting from any action taken by the Company after the Closing on the Closing Date outside of the ordinary course of business, or (ii) the inability of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to utilize to any extent any Tax asset or attribute (e.g., net operating loss carryforward or Tax credit carryforward) in any Tax period or portion thereof (including any Straddle Tax Period) beginning on or after the Closing Date.

(j) Any claim for indemnification under this Article IX, and any offer to compromise or settle such claim, must be made on a pro rata basis to all Indemnifying Parties (based on their respective Indemnification Pro Rata Portions).

(k) Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach or other violation of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, certificate or certification. In addition, if and solely to the extent that an amount of Losses in connection with an indemnifiable matter was already taken into account in connection with calculation of the Final Total Closing Consideration, the same amount of such Losses may not be recovered under this Article IX.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will any Indemnifying Party be liable for any other Indemnifying Party’s breach of such other Indemnifying Party’s representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained in any Holdback Agreement, Joinder Agreement, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements or other ancillary agreement hereto to which such other Indemnifying Party is a party.

9.4 Escrow Fund.

(a) The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article IX. Except as set forth below, the period during which claims for Losses to be recovered from the Escrow Fund may be made under this Agreement shall commence at the Closing and terminate on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”).

(b) No later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the Escrow Period or the date a Subsequent Escrow Release Amount is due to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 9.5(c), the Securityholder Representative shall deliver to Buyer an updated version of the Closing Payment Spreadsheet (each, an “Escrow Release Payment Spreadsheet”) within five (5) Business Days after such date in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and accompanied by documentation reasonably satisfactory to Buyer in support of the information set forth therein. The Escrow Release Payment Spreadsheet shall set forth the following information in reasonable detail:

(i) all information specified in Sections 2.3(a)(i)-(iv) inclusive, as updated to reflect the release of the Initial Escrow Release Amount or Subsequent Escrow Release Amount, as applicable; and

(ii) the amount of any portion of the Initial Escrow Release Amount or Subsequent Escrow Release Amount, as applicable, payable to each Company Securityholder in accordance with the terms of the Governing Documents.

(c) No later than five (5) Business Days after Buyer receives the Escrow Release Payment Spreadsheet, the remaining portion of the Escrow Amount, less any amount of actual Losses or Losses estimated in good faith, if possible, in respect of any resolved claims that have yet to be satisfied or any unresolved and pending claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate (the “Unresolved Claims”) delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Securityholder Representative in accordance with Section 9.5 on or prior to the end of the Escrow Period (the “Initial Escrow Release Amount”), shall be distributed to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Release Payment Spreadsheet.

(d) In the event that there exist Unresolved Claims as of the expiration of the Escrow Period, as soon as each such Unresolved Claims has been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the after Buyer receives the Escrow Release Payment Spreadsheet, deliver to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the portion of the Escrow Fund, if any, that was retained for purposes of satisfying such claim that was not needed to satisfy such claim (each a “Subsequent Escrow Release Amount”) in accordance with the Escrow Release Payment Spreadsheet.

9.5 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3, if an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article IX, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Securityholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Losses, and (ii) specifying such Losses in reasonable detail (to the extent available), the date (if available) that each such Loss was paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. Buyer may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof; provided that the update relates to the underlying facts and circumstances described in the initial Indemnification Claim Notice.

(b) If the Securityholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties (or the Indemnifying Party in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from such Indemnifying Party) shall not object in writing within the thirty-day (30) period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Securityholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties (or the applicable Indemnifying Party) that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Fund cash with an aggregate value equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.

(c) In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 9.5(b) (or in the event that indemnification is being sought hereunder directly from an Indemnifying Party, if such Indemnifying Party shall object to any claim or claims made in any Indemnification Claim Notice to recover claims directly from such Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Indemnification Claim Notice), the Securityholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Securityholder Representative (or such objecting Indemnifying Party) and Buyer should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, in the case of an indemnification claim to be recovered from the Escrow Fund, shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Fund cash with an aggregate value equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice.

(d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice, Buyer may file suit with respect to the matter in any court having jurisdiction.

9.6 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Action (whether against the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or any other Person) with respect to which the Indemnifying Parties may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Action on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Securityholder Representative, and the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense, to participate in, but not determine or conduct, the defense of such claim or Action and Buyer shall keep the Securityholder Representative reasonably apprised of any material development in such Action, and promptly provide to the Securityholder Representative copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such claim or Action to the extent that receipt of such documents does not waive any privilege. If Buyer so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Action:

(a) subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Action (and all amounts due pursuant to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or Action) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnifying Parties to the extent that either (i) it is determined according to the procedures in this Article IX that such claim or Action (or the matters underlying such claim or Action) constitutes an indemnifiable matter under Section 9.2 or (ii) Buyer and the Securityholder Representative otherwise agree in writing that such costs and expenses shall constitute indemnifiable Losses; provided, that the absence of a final determination (including by a Governmental Entity or an arbitrator) with respect to such claim or Action shall not prejudice or otherwise affect the determination as to whether such claim or Action arose out of, resulted from, or was in connection with a matter listed in Section 9.2; and

(b) Buyer shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Action without the consent of the Securityholder Representative (it being understood that if Buyer requests that the Securityholder Representative consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Securityholder Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent; provided, that the Securityholder Representative may withhold consent to any requested settlement, adjustment or compromise if the Securityholder Representative believes in good faith that there is not any underlying basis for indemnification under this Article IX with respect to such settlement, adjustment or compromise); provided, however, that if Buyer settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Action without the consent of the Securityholder Representative, then such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such claim or Action or that such Losses are indemnifiable hereunder.

If Buyer does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Action, the Securityholder Representative may proceed with the defense of such claim or Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Buyer; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Action without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) such judgment, settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to the claim in favor of the Indemnified Parties or (ii) the sole relief provided in connection with such judgment, settlement or compromise is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Parties (including from the Escrow Fund) or any other relief that is enforceable only against the Indemnifying Parties. Buyer shall give the Securityholder Representative prompt notice of the commencement of any such Action against Buyer, Merger Sub or the Company; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Buyer to so notify the Securityholder Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Action).

ARTICLE X

SECURITYHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

10.1 Appointment and Authority of Securityholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement, the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Company Shareholders or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each of the Indemnifying Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Shareholder Representative Services LLC as its exclusive representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), as the Securityholder Representative for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the agreements ancillary hereto, including (a) to give and receive notices and communications in respect of all Relevant Matters, including claims under this Agreement, (b) to authorize, consent or object to any claims hereunder and authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund, in satisfaction of any claims hereunder by any Indemnified Party, or in satisfaction of the provisions of Section 2.4, (c) 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 any Relevant Matter, including any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement by any Indemnified Party hereunder against any Indemnifying Party or by any such Indemnifying Party against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (d) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement, (e) grant any extension or waiver under or in connection with this Agreement, and (e) and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholder Representative in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement or (ii) specifically mandated, permitted, or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Securityholder Representative to the Indemnifying Parties in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. All actions taken by the Securityholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, or the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement shall be binding upon each Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Indemnifying Party, and all defenses which may be available to any Indemnifying Party to contest, negate, or disaffirm the action of the Securityholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. The Securityholder Representative may resign at any time. Such agency may be changed by the Indemnifying Parties from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Buyer; provided, however, that the Securityholder Representative may not be removed unless holders representing an aggregate Deemed Pro Rata Portion of two-thirds (2/3) agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vacancy in the position of Securityholder Representative may be filled by the holders representing an aggregate Deemed Pro Rata Portion of greater than one-half (1/2). The immunities and rights to indemnification hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group, and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Indemnifying Parties. The powers, immunities, and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholder Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Indemnifying Party of the whole or any fraction of his, her, or its interest in the Escrow Fund.

(b) The Securityholder Representative (x) shall receive a copy in electronic format of the contents of the electronic dataroom in connection with the Closing and (y) shall have reasonable access to information about the Surviving Corporation and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s former officers and employees for to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder; provided that the Securityholder Representative shall treat confidentially and not use or disclose the terms of this Agreement or any nonpublic information from or about Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, to anyone (except to the Indemnifying Parties or the Securityholder Representative’s employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or authorized representatives on a need to know basis, in each case, who agree to treat such information confidentially); provided, however, that none of Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall be obligated to provide any such access or information if it determines, in its reasonable judgment, that: (i) it is prohibited from doing so pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party; (ii) the access or disclosure would violate applicable Law; (iii) the access or disclosure would cause the loss of or jeopardize any attorney-client, attorney work product or other privilege; (iv) the access or disclosure would result in the disclosure of a Trade Secret or other highly confidential, competitive, or sensitive information; or (v) access or disclosure to a requested Contract would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate any rights under such Contract. The Securityholder Representative shall enter into a separate customary confidentiality agreement prior to being provided access to such information if reasonably requested by Buyer.

10.2 Exculpation and Indemnification of Shareholder Representation. Neither the Securityholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents or employees or any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholder Representative Group”) shall be liable to any Indemnifying Party for any act done or omitted hereunder as Securityholder Representative while acting in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Indemnifying Parties on whose behalf the Escrow Amount was contributed to the Escrow Fund shall indemnify the Securityholder Representative Group and hold the Securityholder Representative Group harmless against any loss, liability, claim, damage, fee, cost, judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement or expense incurred or suffered, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or other professionals retained by the Securityholder Representative and costs incurred in connection with seeking recovery from insurers (“Securityholder Representative Expenses”); provided, that in the event that any such Securityholder Representative Expenses are finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Securityholder Representative Expenses to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholder Representative by the Indemnifying Parties, any such Securityholder Representative Expenses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund or (ii) following the expiration of each Escrow Period from the Escrow Amount otherwise distributable to or for the benefit of the Indemnifying Parties only at the time of distribution of such amounts (and not distributed or distributable to an Indemnified Party or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Party) pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement; provided, that while this section allows the Securityholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay such Securityholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Indemnifying Parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative under this section. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.5 or Section 11.6, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Indemnifying Parties; and the Escrow Agent and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent and Buyer are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholder Representative. Certain Indemnifying Parties (the “Advisory Group”) have concurrently herewith entered into a letter agreement with the Securityholder Representative (the “Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) regarding direction to be provided by the Advisory Group to the Securityholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Securityholder Representative Engagement Agreement. The Advisory Group shall incur no liability to the Indemnifying Parties for any liability incurred by the members of the Advisory Group 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), even if such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of the Advisory Group or one of its members. The Indemnifying Parties agree that the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Payment Spreadsheets, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Indemnifying Party or other party. This indemnification shall survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative, termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

10.3 Expense Cash.

(a) The Expense Cash shall be deposited with the Securityholder Representative, to constitute an expense fund (the “Expense Fund”) and to be governed by the provisions set forth herein. The Expense Cash shall be available to pay directly or reimburse the Securityholder Representative for any Securityholder Representative Expenses or other third-party expenses reasonably and actually incurred by the Securityholder Representative, or to satisfy any claims against the Indemnifying Parties hereunder if the Securityholder Representative shall determine there are sufficient funds for such purpose, and shall be released to the Indemnifying Parties and the Securityholder Representative, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.3. As soon as reasonably determined by the Securityholder Representative that the Expense Cash is no longer required to be withheld, the Securityholder Representative shall:

(b) prepare an updated version of the Closing Payment Spreadsheet (the “Expense Cash Release Payment Spreadsheet”). The Expense Cash Release Payment Spreadsheet shall set forth the following information in reasonable detail:

(i) All information specified in Sections 2.3(a)(i)-(iv) inclusive, as updated to reflect the release of the Remaining Expense Fund Amount; and

(ii) the amount of any portion of the Remaining Expense Fund Amount, payable to each Company Securityholder in accordance with the terms of the Governing Documents,

(c) deposit the remaining balance of the Expense Cash (if any) (the “Remaining Expense Fund Amount”) with the Payment Agent for further distribution to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with the Expense Cash Release Payment Spreadsheet.; provided, that, if there are any pending but unresolved indemnification claims of any Indemnified Parties, then all amounts shall remain in escrow and remain available for release to the Securityholder Representative until all indemnification claims have been finally resolved and the Securityholder Representative has been reimbursed in full for all Securityholder Representative Expenses reasonably and actually incurred and thereafter any remaining Expense Cash shall be released to the respective Indemnifying Parties (by the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent, as applicable) in accordance with the Expense Cash Release Payment Spreadsheet.

(d) The Indemnifying Parties agree that no provision of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any agreements ancillary hereto shall require the Securityholder Representative to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any agreements ancillary hereto. For clarity, no Indemnified Party shall have any liability with respect to the Expense Cash, including with respect to the distribution, investment, holding and disposition thereof.

(e) The Securityholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability to the Indemnifying Parties for any loss of principal of the Expense Cash other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Securityholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Cash, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Indemnifying Parties will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Cash and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any such interest or earnings. The Securityholder Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Indemnifying Parties.

For income Tax purposes, the Expense Cash shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Indemnifying Parties on the Closing Date, and any Tax withholding required with respect to an Indemnifying Party’s deemed receipt of its Deemed Pro Rata Portion of the Expense Cash on the Closing Date shall be satisfied from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to such Indemnifying Party, consistent with Section 2.5.

11.3 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the information obtained in any investigation pursuant to Section 7.11 or any information obtained pursuant to the notice requirements of Section 7.12, or otherwise pursuant to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated July 26, 2019 (the “Confidential Disclosure Agreement”), between the Company and Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3, neither this Section 11.3 nor any other provision of this Agreement or the Confidential Disclosure Agreement shall be deemed to limit any customary disclosure (subject to customary “click-through” confidentiality agreements) made by Buyer, Merger Sub and their Affiliates and/or Representatives to the Financing Sources, the Financing Source Related Parties or rating agencies in connection with the Financing.

11.4 Public Disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Representatives shall issue any statement or communication to any third party (other than its agents that are bound by confidentiality restrictions and other than to a Governmental Entity to the extent required in the making of any filing or notification required in connection with the transactions described herein or to respond to any request for information or documents made by a Governmental Entity investigating the transactions described herein) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor, without the consent of Buyer; provided, however, that in the event that any party hereto alleges a breach of this Agreement, the Company and its Representatives may make disclosures as needed to prosecute or defend against such allegations to persons involved in dispute resolution proceedings (e.g., courts, attorneys, witnesses).

11.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified, altered or supplemented by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom enforcement is sough; provided, that neither any provision with respect to which any Financing Source is a third-party beneficiary hereunder (nor the definitions of the terms “Financing Sources” and “Financing Source Related Parties” or any other definition set forth in, or any other provision of, this Agreement to the extent that an amendment, modification, alteration, supplementation, discharge or waiver thereof would amend, modify , alter, supplement, discharge or waive the substance of any provision with respect to which any Financing Source is a third party beneficiary hereunder or the definitions of the terms “Financing Sources” or “Financing Source Related Parties”) shall be amended, modified, altered, supplemented, discharged or waived in a manner materially adverse to such Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source (and any such amendment, modification, alteration, supplement, discharge or waiver without such prior written consent shall be null and void). For purposes of this Section 11.5, the Company Securityholders are deemed to have agreed that any amendment, modification, alteration, or supplement of this Agreement signed by the Securityholder Representative shall be binding upon and effective against the Company Securityholders whether or not they have signed such any amendment, modification, alteration or supplement.

11.6 Extension and Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on the one hand, and before the Closing the Company and after the Closing the Securityholder Representative, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed and subject to the proviso set forth in Section 11.5, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party 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 covenants, 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. For purposes of this Section 11.6, the Company Securityholders are deemed to have agreed that any extension or waiver signed by the Company (if prior to Closing) or the Securityholder Representative (if after the Closing) shall be binding upon and effective against all Company Securityholders whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.

11.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Buyer may assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to its Affiliates as long as Buyer remains ultimately liable for all of Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

11.8 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 extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

11.9 Specific Performance and Other Remedies.

(a) The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other party or parties hereto, any Company Securityholder or the Securityholder Representative of any covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth in this Agreement, (i) each party shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it), to a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other agreement and an injunction preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (ii) no party hereto shall be required to provide or post any bond or other security or collateral in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or legal proceeding.

(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred herein upon a party hereto shall be deemed to be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or in equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. However, following the Closing, the rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement set forth in Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any breach of this Agreement.

(c) The liability of any Person under Article IX will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such Person may have at law or in equity based on such Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Article IX, shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity based on any Person’s fraudulent acts or omissions, against such Person, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit (i) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for fraud, (ii) the time period during which a claim for fraud may be brought or (iii) the recourse which any such party may seek against any Person with respect to a claim for fraud by such Person.

11.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims, causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) or other matter that may result from, arise out of, be in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, administration, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement, including any claim or cause of action resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement (the “Relevant Matters”), 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 laws thereof ; provided that each of the Company (on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), Buyer (on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries) and Securityholder Representative (on behalf of itself and the Company Shareholders and other Indemnifying Parties) agrees (for the avoidance of doubt, without affecting the provisions of Section 11.17) that any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source or any Financing Source Related Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Commitment Letter; provided further that the references in this Section 11.10 to any Financing Source and its Financing Source Related Parties shall be to such Financing Source in its capacity as a provider or arranger of the Financing and not in any other capacity.

11.11 Exclusive Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with any Relevant Matter shall be instituted first in, and each party hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of, the Court of Chancery within New Castle County in the State of Delaware (and any appellate court thereof located within such county) and to the extent such Court of Chancery (or appellate court thereof located within such county) lacks jurisdiction over the matter, the federal courts of the United States of America located within New Castle County in the State of Delaware, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Company (on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), Buyer (on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries) and Security Representative (on behalf of itself and the Company Shareholders and other Indemnifying Parties) agrees (for the avoidance of doubt, without affecting the provisions of Section 11.17) that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source or any Financing Source Related Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York Federal or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO (A) ANY RELEVANT MATTER OR (B) ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE OR ANY FINANCING SOURCE RELATED PARTY IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE REFERENCES IN THIS SECTION 11.12 TO ANY FINANCING SOURCE AND ITS FINANCING SOURCE RELATED PARTIES SHALL BE TO SUCH FINANCING SOURCE IN ITS CAPACITY AS A PROVIDER OR ARRANGER OF THE FINANCING AND NOT IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY.

11.13 USA Patriot Act Compliance. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-natural Person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from natural persons claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. The parties each agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.

11.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, Annex A hereto, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Related Agreements, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, except that (x) the Indemnified Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of Article IX and (y) the Financing Sources and the Financing Source Related Parties shall be express third-party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on, the proviso in the first sentence of Section 11.5 (and the reference thereto in Section 11.6), the proviso in Section 11.10 the last sentence of Section 11.11, Section 11.12, Section 11.17 and this Section 11.14.

11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one 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. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.16 Consent to Representation; Conflict of Interest.

(a) If the Securityholder Representative so desires, acting on behalf of the Company Securityholders and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company, Buyer, or Merger Sub, Sidley Austin LLP (“Sidley”) shall be permitted to represent the Company Securityholders after the Closing in connection with any matter, including any matter related to 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, Sidley shall be permitted to represent the Company Securityholders, 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 Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, 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. Any representation of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(b) After the Effective Time, Buyer shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) not to use any legal advice provided by Sidley to the Company, the Securityholder Representative or any Company Securityholder, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Sidley Legal Advice”) in connection with any indemnification claim dispute hereunder or any other legal proceeding or potential legal proceeding against, with or involving Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates or agents. After the Effective Time, the Securityholder Representative shall be permitted to access and use Sidley Legal Advice in connection with any indemnification claim dispute hereunder or any other legal proceeding or potential legal proceeding against, with or involving Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates or agents; and Sidley, the Securityholder Representative and any Company Securityholder may make any such Sidley Legal Advice available to Sidley or the Securityholder Representative, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and any of their Affiliates and agents may access and use for any purpose facts, data and any other information contained in any communications between Sidley, on the one hand, and the Company, the Securityholder Representative or any Company Securityholder, on the other hand, to the extent such communications belong to the Surviving Corporation even if such communication also contains Sidley Legal Advice, including as evidence in any indemnification claim dispute or any other legal proceeding or potential legal proceeding involving the Securityholder Representative or any Company Securityholder, but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Sidley Legal Advice contained in such communications. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.16 or in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any client communications to any third party.

11.17 Financing Sources. Each of the Company (on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries) and Security Representative (on behalf of itself and the Company Shareholders and other Indemnifying Parties) agrees that none of the Financing Sources or the Financing Source Related Parties have or will have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, the Security Representative, any Company Shareholders or any other Indemnifying Party, and that none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, the Security Representative, any Company Shareholders or any other Indemnifying Party shall have any right or claim against any Financing Source or any Financing Source Related Party, in each case, of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source or any Financing Source Related Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof; provided that nothing in this Section 11.17 shall limit the liability or obligations of the Financing Sources to Buyer (and its successors and assigns) under the Commitment Letter (or any fee letters referred to therein or definitive financing agreements with respect to the Financing); provided further that the references in this Section 11.17 to any Financing Source and its Financing Source Related Parties shall be to such Financing Source in its capacity as a provider or arranger of the Financing and not in any other capacity.
