The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Strategic Outsourcing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SOI”).

The respective boards of directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders to consummate the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and such boards of directors have approved this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND MANNER OF PAYMENT

SECTION 3.1 Merger Consideration. The estimated aggregate amount to be paid by Parent with respect to 100% of the Company Securities (the “Estimated Merger Consideration”), shall be an amount equal to:

(a)

$203,200,000;

(b)

plus the Working Capital Overage, if any, and

(c)

minus the sum of:

(i)

the Escrow Amount;

(ii)

the Stockholder Representative Fund;

(iii)

the Credit Facility Payoff Amount;

(iv)

the Estimated Assumed Indebtedness Amount;

(v)

the amount of Company Expenses; and

(vi)

the Working Capital Underage, if any.

The Estimated Merger Consideration shall be subject to the adjustments and payments following Closing pursuant to Section 3.4.

SECTION 3.2 Estimated Merger Consideration. On or before the second Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent (a) an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”) certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company as setting forth his good faith best estimate of the assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of immediately prior to the Closing, and (b) a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail his computation based on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet of the amount of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Working Capital Estimate”), and the resulting Working Capital Overage or Working Capital Underage, if any, (ii) the Assumed Indebtedness (the “Estimated Assumed Indebtedness Amount”) and (iii) the Estimated Merger Consideration. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared using the same accounting principles and practices as applied by the Company in preparing the Audited Balance Sheet; provided, however, that the Working Capital Estimate shall be prepared in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules. If Parent disagrees with any of

the Company’s calculation of the Working Capital Estimate, the resulting Working Capital Overage or Working Capital Underage, if any, the Estimated Assumed Indebtedness or the Estimated Merger Consideration, Parent shall notify the Company of such disagreement in writing setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement. Following such notice, the Company and Parent shall use their respective good faith efforts to resolve such disagreements prior to the Closing; provided that if the Company and Parent cannot resolve any of such disagreements, the determination of the Company on all such unresolved matters shall be used for the purposes of this Section 3.2 and Section 3.3.

SECTION 3.3 Payments at Closing.

(a) Payment of the Escrow Amount. At the Closing, Parent shall pay, in cash, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds for deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Account shall be used to satisfy any claims of the Parent Indemnified Persons for indemnification pursuant to Article IX made from and after Closing but on or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, if any, and to satisfy amounts payable to Parent, if any, pursuant to Section 3.4(c). Amounts shall be released from the Escrow Account in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, and amounts released from the Escrow Account to the Stockholder Representative shall be distributed by the Stockholder Representative to the Common Holders as additional Share Consideration and Common Stock Equivalent Consideration, after taking into account the changes to the Per Share Price resulting from such distribution and any Share Consideration and Common Stock Equivalent Consideration previously received by such Common Holders.

(b) Payment of Stockholder Representative Fund. At the Closing, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative (such designation to be made at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date), an amount equal to the Stockholder Representative Fund, such Stockholder Representative Fund to be held by the Stockholder Representative to be available to pay any costs and expenses or other payment obligations of the Common Holders and the Stockholder Representative with respect to matters arising under this Agreement, with any remaining portion of the Stockholder Representative Fund to be distributed at such time as determined by the Stockholder Representative to the Common Holders as additional Share Consideration and Common Stock Equivalent Consideration, after taking into account the changes to the Per Share Price resulting from such distribution and any Share Consideration and Common Stock Equivalent Consideration previously received by such Common Holders.

(c) Payment of Credit Facility Payoff Amount. At the Closing, Parent shall pay to the Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions designated in writing by the Bank (such designation to be made at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date), an amount equal to the Credit Facility Payoff Amount.

(d) Payment of Company Expenses. At the Closing, Parent shall pay to the Persons to whom Company Expenses are payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions designated in writing by such Persons (such designation to be made at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date), amounts sufficient to pay the Company Expenses owed to such Persons.

(e) Payment of Estimated Merger Consideration.

(i) At the Closing, all Option Consideration shall be paid by Parent to the Company, which shall thereupon pay such Option Consideration, less all applicable deductions and withholdings, to the persons entitled to payment under Section 3.3(f)(ii); and

(ii) Prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to the persons entitled to receive Share Consideration or Common Stock Equivalent Consideration (other than Option Consideration) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and reasonably acceptable to Parent and (ii) instructions for use of such letters of transmittal in effecting the surrender of certificates representing shares of capital stock of the Company or Common Stock Equivalents (other than Options) in exchange for Share Consideration or Common Stock Equivalent Consideration (other than Option Consideration), as applicable. Upon surrender of such a certificate or Common Stock Equivalent to the Company for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, a Common Holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and, within two Business Days after such surrender, but in any event no earlier than the Closing, Parent shall pay, or cause the Company to pay, to such Common Holder, the Share Consideration into which the shares of stock represented by such certificate are converted pursuant to Section 3.3(f)(i) or the Common Stock Equivalent Consideration into which such Common Stock Equivalents are converted pursuant to Section 3.3(f)(ii), in each case based on the Per Share Price then in effect. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3(e)(ii), from and after the Effective Time, each such stock certificate or Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the Share Consideration or Common Stock Equivalent Consideration in respect thereof, as applicable.

(f) Effect of Merger on Company Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(i) Each share of Common Stock (all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Common Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Common Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.3(h) and Common Shares constituting Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount equal to the Per Share Price (as it may be adjusted from time to time) (the “Share Consideration”), and each Seller shall be entitled to receive at Closing a cash payment equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole cent, of (A) the Per Share Price as of the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the number of Common Shares owned by such Seller immediately prior to the Effective Time;

(ii) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary so that all Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall become fully vested and exercisable (whether or not currently exercisable) and, immediately

prior to the Effective Time, each Common Stock Equivalent not theretofore exercised shall be cancelled without any future liability to Parent, the Company or any other Person after the Closing, in exchange for the right to receive in accordance with Section 3.3(e)(i) or Section 3.3(e)(ii), as applicable, a cash payment in the amount equal to the product, rounded to the nearest whole cent, of (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price (as it may be adjusted from time to time) over the applicable Exercise Price of such Common Stock Equivalent, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Common Stock Equivalent (such amount payable with respect to each holder of Common Stock Equivalents, such holder’s “Common Stock Equivalent Consideration”).

(g) The term “Per Share Price” means, recalculated as of each date of determination, the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the Estimated Merger Consideration, as such amount may have been recalculated to become the Final Merger Consideration, plus (B) that portion of the Escrow Amount and the Stockholder Representative Fund theretofore distributed to the Common Holders, plus (C) that portion of the Escrow Amount and the Stockholder Representative Fund then being distributed to the Common Holders plus (D) the aggregate Exercise Price of all In-the-Money CSEs on such date of determination divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate number of Common Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus (B) the aggregate number of Common Shares underlying all In-the-Money CSEs on such date of determination.

(h) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Each share of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Common Stock owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, automatically be cancelled and cease to exist without any conversion thereof and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

(i) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Following the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub common stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of Surviving Corporation.

(j) Dissenting Shares. Any Dissenting Shares will not be converted into the right to receive the Share Consideration but instead will be entitled to such rights (but only such rights) as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company will give Parent prompt notice (and in any case, within one Business Day) of any demand received by the Company for appraisal of Common Shares. The Company will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal except with Parent’s prior written consent. If any holder of Dissenting Shares loses its status as a holder of Dissenting Shares for any reason, then such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Share Consideration.

(k) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Company and Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Common Holder such amounts as Parent, the Company or Stockholder Representative, as the case may be, is required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or any Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Common Holder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. In lieu of making the payments contemplated by Section 3.3(a)-(b) or Section 3.4(c) hereof to the holders of the In-the-Money CSEs, Stockholder Representative may pay such amounts to the Company which shall thereupon pay such amounts to such holders, subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3(k).

SECTION 3.4 Post-Closing Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 90 days thereof, Parent shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”) and audited by Ernst & Young LLP (“Parent’s Auditor”), together with the report of Parent’s Auditor, to the effect that Parent’s Auditor has conducted, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, an audit of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and that such firm believes that such audit provides a reasonable basis for such firm’s opinion thereon and that the Final Closing Balance Sheet presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date and prepared in conformity with GAAP (except as noted in the final sentence of this Section 3.4(a)), and (ii) the calculation of the Closing Working Capital and the Assumed Indebtedness pursuant to the Final Closing Balance Sheet. The Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared using the same accounting principles and practices and in the same format and using the same line item classifications, used by the Company in preparing the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that the Closing Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules.

(b) If the Stockholder Representative shall disagree with Parent’s calculation of any of the Closing Working Capital or the Assumed Indebtedness, it shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, within 30 days after its receipt of the Final Closing Balance Sheet. Following the Closing, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative and its Specified Representatives access to the records and employees of Parent and the Company to the extent necessary for the review of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and shall cause the employees of Parent and the Company and its Subsidiaries to cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in connection with its review of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Working Capital and the Assumed Indebtedness; provided that such access shall be reasonably necessary and does not unreasonably disrupt the personnel and operations of Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. In the event that the Stockholder Representative does not provide such a notice of disagreement to Parent within such 30-day period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Final Closing Balance Sheet and Parent’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital and the Assumed Indebtedness, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) (the

“Resolution Period”), to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Final Closing Balance Sheet or Parent’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital and the Assumed Indebtedness. If, at the end of the Resolution Period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then the Final Closing Balance Sheet along with the Stockholder Representative’s notice of disagreement (both modified to reflect only unresolved disagreements) and a written response from Parent to the Stockholder Representative’s notice of disagreement (setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of Parent’s disagreement) shall be submitted within 10 days after the last day of the Resolution Period to such nationally recognized independent accounting firm as may be mutually selected by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (the “Adjustments Auditor”) to resolve any remaining disagreements. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree on the Adjustments Auditor within such 10-day period, then within five days after the end of such 10-day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Adjustments Auditor, which shall not have had a material relationship with Parent, the Company or the Stockholder Representative or any of their respective Affiliates subsequent to December 31, 2009. Each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative agrees to execute, if requested by the Adjustments Auditor, a customary engagement letter. The Adjustments Auditor shall determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Adjustments Auditor, whether (and only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Adjustments Auditor) and to what extent (if any) the amount of the Closing Working Capital or the Assumed Indebtedness as determined pursuant to the Final Closing Balance Sheet (as modified by any agreement between Parent and the Stockholder Representative) requires correction; provided that the scope of the dispute to be resolved by the Adjustments Auditor shall be limited to whether the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Assumed Indebtedness were prepared in conformity with GAAP (except as noted in the final sentence of Section 3.4(a)) using the same accounting principles and practices and in the same format and using the same line item classifications used by the Company in preparing the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, whether the Closing Working Capital was prepared in accordance with the Balance Sheet Rules, and whether there were mathematical errors in the computation of the Closing Working Capital, or the Assumed Indebtedness, and the Adjustments Auditor shall not make any other determination. In reaching its determination, the only alternatives available to the Adjustments Auditor will be to (i) accept the position of Parent, (ii) accept the position of the Stockholder Representative or (iii) determine a position between those two positions. The Adjustments Auditor will determine the allocation of its costs and expenses based on the inverse of the percentage which its award (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in arbitration as originally submitted to it. Accordingly, by way of example, should the items in arbitration total in amount to $1,000 and the Adjustments Auditor awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative’s position, 60% of the costs and expenses would be assessed against Parent and 40% of the costs and expenses would be assessed against the Common Holders and the Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay such amount due from the Common Holders from the Escrow Amount. The determination of the Adjustments Auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive. The date on which the amount of the Closing Working Capital and the Assumed Indebtedness is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.4(b) (whether due to agreement by Parent and the Stockholder Representative or a determination by the Adjustments Auditor in accordance with this Section 3.4(b)), is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date.”

(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Final Working Capital” means the Closing Working Capital and “Final Assumed Indebtedness” means the Assumed Indebtedness, in each case as finally agreed or determined in accordance with Section 3.4(b). Upon the determination of the Final Working Capital and the Final Assumed Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the Estimated Merger Consideration shall be recalculated utilizing the Final Working Capital in lieu of the Working Capital Estimate and the Final Assumed Indebtedness in lieu of the Estimated Assumed Indebtedness Amount (the Estimated Merger Consideration as so recalculated, the “Final Merger Consideration”). If (and only if) the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days following the Determination Date) deliver to the Stockholder Representative (for distribution to the Common Holders as additional Share Consideration and Common Stock Equivalent Consideration, after taking into account the changes to the Per Share Price resulting from such distribution and any Share Consideration and Common Stock Equivalent Consideration previously received by such Common Holders), the amount by which the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative in writing. If (and only if) the Estimated Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration, then the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly (but in any event within five Business Days following the Determination Date) deliver from the Escrow Account to Parent the amount by which the Estimated Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent in writing. All payments made pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall be treated by all parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the purchase price. Upon payment of the amounts provided in this Section 3.4(c), none of the parties hereto may make or assert any claim under this Section 3.4.

(d) Following the Closing, Parent shall not take, or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to take, any action with respect to the accounting books and records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or the items reflected thereon, on which the Final Closing Balance Sheet is to be based, that is inconsistent with the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s past practices. No actions taken by Parent on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, at or following the Closing shall be given effect for purposes of determining the Closing Working Capital or the Assumed Indebtedness.

SECTION 3.5 The Stockholder Representative.

(a) Appointment of the Stockholder Representative. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Common Holders owning more than 70% of the Common Shares have irrevocably appointed the Stockholder Representative as the sole agent of the Common Holders to act on behalf of the Common Holders regarding any matter relating to or arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including for the purposes of: (i) receiving any payments due from Parent or the Escrow Agent that are required under the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to be paid to the Common Holders and, where applicable, distributing such payments to the Common Holders in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; (ii) taking any action on behalf of the Common Holders or any individual Common Holder that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with the indemnification provisions set forth

in Article IX or the provisions of the Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; (iii) taking any action on behalf of the Common Holders or any individual Common Holder that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Stockholder Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with negotiating or entering into settlements, resolutions and compromises with respect to the adjustments or payments contemplated by Section 3.4 or the claims of any Parent Indemnified Persons pursuant to Article IX; (iv) accepting notices on behalf of the Common Holders or any individual Common Holder in accordance with Section 11.4; (v) executing and delivering, on behalf of the Common Holders or any individual Common Holder, any notices, documents or certificates to be executed by the Common Holders or any individual Common Holder in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions; and (vi) granting any consent or approval on behalf of the Common Holders or any individual Common Holder under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 6.6 Confidentiality. Any information provided to Parent or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement (including information provided pursuant to Section 6.2) shall be held by Parent and its Affiliates and their Specified Representatives in accordance with, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Confidentiality Agreement executed by Parent or its Affiliate dated March 27, 2012 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which is hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference as though fully set forth in this Agreement and shall continue in force until consummation of the Closing, at which time the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate; provided that Parent and its Affiliates may disclose such information as may be necessary in connection with seeking approvals required from Governmental Entities, including approvals required under the HSR Act and licensing requirements imposed by any state Governmental Entity, for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; provided, further, that if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII prior to Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, in accordance with its terms, except that the term of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue until the later of (i) one year from the date of such termination of this Agreement or (ii) the then existing term of the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 6.8 Employee Benefit Plans. From the Effective Time through September 30, 2013, the officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than individuals who are Contingent Workers or Assigned Employees) who, as of the Effective Time, continue employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) shall continue to be covered under the Company’s existing benefit plans (other than equity compensation arrangements). From and after the Effective Time and to the extent legally permissible, Parent shall cause the Parent benefit plans that are welfare benefit plans that cover the Continuing Employees after the Effective Time to waive any waiting period and restrictions and limitations for preexisting conditions or insurability, unless such conditions were not covered because of a preexisting condition under the Plan in which the Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and cause any deductible, co-insurance or maximum out-of-pocket payments made by the Continuing Employees prior to October 1, 2013 under the Plan to be credited to such Continuing Employees under the Parent benefit plans, so as to reduce the amount of any deductible, co-insurance or maximum out-of-pocket payments payable by the Continuing Employees under the Parent benefit plans for the applicable plan year under such Parent benefit plans that includes October 1, 2013, as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent benefit plans. For purposes of participation and vesting under Parent benefit plans that satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.8 (but not for purposes of benefit accrual to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits arising from the application of this Section 6.8), service under the Plans shall be treated as service under such Parent benefit plans. Parent also shall cause the Company to honor all employment, severance, consulting, and other compensation Contracts disclosed in Section 6.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the extent such Contracts remain in effect, as they may be amended from time to time. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay the full amount of employee bonuses, commissions and earned compensation accrued by the Company until the Effective Time and reflected on the Final Closing Balance Sheet, in accordance with the Company’s policies existing as of the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time through September 30, 2013, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to the Continuing Employees, all base pay, and all bonuses, commissions and other earned compensation as provided for in the Company’s Great Game of Business Plan and paid time-off policies, in each case as in effect as of the Effective Time, but only to the extent such payments do not conflict with applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.1, the provisions of this Section 6.8 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other individual shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Parent benefit plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, or arrangement of Parent or its Subsidiaries for any purpose, (ii) guarantee employment for any period of time, or preclude the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason, or (iii) subject to the first sentence of this Section 6.8, require Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement or prevent the amendment, modification, or termination thereof in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable Law.

SECTION 6.9 Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on Liability existing in favor of the current and former directors and officers of the Company (the “Covered Parties”) as provided in the Charter, the Bylaws or indemnification agreements, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring prior to or on the Closing Date shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years following the Effective Time; provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.9 shall be deemed to preclude the liquidation, consolidation or merger of the Company, in which case all of such rights to indemnification and limitations on Liability shall be deemed to so survive and continue notwithstanding any such liquidation, consolidation, or merger. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which approval by the Company is required to effectuate any indemnification, Parent shall cause the Company to direct, at the election of the Covered Party, that the determination of any such approval shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between Parent and the Covered Party. To the maximum extent provided therein and permitted by applicable Law, the indemnification and related rights afforded the Covered Parties under the Charter, the Bylaws or any indemnification agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement shall be mandatory rather than permissive.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall acquire and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail coverage” reasonably acceptable to the Stockholder Representative and Parent, insuring those persons who served as directors or officers of the Company on or before the Effective Time and shall pay any and all costs and expenses with respect to claims made under such insurance policy pertaining to periods prior to Closing, including any deductible amounts for the six-year period commencing on the Closing Date; provided that such “tail coverage” that continues the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be reasonably acceptable to Parent. The cost of such coverage shall be borne by the Company, whether paid prior to or after the Closing.

(c) Parent shall cause any Person into which the Company shall consolidate or merge or to which the Company shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

SECTION 6.10 Exclusivity. Until the earlier of the Closing and such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII, except for the Contemplated Transactions, the Company will not, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ respective Specified Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, enter into, participate in, solicit or encourage any negotiation, discussion, contract, agreement, instrument, arrangement or understanding with any party with respect to the sale of the Common Shares or all or substantially all the assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any merger, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Business.

SECTION 6.11 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has acted as legal counsel to the Stockholder Representative and its Affiliates, and has acted as legal counsel to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and that ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the Stockholder Representative and its Affiliates after the Closing, the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause the Company Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ representing the Representative and its Affiliates after the Closing.

SECTION 6.12 Schedules Update. Following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to Parent a supplement to the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Supplement”) to reflect any fact or condition occurring after the date hereof that would cause a breach of a representation and warranty of the Company had such representation or warranty been made on the Closing Date. The rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to any Supplement will be as follows:

(a) For purposes of determining whether the Company has breached any of its representations and warranties, matters set forth in any Supplement (provided, however, that Supplements shall not cure any breaches in existence on the date of this Agreement) will have the same status as other matters set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule except that such update shall not be given any effect for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) has been satisfied, and if the Parent consummates the Contemplated Transactions after receiving such Supplement, the Parent will not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article IX for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that would have been cured by virtue of the disclosure contained in such Supplement (provided, however, that Supplements shall not cure any breaches in existence on the date of this Agreement).

(b) Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.12, will imply that the Company is making any representation or warranty as of any date other than the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

(a) The Common Holders, following Closing (as represented by the Stockholder Representative), severally in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, and not jointly or jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers, directors, employees, equity owners, controlling Persons and Affiliates (collectively, “Parent Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all actual losses, Liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, suits, actions and damages (collectively, “Damages”) arising from or in connection with:

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

(ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement entered into by the Company and Parent under or pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (solely with respect to covenants and agreements to be made or performed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to Closing); or

(iii) any amount paid by Parent or the Company with respect to Dissenting Shares in excess of the value such Person would have received in the Merger for such Dissenting Shares had such shares been converted pursuant to Section 3.3(f)(i) hereof, and all interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by Parent or the Company, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with the exercise or attempted exercise of any dissenter’s rights.

For the sole purpose of determining the amount of Damages (and not for determining whether any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty has occurred), the representations and warranties of the Company shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality or to Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Following the Closing, the Common Holders shall, severally in accordance with their respective Transaction Percentages, and not jointly or jointly and severally, be liable for and indemnify, defend and hold each of the Parent, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates (each, a “Tax Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any Damages attributable to: (i) (x) all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and (y) the portion of Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period as determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 10.1(a)(ii); (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated group of which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; and (iii) any Taxes of any Person (other than the Company or any Company Subsidiary), liability for which is imposed on the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a transferee or successor (by contract or otherwise) pursuant to a transaction or contract or other indemnification obligation that occurs or arises before the Closing; provided, however, that (A) in the case of subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Common Holders shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes and Damages exceed the amount, if any, taken into account in determining the Final Working Capital or reserved for on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and (B) except with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.9(b) and Section 4.9(r), the Common Holders shall have no indemnification obligation to the Tax Indemnitees with respect to the amount or availability of any federal net operating losses or credits arising in any Pre-Closing Tax Period that would or could be carried forward into any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(c) Any payment made by the Escrow Agent on behalf of (or for the benefit of) the Common Holders pursuant to Section 3.4(c) or pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall constitute full satisfaction of any obligation of the Common Holders to make such payment. In the event of a conflict between the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

SECTION 9.3 Indemnification and Reimbursement by Parent. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Common Holders, the Stockholder Representative and their respective officers, directors, employees, equity owners, controlling Persons and Affiliates (collectively, “Company Indemnified Persons”) (provided that, following the Closing, the “Company Indemnified Persons” shall be the Common Holders, the Stockholder Representative and their respective officers, directors, employees, equity owners, controlling Persons and Affiliates), from and against any and all actual Damages arising from or in

connection with (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Parent contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Parent pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Parent and, after the Closing, the Company contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement entered into by Parent and the Company under or pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. For the sole purpose of determining the amount of Damages (and not for determining whether any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty has occurred), the representations and warranties of Parent shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality.

SECTION 9.4 Limitations on Amount of Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification claims for Damages shall be asserted by the Company Indemnified Persons or the Parent Indemnified Persons, respectively, under Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.2(a) (other than Section 4.9(b) and Section 4.9(r)), respectively, unless (i) any individual Damage or group or series of related Damages exceeds $50,000 (such Damage or group or series of related Damages that does not exceed $50,000, the “De Minimis Damages”), and (ii) the aggregate amount of Damages that would otherwise be payable under each of Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.2(a) (other than Section 4.9(b) and Section 4.9(r)), as applicable, which shall not include for such purposes De Minimis Damages, exceeds $2,032,000 (the “Basket Amount”), whereupon the Company Indemnified Person or the Parent Indemnified Person, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive only amounts for Damages (which shall not include for such purposes De Minimis Damages) in excess of the Basket Amount.

(b) In no event shall the aggregate amount of Damages paid on behalf of the Common Holders under Section 9.2(a) with regard to inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.9 and the Fundamental Representations, exceed $15,000,000.

(c) In no event shall the aggregate amount of Damages paid on behalf of the Common Holders under (i) Section 9.2(b) and (ii) Section 9.2(a) with regard to inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.9 and the Fundamental Representations, exceed the Estimated Merger Consideration.

(d) Under no circumstances shall any Company Indemnified Person or Parent Indemnified Person (each an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) be entitled to be indemnified for (i) special or punitive damages, other than those payable to a third party, (ii) lost profits, lost revenues, or loss of business opportunity or reputation or (iii) damages that are not found to be proximately caused by the facts and circumstances causing the breach giving rise to indemnification hereunder. The party seeking indemnification under this Article IX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damage that forms the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder.

(e) No party hereto shall be obligated to indemnify any other Person with respect to (i) any representation, warranty, covenant or condition specifically waived in writing by the other party on or prior to the Closing, (ii) any Damages with respect to any matter if such

matter was included in the calculation of the adjustment to the Estimated Merger Consideration (to the extent so included), (iii) any Damages for which a Claims Notice was not duly delivered prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date or (iv) the breach of any representation or warranty that was cured by a Supplement (provided, however, that Supplements shall not cure any breaches in existence on the date of this Agreement).

SECTION 9.5 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) All claims for indemnification by either a Company Indemnified Person or Parent Indemnified Person under this Article IX shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with Section 9.5 and Section 9.6.

(b) If a Parent Indemnified Person intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article IX with respect to a third-party claim, Parent Indemnified Person shall, promptly following such Parent Indemnified Person’s knowledge of such claim, notify the Stockholder Representative in writing of such claim, describing such claim in reasonable detail and the amount or estimated amount of any alleged Damages relating to such claim (the “Claims Notice”); provided that the failure to provide prompt notice will relieve the indemnifying party of any liability it may have under this Article IX to the extent the defense of such claim is adversely affected by the indemnified party’s failure to provide prompt notice.

(c) If a Company Indemnified Person intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article IX with respect to a third-party claim, the Stockholder Representative shall, promptly following the Stockholder Representative’s knowledge of such claim, deliver a Claims Notice to Parent; provided that the failure to provide prompt notice will relieve the indemnifying party of any liability it may have under this Article IX to the extent the defense of such claim is adversely affected by the indemnified party’s failure to provide prompt notice.

(d) The party from which any Indemnitee is seeking indemnification under this Article IX (the “Indemnitor”) shall have 30 days from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Claims Notice to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to assume the defense or prosecution of the third party claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such claim in accordance herewith: (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such third party claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (ii) the Indemnitee shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor; and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee unless the judgment or settlement provides solely for the payment of money, the Indemnitor makes such payment (subject to the applicable limitations contained herein) and the Indemnitee receives an unconditional release. The parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with third party claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of such third party claim, the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.

(e) If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such third party claim within 30 days of receipt of the Claims Notice, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume such defense, at its sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnitee incurs Damages with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, at the expense of the Indemnitor), upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor: (i) shall have the right to participate in the defense of the third party claim at its sole cost and expense; (ii) may at any time thereafter assume defense of the third party claim, in which event the Indemnitor shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel incurred prior to the assumption by the Indemnitor of defense of the third party claim; and (iii) shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.

(f) The Parent Indemnified Person shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which a Parent Indemnified Person is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article IX that the Stockholder Representative has elected to control, including, but not limited to, by providing the Stockholder Representative with reasonable access to books, records, employees and officers (including as witnesses) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

SECTION 9.6 Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought setting forth in reasonable detail the alleged facts and circumstances relating to such claim and providing copies of any relevant documents in support of such claim. Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnitor shall have 30 days to object to such claim for indemnification by delivery of a written notice of such objection to the Indemnitee specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. Failure to timely object shall constitute a final and binding acceptance of the claim for indemnification by the Indemnitor and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, such claim shall be paid by the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 9.6(b). If an objection is timely made by the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 30 days from the date (such period the “Negotiation Period”) the Indemnitee receives such objection. After the Negotiation Period, if the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor still cannot agree on the amount of the claim for indemnification, either the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor may submit the dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 11.6.

(b) Upon determination of the amount of a claim for indemnification that is binding on both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall pay the amount of such claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds, within 10 days of the date such amount is determined.

SECTION 9.7 Tax and Insurance. In calculating the amount of Damages to any Indemnitee under this Article IX, such Damages shall be reduced by (a) applying any reserves and allowances specifically related to such matter to the extent reflected on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and resulting in a reduction in the Final Merger Consideration, (b) the amount of any Tax benefits or Tax losses that the Indemnitee actually realizes as a result of the incurrence of Damages from which indemnification is sought, (c) any amounts recoverable by the Indemnitee from insurers as a result of the facts or circumstances giving rise to the Damages and (d) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitee from any third party as a result of the facts or circumstances giving rise to the Damages.

SECTION 9.8 Remedies Exclusive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except for (i) remedies based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or bad faith and (ii) equitable remedies (including, but not limited to, specific performance), the remedy provisions set forth in this Article IX shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies following the Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that each party hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

SECTION 9.9 Tax Treatment. Any payment by Parent to the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Common Holders, or from the Escrow Account on behalf of the Common Holders to Parent, pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the consideration paid to or received by the parties, as the case may be for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

ARTICLE X

TAX MATTERS

SECTION 10.1 Tax Matters.

(a) Returns and Payments.

(i) Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Stockholder Representative shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are due after the Closing Date. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Stockholder Representative shall permit Parent to review and comment on all income and franchise Tax Returns prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as is reasonably requested by Parent that do not adversely affect the Common Holders’ liability for Taxes under this Agreement.

(ii) Straddle Periods. Parent shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Taxes (“Pre-Closing Taxes”) relating to all periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (the “Straddle Period”). Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Parent shall permit the Stockholders Representative to review and comment on all income and franchise Tax Returns and any other Tax Returns if such other Tax Returns show an unpaid tax liability for which the Common Holders would be responsible under this Agreement prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as is reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative that do not adversely affect the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ liability for taxes that are not the responsibility of the Common Holders. The Pre-Closing Taxes shall be calculated as follows: For purposes of this Section 10.1, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the first day of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date, using the “closing of the books” method of accounting. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company Expenses, any unamortized financing fees on the Credit Facility and the Option Consideration to the extent deductible under applicable Tax law shall be taken as a deductions on the Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are filed for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and, in the case of any Tax Returns filed for a Straddle Period, such deductions shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. For this purpose, the safe harbor of Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 IRB 746 shall be applied in determining the deductible amount of “success-based fees.”

(b) Audits. Parent shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to promptly notify the Stockholder Representative in writing upon receipt by Parent, Company the Company Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments that may affect the Tax liabilities of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries and for which the Common Holders could be liable. The Stockholder Representative shall have the sole right to represent the interests of any of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in any Tax matter, including any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or the filing of any amended return, that involves a Tax liability or potential Tax liability for which the Common Holders could be liable (a “Tax Matter”), and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, to reasonably cooperate with Stockholder Representative and its counsel in the defense or compromise of any Tax Matter. Parent shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) any Tax Matter at its own expense. The Stockholder Representative will not settle or compromise any Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld) if the settlement or compromise would increase the Taxes of, or otherwise adversely affect, the Parent, Company or any Company Subsidiary in a Post-Closing Tax Period. This Section 10.1(b) shall control in the event of a conflict with any other sections of this Agreement.

(c) Refunds. All refunds or credits of Taxes (including any interest thereon) received by or credited to any of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries attributable to (i) periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or to such portions of Straddle Periods ending on the Closing Date (collectively “Stockholders’ Refunds”) shall be for the benefit of the Common Holders, except to the extent such amounts are reflected as an asset on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Working Capital, and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, use their best efforts to obtain any Stockholders’ Refunds and shall pay over to Stockholders’ Representative any Stockholders’ Refunds immediately upon receipt thereof.

(d) Cooperation. After the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Company and each Company Subsidiary to, (i) make available to the other, as reasonably requested, and to any taxing authority all information, records or documents relating to Tax liabilities or potential Tax liabilities of the Company and Company Subsidiaries for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date and shall preserve all such information, records and documents (the “Records”) until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations for assessment or refund of Taxes or extensions thereof; (ii) abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority; and (iii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discharging any Records. After the Closing Date, Stockholders and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Company and each Company Subsidiary to, cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 10.1 and any audit, litigation, appeal, hearing, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.

(e) Amendments of Tax Returns. Except as otherwise required under applicable Law, neither Parent, any Affiliate of Parent, the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall amend any Tax Return of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

SECTION 10.2 Transfer Taxes. All stamp, transfer, documentary, sales and use, value added, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest and excluding for the avoidance of doubt income and withholding Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Parent, and Parent shall at its own expense, procure any stock transfer stamps required by, and properly file on a timely basis all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to, any of the Transfer Taxes.
