ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 2.1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase. Buyer hereby purchases from the Sellers, and the Sellers hereby sell, transfer and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, all of the Shares held by each such Seller as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Disclosure Schedule in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 2.2, subject to adjustments, if any, made in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.4.

Section 2.2. Closing Date Payment. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Sellers an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Aggregate Amount minus the Escrow Amount (to be paid to the Escrow Agent to be held and distributed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement) minus the Payoff Amount (to be paid to certain creditors and lenders pursuant to Section 2.7) minus the amount of any Transaction Expenses not paid by the Sellers or the Company prior to the Closing (which shall be paid, in each case, by Buyer on behalf of the Sellers or the Company, as applicable, in accordance with

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

the direction letter delivered by the Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.7) minus the EAU Payment (to be paid to the Company for further distribution pursuant to Section 2.5(c)) minus the EAU Employment Taxes minus the Representative Expense Amount (to be paid to the Representative pursuant to Section 9.6(d)) (such amount, the “Closing Date Cash Amount”). The Closing Date Cash Amount shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.3. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within 100 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and deliver to the Representative a written statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s final calculations of (i) the Net Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date, immediately prior to giving effect to the Closing, calculated in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (the “Final Net Working Capital”) and (ii) the Transaction Expenses not paid by the Sellers or the Company prior to the Closing or paid by Buyer on behalf of the Sellers or the Company (and which therefore reduced the Closing Date Cash Amount) in connection with the Closing pursuant to Section 2.7 (the “Final Transaction Expenses”).

(b) During the 45-day period immediately following the Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Representative shall have reasonable access to the Company’s books and records and the working papers related to the preparation of the Final Closing Statement during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice. The Final Closing Statement (including the determinations included therein) will become final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and the Sellers (a) on the 45^th day following the Representative’s receipt thereof, unless Buyer receives from the Representative prior to such 45^th day written notice of the Representative’s disagreement (a “Dispute Notice”) with any account or determination set forth in the Final Closing Statement or (b) on such earlier date as the Representative notifies Buyer that it does not dispute the Final Closing Statement. Any Dispute Notice will specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted (collectively, the “Disputed Items”). The Dispute Notice shall be limited to disputes or objections based on mathematical or factual errors or based on the final calculations contained in the Final Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, not being calculated in accordance with the definitions hereof. If the Representative timely delivers a Dispute Notice, then the determination of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Transaction Expenses (in accordance with the resolution described in clause (x) or (y) below, as applicable) will become final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and the Sellers on the first to occur of (x) the date on which Buyer and the Representative resolve in writing all differences they have with respect to the Disputed Items or (y) the date on which all of the Disputed Items that are not resolved by Buyer and the Representative in writing are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.3(c). The Sellers and the Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained in the Final Closing Statement to the extent such amounts and items are not raised in the Dispute Notice.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

(c) During the thirty (30) days following delivery of a Dispute Notice, Buyer and the Representative will seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to all of the Disputed Items. Any Disputed Item resolved in writing by Buyer and the Representative will be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and the Sellers. If Buyer and the Representative do not reach agreement on all of the Disputed Items during such 30-day period, then at the end of such 30-day period, Buyer and the Representative shall submit all unresolved Disputed Items (collectively, the “Unresolved Items”) to the Accounting Firm within fifteen (15) days to review and resolve such matters. Each of Buyer and the Representative shall thereafter (i) have the opportunity to present their respective positions as to the Unresolved Items to the Accounting Firm (which opportunity shall not extend for more than fifteen (15) days after the submission of such dispute by Buyer and the Representative to the Accounting Firm) and (ii) instruct the Accounting Firm (x) not to assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value or lower than the lowest value assigned by Buyer or the Representative in its respective presentation given to (and any related materials submitted in connection therewith to) the Accounting Firm in accordance with the foregoing clause (i), and (y) to make a final determination (the “Final Determination”) not later than forty five (45) days following submission of the Unresolved Items to the Accounting Firm. The Final Determination will be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and the Sellers, effective as of the date the Accounting Firm’s written determination is received by Buyer and the Representative. Each party will bear its own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses of participating in such dispute resolution procedure. The Accounting Firm shall calculate the allocation of its fees and expenses between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, based upon a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of the amount actually contested that is not awarded to Buyer or the Representative (as the case may be) and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate dollar value of the amount actually contested between the parties. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “amount actually contested” by each of Buyer and the Representative shall be determined by reference to their respective written presentations submitted to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.3(c). For example and solely for the purposes of illustration, if the Representative claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the Unresolved Items by awarding to the Sellers $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the dispute resolution process contemplated by this Section 2.3(c) will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to the Representative.

(d) Upon the determination, in accordance with Sections 2.3(a), (b) and (c) above of the Final Closing Statement and any Final Determination made, the following adjustment (the “Final Adjustment”) shall be made:

(i) If Final Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Representative on behalf of the Sellers (for distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the proportions set forth in Section 2.3(d) of the Disclosure Schedule) such excess in cash within five (5)

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Business Days from the date on which the Final Adjustment is finally determined by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Representative.

(ii) If Target Net Working Capital exceeds Final Net Working Capital, then the parties shall cause the Escrow Agent to release such excess from the Escrow Amount to Buyer within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Adjustment is finally determined.

(iii) The parties shall cause the Escrow Agent to release an amount, if any, in cash equal to the Final Transaction Expenses from the Escrow Amount to Buyer within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Adjustment is finally determined.

In the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), (x) if the Escrow Amount is insufficient, the Sellers shall pay any amounts owed to Buyer in accordance with the proportions set forth in Section 2.3(d) of the Disclosure Schedule within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Adjustment is finally determined by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer and (y) if the Sellers are obligated to make a payment to Buyer and fail to timely do so, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to deduct by way of set off such amount due from any amount due to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4. Any payment under this paragraph (d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 2.4. Contingent Consideration.

(a) Within 60 days after the end of the Contingent Consideration Period, Buyer shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Contingent Payment Statement”) setting forth the Gross Profits during the Contingent Consideration Period (the “Contingent Consideration Gross Profits”).

(i) If the Contingent Consideration Gross Profits are less than or equal to $14,300,000 (such amount, the “Gross Profits Benchmark”), no Contingent Consideration shall be earned and no party shall have any obligation pursuant to this Section 2.4 to make any payment.

(ii) (x) If the Contingent Consideration Gross Profits is greater than the Gross Profits Benchmark, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Representative on behalf of the Sellers two times (2x) the amount by which Contingent Consideration Gross Profits exceeds the Gross Profits Benchmark; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Buyer pursuant to this clause (x) exceed $3,000,000; and (y) if the Contingent Consideration Gross Profits is greater than the Supplemental Gross Profits Benchmark, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Representative on behalf of the Sellers one-half of the amount by which Contingent

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Consideration Gross Profits exceeds the Supplemental Gross Profits Benchmark; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Buyer pursuant to this clause (y) exceed $1,000,000 (such amount determined pursuant to this clause (y), together with the amount determined pursuant to clause (x), as may be adjusted in accordance with Sections 2.4(b) and (c), the “Contingent Consideration”).

The Contingent Payment Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery thereof, unless the Representative gives written notice of its disagreement with the Contingent Payment Statement (the “Notice of Contingent Payment Disagreement”) to Buyer prior to such date, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. Any amount owed in accordance with Sections 2.4(a) and (b) shall be paid within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the final Contingent Consideration Gross Profits is determined hereunder and shall be further distributed by the Representative in accordance with the proportions set forth in Section 2.4 of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) If a Notice of Contingent Payment Disagreement is delivered, the Representative and Buyer shall seek in good faith during the thirty (30) day period following delivery to resolve in writing any differences that they may have, and Buyer may withhold any Contingent Consideration until the dispute is resolved pursuant to this Section 2.4(b). The Notice of Contingent Payment Disagreement shall be limited to disputes or objections based on mathematical or factual errors or based on the Contingent Consideration Gross Profits not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement. The Sellers and the Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained in the Contingent Payment Statement to the extent such amounts and items are not raised in the Notice of Contingent Payment Disagreement. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Representative and Buyer have not so resolved such differences, Buyer and the Representative shall submit such dispute to the Accounting Firm within fifteen (15) days of the end of such thirty (30) day period. Each of Buyer and the Representative shall thereafter (i) have the opportunity to present their respective positions as to such dispute to the Accounting Firm (which opportunity shall not extend for more than fifteen (15) days after the submission of such dispute by Buyer and the Representative to the Accounting Firm) and (ii) instruct the Accounting Firm to redetermine the calculation of the Contingent Consideration Gross Profits (which calculation shall be within the range of dispute between Buyer and the Representative based on the determination of Contingent Consideration Gross Profits set forth in their respective presentations given to (and any related materials submitted in connection therewith to) the Accounting Firm in accordance with the foregoing clause (i)) within thirty (30) days following submission to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm’s final determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the parties, effective as of the date the Accounting Firm’s written determination is received by Buyer and the Representative. Each party will bear their own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses of participating in such dispute resolution procedure. The Accounting Firm shall calculate the allocation of its fees and expenses between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, based

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

upon a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (x) the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of the amount of Contingent Consideration Gross Profits actually contested that is not awarded to Buyer or the Representative (as the case may be) and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate dollar value of the amount of Contingent Consideration Gross Profits actually contested between the parties. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “amount of Contingent Consideration Gross Profits actually contested” by each of Buyer and the Representative shall be determined by reference to their respective written presentations submitted to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.4(b). For example and solely for the purposes of illustration, if the Representative claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to the Sellers $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the dispute resolution process contemplated by this Section 2.4(b) will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 ÷ 1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 ÷ 1,000) to the Representative.

(c) The Contingent Consideration due and payable to the Sellers shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. Buyer shall determine in good faith the portion (if any) of the amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement that will be treated as interest as required by Law.

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Company and Buyer shall have complete discretion with respect to the contracting, subcontracting, bidding, marketing, pricing and staffing of all of the Company’s services and that the Company may eliminate or otherwise alter at any time or from time to time any or all of such services; and the Company shall have the right to operate its business as it sees fit and shall have no obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to act in any manner in an attempt to protect or maximize the Contingent Consideration or the Contingent Consideration Gross Profits. The Sellers further acknowledge and agree that (i) the Company and Buyer shall have no obligation to consult with or discuss the business of the Company with the Sellers by reason of this Agreement and (ii) the Contingent Consideration is contingent on the performance of the business of the Company and there is no guaranteed minimum Contingent Consideration under this Agreement. Buyer makes no representation and expresses no opinion as to the value of the Contingent Consideration, if any. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, as long as the Company and Buyer comply with their obligations as set forth in Section 2.4(a) and (b), the Sellers shall not make or be entitled to make any claim against Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates in connection with the potential Contingent Consideration except in connection with a breach of the obligation to pay any Contingent Consideration determined to be owed pursuant to this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5. Treatment of EAUs.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have entered into a cancellation agreement with each grantee of an EAU in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

“EAU Cancellation Agreements”) and shall have provided to Buyer executed counterparts to the EAU Cancellation Agreements (or copies thereof).

(b) As of the Closing, (i) the Company shall have duly terminated the Company’s 2007 Equity Appreciation Plan and shall have given to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of same and (ii) in accordance with the EAU Cancellation Agreements, each EAU shall be cancelled and shall instead represent only the right to receive the amount set forth in Section 2.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule applicable to such EAU, with such amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of the EAU Cancellation Agreements and this Agreement.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the EAU Payment to the Company, and the Company shall in turn pay the EAU Payment to the applicable EAU holders in the amounts set forth on Section 2.5(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, less applicable withholding Taxes, through the Company’s payroll system as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date.

(d) As of the date hereof, the Company and its board of directors or other governing body shall have taken all necessary actions, including adopting any necessary resolutions and providing all required notice and obtaining any other required consents, to ensure that the EAUs are treated as provided for in this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6. Withholding. Buyer and the Company shall be permitted to withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (including with respect to the Escrow Amount) such amounts as Buyer or the Company reasonably determines are required to be withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Law. Such withheld and remitted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Seller in respect of which such withholding was made.

Section 2.7. Indebtedness; Transaction Expenses. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay and discharge on behalf of the Company (i) the Indebtedness to the lenders and creditors owed in the amount set forth on Section 4.24 of the Disclosure Schedule (the aggregate amount of all such Indebtedness, the “Payoff Amount”) and (ii) all Transaction Expenses not paid by the Sellers or the Company prior to the Closing, in each case in accordance with the information set forth on Section 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedule (which includes each Person to whom Transaction Expenses are payable, the amount necessary to fully discharge the Transaction Expenses due to such Person and payment instructions). The Sellers previously delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Buyer payoff letters, release and lien discharges (or agreements therefor) from each lender or creditor who is being paid a portion of the Payoff Amount in connection with the Transaction and such letters included the total amount required to be paid to fully satisfy the outstanding Indebtedness as of the Closing Date owed to such lender or creditor. The parties agree that the EAU Payment and Transaction Expenses are allocable to the Pre-Closing Date Tax Period.

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions listed in Section 4.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, which are the only jurisdictions where the nature of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2. Authorization. The Company has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which the Company is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Company, and no other limited liability company proceedings are necessary to authorize this Agreement or for the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement constitutes, and each Ancillary Agreement will when executed and delivered constitute, a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Except as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is a party, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, (x) violate any provision of Law to which the Company is subject, (y) conflict with or violate the Company Organizational Documents, or (z) violate or result in a breach of or constitute a default (or an event which would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute a default) under, or require the consent of any third party under, or result in or permit the termination or amendment of any provision of, or result in or permit the acceleration of the maturity or cancellation of performance of any obligation under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any asset or property of the Company, or give to others any interests or rights therein under, any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of its assets or properties is subject except, in the case of clauses (x) and (z),

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

for any such violations, breaches, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, Encumbrances or for any such consents the failure of which to be obtained that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company or the Business or give rise to a material liability of the Company.

Section 4.4. Consents. No consent, approval or authorization of, or exemption by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or third party is required to be obtained or made by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is a party or the taking by the Company of any other action contemplated hereby or thereby or the continuation after the Closing of the business of the Company as conducted prior to the Closing, except for such consents, approvals and authorizations the failure of which to be obtained that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company or the Business or give rise to a material liability of the Company.

The Company does not have any obligation to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any equity security or any interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any other distribution in respect thereof.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Representative for review, comment and approval. The Company shall consider in good faith the Representative’s requested changes to such Tax Return.

(b) Allocation of Certain Taxes. To the extent permissible under applicable Law, the parties agree to close the Tax year of the Company (including, if required by applicable Law, pursuant to a required election) as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. To the extent that the Company is required to file a Tax Return for a Straddle Period in any jurisdiction, the parties agree to use the following conventions for determining the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: the Taxes attributable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of Taxes that are either based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i)) imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Company or otherwise measured by the level of any item, 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 calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated in accordance with clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (i) and clause (ii) of this Section 7.5(b) do not address Transfer Taxes, the payment of which is addressed in Section 7.5(d).

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Sellers and Buyer shall (and Buyer shall cause the Company to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company; (ii) assist in any Tax Contest or other proceeding with respect to the Tax Returns or Taxes of the Company; (iii) provide any information required to allow the Sellers, Buyer or the Company to comply with any information reporting requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws; and (iv) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

(d) Transfer Taxes. The Sellers will pay, and will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against the amount of, any Transfer Taxes. Buyer will prepare and file Tax Returns in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes at the Sellers’ expense.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

If, after the Closing Date, Buyer or the Company receives any notice, letter, correspondence, claim or decree from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Company (a “Tax Notice”) that is related to any Pre-Closing Date Tax Period (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, deliver such Tax Notice to the Sellers in the manner prescribed by Section 9.1 within ten (10) Business Days following receipt thereof. In the case of any Tax Notice relating to a Pass-Through Tax Return, the Sellers and the Representative shall, at their own expense, have the right to handle, defend, conduct and control any such Tax Contest. The Company shall have the right to participate in such Pre-Closing Tax Contest at its own expense, and the Sellers shall take any reasonable actions requested by the Company to facilitate such participation by the Company. The Representative shall have the right to settle or compromise any such Tax Contest only with the written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the case of any other Tax Contest related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Company shall have the right to handle, defend, conduct and control any Tax Contest that relates to such Tax Notice unless it forgoes such right by delivering written notice to such effect in the manner prescribed by Section 9.1 to the Sellers within twenty (20) days of the Sellers’ receipt of the applicable Tax Notice from Buyer or the Company, in which case the Sellers shall be obligated to handle, defend, conduct and control such Pre-Closing Tax Contest; however, the Company shall nevertheless have the right to participate in such Pre-Closing Tax Contest being handled by the Sellers at the Company’s own expense and there shall be no compromise or settlement of such Pre-Closing Tax Contest without the Company’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Buyer or the Company, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall provide each other with copies of all material correspondence and other material documents received from any Governmental Authority in connection with any Pre-Closing Tax Contest.

(f) Tax Treatment of the Transaction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purchase of the Shares sold by the Sellers hereby is intended to be treated, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, as the acquisition of the assets of the Company by Buyer (as to Buyer) and the sale of partnership interests by the Sellers (as to the Sellers) consistent with situation 2 of IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, (x) pursuant to Section 708(b)(1) of the Code, the Company shall terminate on the Closing Date as a result of Buyer becoming the sole member of the Company, (y) the taxable year of the Company shall end on the Closing Date, and (z) the Company shall be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its sole owner, Buyer, immediately after the Closing Date. Buyer and the Sellers shall file, and shall cause their Affiliates to file, all Tax Returns and statements, forms and schedules in connection therewith in a manner consistent with the tax treatment described in this paragraph, and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable Tax Laws.

Section 7.6. Termination of Affiliate Transactions. The Sellers acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their Affiliates, that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all obligations and liabilities of the Company to the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates have been terminated.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Section 7.7. Name Use. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates, that from and after the Closing, it renounces any and all rights to the use of the name “EdgeRock Technologies, LLC,” “EdgeRock Technology Partners” or similar names or any derivations thereof, and any trademarks and trade names containing or comprising the foregoing, and each Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, use such names or similar names and such trademarks and trade names.

Section 7.8. Form 8-K; Financial Statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 7.3, the parties hereto acknowledge that Buyer and its Affiliates will be required to file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to disclose certain information relating to the Transaction, and all of the parties hereto expressly consent to such filing and disclosure of the information required to be disclosed therein. In addition, the Sellers and the Company acknowledge that in connection with such filing and other filings that Buyer and its Affiliates may make with the SEC, Buyer and its Affiliates may be required to disclose certain financial statements of the Company, along with certain pro-forma financial statements, in order to comply with the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X or other applicable Law. If so required in Buyer’s good faith judgment, the Sellers agree, at Buyer’s expense for any costs incurred by the Sellers (including the reasonable fees of the Sellers’ advisors), (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to Buyer such financial statements as Buyer so determines are required to be filed or furnished with the SEC and (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s current and former accountants to cooperate, in providing (a) historical financial information to Buyer to allow Buyer to satisfy its filing obligations with the SEC and (b) any other information reasonably requested by Buyer in order to comply with the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X or other applicable Law or in the preparation by Buyer of Company financial statements, including pro forma financial statements. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any financial statements prepared pursuant to clause (i) above to be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, throughout the periods covered, to present fairly the financial condition, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the times and for the periods indicated therein and to be, if they are as of a fiscal year end or for a fiscal year, (x) audited in a manner meeting the requirements of GAAP and Regulation S-X and (y) accompanied by (i) an opinion of an independent registered public accounting firm containing no material qualifications and identifying no material exceptions to GAAP and otherwise be in a form required under the rules and regulations of the SEC and (ii) a consent of such independent registered public accounting firm to Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ use of the audit report and reference to such independent registered public accounting firm in filings with the SEC.

(e) The parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties (after consultation with their advisors) and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Sellers hereunder.

Section 8.3. Third Party Claim. If an indemnifiable claim is made against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 30 days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Third Party Claim, deliver a written notice (the “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto, provided, however, that failure to provide such notice within the time period required shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Claim Notice shall describe to the extent material the facts giving rise to the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written documentation delivered to the Indemnified Party by the third party asserting such Third Party Claim and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the date of personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party in writing whether or not it shall assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, such written notice shall include a written notice acknowledging its unconditional obligation to fully indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim in accordance with, and subject to, the limitations contained in this Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim described in a Claim Notice that (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief as a remedy, (ii) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal allegation, proceeding, action,

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

indictment or investigation, (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, is likely to result in liability that in the aggregate (A) will exceed the then remaining amount of the Cap or (B) will not exceed the Deductible, (iv) primarily relates to a claim or demand of, or a dispute with, a Material Customer of the Company or (v) the defense of which by the Indemnifying Party could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as herein provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to do so by appropriate proceedings. If the Indemnifying Party has the right to and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence; shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; and shall diligently pursue the resolution of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one outside counsel in connection with such participation (i) if it requests the Indemnified Party to participate or (ii) if in the opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party impermissible under applicable standards of professional conduct. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Subject to attorney-client privilege, such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, however, that any out-of-pocket cost incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such cooperation shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise a Third Party Claim with the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise such a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise (x) provides solely for the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and (y) does not subject the Indemnified Party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy. If the Indemnifying Party does not defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend and settle such Third Party Claim; provided that the amount of any such Third Party Claim, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful, shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Section 8.4. Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except with respect to breaches of the Company Fundamental Representations, breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.24 or fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover for any Losses for breaches of representations and warranties indemnified against pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for breaches of representations and warranties exceeds $125,000 (the “Deductible”), whereupon the Buyer Indemnitees shall have the right to seek indemnification for Losses incurred in excess of the Deductible for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i). Except with respect to breaches of the Company Fundamental Representations, breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.24, or fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum amount of aggregate Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover pursuant to this Agreement for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) is $3,000,000 (the “Cap”). With respect to breaches of the Company Fundamental Representations or indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii) and Section 8.2(a)(vi), the maximum amount of aggregate Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover pursuant to this Agreement for breaches of such representations and warranties is the sum of the Closing Date Cash Amount and any Contingent Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no time or other limitation on the Sellers’ indemnification obligation hereunder shall apply to any Losses arising out of or resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(b) For purposes of this ARTICLE VIII, the existence of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement and the determination of the amount of Losses resulting or arising from such misrepresentation, breach or nonfulfillment shall be made without regard to any materiality qualification (including any reference to Business Material Adverse Effect or material adverse effect).

Section 8.5. Payment of Indemnification Obligation. Upon a final determination of an indemnifiable claim made by an Indemnified Party, then the amount of the indemnified Losses stated in, or arising from, such final determination shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party within five (5) Business Days after the date of such final determination. If the Indemnifying Party is Buyer, payment of Losses shall be in cash or by cashier’s check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Representative who shall hold such funds in trust for the benefit of the Sellers and shall promptly disburse such funds to the Sellers, without interest. If the Indemnifying Party is any Seller, payment of indemnified Losses shall be first from the Escrow Amount and second, if the Escrow Amount is insufficient, in cash or by cashier’s check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Buyer.

Section 8.6. Losses Net of Insurance, etc. Payments for any Losses for which indemnification is provided shall be net of any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement actually received as an offset against such Losses (net of any costs

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

incurred to recover such amounts, proceeds or receipts and any increases in insurance premiums payable by the Indemnified Party attributable to such Losses).

Section 8.7. Right of Set-Off. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4, each Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to set-off from the payment of any amount owed by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Party (including any payments under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4) any amounts due to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party hereunder. Buyer hereby authorizes each Seller to set-off from the payment of any amount owed by such Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 2.3, any amounts due to such Seller or any other Seller Indemnified Party hereunder.

Section 8.8. No Contribution. Each Seller waives, and acknowledges and agrees, that such Seller shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with any indemnification obligation or other liability to which he, she or it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 8.9. Exclusive Remedy. With the exception of breach of the parties’ post-Closing covenants hereunder (including those set forth in Article II), in which case the parties shall have all remedies available under law or in equity, including injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable relief, and fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct, from and after the Closing, the rights of the parties hereto to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement or its subject matter; provided, however, that a claim for fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct by a Seller with respect to any representation or warranty made by a Seller in this Agreement may only be asserted solely against Seller who committed such fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct, and no other Seller shall be liable for the fraud or willful misconduct committed by such Seller.

Section 9.3. Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Disclosure of any item in a section of the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material item, fact, exception of fact, event or circumstance or that occurrence or non-occurrence of any change or effect related to such item would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of any party to consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.4. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Massachusetts state courts located in Boston, Massachusetts, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, or with respect to any such action or jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto will be exclusive, except solely to the extent that all such courts lawfully decline to exercise such jurisdiction.

Section 9.5. Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void; provided, however, that Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to any of its Affiliates to the extent Buyer remains responsible for performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.6. Representative

(a) MEP Advisors, LLC is hereby constituted and appointed as agent and attorney‑in‑fact for and on behalf of the Sellers and is the Representative for all purposes under this Agreement.

The Sellers agree that they shall have no claim against Buyer or the Company for nonpayment of any obligation properly paid by Buyer or the Company to the Representative on behalf of the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Such agency may be changed by MEP Advisors, LLC from time to time upon not less than five days’ prior written notice to Buyer.

All power, authority, rights and privileges conferred in this Agreement to MEP Advisors, LLC as the Representative will apply to any successor Representative.

(c) The Representative will not be liable for any act done or omitted under this Agreement as the Representative while acting in good faith, and any act taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

faith. Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Sellers. In performing any of its duties under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, the Representative will not be liable to the Sellers for any Losses that any Person may incur as a result of any act, or failure to act, by the Representative under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, and the Representative will be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers for all Losses, except to the extent that the actions or omissions of the Representative were taken or omitted not in good faith.
