- 19 -

(c) The Closing Balance Sheet shall (i) be prepared, and Closing Working Capital shall be determined, in accordance with (A) the accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, conventions, categorizations, definitions, principles, judgments, assumptions, techniques or estimation methods with respect to financial statements, their classification or presentation or otherwise (including with respect to the nature of accounts, level of reserves or level of accruals) that are specified in the calculation of the Target Working Capital as set forth on the Working Capital Schedule, (B) to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing clause (A), the accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, conventions, categorizations, definitions, principles, judgments, assumptions, techniques or estimation methods with respect to financial statements, their classification or presentation or otherwise (including with respect to the nature of accounts, level of reserves or level of accruals) adopted in connection with the latest balance sheet included in the Annual Financial Statements, and (C) to the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing clauses (A) or (B), GAAP and, (ii) not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) The post-Closing purchase price adjustment as set forth in this Section 3.03 is not intended to permit the introduction of different accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, conventions, categorizations, definitions, principles, judgments, assumptions, techniques or estimation methods with respect to financial statements, their classification or presentation or otherwise (including with respect to the nature of accounts, level of reserves or level of accruals) for the Working Capital Schedule and used in determining the amount of the Target Working Capital; it being the intent of the parties hereto that the Closing Working Capital be calculated consistently with the Target Working Capital in order to allow a meaningful comparison of the Closing Working Capital to the Target Working Capital. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) to the extent that the Closing Balance Sheet corrects an error or an inconsistency, or noncompliance with the accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, conventions, categorizations, definitions, principles, judgments, assumptions, techniques or estimation methods with respect to financial statements, their classification or presentation or otherwise (including with respect to the nature of accounts, level of reserves or level of accruals) that are specified in the calculation of the Target Working Capital as set forth on the Working Capital Schedule, then either the Closing Working Capital or Target Working Capital shall be reduced or increased as a result of such error, inconsistency or noncompliance, as appropriate, to reflect such error, inconsistency or noncompliance and (ii) if the same item would be reflected differently on the Closing Balance Sheet than in the calculations of the Target Working Capital set forth on the Working Capital Schedule, the parties hereto will equitably adjust the calculation of either the Closing Working Capital or Target Working Capital so as to result in consistent treatment.

(e) The Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) shall (i) permit the Representative and its representatives, subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations, to have reasonable access to the books, records and other documents (including work papers, schedules, financial statements, memoranda, etc.) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement or the Closing Balance Sheet and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Allocable Amount and provide the Representative with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by the Representative) and (ii) provide the Representative and its representatives reasonable access to the Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ (including the

- 20 -

Surviving Corporation’s) employees and advisors (including making their chief financial officer(s) and accountants available to respond to reasonable written or oral inquiries of the Representative or its representatives). If the Representative disagrees with any part of the Purchaser’s calculation of the Allocable Amount as set forth on the Closing Statement or the Closing Balance Sheet, the Representative shall, within sixty (60) days after the Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement and the Closing Balance Sheet, notify the Purchaser in writing of such disagreement by setting forth the Representative’s calculation of the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, and describing in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement (an “Objection Notice”). If an Objection Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreements with respect to the computation of the Allocable Amount. In the event that the Purchaser and the Representative are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of such Objection Notice, the Purchaser and the Representative shall submit such remaining disagreements to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, or a nationally-recognized valuation or consulting firm as is acceptable to the Purchaser and the Representative (the “Valuation Firm”).

(f) The Valuation Firm shall make a final and binding determination with respect to the computation of the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and on Exhibit H. The Purchaser and the Representative shall cooperate with the Valuation Firm during the term of its engagement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Valuation Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, as soon as practicable. The Valuation Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Purchaser’s and the Representative’s respective calculations of the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Purchaser and the Representative have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Valuation Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Valuation Firm’s determination of the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, shall be based solely on written materials submitted by the Purchaser and the Representative (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions included herein. The determination of the Valuation Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.

(g) The costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm in determining the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, shall be borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Purchaser claims the Allocable Amount is one thousand dollars ($1,000) less than the amount determined by the Representative, and the Representative contests only five hundred dollars ($500) of the amount claimed by the Purchaser, and if the Valuation Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Purchaser three hundred dollars ($300) of the five hundred dollars ($500) contested, then the costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm will be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Purchaser.

In connection with the Valuation Firm’s determination of Allocable Amount, the Valuation Firm shall also determine, pursuant to the terms of the first and second sentences of this Section 3.03(g), and taking into account all fees and expenses already paid by each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), on the other hand, as of the date of such determination, the allocation of its fees and expenses between the Purchaser and the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), which such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(h) Within five (5) Business Days after the Allocable Amount, including each of the components thereof, is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03:

(i) if the Allocable Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03 are less than the Estimated Allocable Amount, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to: (A) pay to the Purchaser from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds an amount (which in no case shall exceed the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds) (the “Purchaser Adjustment Amount”) equal to such deficiency, and (B) pay to the Representative or to the Escrow Agent at the Representative’s direction (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) the amount (if any) by which the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds is greater than the Purchaser Adjustment Amount; and

(ii) if the Allocable Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03 is greater than the Estimated Allocable Amount (the amount of such deficiency, the “Seller Adjustment Amount”), then (A) the Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one or more of its Subsidiaries to, pay to the Representative or the Escrow Agent at the Representative’s direction (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) the Seller Adjustment Amount, and (B) the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to the Representative or the Escrow Agent at the Representative’s direction (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) all of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds.

Any payments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.03(h) (the “Purchase Price Adjustments”) shall include interest on the Purchaser Adjustment Amount or the Seller Adjustment Amount, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over three hundred sixty (360), from the Closing Date to the date of payment. All Purchase Price Adjustments, other than payments of stated interest, shall (x) be treated by all parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the Enterprise Value and (y) be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Purchaser or the

3.04 Earnout Payment.

(a) In addition to the Merger Consideration paid at the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall also pay an earnout payment if earned (“Earnout Payment”) to the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders, which shall be based upon the Company’s achieving certain levels of Revenue during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”).

(b) If the Company’s Revenue during the Earnout Period is equal to or less than $82,000,000, then the Earnout Payment shall be zero. If the Company’s Revenue during the Earnout Period is greater than $82,000,000, then the Earnout Payment shall be calculated as follows:

(Revenue - $82,000,000)/$38,000,000 x $13,000,000 = Earnout Payment

(c) Under no circumstances shall the Earnout Payment exceed $13,000,000. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.04, in the event the Company’s Revenue is greater than $120,000,000 during the Earnout Period, the Earnout Payment shall be $13,000,000.

(d) As promptly as practicable following the conclusion of the Earnout Period (but in no event later than June 14, 2016), the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Representative (i) a statement setting forth the Company’s Revenue for the Earnout Period (“Revenue Statement”); and (ii) a statement setting forth the calculation of the Earnout Payment (“Earnout Payment Calculation”), specifying in reasonable detail such calculations. Purchaser shall provide to the Representative copies of any supporting documentation which forms the basis of the Revenue Statement and the Earnout Payment Calculation, and shall allow the Representative reasonable access to the books and records of the Company upon prior notice and subject to a reasonable confidentiality obligations solely for purposes of confirming the Revenue Statement and Earnout Payment Calculation.

(e) If the Representative disagrees with the Purchaser’s calculation of the Revenue Statement or the Earnout Payment Calculation, the Representative shall have sixty (60) days after his receipt of the Revenue Statement and the Earnout Payment Calculation to deliver to the Purchaser a statement (an “Earnout Disagreement Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Representative’s objections to the Revenue Statement and Earnout Payment Calculation, the basis for each such objection, and those portions of the Earnout Payment Calculation not in dispute (if any). If the Representative does not deliver an Earnout Disagreement Notice to the Purchaser within such sixty (60) day period, or if the Representative notifies Purchaser in writing that the Revenue Statement and the Earnout Payment Calculation are acceptable, then the Revenue Statement, Earnout Payment Calculation and Earnout Payment shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders and

- 23 -

Optionholders, and shall become final, conclusive and binding upon the parties to this Agreement, and when received as set forth in Section 3.04(i), the Representative shall distribute the Earnout Payment to the Stockholders and Optionholders based on their respective Per Share Portions. If an Earnout Disagreement Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreements with respect to the computation of the Earnout Payment. If the Purchaser and the Representative are not able to resolve the matters described in the Earnout Disagreement Notice within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Earnout Disagreement Notice, then the Purchaser and the Representative shall submit the disputed items to the Valuation Firm for its determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.03 hereof and the costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be split in a manner consistent with Section 3.03(g).

(f) The Earnout Payment, if any, shall be treated by all parties for tax purposes as a contingent payment reported on the installment method under Section 453(c) of the Code, unless the Representative elects otherwise under Section 453(d)(1) of the Code.

(g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, that Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, take any actions in bad faith or primarily for the purpose of avoiding or reducing any of the Earnout Payments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser has no obligation to operate the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in order to achieve any Earnout Payment or to maximize the amount of any Earnout Payment.

(h) The Stockholders and Optionholders understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive any Earnout Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Purchaser or the Company, and (ii) no Stockholder or Optionholder shall have any rights as a securityholder of Purchaser or the Company as a result of such Stockholder’s or Optionholder’s contingent right to receive any Earnout Payment hereunder.

(i) Any payments to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Earnout Payment, including each of the components thereof, is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.04 and shall include interest on the Earnout Payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over three hundred sixty (360), from June 14, 2016 to the date of payment. All Earnout Payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Representative.

- 51 -

individual claims or group of related claims for amounts less than the Per Claim Threshold shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded; provided, however, such Deductible shall not apply to any rights to indemnification relating to the Company Fundamental Representations or claims made pursuant to Section 11.01(ii), Section 11.01(iii), or Section 11.01(iv)

Nothing in this Section 11.02 shall limit the rights of the Stockholders, the Optionholders or the Representative to seek specific performance of the other parties’ obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 13.17.

11.03 Indemnification of the Seller Indemnified Parties.

- 53 -

11.04 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party in respect of a breach of representation or warranty or covenant shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty or covenant terminates pursuant to Section 11.07; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, prior to the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice (stating in reasonable detail the nature of, and factual and legal basis for, any such claim for indemnification, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) to the Indemnifying Party. In order to determine the validity or the amount of any applicable claim for indemnification hereunder, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Representative and its representatives reasonable access, upon the reasonable request of the Representative, to (a) all books, records and other documents (including work papers, memoranda, financial statements, Tax Returns, Tax schedules and work papers, Tax rulings, and other determinations) relating to or containing information relevant to such claim, and (b) the Purchaser’s and the Surviving Corporation’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, accountants and other professional advisors (including making the Surviving Corporation’s chief financial officer, accountants and attorneys available to respond to reasonable written or oral inquiries of the Representative and its representatives). Notwithstanding anything herein (including Section 11.04) or in the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to indemnify pursuant to Section 11.01(iii) shall terminate on October 14, 2016 regardless if any claims are still pending or the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule remain pending and have not been settled or otherwise resolved; provided, however, if a settlement of any of the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule is approved by Purchaser and the Representative pursuant to the terms hereof and has been agreed to in writing by all parties thereto on or prior to October 14, 2016, but payments owed under such agreements remain unpaid, then such payment amounts will be retained in the Specific Indemnity Escrow Account for payment after such date.

11.05 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) In order for a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any non-Affiliated Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail (including a description of the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made), of the Third-Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt, by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter,

- 54 -

the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, except as set forth in Section 11.05(c), that the Indemnifying Party may not assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim if a material part of such Third-Party Claim seeks equitable relief (other than equitable claims that are ancillary to a claim for monetary damages). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims made by any Purchaser Indemnified Party contained in Sections 11.01 and 11.02. Should an Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, except with respect to the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule, that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for such legal expenses if the Indemnifying Party determines in good faith that the incurrence of the same is appropriate in light of defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party, conflicts of interest or claims involving criminal charges. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, except with respect to the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third-Party Claim (including for the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule), all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third-Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees and other representatives and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any Third-Party Claim then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle such Third-Party Claim; provided, that, except with respect to the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice or such Indemnified Party shall have to pay a portion of the settlement. Whether or not the Representative shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third-Party Claim for which any sums are recoverable from the Indemnification Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 11.01 without the prior written consent of the Representative.

- 55 -

(c) Settlement of the matters set forth on the Specific Indemnity Schedule shall be conducted as described in the Specific Indemnity Schedule.

11.06 Net Losses. The amount of any and all Losses under this Article XI shall be determined net of (a) any Tax Benefits actually realized by any party seeking indemnification hereunder arising from any such Losses, and (b) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, indemnities or other reimbursement arrangements with respect to such Losses, including for the avoidance of doubt under the R&W Insurance Policy. If the Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it that was not taken into account at the time the indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall within ten (10) days of receipt of such Tax Benefit pay over to the Representative or to the Escrow Agent at the Representative’s direction (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as, and to the extent that, such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance, indemnification or other recovery is actually received by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery, less the costs of premiums associated with the applicable insurance, shall be promptly made to the applicable Indemnifying Person. Each party hereto waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes. In determining the amount of any Losses due to a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement (or the Schedules hereto) other than with respect to the Company Fundamental Representations and Sections 5.05 and 5.06 (and the Schedules thereto), the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Change” and words of similar import shall be disregarded and given no effect.

11.07 Survival. The representations and warranties herein shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of Section 11.01 and Section 11.03 and shall terminate on the close of business on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date and no claims may be brought with respect to such representations and warranties thereafter; provided, however, that the Company Fundamental Representations shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) years after the Closing Date. All covenants contained in this Agreement which are to be performed prior to the Closing shall terminate on the Closing Date. The covenants contained in this Agreement which are to be performed at or after the Closing by the Stockholders shall terminate once such covenants are fully performed. No claim for indemnification hereunder for breach of any representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions may be made after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 11.07.

11.08 Manner of Payment. Subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Article XI and the Escrow Agreement:

(a) Any indemnification of the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article XI shall be delivered by the Purchaser to the Representative or the Escrow Agent at the Representative’s direction (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) by wire transfer of

- 56 -

immediately available funds to an account designated by the Representative within five (5) days after the determination thereof.

(b) Except as provided in Section 11.08(c), any indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article XI shall be delivered to the Purchaser from the Indemnification Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof.

(c) Any indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for claims made pursuant to Section 11.01(iii), shall be delivered to the Purchaser from the Specific Indemnity Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after the determination thereof.

ARTICLE XII

TAX MATTERS

12.01 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(a) At the cost of the Stockholders and Optionholders, the Company shall prepare and timely file all Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that the Company shall hire ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, Inc. to prepare such Tax Returns. The Transaction Tax Deductions shall be included on the Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Returns. The Purchaser shall prepare and file, or caused to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns other than Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Returns filed or required to be filed after the Closing by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Any such Tax Return prepared and filed after the Closing Date for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return, shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return. The Purchaser shall allow the Representative to review, comment upon and consent to any Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return, and shall provide a draft of any such Tax Return that shows a material amount for which the Stockholders or the Optionholders could be liable under this Agreement or that is a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return for the Representative’s review as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in no event less than thirty (30) days, prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return.

(b) With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Purchaser shall not (i) make any elections, (ii) file (or cause or permit any other Person to file) any amended Tax Return, (iii) extend any statute of limitations, or (iv) voluntarily approach any taxing authority with respect to Taxes relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, upon the Representative’s request and at its expense, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause any other Person, to initiate a claim for refund or amend any Tax Return.

12.02 Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by the Purchaser or the Company and its Subsidiaries, and any amounts credited against Taxes to which the

- 57 -

Purchaser or the Company and its Subsidiaries become entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Stockholders and the Optionholders, and the Purchaser shall pay over to the Representative for the benefit of the Stockholders and the Optionholders any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of any Taxes of the Purchaser, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to such refund or credit and net of any applicable payroll withholding) within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

12.03 Allocation of Certain Taxes. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation is permitted, but not required, under applicable foreign, state or local income Tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which Target or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

12.04 Transfer Taxes. At the Closing or, if due thereafter, promptly when due, all gross receipts, transfer Taxes, gains Taxes, real property transfer Taxes, sales Taxes, use Taxes, excise Taxes, stamp Taxes, conveyance Taxes and any other similar Taxes applicable to, arising out of or imposed upon the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Stockholders. The Purchaser shall prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes, and the Representative shall cooperate with the Purchaser in the preparation of such Tax Returns.

12.05 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) The Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), on the other hand, and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in (i) the preparation of all Tax Returns for any Tax periods and (ii) the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, for which one (1) party could reasonably require the assistance of the other party in obtaining any necessary information. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing prior years’ Tax Returns of the Company or its Subsidiaries or return preparation packages illustrating previous reporting practices or containing historical information relevant to the preparation of such Tax Returns, and furnishing such other information within such party’s possession requested by the other party as is relevant to the preparation of the Tax Returns of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation and information also shall include making employees and representatives available for discussion of such Tax matters and promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Body which relate to the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any Subsidiary, and providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns of

- 58 -

the Company or its Subsidiaries, together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Governmental Body and records concerning the ownership and tax basis of property, which the requested party may possess. The Purchaser and the Representative further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax authority or any other Person to take any other action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on any party (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(b) At its election, the Representative shall control any Tax Proceeding for which the Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries may be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.01 or this Agreement or that is with respect to a period with respect to which a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return was or should have been filed. The Purchaser shall control all other Tax Proceedings with respect to the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any Subsidiary. Other than with respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to a period with respect to which a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return was or should have been filed, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be in the Representative’s sole control, the Representative shall consult with the Purchaser regarding any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any Subsidiary, provide the Purchaser with information and documents related thereto, permit the Purchaser or its representative to attend any such Tax Proceeding, and not settle any such issue without the consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that the Representative does not elect to control a Tax Proceeding for which the Purchaser could assert a claim pursuant to Section 11.01 or this Agreement, the Purchaser shall consult with the Representative regarding any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any Subsidiary that includes any item the adjustment of which would cause any Stockholder or Optionholder to become obligated to make any payment pursuant to Section 11.01 or this Agreement, provide the Representative with information and documents related thereto, permit the Representative or its representative to attend any such Tax Proceeding, and not settle any such issue without the consent of the Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) If the Purchaser elects to file an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the Merger, the Stockholders covenant and agree to join with the Purchaser as necessary to make an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable election under state, local or foreign law) (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”), to execute any and all documents, take all actions, and file such forms (including IRS Form 8023) as necessary to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders a draft of an allocation of the Merger Consideration among the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with Sections 1060 and 338 of the Code for the Stockholders’ review and consent. The Purchaser and the Stockholders shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If the Purchaser and the Stockholders are not able to resolve any such disputed items, then the Purchaser and the Stockholders shall submit the disputed items to the Valuation Firm for its determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.03 hereof and the costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be borne solely by the Stockholders, unless the Valuation Firm concludes that Purchaser’s allocation was not in accordance with Sections 1060 and 338 of the Code, in which case Purchaser shall bear

- 59 -

the costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm. (i) The Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders, if and when applicable, revised copies of the agreed allocation to reflect any matters in the allocation that need updating and (ii) for Tax purposes, the Purchaser, the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates shall report such allocation in a manner consistent with this Section 12.05(b) (including, without limitation, on IRS Form 8883 or IRS Form 8594) and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent with such allocation for any Tax purpose, including in any audit, examination or other proceeding relating to Taxes.

(d) If the Purchaser elects to file an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, the Purchaser shall pay each individual Stockholder the amount of additional consideration necessary to cause such Stockholder’s after-Tax net proceeds from the Merger with the Section 338(h)(10) Election (including any amounts paid under this Section 12.05(c)) to be equal to the after-Tax net proceeds that such Stockholder would have received had the Section 338(h)(10) Election not been made, taking into account all appropriate state, federal and local Tax implications (all such payments together, the “Tax Adjustment”). To facilitate such election, at the Closing, Representative shall deliver to a designated escrow agent the Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 or successor form and any similar forms under applicable Law (each a “Form 8023”) which Forms 8023 shall have been duly executed by each Stockholder. Any Forms 8023 held by the escrow agent shall be released by such escrow agent to the Purchaser at the time that the amount of the Tax Adjustment made under this Section 12.05(d) is paid to the relevant Stockholders The Purchaser shall calculate the Tax Adjustment, subject to the Representative’s review and consent. The calculation of the Tax Adjustment shall be based on each of the Stockholders being a resident of the State of California, and being subject to the highest applicable marginal California tax rate and the highest applicable marginal federal tax rate.

(e) If any Tax authority determines or proposes to determine that the Company did not have a valid election in effect under Section 1362(a) of the Code to be treated as an S corporation as of the Closing Date (without regard to the transfer of Shares under this Agreement), the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall cooperate with the Purchaser, and use commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain from the IRS a waiver of the termination and reinstatement of such S corporation status through the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1362(f) (or any similar relief available with respect to state and local income taxation). In the event of such a challenge to the S status of the Company, the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall promptly take all steps pursuant to Section 1362(f)(3) of the Code, and shall make such adjustments as may be required by the IRS pursuant to Section 1362(f)(4) as a condition of obtaining such waiver and reinstatement of S corporation status through the Closing Date (and any similar adjustments required under analogous state and local tax provisions). The Stockholders shall bear the entire expense of procuring the waiver and reinstatement of the S status of the Company described above, including the legal, accounting and Tax costs of taking such steps and of making such adjustments as may be required.

12.06 Post-Closing Transactions Not in the Ordinary Course. The Purchaser agrees to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Purchaser’s purchase of the Company Stock as occurring on the day following the Closing Date to the extent permitted by Law.

- 60 -

12.07 No Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter. The Purchaser shall not take any action or cause any action to be taken with respect to the Company or the Surviving Corporation subsequent to the Closing that would cause the transactions contemplated hereby to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2001-16, 2001 1 C.B. 730, and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-20 I.R.B. 2008 6 (January 17, 2008), and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008-111 I.R.B. 1299 (December 1, 2008).

12.08 Valuation Firm. Any dispute as to any matter covered by this Article XII shall be resolved by the Valuation Firm, and the past practices of the Company shall be the Valuation Firm’s standard for resolution of any such dispute wherever applicable. The fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm in respect of resolution of any such dispute shall be borne equally by the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), on the one hand, and the Surviving Corporation, on the other hand.

ARTICLE XIII

No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or, prior to the Closing, any other announcement or communication (other than by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, employees and agents in the ordinary course of business) to the employees, customers, suppliers or other business relations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be issued or made without the joint approval of the Purchaser and the Representative, unless required by Law (in the reasonable opinion of counsel) in which case the Purchaser and the Representative shall have the right to review and comment on such press release or announcement prior to publication; provided, that the Representative shall be entitled to communicate with its and its Affiliates’ investors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall pay any and all expenses relating to surveys, title insurance and environmental due diligence, including any “Phase I” environmental review;

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by either the Purchaser or the Company without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that each of the Purchaser, the Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation may assign their respective rights under this Agreement to their lenders as collateral security for their obligations under any of their secured debt financing arrangements.

13.05 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

- 63 -

13.06 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof. In the event a subject matter is addressed in more than one (1) representation and warranty in Article V, the Purchaser and the Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely only on the most specific representation and warranty addressing such matter. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules, or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto as whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Representative nor any of its Non-Recourse Parties shall incur any liability to any Stockholder or Optionholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of the Representative or any of its Non-Recourse Parties for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of their duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting Fraud. The Representative and its Non-Recourse Parties shall have no liability in respect of any action, claim or proceeding brought against any such Person by any Stockholder or Optionholder, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, if any such Person took or omitted taking any action in good faith.

(d) If the Representative pays or causes to be paid any amounts (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) in connection with any obligation or liability of a Stockholder or Optionholder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment of Allocable Amount contemplated by Section 3.03 or the indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Article XI), any such payments and the reasonable expenses of the Representative incurred in administering or defending the underlying dispute or claim may be reimbursed, when and as incurred, from the Representative Holdback Amount (and, if not so reimbursed from the Representative Holdback Amount, the Representative shall be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed by each Stockholder and Optionholder severally (based on each Stockholder’s and Optionholder’s Indemnity Allocation Percentage), and not jointly, for such amount(s)).

- 67 -

portion of the Merger Consideration) to one or more Stockholders or Optionholders at any time after the date hereof, which such distribution(s) of funds may be different (i.e., with respect to amount, timing, conditionality or otherwise) for each Stockholder and Optionholder. Upon full reimbursement of all expenses, costs, obligations or liabilities incurred by the Representative in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Representative shall distribute, or caused to be distributed, all remaining funds held by it on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders to the Stockholders and Optionholders; provided, that to ensure compliance with Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv), the Optionholders shall not be entitled to receive any payment, and no payment shall be made to the Optionholders, in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby later than the date which is five (5) years after the Closing Date (it being understood that the Stockholders may receive payments after the date which is five (5) years after the Closing Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts that, if paid prior to the date which is five (5) years after the Closing Date, would have been paid to the Optionholders).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Representative and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any Loss to any Stockholder or Optionholder for any action taken or not taken by the Representative or for any act or omission taken or not taken in reliance upon the actions taken or not taken or decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by the Purchaser or the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation.
