(a) Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to sell, transfer, assign, convey or deliver any asset, property or right to Acquisition Sub (provided, that this Section 2.6(a) shall not affect whether any asset, property or right shall be deemed to be an Acquired Asset for any other purpose under this Agreement) or for Acquisition Sub and its respective successors and assigns to assume any Assumed Liability which by its terms or by Law is not transferable or nonassignable, as applicable, without the consent or waiver of a third party or is cancelable by a third party in the event of such a transfer or assignment without the consent or waiver of such third party, in each case unless and until such consent or waiver shall have been obtained (collectively, “Non-Assignable Assets”).

(b) Each Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent or waiver that is required for such Seller and its Subsidiaries to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver the Acquired Assets to Acquisition Sub pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event any such consent or waiver cannot be obtained prior to Closing, (i) the Non-Assignable Assets subject thereto and affected thereby shall be held, as of and from the Closing, by such Seller in trust for the benefit of Acquisition Sub, and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for Acquisition Sub’s account, (ii) Acquisition Sub shall pay, perform or otherwise discharge (in accordance with the respective terms and subject to the respective conditions thereof, and in the name of Seller) all of the covenants and obligations of such Seller incurred after the Closing with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset, (iii) such Seller shall take or cause to be taken at its own expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Buyer may reasonably request so as to provide Acquisition Sub with the benefits of such Non-Assignable Assets and to effect the collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under such Non-Assignable Assets, and promptly pay over to Acquisition Sub all money or other consideration received by it in respect of such Non-Assignable Assets, and (iv) Buyer and such Seller shall mutually cooperate to provide any other alternative arrangements as may be reasonably required to implement the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

(c) As of and from the Closing Date, each Seller authorizes (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to authorize) Acquisition Sub, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Assets, at Acquisition Sub’s expense, to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of such Seller and its Subsidiaries under the Non-Assignable Assets.

2.7 Shared Contracts.

(a) Schedule 2.7(a) sets forth a list of all Shared Contracts, indicating which of such Shared Contracts may be assigned in part, pursuant to its terms, without the consent of the counterparty thereto or other conditions, including the payment of a transfer or other fee (the “Assignable Shared Contracts”). Within seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, Buyer will provide the Sellers with written notice of those Assignable Shared Contracts that Buyer desires Acquisition Sub to assume in part. Each such Assignable Shared Contract for which Buyer provides written notice of its desire to assume in part shall thereafter be deemed to be a Transferred Contract hereunder with respect to the portion thereof assumed by Acquisition Sub and the Seller party to such contract shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to, assign such assumed portion to Acquisition Sub as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of such Assignable Shared Contract.

-20-

(b) With respect to each Shared Contract identified on Schedule 2.7(a) that is not an Assignable Shared Contract (the “Non-Assignable Shared Contracts”), Buyer will also, within seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, provide the Sellers with written notice of those Non-Assignable Shared Contracts that Buyer desires Acquisition Sub to assume in part. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing Date to cause the counterparty to each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to consent to the partial assignment of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to Acquisition Sub, or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Acquisition Sub on substantially the same terms as exist under the applicable Shared Contract, in each case as of the Closing. Each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the parties have received consent to the partial assignment shall thereafter be deemed to be a Transferred Contract hereunder to the extent of the assigned portion and the Seller party to such contract shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to, partially assign to Acquisition Sub as of the Closing such Contract in accordance with its terms. The Sellers shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, take any action to terminate prior to its expiration any Non-Assignable Shared Contract that is a Material Contract and which has been identified by Buyer as one it desires to assume pursuant to this subsection (b) (and for which an alternative, reasonably acceptable to Buyer, to such contract has not already been implemented by the Parties), or knowingly take any action or fail to take any action that would permit the other party to any such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to terminate prior to its expiration such Shared Contract, in each case, prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (and provided that the foregoing shall not obligate a Seller or a Subsidiary to renew a contract after its then current term or prohibit it from terminating such contract for material breach, bankruptcy of the counterparty or other conditions of force majeure; provided, however, a Seller or a Subsidiary shall notify Buyer in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to any such expiration or termination and the Parties will reasonably and in good faith discuss what course of action best accommodates the interests of the Parties with respect to such contracts in light of the expiration or proposed termination, including the interest of Buyer in continuing to operate the Business, provided that during such period the Sellers shall not permit such Contract to lapse or terminate absent such agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall not be required to partially assign to Acquisition Sub at Closing any of the Non-Assignable Shared Contracts for which consent has not been obtained.

(c) With respect to each Non-Assignable Shared Contract for which the arrangements described in Section 2.7(b) were not entered into prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers agree to continue to use their commercially reasonable efforts from and after the Closing Date to cause the counterparty to each such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to consent to the partial assignment of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract to Acquisition Sub, or to otherwise enter into a new Contract with Acquisition Sub or one or more of its Subsidiaries on substantially the same terms as exist under the applicable Shared Contract. Until any such consent or new Contract is obtained the Sellers and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, in any lawful and reasonable arrangement, to the extent such cooperation would not result in a breach of the terms of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract, and not prohibited under applicable law, which will provide Acquisition Sub the obligations and benefits of any such Non-Assignable Shared Contract with respect to the Business, including subcontracting, licensing, sublicensing, leasing or subleasing to Buyer and its Subsidiaries any or all of such Seller’s and its Subsidiaries’ rights and obligations with respect to such Non-Assignable Shared Contract with respect to the Business. In any such arrangement, Acquisition Sub will (i) bear the sole responsibility for completion of the work or provision of goods and services, (ii) bear all Taxes with respect thereto or arising therefrom to the extent attributable to any period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date, (iii) be solely entitled to all benefits thereof, economic or otherwise, (iv) be solely responsible for any warranty or breach thereof, any repurchase, indemnity and service obligations thereof, and (v) promptly reimburse the reasonable costs and expenses of the Sellers and their Affiliates related thereto; provided, however, that Acquisition Sub’s obligations under clauses (i) through (v) shall be limited to that portion of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract that Buyer has notified the Sellers pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.7(b) that it desires to assume in part. If and when such consents or approvals are obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the partial assignment of such Non-Assignable Shared Contract will be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Transfer and delivery of the Transferred Technology shall include physical or electronic delivery of all Transferred Technology in the form in which it exists, including delivery or production of Documentation Deliverables and other appropriate documentation thereof as reasonably requested by Buyer to facilitate the transfer and operation of the Business.

Other than the Shared Technology, the Sellers shall not retain in its possession or control any Transferred Tangible Property or Transferred Technology or any copy thereof except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (including in Section 2.5(b)). Except as provided in Sections 4.2, 8.5, and 11.1 (and prior to the Closing Section 7.1), nothing in this Agreement creates any restriction on the use of Shared Technology, Shared Contracts, data, any data sources or separate instances of the Customer DB or the Mortgage DB, or any marketing techniques, strategies, campaigns, know-how, information and materials used or held for use in the retained businesses, by the Sellers or their Affiliates or successors or assigns for any purpose.

2.9 Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a counterparty to any Transferred Contract or Shared Contract conditions its grant of a consent, waiver, approval or novation to the transfer (or in the case of Shared Contracts, the apportionment or division) of such Transferred Contract or Shared Contract from Sellers or their Subsidiaries to Buyer upon the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration, such costs paid to such counterparty shall be borne equally by Buyer on one hand and the Sellers on the other; provided, however, that (a) the first One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of such costs to be borne by the Sellers shall be delivered to Buyer from the Escrow Fund, (b) that the Representative shall, within one (1) Business Day of the Sellers’ incurrence of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of such costs under this Section 2.9, deliver to the Escrow Agent an Escrow Claim Acknowledgement (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of such costs, and (c) any such costs to be borne by the Sellers in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) shall be borne by the Sellers.

The purchase price for the Acquired Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be (i) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) plus the Cash Consideration, (iii) plus the Stock Consideration, and (iv) plus the Additional Consideration, each deliverable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Additional Consideration.

(i) If the date that the Seller Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”) is more than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date and the Effective Date Price is less than Closing Date Price, then Buyer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Sellers and/or the Parent Holders (as provided in an Allocation Letter), by and on behalf of Acquisition Sub, the Additional Consideration Amount in the form and manner as set forth in this Section 3.1(b).

(ii) If Buyer is obligated to deliver or pay any Additional Consideration, Buyer shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Additional Consideration Amount used to determine the Additional Consideration shall consist of cash, shares of Buyer Common Stock or some combination thereof and shall thereafter deliver a written notice (a “Determination Notice”), within one (1) Business Day, or if any consent is required from a lender of Buyer in connection with Buyer’s payment of the Additional Cash Consideration, if any, as promplty as practicable, after the Effective Date, to the Representative setting forth the relative allocation (in dollars) of the Additional Consideration Amount between cash and Buyer Common Stock

Any amount of the Additional Consideration Amount that Buyer determines to issue in Buyer Common Stock (as expressed in dollars on the Determination Notice) is referred to herein as the “Additional Stock Consideration Value.” The portion of the Additional Consideration Amount to be issued as Buyer Common Stock shall equal the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (A) the Additional Stock Consideration Value by (B) the Effective Date Price (such aggregate number of shares, as adjusted, the “Additional Stock Consideration”). The portion of the Additional Consideration Amount to be paid in cash shall equal (i) the Additional Consideration Amount minus (ii) the Additional Stock Consideration Value, if any (such cash amount, the “Additional Cash Consideration”).

(iii) Each Seller agrees that an amount of Additional Stock Consideration equal to ten percent (10%) of the value of the Additional Consideration (the “Additional Escrow Consideration”) shall be withheld from the Additional Consideration and become part of the Escrow Fund without any further action by any of the Sellers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of the Additional Stock Consideration is less than ten percent (10%) of the value of the Additional Consideration, the Sellers and/or Parent Holders shall deposit additional shares of Buyer Common Stock received under this Agreement into the Escrow Fund with a value (calculated with reference to the Effective Date Price) equal to any shortfall between the Additional Escrow Consideration and the Additional Stock Consideration.

(iv) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, within three (3) Business Days following the delivery of the Determination Notice, Buyer shall (A) instruct its transfer agent to deliver the portion of the Additional Consideration Amount consisting of Buyer Common Stock by the delivery of a certificate representing the Additional Stock Consideration (minus any amount withheld as part of the Additional Escrow Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii)), if any, issued in the name of the Sellers which shall be allocated in accordance with the second sentence of Section 10.3 (and promptly thereafter Buyer shall file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or other appropriate form) (the “Additional Registration Statement”) or amend the Seller Registration Statement to register the resale to the public by the Sellers and the Parent Holders, if applicable, of all shares representing such Additional Stock Consideration; provided that the provisions of Article 14 (other than the first sentence of Section 14.1(a)) shall apply with regard to the Additional Registration Statement in the same manner as such provisions apply with regard to the Seller Registration Statement) and (B) deliver a cash payment in immediately available funds in the amount of the Additional Cash Consideration, if any, to one or more accounts designated in writing by Parent prior to the Closing which shall be allocated in accordance with the second sentence of Section 10.3.

-24-

“accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and (ii) a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a) of the Code, the Representative shall provide written instructions signed by the Sellers and such Parent Holder (a “Allocation Letter”) to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to such delivery, and the Allocation Letter shall (i) specify such portion of the Stock Consideration or the Additional Stock Consideration to be delivered to such Parent Holder and such other information reasonably requested by Buyer, and (ii) include a representation that such Parent Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and a covenant that such Parent Holder shall submit to Buyer such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.

5.5 Financial Statements.

(a) PES has made available to Buyer the following financial statements and notes related to the Business (collectively, the “Financial Statements”): the year-end balance sheets of PES as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the interim balance sheet of PES as of May 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ (net deficit) capital, and cash flows for the periods then ended.

(b) The Books and Records and accounts of each Seller and its Subsidiaries accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions in and dispositions of the assets used in or held for use in the operation of the Business. The systems of internal accounting controls maintained by each Seller and its Subsidiaries that are used in, or held for use in, the operation of the Business are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries (including any directors, managers or executive officers of such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) nor such Seller’s independent accountants has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that are used in, or held for use in, the operation of the Business, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves the management of such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any employees of such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries who have a role in the preparation of financial statements of the Business or the internal accounting controls utilized by such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that are used in, or held for use in, for the operation of the Business, or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing, in each case other than has been fully and finally resolved.

(c) No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has Liabilities that arise from the operation or conduct of, or are otherwise allocated to, the Business, whether or not required to be reflected in financial statements in accordance with GAAP, except liabilities which individually or in the aggregate (i) have been reflected in the Balance Sheet or disclosed in the notes thereto (to the extent of such reflection or disclosure), (ii) have arisen in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices since the Reference Date and are not material, or (iii) are executory obligations under Transferred Contracts arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (and not as a result of breach or default thereunder).

5.6 Absence of Changes. Since the Reference Date:

(a) there has not occurred a Business Material Adverse Effect or any change, fact, circumstance, condition, event or effect, or combination of changes, facts, circumstances, conditions, events, or effects, that individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect;

(b) there has not been any material Loss, damage or destruction to, or any material interruption in the use of, any of the assets of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries used in, held for use in, the operation of the Business (whether or not covered by insurance); and

(c) no Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action that would be prohibited by the terms of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 if proposed to be taken after the date of this Agreement.

5.7 Taxes.

All U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act amounts, Federal Unemployment Tax Act amounts, and other Taxes required to be paid or withheld with respect to employees and other third parties relating to the Acquired Assets or the Business have been timely paid or withheld (and withheld amounts have been timely paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority). As of the Reference Date, there were no material liabilities for unpaid Taxes concerning or attributable to the Acquired Assets or the Business that had not been accrued or reserved on the Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP, and since the Reference Date no material liability has been incurred for such Taxes other than in the ordinary course of business). There are no Liens for Taxes upon the Acquired Assets, except for Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable. To Sellers’ Knowledge, there is not any reasonable basis for the assertion of any claim relating or attributable to Taxes which, if adversely determined, would result in any Lien on the Acquired Assets or otherwise adversely affect the use or ownership by Buyer or its Affiliates of the Acquired Assets or their operation of the Business, or for which Buyer or its Affiliates could become liable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) There is no outstanding, assessed, or to Sellers’ Knowledge proposed deficiency for Taxes concerning or attributable to the Business or the Acquired Assets, nor has any outstanding waiver of any statute of limitations on or extension of the period for the assessment or collection of any Tax concerning or attributable to the Business or the Acquired Assets been executed by a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or requested of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.

No adjustment relating to any Tax Return or Taxes concerning or attributable to the Business or the Acquired Assets has been proposed in writing by any Taxing Authority and received by a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. No written claim has ever been received by a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that the Acquired Assets or the Business are or may be subject to taxation in a jurisdiction in which Tax Returns are not filed with respect thereto.

(e) No payment or benefit which will or may be made by Seller or its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Business Employee or any other “disqualified individual” (as defined in Code Section 280G and the regulations thereunder) will be characterized as a “parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

(f) Section 5.7(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of each Contract or plan of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with a Business Employee that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined for purposes of Code Section 409A(d)(1)) and each such Contract or plan is, or has been, in documentary and operational compliance with Code Section 409A and the applicable guidance issued thereunder.

5.8 Personal Property. Except for Excluded Assets listed on Schedule 2.2, Section 5.8 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of: (i) all material office equipment owned by any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and used in, or held for use in, the operation of the Business, as of the date of

Each Seller has made available to Buyer a true and correct copy of each lease, sublease, amendment, extension, renewal, guaranty, license, concession or other agreement (collectively, the “Leases”) with respect to each such Leased Real Property, and in the case of any oral Lease, a written summary of the material terms of such Lease. With respect to each of the Leases, (i) the Leases constitute all written and oral agreements of any kind for the leasing, rental, use or occupancy of the Leased Real Property to which a Seller is a party or otherwise bound, (ii) a Seller or its Subsidiary, as applicable, holds a good and valid leasehold interest in the Leased Real Property free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, and (iii) no Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has assigned, transferred, sublet, or granted any person the right to use or occupy the Leased Real Property or granted any other security interest in such Lease or any interest therein.

(c) Each Lease is a valid and binding agreement of a Seller or its Subsidiaries and is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. To Sellers’ Knowledge, no Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has violated or breached in any material respect, and no Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has committed any material default under, any Lease, which remains uncured, and, to the Knowledge of the Sellers, no other Person has violated or breached in any material respect, or committed any material default under, any Lease which remains uncured. To the Knowledge of the Sellers, no event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time) will, or could reasonably be expected to: (i) result in a material violation or material breach of any of the provisions of any Lease, (ii) give any Person the right to declare a default, (iii) give any Person the right to accelerate the maturity or performance of any Lease, or (iv) give any Person the right to cancel, terminate or modify any Lease. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice regarding any actual or possible material violation or material breach of, or material default under, any Lease, which remains uncured. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any of its respective material rights under Lease. If the applicable lessor consents are obtained, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sellers does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or materially impair the rights of any of the Sellers or its Subsidiaries or alter the rights or obligations of the sublessor, lessor or licensor under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any Leases, or otherwise adversely affect the continued use and possession of the Leased Real Property for the conduct of business as presently conducted.

(d) The Leased Real Property is in good operating condition and repair and is suitable for the operation of the Business as presently conducted therein. Neither the operation of any Seller or any of its Subsidiaries on the Leased Real Property nor, to the Sellers’ Knowledge, such Leased Real Property, violate any Law relating to such property or operations thereon. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries could be required to expend more than $10,000 in causing any Leased Real Property to comply with the surrender conditions set

-34-

forth in the applicable Lease. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is party to any agreement or subject to any claim that may require the payment of any real estate brokerage commissions, and no such commission is owed with respect to any of the Leased Real Property. A Seller or its Subsidiary currently occupies all of the Leased Real Property for the operation of the Business, and there are no other parties or employees occupying, or with a right to occupy, the Leased Real Property. The Sellers and each of its Subsidiaries has performed all of its obligations under any termination agreements pursuant to which it has terminated any leases of Real Property that are no longer in effect and has no continuing liability with respect to such terminated Real Property leases.

5.10 Environmental Matters.

(a) Each Seller and its Subsidiaries are, and have been, in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws that are applicable to the Business, any of the Acquired Assets or any Leased Real Property. No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that will (with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result in a violation by a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of, or a failure on the part of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with, any Environmental Law that is applicable to the Business, any of the Acquired Assets or any Leased Real Property.

(b) Except in compliance with Environmental Laws and in a manner that would not subject a Seller or any Subsidiary to Liability, no Hazardous Materials are present on any Business Facility currently owned, operated, occupied, controlled or leased by a Seller or any Subsidiary or were present on any other Business Facility at the time it ceased to be owned, operated, occupied, controlled or leased by a Seller or any of its Subsidiary.

(c) Section 5.10(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule accurately describes all of the Environmental Permits currently held by any Seller and its Subsidiaries and the listed Environmental Permits are all of the Environmental Permits necessary for the continued conduct of the Business as currently conducted. All such Environmental Permits are valid and in full force and effect. Each Seller and its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all covenants and conditions of all such Environmental Permits. To Sellers’ Knowledge, no circumstances exist which could cause any Environmental Permit to be revoked, modified, or rendered non-renewable upon payment of the permit fee.

(d) No Action is pending, or to the Knowledge of the Sellers, threatened against any Seller, any Subsidiary or any Leased Real Property, that relates to any Environmental Law, Environmental Permit or Hazardous Materials in connection with the Sellers’ conduct of the Business.

(e) There is no fact, circumstance, condition or activity which could result in any environmental Liability which could reasonably be expected to result in a Business Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Leases, neither any Seller nor any Subsidiary has entered into any agreement that may require it to guarantee, reimburse, pledge, defend, hold harmless or indemnify any other party with respect to Liabilities arising out of Environmental Laws or the Hazardous Materials related activities of a Seller or any Subsidiary in connection with the conduct of the Business.

(f) The Sellers have made available to Buyer true and complete copies of all environmental assessments and audits in the possession or control of the Sellers and its Subsidiaries, and any correspondence and documentation relating to compliance or non-compliance with Environmental Laws in the possession or control of the Seller or its Subsidiaries in each case in connection with the conduct of the Business.

(c) No Encumbrances. A Seller or one of its Subsidiaries is the sole owner of all Transferred IPR and the Licensed IPR.

No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any representation or warranties, granted any indemnities, or made any other commitments with respect to the Transferred IPR or Products other than those set forth in such Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ form agreements, which forms have been provided to Buyer. Each Seller has all rights necessary to transfer the Transferred Technology, including data, without violating any Laws (including any Laws relating to privacy or use of customer data) or contractual obligations of such Seller, and upon the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to use the Transferred Technology substantially in the manner in which it was used in the Business prior to the Closing without violating any Laws (including any Laws relating to privacy or use of User Data) or contractual obligations of such Seller.

(d) No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights. The operation of the Business by any Seller or its Subsidiaries, and the Acquired Assets (i) have not infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated or constituted the unauthorized use of, and as currently conducted do not, nor do the Transferred Technology (in the form and manner in which it exists and is used in the Business at Closing) infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate or constitute the unauthorized use of, any Intellectual Property Rights owned by any Person, and such conduct will not constitute infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person when conducted or used by Buyer in substantially the same manner, and (ii) have not constituted and do not constitute unfair competition or trade practices under applicable Laws. No Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any Person (i) claiming the operation of the Business, or any Acquired Assets infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates or constitutes the unauthorized use of any Intellectual Property Rights of any Person or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the Laws of any jurisdiction (nor does any Seller have Knowledge of any basis therefor) or (ii) demanding or offering to license to a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries any Intellectual Property Rights in connection with the Business in order to avoid an infringement claim.

(e) No Third Party Infringement of Seller IPR. To the Knowledge of the Sellers, no Person is infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating or engaged in the unauthorized use of any item of Transferred IPR.

8.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Buyer and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the existence of this Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Schedule) and the other Transaction Agreements, and the terms and conditions hereof and thereof, shall constitute “Confidential Information” under and within the meaning of the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2013, by and between Buyer and PES (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) except with respect to and subject to Buyer’s obligation to comply with applicable U.S. Securities Laws and the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market.

(b) After the Closing (and, with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at all times after the Closing), unless required by Law or Order to disclose any Business Confidential Information or as explicitly permitted by Section 8.7, each Seller agrees not to use or disclose at any time (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates not to use or disclose at any time) any Business Confidential Information, provided, subject to Section 11.1, that the forgoing shall not limit the Sellers or their Affiliates or successors or assigns from continuing to use any Shared Technology or any other Technology that is not solely used in the Business, in the continuation of their retained businesses. In the event a Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates are required by Law or Order to disclose any Business Confidential Information, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and such Seller and its controlled Affiliates shall cooperate with Buyer to preserve the confidentiality of such information consistent with such applicable Law or Order. For all purposes of and under this Agreement and subject to the remainder of this clause, the term “Business Confidential Information” shall mean all information to the extent solely related to the Business (i) of a confidential or proprietary nature (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential”), or (ii) which is information that a reasonable person would, in light of the nature of the information, consider to be confidential and proprietary to the Business, including the following: (A) internal business and financial information (including information relating to strategic and staffing plans and practices, business, finances, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans and practices, cost, rate and pricing structures, and accounting and business methods), (B) identities of, individual requirements of, specific contractual arrangements with, and information about, the Business and its suppliers, customers, independent contractors, or other business relations and their confidential information, (C) trade secrets, proprietary know-how, compilations of data and analyses, techniques, systems, formulae, recipes, research, records, reports, manuals, documentation, models, data, and

-51-

databases relating thereto, and (D) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable). Nothing in this Section 8.5(b) is intended to prevent a Seller or any Affiliate from exercising any of its rights under Article 4, or fulfilling its obligations under the Transition Services Agreement, provided that such Seller protects the confidentiality of Business Confidential Information as required by this Section 8.5(b) and complies with Section 11.1. Business Confidential Information does not include information that is or later becomes publicly known or known in the trade or industry other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 8.5.

8.6 Exclusivity. Each Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates, representatives, officers, employees, directors, managers, and agents not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, entertain, encourage, or accept the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer and its Affiliates) relating to the direct or indirect acquisition of the Business or any portion of the Acquired Assets, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations (and as of the date of this Agreement, each Seller shall immediately cease any discussions or negotiations that are ongoing) regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any third party to do or seek any of the foregoing, or (c) furnish any confidential information regarding the Business or the Acquired Assets to any third party. Each Seller will notify Buyer promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, if any third party makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing (including the terms thereof and the identity of such third party subject to applicable Law). Each Seller shall be deemed to have breached the terms of this Section 8.6 if any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Affiliates, representatives, officers, employees, directors, managers, or agents takes any action, whether in his or her capacity as such or in any other capacity, that is prohibited by this Section 8.6.

8.7 Public Statements. Except as required by Law, the Sellers shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly make or issue any statement or other communication to the public or any third party regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements, or the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor, or any disputes or arbitration proceedings hereunder or thereunder.

8.8 Record Retention. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates, that for a period of not less than six (6) years following the Closing Date, it shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the Books and Records relating to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing. Each Party shall have the right to destroy all or part of such Books and Records after the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date or, at an earlier time by giving each other Party twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of such intended disposition and by offering to deliver to the other party, at the other Party’s expense, custody of such Books and Records as such first party may intend to destroy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately after the Closing (or at such later time as required under the terms and provisions of the Transition Services Agreement), the Sellers shall deliver to Acquisition Sub or destroy copies of Transferred Technology in the Sellers’ possession that are in addition to copies delivered to Acquisition Sub as part of the Closing, whether such copies are in paper form, on computer media or stored in another form; provided, however, that (a) the Sellers and their Subsidiaries are entitled to possess such copies to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement, (b) the Sellers and their Subsidiaries may retain and use copies of financial books and records relating to the Business, and (c) Sellers and their Subsidiaries may also retain any copies of Transferred Technology that reside on back-up, archival or disaster recovery systems where such copies are co-mingled with other non-transferred property or kept in such a manner that it is burdensome to locate, separate or extract such copies without undue expense or effort, until they are destroyed in accordance with the applicable retention and purge policies, provided such copies are not used for production purposes.

8.9 Bulk Sales. It will not be practicable to comply or to attempt to comply with the procedures of the Uniform Commercial Code or other bulk sales laws or similar laws of the jurisdiction in which the Acquired Assets to be conveyed hereby are situated or of any other jurisdictions which may be asserted to be applicable to the transaction contemplated hereunder, and the Parties believe that it is not clear that any such laws are

-52-

applicable to such transaction. Accordingly, to induce Buyer to waive any requirement for compliance on the part of the Sellers with the procedures of any such laws, the Sellers hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties, in accordance with the provisions of Article 13, from and against, and to compensate and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties, in accordance with the provisions of Article 13, for, any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from the failure of the Sellers to comply with or perform any actions in connection with the provisions of any such law of any states or jurisdictions applicable to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Promptly following the Closing, Buyer shall recommend to its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) that the Person listed on Schedule 8.11 (the “Nominee”) be invited to join Buyer’s board of directors (the “Buyer Board”). If the Nominating Committee recommends to the Buyer Board that the Nominee be appointed to the Buyer Board, the Buyer Board shall consider such recommendation. If the Nominee shall be invited to join the Buyer Board, and upon the Nominee’s acceptance of such invitation, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Buyer Board to, take all necessary actions to appoint the Nominee as a member of the Buyer Board.

8.12 Sale of Shares. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable to the Sellers in the Transactions shall constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and will be issued in a private placement transaction in reliance upon the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The certificates evidencing the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued in the Transactions shall bear appropriate legends to identify such privately placed shares as being “restricted securities” under the Securities Act to comply with state and federal securities laws and, if applicable, to notice the restrictions on transfer of such shares.

8.13 Exclusive Commercial Relationship.

(a) Each Seller shall take the actions and have the obligations as set forth on Schedule 8.13. In the event that the Sellers or their Affiliates do not satisfy the requirements contemplated by Schedule 8.13(f), then the Sellers shall as promptly as practicable after the end of the time period contemplated in Schedule 8.13(f), and in any event within thirty (30) days after the end of such period, deliver and/or pay to Buyer Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Commercial Fee Amount”) by (i) delivery of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the Commercial Fee Amount divided by the Escrow Price (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), and (ii) to the extent that the Parent Holders do not own Buyer Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the entire Commercial Fee Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such extent to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer.

(b) In the event that Buyer shall receive the Commercial Fee Amount, the receipt of such Commercial Fee Amount shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for all Losses incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.1(d)

-53-

(solely as Section 5.1(d) relates to this Section 8.13 and the corresponding actions and obligations on Schedule 8.13) and Section 5.3(b), and (ii) any breach of this Section 8.13 (and the corresponding actions and obligations on Schedule 8.13 only) (collectively, the “Excluded 8.13 Items”) and, except for claims arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, Buyer shall not be entitled to bring or maintain any Action or Indemnification Claim arising under the Excluded 8.13 Items.

(c) In the event that the Sellers or their Affiliates do satisfy the requirements contemplated by Schedule 8.13(f), then from the time the requirements contemplated by Schedule 8.13(f) are satisfied Buyer and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification under Article 13 with respect to any non-fulfillment or breach by Sellers of this Section 8.13 (and the corresponding actions and obligations on Schedule 8.13), provided, however, that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to bring or maintain any Action or Indemnification Claim in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.1(d) (solely as Section 5.1(d) relates to this Section 8.13 and the corresponding actions on Schedule 8.13 only) and Section 5.3(b).

8.14 Membership Interest Transfer Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms, including representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, and closing conditions, of an agreement providing for the transfer (for no additional consideration) of all of the membership interests in PEF to Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer (as directed by Buyer) on commercially reasonable terms mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Sellers (the “MITA”), which MITA, if executed, shall be deemed a Transaction Agreement.

During a reasonable period prior to filing, the Sellers shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Tax Return to the extent that Buyer could be liable for the Taxes reflected thereon as a successor or otherwise by operation of law, and shall consider in good faith Buyer’s reasonable comments. Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall timely file or cause to be timely filed, all other Tax Returns of or with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Business.

At least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and the Sellers will agree in writing with respect to the preliminary allocation of the Purchase Price to be paid pursuant to Article 3 among the Sellers and their Subsidiaries based on the fair market value of the Acquired Assets to be transferred by each of them. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers an allocation of the Purchase Price to be paid pursuant to the terms of Article 3 (including any Assumed Liabilities (and, if the MITA Closing occurs, the liabilities of PEF) to the extent properly taken into account for income tax purposes) among the Acquired Assets (and, if the MITA Closing occurs, the assets of PEF) and the covenants set forth in Article 10 in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation”). Buyer and the Sellers will cooperate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter to reach an agreement with respect to the Allocation. Any disputes regarding the Allocation shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Sellers, the costs of which shall be borne equally by Buyer on one hand and the Sellers on the other. The Allocation shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price. The Allocation as agreed to by the Parties or as finally determined by such accounting firm shall be referred to as the “Final Allocation.” Buyer and the Sellers agree to report and to cause each of their respective Affiliates to report the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation for all Tax purposes, and none of them will take any position or cause their respective Affiliates to take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, in any litigation, or otherwise, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Buyer and the Sellers shall promptly notify the other parties in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment challenging the Final Allocation.

10.4 Cooperation; Tax Contests. The Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns of or with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Business, and in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes relating or attributable thereto for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (each, a “Tax Contest”). Such

-55-

cooperation shall include retention and provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Contest and making employees available on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Any Tax Contest shall be considered a Third Party Claim governed by Section 13.5.

10.5 Transfer Taxes. All sales, use, transfer, value-added, goods and services, recording, ad valorem, privilege, documentary, gains, gross receipts, registration, conveyance, excise, license, stamp, duties or similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Sellers. The Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall timely file or cause to be timely filed any Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes at their own expense.

ARTICLE 11

NON-COMPETITION; NON-SOLICITATION

11.1 Non-Competition.

(a) Each of the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if a Seller were to provide services to or otherwise participate in a Competing Business and that any such competition by a Seller (or its Affiliates) would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Buyer. Each of the Sellers further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article 11 were a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that Buyer would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties if a Seller breached the provisions of this Section 11.1. Therefore, each of the Sellers agrees, in further consideration of the amounts to be paid hereunder for the Acquired Assets and the goodwill of the Sellers sold by the Sellers that at all times until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, engage in, conduct, manage, operate, own, control, participate in the management of (whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, agent representative or otherwise) or consult with a Competing Business in the Competing Territory or any portion thereof, provided that the foregoing shall not preclude the ownership by the Sellers and their Affiliates of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities of any publically traded company, provided, further, that the restrictions in this Section 11.1(a) shall not prohibit or restrict the Sellers’ performance, satisfaction or fulfillment of ongoing service or warranty obligations under any of the Specifically Excluded Contracts under which Seller has ongoing service or warranty obligations. Each of the Sellers acknowledges that the Business has been conducted or is presently proposed to be conducted throughout the Competing Territory and that the geographic restrictions set forth above are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business being sold by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Buyer agrees that at all times until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, share or otherwise provide any third party who is in the consumer lending and financing business with access to the Customer DB.

11.2 Non-Solicitation.

(a) So long as the employment of the Key Employees by Buyer and its Affiliates has not been terminated, each of the Sellers agrees that, until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Buyer, it shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person, (a) induce or attempt to induce to leave employment, or hire any Transferred Employee, or (b) hire any person who was an employee of the Business at any time during the six (6) month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place (it being conclusively presumed by the parties so as to avoid any disputes under this Section 11.2 that any such hiring within such six-month period is in violation of clause (a) above); provided, however, that non-directed newspaper or internet help wanted advertisements and search firm engagements shall not be considered solicitations hereunder.

-56-

(b) If the employment of the Key Employees by Buyer and its Affiliates has been terminated, each of the Parties agrees that, until the second (2^nd) anniversary of such termination, without the prior written consent of Parent, in the case of the Sellers, or Buyer, in the case of Buyer or Acquisition Sub, it shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person, induce or attempt to induce to leave employment, or hire any Employee of any of the applicable Parties; provided, however, that non-directed newspaper or internet help wanted advertisements and search firm engagements shall not be considered solicitations hereunder.

(c) For so long as each of the Sellers has continuing obligations under Section 11.1, call on, solicit or service any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other third party with a business relationship with the Business (including any Person that was a customer, supplier or other third party with a potential business relationship with the Business at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to such call, solicit or service) with the intent to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Business, or in any way interfere with the business relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other third party and the Business (including making any negative statements or communications about the Business) in a manner harmful to the Business.

11.3 Severability. If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in Section 8.5 and this Article 11 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. The Sellers have consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation have determined and hereby acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business and the substantial investment in the Sellers made by Buyer hereunder. The Sellers further acknowledge and agree that the Restrictive Covenants are being entered into by it in connection with the sale by the Sellers of the Acquired Assets and the goodwill of the Business pursuant to this Agreement and not directly or indirectly in connection with Sellers’ employment or other relationship with Buyer.

ARTICLE 12

PRE-CLOSING TERMINATION

(e) by the Sellers (provided that the Sellers are not then in material breach of this Agreement), if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement such that, if not cured on or prior to the Closing, the conditions set forth in Section 3.4(c) would not be satisfied at the Closing and such breach has not been cured within twenty (20) Business Days after written notice thereof to Buyer.

12.2 Effect of Pre-Closing Termination. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 12.1, this Agreement shall thereupon and forthwith become void and of no further force or effect whatsoever, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Buyer, the Sellers or their respective Affiliates or representatives in connection herewith; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any Party from liability resulting from or arising out of any willful and intentional breach of such Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth herein or impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by the other Party of its obligations under this Agreement; and provided further that the provisions of Section 8.5 (Confidentiality), Section 8.7 (Public Statements), this Section 12.2 and Article 15 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement under the terms of Section 12.1.

ARTICLE 13

POST-CLOSING INDEMNIFICATION

13.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. If the Transactions are consummated, (a) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in the Transaction Agreements (other than the Seller Fundamental Representations) shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (b) the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in the Transaction Agreements shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (x) all of the Stock Consideration and Additional Stock Consideration shall have been sold by the Sellers and Parent Holders or (y) 11:59 p.m. (California time) on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and (c) the Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (the periods referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c), the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that in the event that any Buyer Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Certificate to the Representative setting forth a claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article 13 in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement or in any agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, then such representation or warranty shall survive the expiration of the applicable Survival Period and remain in full force and effect solely with respect to such claim until the final resolution thereof. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Agreements or in any agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered by pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall continue to remain in full force and effect in perpetuity after the Closing Date, unless they terminate earlier in accordance with their express terms.

respective directors, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates and other Persons who control or are controlled by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, and their respective agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or to which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties made by the Sellers in the Transaction Agreements on and as of the date of this Agreement or on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

(ii) any Excluded Liabilities and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

(iii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or other agreement of the Sellers under the Transaction Agreements (other than the Transition Services Agreement) and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

(iv) removing any Liens (other than Permitted Liens and Liens that arising after the Closing) on the Acquired Assets and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

(v) any allocation or delivery of the Stock Consideration or the Additional Stock Consideration pursuant to an Allocation Letter and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

(vi) any Action by any of the Parent Holders related to the Transactions (except in connection with enforcing such Parent Holder’s rights under this Agreement); and

(vii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or other agreement of the Sellers under the Transition Services Agreement and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13).

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 13, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and each of its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and other persons who control or are controlled by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, and their respective agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties or to which any of the Seller Indemnified Parties may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in the Transaction Agreements on and as of the date of this Agreement or on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Seller Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

-59-

(ii) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or other agreement of Buyer under the Transaction Agreements (other than the Transition Services Agreement) and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Seller Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13);

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities and any Action relating thereto (including any Action commenced by any Seller Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Article 13).

(c) Except in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, from and after the Closing the rights of Buyer and the Sellers, as applicable, to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement shall be the exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to any breach of, inaccuracy in or nonfulfillment of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements (except as otherwise provided in such Transaction Agreements). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 13.2(c) shall not apply to any actions to specifically enforce the covenants in this Agreement.

(d) For the purposes of Section 13.2(a)(i) and determining the amount of Losses suffered by a Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of any breach of, inaccuracy in or failure of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement given or made by the Sellers that is qualified or limited in scope as to materiality or Business Material Adverse Effect or similar concepts, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualification or limitation.

(e) The right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy of, inaccuracy in of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or by the waiver of any condition. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement in order for such Buyer Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder. Buyer and the Sellers each acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Closing, which if resolved at the Closing would have led to a reduction in the Purchase Price that Buyer would have paid in connection with the Transactions.

13.3 Limitations on Indemnification. Except for claims arising out of fraud or intentional misrepresentation:

(a) A (i) Seller Indemnified Party shall not be entitled recover any Losses under Section 13.2(b)(i) in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in the Transaction Agreements (other than any Buyer Fundamental Representation) and (ii) Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover any Losses under Section 13.2(a)(i) in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties made by the Sellers in the Transaction Agreements (other than any Seller Fundamental Representation), in each case unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses is at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Basket”), after which the applicable Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover the amount of all of such Losses from the first dollar of such Losses without regard to the Basket.

(b) The maximum aggregate amount of Losses that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover:

(i) under Section 13.2(a)(i): (i) in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or warranties made by the Sellers (other than any Seller Fundamental Representation) set forth

-60-

in any Transaction Agreement shall be limited to the amount then available in the Escrow Fund, and (ii) in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any Seller Fundamental Representation shall be limited to One Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($120,000,000);

(ii) for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or under Sections 13.2(a)(ii) through 13.2(a)(vi) shall be unlimited; and

(iii) under Section 13.2(a)(vii) shall be limited to the amount then available in the Escrow Fund plus the aggregate amounts actually paid by Buyer or Acquisition Sub under the Transition Services Agreement (provided, that notwithstanding anything in the Transition Services Agreement to the contrary, any amounts accrued but unpaid by Buyer owed to the Sellers will be forfeited by the Sellers to the extent necessary to satisfy such recovery).

(i) under Section 13.2(b)(i): (i) in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representations or warranties made by Buyer (other than any Buyer Fundamental Representation) set forth in this Agreement shall be limited to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) as reduced by any Losses recovered by the Seller Indemnified Parties, and (ii) in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any Buyer Fundamental Representation shall be limited to One Hundred Sixteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($116,300,000); and

(ii) for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or under Sections 13.2(b)(ii) through 13.2(b)(iii) shall be unlimited.

(d) So long as the amount available in the Escrow Fund (calculated for all purpose as if the value of a share of the Buyer Common Stock were equal to (i) the Closing Date Price, if there is no Additional Stock Consideration, or (ii) the Effective Date Price, if there is Additional Stock Consideration) exceeds the aggregate amount of all claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that have been asserted but not resolved, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall seek to recover amounts in respect of any claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 13.2(a) from the Escrow Fund prior to seeking to recover amounts in respect of such claims directly from the Sellers or Parent Holders; provided, however, that to the extent any amounts are released from the Escrow Fund to any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to claims for indemnification that are not subject to the limitation set forth in Section 13.3(a), such recovered amounts shall not reduce the amount that the Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover with respect to claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that are subject to the limitation contained in Section 13.3(a).

(e) In determining the amount of Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 13, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (excluding any costs incurred by an Indemnified Party in recovering or seeking to recover any insurance proceeds), and (ii) all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons; provided, however, that unless required by applicable Law, no Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to seek recover under any insurance policy or from any third party Persons.

13.4 Indemnification Claims.

(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party believes that it has or may have a right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”), such Buyer Indemnified Party shall so notify the Representative and the Escrow Agent in a written notice (a “Claim Certificate”), prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (if applicable): (i) stating that such Buyer Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly suffered or incurred any Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it will directly or

-61-

indirectly suffer or incur any Losses, for which it is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement, (ii) a brief description in reasonable detail (to the extent available to such Buyer Indemnified Party) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to each item of Losses based on such Buyer Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, and (iii) the basis for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement to which such item of Losses is related.

(b) In the event that the Representative shall seek to contest any individual items of Losses set forth in a Claim Certificate, the Representative shall so notify the Buyer Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Claim Certificate, which notice shall set forth a brief description in reasonable detail of the Representative’s basis for objecting to each item of Loss. In the event that the Representative shall fail to object to any items of Loss set forth in a Claim Certificate within the first twenty-five (25) days of the foregoing thirty-day period, the Buyer Indemnified Party may re-send the Claim Certificate (indicating that it is the second and final notice). In the event that the Representative shall fail to object to any items of Loss set forth in a Claim Certificate within the thirty (30) day period following the original receipt of the Claim Certificate, the Seller Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed and consented to the indemnification, compensation and reimbursement of the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such items of Loss pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) If a Seller Indemnified Party believes that it has or may have a right to a Indemnification Claim, such Seller Indemnified Party shall so notify the Buyer in a Claim Certificate, prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (if applicable): (i) stating that such Seller Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly suffered or incurred any Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it will directly or indirectly suffer or incur any Losses, for which it is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement, (ii) a brief description in reasonable detail (to the extent available to such Seller Indemnified Party) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to each item of Losses based on such Seller Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, and (iii) the basis for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement to which such item of Losses is related.

13.5 Third Party Claims . In the event any Action is instituted against an Indemnified Party which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve an Indemnification Claim hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Action, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Action will relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability in connection therewith only if and to the extent that such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnified Party is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnified Party given the Indemnifying Party prompt notice hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim by appointing a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, that prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming control of such defense it shall first verify to the Indemnified Party in writing that such Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for all liabilities and obligations relating to such Third Party Claim up to the limitations set forth in Section 13.3 and subject to such limitations, and provided, further, that:

(a) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, and except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party);

-62-

(b) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation, business, operations or future business prospects; (iii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iv) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a substantial likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (v) upon petition by the Indemnified Party the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; (vi) the amount of Losses reasonably estimated to be incurred pursuant to such Third Party Claim (when combined with all other outstanding claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement and any amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party that applies toward the applicable cap under Section 13.3 (if any) would exceed the applicable cap contemplated by Section 13.3 (if any)) or (vii) the claim relates to a breach or alleged breach of Section 5.4 (Title; Sufficiency) or Section 5.11 (Intellectual Property);

(c) if the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such 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 with respect to such claim with prejudice; and

(d) if the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party settles, adjusts or compromises any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim (it being understood that if the Indemnified Party requests that the Indemnifying Party consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).

(e) For the purposes of this Section 13.5, if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller or Parent Holder, notice shall instead be given to the Representative and the Representative shall take all actions of the Indemnifying Party.

13.6 Representative.

(a) By virtue of the approval of the Transactions and this Agreement by the Parent Holders and pursuant to the Parent Holder Agreements, each of the Parent Holders and the Sellers (collectively, the “Seller Indemnifying Parties”) shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Parent as his, her or its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Representative for and on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties to take all actions under this Agreement that are to be taken by the Representative, including to amend this Agreement, to waive any provision of this Agreement, to negotiate payments due pursuant to this Article 13, to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Buyer Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by any Buyer Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, any other claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party against any Seller Indemnifying Party or by any such Seller Indemnifying Party against any Buyer Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Buyer Indemnified Party and any such Seller Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the

-63-

Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower the Representative to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing (i) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Seller Indemnifying Parties or (ii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Seller Indemnifying Party, whereupon the Representative may appoint the Seller Indemnifying Party who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim on behalf of the Representative, and all references to the Representative in such event shall include also such Seller Indemnifying Party. Such agency may be changed by the Parent Holders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Representative may not be removed unless Parent Holders holding an Indirect Ownership Interest (as set forth on Exhibit E) of at least 51% (a “Majority Interest”) agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Representative may be filled by a Majority Interest. In the event a vacancy in the position of Representative exists for fifteen (15) or more days, Parent shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a replacement Representative. No bond shall be required of the Representative, and the Representative shall not receive any compensation for his, her or its services. Notices or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Seller Indemnifying Parties.

(b) The Representative represents and warrants to Parent and to the Escrow Agent that it has the irrevocable right, power and authority (i) to enter into and perform its obligations as Representative under this Agreement and to bind each of the Indemnifying Parties to its terms, (ii) to give and receive directions and notices hereunder, and (iii) to make all determinations that may be required or that it deems appropriate under this Agreement.

(c) Until notified in writing by the Representative that he, she it has resigned, or that he, she or it has been removed by a Majority Interest, Parent and the Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and act upon the directions, instructions and notices of the Representative named above and, thereafter, upon the directions, instructions and notices of any successor named in a writing executed by a Majority Interest.

(d) The Seller Indemnifying Parties each hereby authorize the Representative to:

(i) Receive all notices or documents given or to be given to the Indemnifying Parties pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or therewith and to receive and accept services of legal process in connection with any suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement;

(ii) Engage counsel, and such accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby as the Representative may in its sole discretion deem appropriate; and

(iii) Take such action as the Representative may in its sole discretion deem appropriate in respect of: (A) waiving any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of Buyer or Acquisition Sub contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered by Buyer or Acquisition Sub pursuant hereto, (B) taking such other action as the Representative is authorized to take under this Agreement, (C) receiving all documents or certificates and making all determinations, in his, her or its capacity as Representative, required under this Agreement and (D) all such actions as may be necessary to carry out any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the defense and/or settlement of any claims for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article 13 and any waiver of any obligation of Buyer or Acquisition Sub.

(e) The Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Seller Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in

-64-

connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative, including an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of the Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Indemnifying Parties; and the Escrow Agent, Buyer and Acquisition Sub may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Indemnifying Parties. The Escrow Agent, Buyer and Acquisition Sub are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative.

13.7 Tax Treatment. All indemnity payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE 14

REGISTRATION

14.1 Filing and Effectiveness of Seller Registration Statement.

(a) Within twenty four (24) hours after the Closing, Buyer shall file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or other appropriate form) covering the resale to the public by the Sellers and the Parent Holders if applicable, of all shares representing the Stock Consideration (the “Seller Registration Statement”) with the SEC. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Seller Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable; provided that Buyer shall not be required to make any filing with the SEC prior to the date that such filing otherwise would be due. Buyer shall cause the Seller Registration Statement to remain effective until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (to be extended for each day of a Registration Suspension (as defined below)) or such earlier time as all of the Stock Consideration covered by the Seller Registration Statement has been sold pursuant thereto or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Buyer shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Article 14, including all preparation, filing fees, costs and expenses, all exchange listing fees, all fees, costs and expenses of counsel for Buyer, accountants for Buyer and other advisors or persons retained by Buyer in connection with the filing of the Seller Registration Statement, but excluding (i) any brokerage fees, selling commissions or underwriting discounts incurred by the Sellers and the Parent Holders in connection with sales under the Seller Registration Statement and (ii) the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the Sellers or the Parent Holders. For purposes of this Article 14 and Section 3.1(c), “Parent Holders” shall be deemed to include up to twelve (12) additional Persons specified in the Allocation Letter provided that such Persons execute and deliver a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire to Buyer prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer may, by written notice to the Representative, (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of the Seller Registration Statement, or (ii) suspend the Seller Registration Statement after it has been declared effective by the SEC and require that the Sellers and the Parent Holders immediately cease sales of the Stock Consideration and, if applicable, the Additional Stock Consideration pursuant to the Seller Registration Statement, in each case only if an event outside of Buyer’s control occurs that results in the Seller Registration Statement containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(c) If Buyer delays or suspends the Seller Registration Statement or requires the Sellers and the Parent Holders to cease sales of the Stock Consideration and, if applicable, the Additional Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 14.1(b), Buyer shall take such actions as may be necessary to file or reinstate the effectiveness of the Seller Registration Statement and/or give written notice to the Representative authorizing the Sellers and the Parent Holders to resume sales pursuant to the Seller Registration Statement. If as a result thereof the prospectus included in the Seller Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Buyer shall enclose such revised prospectus with the notice to the Sellers

-65-

given pursuant to this Section 14.1(c), and the Sellers and the Parent Holders shall make no offers or sales of the Stock Consideration and, if applicable, the Additional Stock Consideration pursuant to the Seller Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not suspend the Seller Registration Statement pursuant to Section 14.1(b) (a “Registration Suspension”) for more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate; provided, however, that there is no limit on the number of Registration Suspensions that Buyer can cause.

14.2 Registration Procedures.

(a) Buyer shall notify the Representative at any time when the prospectus included in the Seller Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(b) In connection with the filing by Buyer of the Seller Registration Statement, Buyer shall make available to the Representative, on behalf of the Sellers and the Parent Holders, a copy of the prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act.

(c) Buyer shall take any action required to be taken under state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the Seller Registration Statement and the issuance of the Stock Consideration and, if applicable, Additional Stock Consideration; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required in connection with this Section 14.2(c) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(d) Buyer shall promptly notify the Representative, on behalf of the Sellers and the Parent Holders, when the Seller Registration Statement has become effective and anytime when resales must cease or may be resumed.

(e) Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Seller Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and shall promptly notify Representative accordingly.

(f) If Buyer has delivered a preliminary or final prospectus to the Representative on behalf of the Sellers and the Parent Holders, and after having done so the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, Buyer shall promptly notify the Representative, on behalf of the Sellers and the Parent Holders, and, if requested by Buyer, the Sellers and the Parent Holders shall immediately cease making offers or sales of shares representing the Stock Consideration or, if applicable, the Additional Stock Consideration under the Seller Registration Statement and return the prospectus to Buyer. Buyer shall promptly provide the Representative, on behalf of the Sellers and the Parent Holders, with revised or supplemented prospectus and, following receipt of the revised or supplemented prospectus, the Sellers and the Parent Holders shall be free to resume making offers and sales under the Seller Registration Statement. Any period of time after such request and prior to such receipt shall be deemed a Registration Suspension.

(g) Buyer shall cause all the Stock Consideration or the Additional Stock Consideration to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Buyer are then listed.

(h) If necessary, Buyer shall provide a transfer agent, registrar and CUSIP number for the Stock Consideration, in each case not later than the Effective Date.

(i) Buyer shall advise the Representative, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of the Seller Registration Statement.

-66-

(j) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and Parent Holder, each Person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each brokerage firm that effects a sale of the Stock Consideration or the Additional Stock Consideration pursuant to the Seller Registration Statement on behalf of the foregoing Persons (a “Selling Brokerage Firm”), against all Losses to which any of the foregoing Persons become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Seller Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses), except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon (i) any information furnished in writing to Buyer by any Seller or Parent Holder expressly for use therein, (ii) the sale of the Stock Consideration or the Additional Stock Consideration after the Representative has been notified in writing or via email of a potential material misstatement or omission in the Seller Registration Statement or any related prospectus and prior to Buyer’s amendment or supplement of the Seller Registration Statement or such prospectus (or Buyer’s confirmation there is no such material misstatement or omission) or (iii) by a Seller’s or Parent Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Seller Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after Buyer has made available to the Representative the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of the Stock Consideration or the Additional Stock Consideration.

14.3 Requirements of Sellers. Buyer shall not be required to include any shares representing the Stock Consideration held by a particular Seller or Parent Holder in the Seller Registration Statement unless such Seller or Parent Holder owning such Stock Consideration shall have delivered to the Buyer not later than the Closing Date, in writing such information regarding such Seller or Parent Holder and the proposed sale of the Stock Consideration by such Seller or Parent Holder as Buyer may reasonably request and as is customarily required in connection with the Seller Registration Statement or as shall be required in connection therewith by the SEC or any state securities law authorities (the “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”). A Seller may not assign any of its rights under this Article 14 other than to the Parent Holders.

15.2 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to applicable Law, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the Parties, or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No course of dealing and no failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such party’s rights, powers and remedies. The failure of any of the Parties to this Agreement to require the performance of a term or obligation under this Agreement or the waiver by any of the Parties to this Agreement of any breach hereunder shall not prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach hereunder. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

15.3 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements and other provisions set forth in this Agreement and made by or on behalf of either Party shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs and permitted assigns of such party, whether or not so expressed. Neither Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent in writing of the other Party, except that, without the consent of the other Parties: (a) Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder (including its right to purchase the Acquired Assets), in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates, (b) Buyer may assign its rights and

-68-

obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Business (whether by sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise), (c) Buyer may assign any or all of its rights pursuant to the Transaction Agreements, including its rights to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, to any of its lenders as collateral security, and (d) Sellers may assign the Stock Consideration and the right to receive Additional Stock Consideration to the Parent Holders.

15.4 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected (so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party), it being intended that each Parties’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and any such invalidity, illegality and unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction (so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party).

15.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Agreements, each of the Sellers and Buyer shall pay all of its own respective fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers and other representatives and consultants) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the Transactions. Losses suffered by a Party for a breach of this Agreement shall in no way be limited by the amounts described in this Section 15.5.

15.6 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without proof of damages) to prevent actual or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and the Parties hereby agree to waive any requirements for posting a bond in connection with any such action.

15.7 Other Remedies. Except to the extent set forth otherwise herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

15.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as specifically set forth or referred to herein and except for Selling Brokerage Firms to the extent set forth in Section 14.2(j), nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any other certificate, document, instrument or agreement executed in connection herewith nor be relied upon other than the Parties hereto and their permitted successors or assigns. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and are not necessarily intended as characterization of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any earlier date.

15.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Seller Disclosure Schedule (and all schedules and exhibits thereto) and all Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, and all other agreements referred to herein is complete, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties and agreements with reference to the subject matter hereof, and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by all the Parties hereto, have been expressed herein or in such Seller Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits or such other agreements and this Agreement, including such Seller Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits and such other agreements supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent that they related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

15.11 Consent to Jurisdiction. Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 15.11, the Parties hereto agree that any legal proceeding by or against any Party hereto or with respect to or arising out of this Agreement shall be brought in federal or state courts located in San Mateo County, California or Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts solely for the purposes of disputes arising under this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The Parties hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder. Any such service of process shall be effective upon delivery. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. The Parties hereto hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process, (b) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, or (c) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any Party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

15.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

15.13 Counterparts. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in two or more counterparts and by the different Parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a fax machine or by .pdf, ..tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
