ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

(a) For purposes hereof, “Net Working Capital” shall mean the amount, calculated based on a balance sheet prepared as of immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), equal to all current assets of the Acquired Companies (including Cash but excluding deferred tax assets, any other Income Tax assets, if any, and related party items released or satisfied at Closing (including intercompany items)) as of such time minus all current liabilities of the Acquired Companies (including Option Payment Liabilities, but excluding Debt to be Repaid, deferred tax liabilities, any liabilities or reserves for Income Taxes, if any, all Company Transaction Expenses and Company IPO Expenses to the extent paid at or in connection with Closing and other related party items released or satisfied at or in connection with Closing (including intercompany items, accrued management fees and accrued former CEO consulting fees and the Aggregate Option Termination Amount)) as of such time, in each case without duplication. The Closing Balance Sheet shall include an accrual for the D&O Insurance, if such expense has not been paid by the Closing. An example of the calculation of Net Working Capital assuming a September 30, 2011 Closing Date is appended hereto as Exhibit E.

(b) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative its determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and, based thereon, its determination of Net Working Capital and a proposed Adjustment Amount. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (consistently applied in accordance with the accounting policies and practices used to prepare the Balance Sheet); provided,

however, that in the case of a conflict between GAAP and consistency, GAAP shall control. The Seller Representative may object to Buyers’ determination of the Adjustment Amount by delivery of a written statement of objections (stating the basis of the objections with reasonable specificity) to Buyers within 30 days following delivery to the Seller Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet and Buyers’ determination of Net Working Capital and a proposed Adjustment Amount; provided, however, that the only bases for objecting shall be (i) non-compliance with this Section 2.5(b) and (ii) computational errors in the calculation of Net Working Capital or the Adjustment Amount. If the Seller Representative makes such objection, then Buyers and the Seller Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve all disagreements set forth in such written statement of objections within 20 days following the delivery thereof to Buyers. If the Seller Representative does not make an objection within such 30-day period, the Closing Balance Sheet proposed by Buyers and, based thereon, the Net Working Capital and the Adjustment Amount shall be considered final and binding upon the parties.

(i) less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then, within 5 Business Days of final determination of the Adjustment Amount, (A) RGF and the Seller Representative shall in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement direct the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to RGF from the Working Capital Holdback Amount the amount of such short fall up to the full Working Capital Holdback Amount (plus accrued interest, if any), and to the extent that the Working Capital Holdback Amount exceeds such short fall, to pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of such excess, and (B) to the extent that the Working Capital Holdback Amount is less than such short fall, (x) Compass shall pay to Buyers, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to such bank account of Buyers, Compass’ Pro Rata Percentage of the balance of such short fall and (y) with respect to Sellers other than Compass, Buyers and the Seller Representative shall in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement direct the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to Buyers from the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount the remaining amount of such short fall up to the full Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount (plus accrued interest, if any), and to the extent that the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount is less than such remaining short fall, each Seller (other than Compass) shall pay to Buyers, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to such bank account of Buyers, or by such other means, as Buyers shall specify in writing to the Seller Representative, such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the balance of such remaining short fall; or

(ii) greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, then, within 5 Business Days of final determination of the Adjustment Amount, (A) Buyers or the Company shall pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the amount of such excess, in immediately available funds, by wire transfer to such bank account or accounts of such Seller, or by such other means, as the Seller Representative shall specify in writing to Buyers, and (B) RGF and the Seller Representative shall in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement direct the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Working Capital Holdback Amount (plus accrued interest, if any).

(d) After the Closing, Buyers shall permit the Seller Representative and its representatives to have reasonable access to, and to examine and make copies of, the books and records of the Acquired Companies for purposes of timely reviewing Buyers’ Closing Balance Sheet and calculations of Net Working Capital and the Adjustment Amount, and preparing any written statement of objections to the calculation of Net Working Capital and the Adjustment Amount.

(e) In the event Buyers and the Seller Representative are unable to agree on the final Adjustment Amount, either party may elect, by written notice to the other party, to have such disagreement resolved by the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a final and binding resolution of the Adjustment Amount and, based thereon, the Purchase Price. The Independent Accountant will only consider those items and amounts in dispute, and shall be instructed that, in making its final and binding resolution of any particular item, it shall apply the standard set forth in Section 2.5(b); provided, however, that it may not resolve any amounts in dispute such that the resolution is greater than the greatest amount proposed by the parties or less than the least amount proposed by the parties. No appeal from such determination shall be permitted. The Independent Accountant shall be further instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within 30 days after submission of the Closing Balance Sheet to it, and in any case, as soon as practicable after such submission. The costs and expenses for the services of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the party whose proposed calculation of the Adjustment Amount deviates the greatest from that as finally determined by the Independent Accountant. Judgment upon any award or decision by the Independent Accountant may be enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

2.6

TAX WITHHOLDINGS

Buyers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted and withheld under the IRC or other applicable Legal Requirement, and shall timely remit any such withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Body as required by all applicable Legal Requirements. In addition, if requested by Seller Representative, Buyers shall permit to be deposited with the Company from any amount payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Option Holder or other Person such portion thereof as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the IRC or any Legal Requirement, and shall cause the Company to timely pay such amounts to the applicable taxing authority. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

2.7

CHARACTERIZATION OF PAYMENTS

Except as set forth in the next sentence, the payments made pursuant to Section 2.4(b) shall be considered payments from the Buyer to the Sellers.

6.2

TAX RETURNS, ELECTIONS, ETC.

The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility concerning certain tax matters between Buyers and the Sellers following the Closing Date:

(a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(i) The Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Periods”). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice, unless such prior practice is not in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. In preparing such Tax Returns, the Company shall make or cause to be made the safe harbor election described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29 with respect to any “success-based fee” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f) relating to the Contemplated Transactions. At least 20 Business Days before the due date (taking into account all extensions granted), the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller Representative all such Tax Returns for Seller Representative’s review prior to filing. Within 5 Business Days after receiving a copy of each such Tax Return, Seller Representative shall notify the Company whether or not it has any reasonable objections to such Tax Return or the contents thereof. If the Seller Representative objects to the Company’s proposed Tax Return and/or the contents thereof, Seller Representative shall provide a notice of such objection together with a statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such objection within such 10 days after receiving such Tax Return. The Company will make such changes to such Tax Return as the Seller Representative reasonably determines necessary or appropriate, but only to the extent that such changes are in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and consistent with prior Company practice. If Seller Representative and the Company cannot resolve the dispute regarding the proposed Tax Return and/or the contents thereof, the Independent Accountant shall resolve such dispute within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return. Such resolution shall be binding on each of the parties hereto, and Sellers, collectively, on one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the cost of the

Independent Accountant. The Company shall timely file each such Tax Return (and promptly provide a true and complete copy thereof to Seller Representative) and pay to the appropriate Governmental Body all Taxes of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods; subject to reimbursement and indemnification as provided below in Section 6.2(d).

(ii) The Company shall prepare and timely file or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns (other than the Tax Returns described in Section 6.2(a)(i) above) with respect to the Acquired Companies or in respect of their business, assets or operations, including any Tax Returns for a Tax period which begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). The Company shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes of the Acquired Companies for all taxable periods ending after the Closing Date, including any Taxes relating to Straddle Periods, subject to reimbursement and indemnification as provided below in Section 6.2(d). Any Taxes relating to Straddle Periods shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing Date portion of any Straddle Period (a “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”, which shall be defined to include the Closing Date) and the post-Closing Date portion of the Straddle Period (the “Post-Closing Straddle Period”), in the case of any Taxes levied on a per diem basis, and, in the case of other Taxes, based on an interim closing of the books as of the Closing Date, with a deemed short taxable year ending on and including the Closing Date and a second deemed short taxable year beginning on and including the day after the Closing Date. Buyers agree to structure the acquisition of the Acquired Companies or to file such elections so as to cause the taxable period of the Acquired Companies to end as of the close of business on the Closing Date and to file all Tax Returns consistently therewith, unless the relevant Governmental Body will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining Taxes for which Sellers shall be responsible in respect of any such short taxable year or deemed short taxable year, all of (x) the Company Transaction Expenses, Company IPO Expenses and other related party items paid on or prior to the Closing Date, (y) the Aggregate Option Termination Amount and (z) the Option Payment Liabilities (such amounts equal to any item of loss or deduction properly deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes resulting from or attributable to such items described in clauses (x), (y) and (z), collectively, the “Transaction Tax Deductions”) shall be treated as having been paid in a Pre-Closing Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period, as applicable.

(iii) At least 20 Business Days before the due date (taking into account all extensions granted) for filing any Tax Returns for any Straddle Period Taxes, the Company shall provide a copy of such Tax Returns to Seller Representative for its review and approval on behalf of the Sellers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within 5 Business Days after receiving a copy of the Tax Return, Seller Representative shall notify the Company whether or not it has any reasonable objections to such Tax Return or the contents thereof. If the Seller Representative objects to the Company’s proposed Tax Return and/or the contents thereof, Seller Representative shall provide a notice of such objection together with a statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such objection within such 10 days after receiving such Tax Return. If Seller Representative and the Company cannot resolve the dispute regarding the proposed Tax Return and/or the contents thereof, the Independent Accountant shall resolve such dispute

within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return. Such resolution shall be binding on each of the parties hereto, and Sellers, collectively, on one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of the cost of the Independent Accountant.

(iv) Buyers shall not cause or permit any Acquired Company to (i) file an amended Tax Return with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period, (ii) file a change in accounting method or (iii) file an IRS Form 1120 Schedule UTP with respect to an accounting method that was used in a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case if such action reasonably would be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of Sellers (including pursuant to Section 6.2(d)) unless (A) the Seller Representative consents in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (B) Buyers obtain written advice from a nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to Seller Representative (it being stipulated that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP is acceptable) that such firm is of the opinion that such amended Tax Return or change in accounting method is more likely than not to be required by an applicable Legal Requirement to be filed to avoid the imposition of penalties, or that such Schedule UTP is more likely than not required by an applicable Legal Requirement to be filed.

(b) Tax Refunds.

(i) For the Benefit of Sellers. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.2(b)(iii), any refund or credit of Taxes (including any interest paid thereon) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or for any Pre-Closing Straddle Period of the Acquired Companies (a “Pre-Closing Tax Refund”), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by the Buyers or the Acquired Companies in order to obtain such refund, shall be the property of the Sellers and shall be retained by the Sellers or their designee (or promptly paid to the Sellers or their designee by the Buyers or the Company if such amount (or the benefit of such amount, if, for example, a refund is credited against Tax for another year) is received by the Buyers or any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates). Buyers shall cooperate in the filing of a claim for refund for any Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Refund if (A) the Seller Representative requests that Buyers or the Company file such claim for refund, (B) all costs related to the preparation of such claim for refund are paid for by the Sellers, and (C) the filing of such claim for refund does not adversely affect the Buyers or any Acquired Company as reasonably determined by Buyers. For the avoidance of doubt, Pre-Closing Tax Refunds shall not include any refunds or reductions in Tax attributable to (x) the carryback of a Tax attribute arising out of a Post-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Straddle Period or (y) the carryforward of a Tax attribute arising out of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period to a Post-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Straddle Period; provided, however, that in the event any of the Acquired Companies has paid estimated federal or state Taxes with respect to the taxable year beginning on January 1, 2011, and the amount of such Taxes paid with respect to any taxing jurisdiction is in excess of the amount of such Taxes that would be owed to such jurisdiction for the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the Closing Date based on the application of the principles of Section 6.2(a)(ii), such excess shall be considered a Pre-Closing Tax Refund.

(ii) For the Benefit of Buyers. Any refund or credit of Taxes (including any interest paid thereon) for any Post-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Straddle Period of the Acquired Companies shall be the property of the Buyers or the Acquired Companies, as applicable, and shall be retained by the applicable Person (or promptly paid by the Sellers to the Buyers or the Company if such amount is received by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates).

(iii) Transaction Tax Benefits. Without any duplication with any other payment or credit under this Agreement, the Company shall pay to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of any Transaction Tax Benefit (as defined below) realized, net of any costs or expenses (including any Tax) incurred in seeking or securing such Transaction Tax Benefit. For this purpose, a “Transaction Tax Benefit” is any refund of Tax paid with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period resulting from the carryback of a Transaction Tax Deduction or a reduction of Tax liability resulting from utilization of a Transaction Tax Deduction (or any net operating loss arising out of a Transaction Tax Deduction) in a Pre-Closing Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period. A Transaction Tax Benefit shall be deemed to be realized in a taxable period if, and to the extent that, either (A) the Company receives an actual cash refund of Taxes paid as a result of the carryback to a previous taxable year of a Transaction Tax Deduction, calculated by the difference, if any, between (1) the actual refund of Taxes of the Company that is available for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (2) the refund of Taxes of the Company that would be available for the Pre-Closing Tax Period if the Taxes of the Company for such period were computed without regard to any Transaction Tax Deductions, or (B) the Company’s cumulative liability for Taxes for a Pre-Closing Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period, calculated by excluding the relevant Transaction Tax Deduction, exceeds the Company’s actual liability for Taxes for such Pre-Closing Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period, calculated by taking into account the relevant Transaction Tax Deduction (treating such Transaction Tax Deduction as the last item claimed for any such Pre-Closing Straddle Period or Pre-Closing Tax Period). If, at any time following a payment by the Company to each Seller in respect of a Transaction Tax Benefit, the Company reasonably determines, whether as a result of a change in Legal Requirements, an administrative pronouncement, an audit, or otherwise, that the Transaction Tax Benefit giving rise to such payment should be reduced, then the Company shall notify Seller Representative of the amount of such reduction. The amount of any such reduction, plus any amount of interest and penalties imposed by a taxing authority with respect to such reduced amount, shall be satisfied first from the Tax Escrow Amount and if the Tax Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such amount, then (x) directly from Compass for Compass’ Pro Rata Percentage of such amount and (y) with respect to Sellers other than Compass, from the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount, and if the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such amount, then directly from Sellers (other than Compass), severally and not jointly, in the amount of such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of such amount.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph, Seller Representative and Buyers and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in the preparation and review of all Tax Returns of, and in the conduct of any Tax Claim with respect to, the Acquired Companies for any taxable periods for which one party could reasonably require the assistance of the other party in obtaining any necessary information. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing copies of appropriate notices and forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Body which relate to the Acquired Companies and providing such information within such party’s possession as is reasonably determined by the requesting party to be necessary for the preparation or review of Tax Returns or conduct of Tax Claims, as applicable.

(ii) Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, for a period the longer of four years after the Closing Date or the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, Buyers shall, and shall cause the Company to, retain and not destroy or dispose of any Tax Returns (including supporting materials), and books and records (including computer files) with respect to the Taxes, of the Acquired Companies for all taxable periods ending or deemed to end on or prior to the Closing Date.

(iii) Without limiting (i) and (ii) above, Buyers shall cause the Company, upon reasonable request of the Seller Representative, to (A) cooperate with the Seller Representative, provided such cooperation is commercially reasonable and not otherwise unduly burdensome and does not require the expenditure of incremental funds to third parties (unless reimbursed by Sellers), and (B) provide to the Seller Representative and its Representatives reasonable access during normal working hours to the books, records and personnel of the Acquired Companies relating to the Contemplated Transactions and the operation of the Business of the Acquired Companies through the Closing Date, and the right to make copies thereof at the expense of the Seller Representative, in each case solely for the purposes of facilitating on a timely basis (1) the preparation of Compass financial statements (including pro forma financial statements if required), and (2) the review of any Compass audit or review work papers.

(d) Tax Indemnification. Subject to Sections 8.1, 8.4(b), 8.4(c), 8.4(d), 8.4(e) and 8.4(f), each of the Sellers, severally and not jointly, shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer Indemnified Persons for such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of:

(i) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies that are payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), except to the extent, if any, that the amount of such Taxes were reflected in the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b);

(ii) any Losses attributable to (A) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of any Acquired Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and any Pre-Closing Straddle Period, (B) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation, and (C) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Acquired Companies) imposed on any Acquired Company as a transferee or

successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, except to the extent, if any, that the amount of such Taxes were reflected in the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b);

(iii) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies that are attributable to the payment of a refund or Tax reduction by Buyers or the Acquired Companies to Sellers pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i) that is subsequently reduced or disallowed by a Governmental Body;

(iv) any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from or incident to a Breach by Sellers of any covenant contained in this Section 6.2; and

(v) any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from or incident to any Breach by the Company of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.9 or Section 3.10(f), except to the extent such amount was (A) indemnified pursuant to clauses (i)-(ii) above or (B) paid to or deposited with the appropriate Governmental Body by Sellers or Seller Representative at any time or by an Acquired Company prior to Closing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Losses shall not include any lost Tax benefits in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Periods or Post-Closing Straddle Periods arising or resulting from Breach of representations or warranties concerning accounting methods used in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Indemnity obligations in this Section 6.2(d) shall survive Closing for 30 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and shall be payable within 20 Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyers or the Acquired Companies. An indemnified obligation under this Section 6.2(d) shall be satisfied first from the Tax Escrow Amount and if the Tax Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such claim for indemnification, then (x) directly from Compass for Compass’ Pro Rata Percentage of such claim and (y) with respect to Sellers other than Compass, from the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount and if the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such claim for indemnification, then directly from Sellers (other than Compass), severally and not jointly, such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of such claim. This Section 6.2(d) shall be the sole source of indemnification for Taxes.

(e) Procedure for Indemnification - Tax Claims.

(i) If any Tax Claim is initiated by any Governmental Body that could result in indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Persons by Sellers under Section 6.2(d), Buyers shall promptly give notice to the Seller Representative of the commencement of such Tax Claim, but the failure to notify the Seller Representative will not relieve the Sellers of any liability that it may have to the Buyer Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Seller Representative demonstrates that the defense of such Tax Claim is prejudiced by Buyers’ failure to give such notice.

(ii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, if a Tax Claim referenced in Section 6.2(e)(i) is brought against a Buyer Indemnified Person, the Seller Representative will, on behalf of the Sellers, be entitled to participate in the defense and settlement of such Tax Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense and settlement of such Tax Claim as limited by Section 6.2(e)(v).

(iii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to Straddle Periods, to the extent possible, Tax liabilities will be distinguished and attributed such that the Seller Representative, to the extent that it wishes, will, on behalf of the Sellers, be entitled to assume the defense and settlement of Sellers’ portion of such Tax Claim as limited by Section 6.2(e)(v). To the extent a Tax liability cannot be so distinguished and attributed and the potential Tax liability of the Sellers is greater than that of the Buyer Indemnified Person with respect to such Tax Claim, the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be entitled to participate in the defense and settlement of such Tax Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense and settlement of such Tax Claim as limited by Section 6.2(e)(v).

(iv) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to Post-Closing Tax Periods, Buyers shall control the defense and settlement of such Taxes at its own expense; provided, however, that Seller Representative will, on behalf of the Sellers, be entitled to participate in the defense and settlement of the portion of such Tax Claim relating to an accounting method that was used in a Pre-Closing Tax Period and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense and settlement of such portion of such Tax Claim as limited by Section 6.2(e)(v).

(v) The right of the Seller Representative to assume the defense and settlement of a Tax Claim under Sections 6.2(e)(ii), 6.2(e)(iii) and 6.2(e)(iv) above shall be contingent upon its ability to provide reasonable assurance to the Buyer Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Tax Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Tax Claim. Such defense shall be at the expense of the Sellers and with counsel satisfactory to the Buyer Indemnified Person.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2(e), (x) Sellers shall not settle any Tax Claim without Buyers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if the resolution of such Tax Claim reasonably could be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of the Buyers or the Acquired Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period, and (y) Buyers shall not settle any Tax Claim without Seller Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if the resolution of such Tax Claim reasonably could be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of the Sellers or the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that could result in indemnification of any Buyer Indemnified Person by Sellers under Section 6.2(d).

6.3

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Effective simultaneously with the delivery by Buyers of the substitute letters of credit in accordance with Section 2.3(c), Seller Representative, the Company and Buyers shall cooperate with one another and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Workers’ Compensation Letters of Credit, to the extent not released to or as directed by the Seller Representative at Closing, to be released to or as directed by the Seller Representative promptly after Closing.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyers agree for themselves and for the Acquired Companies that, from and after the Closing Date, no former or current director of any Acquired Company shall be personally liable to any Acquired Company for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director for any acts or omissions occurring any time prior the Closing, except to the extent a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director establishes that (i) his or her acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii) that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled, or (iii) that his or her acts fall within the categories set forth in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.

(b) After the Closing, Buyers shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies to, until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, cause the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to the limitation or elimination of liability and indemnification for directors and officers than are set forth in such Organizational Documents as of the Closing Date.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 6.7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the parties. Neither party shall contest that the other party’s remedies at law for any Breach or threat of Breach by the other party or any of its Subsidiaries of the provisions of this Section 6.7 will be inadequate, and that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent Breaches of the provisions of this Section 6.7 and to enforce specifically such terms and provisions, in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled at law or in equity.

(c) If any of the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall for any reason be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, then such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.

8.4

LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.2, (i) Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(b)(i) unless and until such time as the aggregate amount of all of claims by Buyer Indemnified Persons for Losses exceeds an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Purchase Price (the “Threshold”), at which time the full aggregate amount of Losses (including the full amount of Losses that were aggregated in calculating whether the Threshold had been reached) shall be paid; and (ii) Sellers’ aggregate liability in respect of claims to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) and 8.2(b)(i) shall not exceed seven percent (7%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided, however, that neither the Threshold nor the Cap shall apply to Losses arising from a Breach of any Fundamental Representation or Breach of any of those representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.9 (tax matters), 3.10(f) (tax elections) or 3.15 (employee benefit plans) or in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses under Sections 6.2(d), 8.2 and 8.3, such amount shall exclude special and punitive damages, except in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct and except to the extent such damages were actually awarded, paid or incurred in a third party claim.

(c) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses under Sections 6.2(d), 8.2 and 8.3, such amount shall be (i) reduced by (A) any amount actually received by an indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage, net of any costs incurred in connection with the collection thereof, including deductibles and self-insured retentions, and (B) any related Tax benefit (net of any costs or expenses (including any Tax) incurred in connection with seeking and securing such Tax benefit) actually realized by an indemnitee in the taxable period of the Loss (other than in the case of Section 6.2(d) in which case such Tax benefit need not be realized in the taxable period of the Loss), and (ii) increased by any net Tax cost incurred

by an indemnitee arising from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder. In any case where an indemnified person recovers under insurance policies any amount in respect of a matter for which such indemnified person was indemnified pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 8.3, such indemnified person shall promptly pay over to indemnifying person (and if the Sellers are the indemnifying persons, to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the actual amount of such net insurance proceeds, net of any costs incurred in connection with the collection thereof, including deductibles and self-insured retentions, and (y) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by or on behalf of the indemnifying persons with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of amounts specified in the immediately preceding sentence. Each indemnified person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect amounts available under insurance coverages; provided that (i) doing so is commercially reasonable and (ii) such obligation shall not be a condition to, or a limitation on, indemnification rights hereunder.

(d) For purposes of determining the amount of any Losses under Sections 6.2(d), 8.2 and 8.3, any materiality qualifiers (including Material Adverse Effect), or monetary thresholds to similar effect contained in the applicable representation and warranty shall be deemed to be deleted and shall be given no force or effect.

(e) The parties agree to treat any indemnification payments made by or on behalf of Sellers pursuant to Section 6.2(d) and this Section 8 as adjustments to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes (which treatment Buyers and the Sellers acknowledge is consistent with current Tax provisions of applicable Legal Requirements) unless they are required to treat such payments otherwise as a result of a change in the Tax provisions of applicable Legal Requirements or interpretation thereof in a court case or binding regulation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and other than in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct of such Seller, no Seller’s aggregate liability for claims for indemnification of Losses, including indemnification under Section 6.2(d), shall exceed that portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any claim for Losses to the extent that the amount thereof, if any, was reflected in the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b).

8.5

PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION—THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

(a) Except with respect to Tax Claims, which are addressed in Section 6.2(e), promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 8.2 or 8.3 of any Proceeding, claim or demand against it or if an indemnified party shall otherwise learn of an assertion of a potential claim by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (or an Affiliate thereof) (a “Third-Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against an indemnifying party under this Agreement, then the indemnified party shall as promptly as practicable send notice in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third-Party Claim (including the factual basis for the Third-Party Claim, and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third-Party Claim) to the indemnifying party (or if the indemnifying party is the Sellers, to the Seller Representative), but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any

liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyers hereby gives, and will be deemed to have given, all required notices with respect to the Third-Party Claims for which indemnification is provided in Sections 8.2(a)(iv) and 8.2(a)(v) of this Agreement, and Buyers will be deemed to have fulfilled all requirements of this Section 8.5(a) with respect to such Third-Party Claims.

(b) If any Third-Party Claim referred to in Section 8.5(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Third-Party Claim and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnifying party will have fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of a notice of a Third-Party Claim from an indemnified party pursuant to Section 8.5(a) to assume the defense thereof; provided however, that with respect to the Third-Party Claims for which indemnification is provided in Sections 8.2(a)(iv) and 8.2(a)(v) of this Agreement, the indemnifying party may, subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.5(b), assume the defense there of at any time upon fifteen calendar days prior written notice. If the indemnifying party does not, or is not pursuant to the preceding two sentences permitted to, assume the defense of a proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume the defense and employ separate counsel to represent such indemnified party and the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by such indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Third-Party Claim and the indemnifying party does not, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

8.6

PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION—OTHER CLAIMS

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

8.7

SATISFACTION OF CLAIMS

In the event of a Breach by a particular Seller under Section 8.2(b), indemnification for such Breach will be satisfied solely by such Seller (including from such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount).

(b) Claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Persons for indemnification under clause (iv) or (v) of Section 8.2(a) shall be satisfied first from the Litigation Escrow Amount and, if the Litigation Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such claim for indemnification, then, (x) directly from Compass for Compass’ Pro Rata Percentage of such claim and (y) with respect to Sellers other than Compass, from the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount and if the Non-Public Stockholder Indemnification Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such claim for indemnification, then directly from Sellers (other than Compass), severally and not jointly for such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of such claim.

On the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, RGF and the Seller Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to release the then existing Litigation Escrow Amount, less the amount of pending claims for indemnification under clauses (iv) or (v) of Section 8.2(a) that have been properly asserted by the Buyer Indemnified Persons, to Sellers in accordance their Pro Rata Percentage to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

8.9

ROLE OF SELLER REPRESENTATIVE

Except for claims for indemnification arising under Section 8.2(b)(i), in all instances where Sellers are the indemnifying party, only the Seller Representative may assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim under Section 8.5(b) or a claim under Section 8.6.

No due diligence review, audit or other investigation or inquiry undertaken or performed by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall limit, qualify, modify or amend the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company or the Sellers or the indemnities by the Sellers contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, irrespective of the knowledge and information received (or which should have been received) therefrom by or on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Persons. The parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties also operate as bargained for promises and risk allocation devices and that, accordingly, any party’s knowledge, and 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, shall not affect the right to indemnification or payment for any Losses pursuant to Section 6.2 or this Section 8.

(iv) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that Seller Representative, in its reasonable discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the Contemplated Transactions, and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or executed in connection herewith.

(b) The Seller Representative shall cause to be established with CGM (the “Holdback Agent”) a separate account to hold the Seller Expense Holdback Amount. Such amounts shall be held by the Holdback Agent and used to satisfy obligations of the Sellers pursuant only to Section 9.12(e). The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the aggregate amount payable to each Seller at Closing shall be reduced by such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Seller Expense Holdback Amount and that the Holdback Agent shall not have the authority to distribute any portion thereof except at the direction of the Seller Representative in accordance with Section 9.12(e).

In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from Seller Representative to the Sellers as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each Seller shall promptly deliver to or as otherwise directed in writing by Seller Representative full payment of his or its ratable share of the amount of such deficiency.

(d) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to Seller Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of this Agreement. The Sellers hereby agree and acknowledge that the Buyers shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement without any requirement or duty to confirm with or have validated by any Seller such actions or omissions, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Sellers.

(e) Any and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the performance of its duties as Seller Representative under this Agreement (including any fees and expenses of legal counsel retained by the Seller Representative) will not be the personal obligations of the Seller Representative but will be payable, and will be promptly paid or reimbursed, by Sellers pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages; provided, however, each Seller hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Seller Representative is and shall be authorized to cause the Holdback Agent to either directly pay or reimburse it for up to the Seller Expense Holdback Amount (plus accrued interest, if any) of such costs and expenses; provided further, however, that the Seller Representative shall cause the Holdback Agent to distribute to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of any portion of the Seller Expense Holdback Amount (plus accrued interest, if any) remaining with the Holdback Agent promptly following the third anniversary or this Agreement.

directors, managers, stockholders, limited partners, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (individually a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, Proceedings (including those arising out of or in any way related to any Legal Requirement prohibiting discrimination on the basis of age, race, color, religion, disability, sex, national origin, citizenship or other protected classification, including, without limitation, claims under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and the Americans With Disabilities Act), Orders, obligations, rights of indemnification, contribution or subrogation, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, by statute, at law and in equity (the “Released Claims”) which such Seller (or any of its Affiliates, or Related Persons) now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against the respective Releasees (i) arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing or (ii) on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing and, in either case, related to the ownership of the Shares, service as an officer or director of any of the Acquired Companies, or the business and affairs of any of the Acquired Companies, including, without limitation, all such Released Claims arising under or in connection with any financing, guaranty or other financial accommodation (and all subrogation rights that may arise in the future on account thereof), investment, advance, loan, lease, provision of goods or services, Contracts or other undertaking or transaction entered into with or on behalf of the Acquired Companies by any such Seller (or any of its Affiliates or Related Persons); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any obligation (i) of the Acquired Companies or the Buyers arising pursuant to this Agreement or the other documents delivered in connection herewith, or (ii) pursuant to any employment arrangement. Each Seller acknowledges that it may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this release and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this release, may have materially affected its willingness to enter into this release.

9.15

GOVERNING LAW

9.16

(c) Each party hereby (i) consents to service of process in any Proceeding between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement in any manner permitted by New York law, (ii) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.4, will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Proceeding and (iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such Proceeding any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) does not constitute good and valid service of process.

9.17

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event that there is a Breach by such party of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such Breach, it will not assert that the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

9.18

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
