If, after the Effective Time, BRINC Share Certificates are presented to Kenexa Technology, they shall be canceled, delivered to Parent and exchanged for the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, as provided in this Article II.

(f) Any portion of the Initial Merger Consideration made available to Parent pursuant to this Article II that remains unclaimed by Equityholders on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date will be returned to Kenexa Technology upon demand. Any such Equityholder who has not exchanged BRINC Share Certificates for the applicable portion of the Initial Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II prior to that time thereafter will look only to Kenexa Technology or the Escrow Agent, if applicable, for payment of any applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof. None of Kenexa Technology, BRLLC or BRINC shall be liable to any Equityholder for cash from the Membership Units Consideration or Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Section 2.12. Treatment of Options and Warrants.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, BRINC shall accelerate in full the vesting and exercisability of all BRINC Options outstanding under the BRINC Option Plans (the “Accelerated Options”) and, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, shall deliver to each holder of Accelerated Options, along with an Information Statement, notice of such acceleration and the exercisability of such Accelerated Options for a period of 15 days as specified in the BRINC Option Plans.

(b) Upon exercise of any BRINC Options prior to the Effective Time, the corresponding Membership Unit Options shall also be exercised. Prior to or at the Effective Time, BRINC and BRLLC shall effect the termination of all outstanding BRINC Options and Membership Unit Options that are not exercised prior to the Effective Time.

(c) BRINC will (i) terminate the BRINC Option Plans immediately prior to or at the Effective Time, (ii) grant no additional BRINC Options after the date of this Agreement under the BRINC Option Plans and (iii) grant or enter into, in each case after the date of this Agreement, no other options, warrants, rights, convertible securities or other agreements or commitments pursuant to which BRINC would be required to issue any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock.

Section 2.13. Withholding Rights. Each of BRLLC, BRINC, Kenexa Technology, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration

otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as they may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Laws with respect to Taxes. If BRLLC, BRINC, Kenexa Technology, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds any such amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid on behalf of the applicable Person in respect of which BRLLC, BRINC, Kenexa Technology, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.14. Working Capital Adjustments.

(a) (i) The parties have contemplated that the Working Capital of BRLLC as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), as calculated in accordance with this Agreement and the Statement of Net Working Capital attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Form Working Capital Statement”), will equal the Working Capital Target.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with this Agreement (including Exhibit A to this Agreement and Section 2.15) and with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in preparation of the Audited Financial Statements; provided, however, that (1) Working Capital shall be calculated to exclude (A) any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments, or (B) other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(a)(ii), to the extent any provision of this Section 2.14(a)(ii) is inconsistent with Exhibit A attached hereto, the provisions of such Exhibit A shall prevail and be controlling.

(b) No later than four (4) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing, BRLLC shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Kenexa Technology, a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of BRLLC attaching a reasonable and good faith estimate of the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated Working Capital shall be calculated in the same manner as Working Capital is to be calculated pursuant to this Agreement and shall be presented in the same form as the Form Working Capital Statement. Upon delivery of the Estimated Working Capital to Kenexa Technology, BRLLC shall provide Kenexa Technology and its representatives with reasonable access to the officers, employees, agreements and books and records of BRLLC and BRINC to verify the reasonableness of such amount.

(c) In the event that the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target (the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target shall be referred to herein as the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”), then, at Closing: (i) the Enterprise Value (and as a result, the Net Enterprise Value, the Membership Units Consideration and the Merger Consideration) shall be reduced by an amount equal to one half of the Estimated Working Capital Deficiency and (ii) the Indemnity Escrow

Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to one half of the Estimated Working Capital Deficiency.

(d) Kenexa Technology shall cause to be prepared and, as soon as practical, but in no event later than 120 days after the Closing Date, shall cause to be delivered to the Representative, a calculation of the Closing Working Capital (the “Initial Calculation”), together with such schedules and data with respect to the determination of the Closing Working Capital as may be reasonably necessary to support such Initial Calculation and allow for its verification and a report of BDO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP on the Initial Calculation, which report shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. The Initial Calculation shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement (including in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.14(a)(ii), Section 2.15 and Exhibit A attached hereto) and shall be in the same form as the Form Working Capital Statement. Kenexa Technology agrees that, following the Closing through the date that the Closing Working Capital becomes final and binding on the parties hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it will not take, and it will not permit the Surviving Corporation, BRLLC or any of their respective Subsidiaries to take, any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Closing Working Capital is to be based or derived from that would impede or delay the determination of the Closing Working Capital in the manner and utilizing the methods required by this Agreement.

(e) If the Representative disagrees in whole or in part with the Initial Calculation, then within 60 days after its receipt of the Initial Calculation, it shall notify Kenexa Technology of such disagreement in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of any such disagreement; provided, however, that any such objection shall be limited to any failure to prepare the Initial Calculation in accordance with this Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Exhibit A, any inaccuracy in any supporting data or failure of Kenexa Technology to provide any existing supporting documentation, and to mathematical or similar errors. During such 60-day period, the Representative shall have access to the working papers, schedules and calculations of Kenexa Technology used in the preparation of the Initial Calculation and the determination of Closing Working Capital. To be effective, any such Notice of Disagreement shall include a copy of Kenexa Technology’s Initial Calculation marked to indicate those specific line items that are in dispute (the “Disputed Line Items”) and shall be accompanied by the Representative’s calculation of each of the Disputed Line Items and the Representative’s revised Initial Calculation setting forth its determination of the Closing Working Capital. To the extent the Representative provides a Notice of Disagreement within such 60-day period, all items that are not Disputed Line Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event that the Representative does not provide a -Notice of Disagreement within such 60-day period, the Representative shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Initial Calculation as prepared by Kenexa Technology, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any Notice of Disagreement is timely provided and contains the proper information as aforesaid, Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 60 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any Disputed Line Items. During such 60-day period, Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall have access to the working papers, schedules and calculations of the other used in the preparation of the Initial Calculation and the Notice of Disagreement and the determination of the Closing Working Capital and Disputed

Line Items. If, at the end of such period, Kenexa Technology and the Representative are unable to resolve such Disputed Line Items, then ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or, failing such independent accounting firm’s willingness to so serve, such other independent accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall resolve any remaining Disputed Line Items; provided, however, if Kenexa Technology and the Representative are unable to so agree within 5 days after ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP informs either Kenexa Technology or the Representative of its unwillingness to so serve (the “Decline Date”), then within 10 days after the Decline Date, each of Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall select an office of an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing and such two firms shall, within 15 days after the Decline Date, then select a third independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to resolve any remaining Disputed Line Items (any such accountants selected pursuant to this Section 2.14 to resolve Disputed Line Items, the “Settlement Accountants”). Kenexa Technology and the Representative will enter into reasonable and customary arrangements for the services to be rendered by the Settlement Accountants under this Section 2.14. The Settlement Accountants shall determine as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 60 days from the date that the dispute is submitted to it), whether the Initial Calculation was prepared in accordance with this Section 2.14, Section 2.15 and Exhibit A and whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Working Capital requires adjustment, limiting its review, however, only to the Disputed Line Items so submitted. The Settlement Accountants shall only resolve each Disputed Line Item by choosing the amounts submitted by either Kenexa Technology or the Representative for such Disputed Line Item. Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall each furnish to the Settlement Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as such Settlement Accountants may reasonably request. The determination of the Settlement Accountants shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid one half by each of Kenexa Technology and the Equityholders (acting through the Representative).

(f) “Negative Adjustment Amount” shall mean the amount by which (i) the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.14, is less than (ii) the Estimated Working Capital; provided, that if the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.14, is greater than or equal to the Estimated Working Capital, there shall be no Negative Adjustment Amount. “Positive Adjustment Amount” shall mean the amount by which (i) the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.14, is greater than (ii) the Working Capital Target; provided, that if the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.14, is less than or equal to the Working Capital Target, there shall be no Positive Adjustment Amount.

(g) If there is a Negative Adjustment Amount, then Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Indemnity Escrow Account to Kenexa Technology, BRLLC or the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Kenexa Technology, an amount equal to the Negative Adjustment Amount, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at a rate of interest of 4% per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in Article X, to the extent that any

portion of the Negative Adjustment Amount (together with the referenced interest) paid to Kenexa Technology, BRLLC or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 2.14(f) exceeds $1,000,000 (any such excess, an “Excess Negative Adjustment Amount”) and, as a result thereof, the Indemnity Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy claims by the Kenexa Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Article X (the amount of such insufficiency, the “Indemnity Escrow Amount Shortfall”), the applicable limitations of Section 10.2(c) shall not apply to limit the amount otherwise payable to Kenexa Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Article X and the Equityholders shall be severally but not jointly liable to the Kenexa Indemnified Parties for the Indemnity Escrow Amount Shortfall but only up to the Excess Negative Adjustment Amount.

(h) If there is a Positive Adjustment Amount, then Kenexa Technology or Parent shall promptly deposit such Positive Adjustment Amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account (to be held and disbursed in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement), and such Positive Adjustment Amount shall be allocated among the Equityholders in proportion to the respective portions of the Indemnity Escrow Amount allocated to Equityholders as set forth in Equityholder Allocation Statement.

(i) Any Negative Adjustment Amount or Positive Adjustment Amount paid pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Enterprise Value. For purposes of this Section 2.14, all computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Any payments made by any Person pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Closing Working Capital is final and binding on the parties.

Section 2.15. Calculations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto covenant and agree that no amount shall be (or is intended to be) included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or a reduction), more than once in the calculation of (including any component of) the Enterprise Value, the Net Enterprise Value, the Membership Units Consideration, the Merger Consideration, Estimated Working Capital or any other calculated amount pursuant to this Agreement if the effect of such additional inclusion (either as an increase or a reduction) would be to cause such amount to be over- or under-counted for purposes of such calculation. The parties hereto further covenant and agree that if any provision of this Agreement requires an amount or calculation to be “determined in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP” (or words of similar import), then to the extent that the terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit A) conflict with, or are inconsistent with, GAAP in connection with such determination, the terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit A) shall control.

Section 2.16. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of the capital stock of BRINC that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by Stockholders who have not voted in favor of, or consented in writing to, the Merger and who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance

with and complied in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and cease to exist and the holder or holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under Section 262 of the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

(b) BRINC shall give Kenexa Technology prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by BRINC, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by BRINC; provided that if any such demands, withdrawals or other related instruments are received by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and/or the Parent shall give such notice to the Representative rather than to Kenexa Technology. After the Effective Time, the Representative shall direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, BRINC shall not, except with the prior written consent of Kenexa Technology which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands. After the Effective Time, the Representative shall direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL, but shall not, except with the prior written consent of Kenexa Technology which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands. If, as a result of any settlement or a determination, any Stockholder is entitled to receive as payment for his or its shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock in an amount that exceeds the Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration, Series C Consideration, Series D Consideration, Series E Consideration or Series F Consideration, respectively, (the aggregate of such excess payments with respect to all Dissenting Shares is referred to as the “Dissenting Shares Reduction Amount”), then Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall provide joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Surviving Corporation by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Surviving Corporation, an amount equal to the Dissenting Shares Reduction Amount.

The Equityholders shall deliver each Final Tax Return to Kenexa Technology no later than 45 days prior to the due date for filing such Final Tax Return, for Kenexa Technology’s review and approval. Kenexa Technology shall be deemed to have approved a Final Tax Return unless it delivers a written notice of disagreement to the Representative within 10 days of the receipt of such Final Tax Return.

Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings and other determinations by taxing authorities, and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which any such party may possess. Each party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers, and all material records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of BRLLC, BRINC and any of their respective Subsidiaries for the Tax period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notice is provided with respect thereto, any extensions thereof) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

(c) Allocation of Certain Taxes.

(i) If BRLLC, BRINC or any of their respective Subsidiaries is permitted but not required under applicable Tax laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, then the parties shall treat that day as the last day of a taxable period.

(ii) In the case of any Taxes for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes, other than Income Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Income Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of BRLLC, BRINC and their respective Subsidiaries.

(d) Payment of Transfer Taxes and Fees. Kenexa Technology, on the one hand, and the Equityholders, on the other hand, each shall pay one half of all Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement and Kenexa Technology and the Equityholders shall file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(e) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax allocation or sharing agreements or other agreements or arrangements binding BRLLC, BRINC or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the day before the Closing Date and, from and

after the Closing Date, none of BRLLC, BRINC or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be obligated to make any payment to any Person pursuant to any such agreement or arrangement for any past or future period.

Section 9.3. Notification of Inquiry.

Section 9.5. No Recourse Against Customers. In the event any taxing authority shall assess any sales, goods and services or other similar Taxes, or in the event any Kenexa Indemnified Party shall submit a claim for indemnification with respect to such Taxes hereunder, the Equityholders shall have no recourse against, and no Equityholder shall seek reimbursement from, the customers of BRLLC, BRINC or their respective Subsidiaries with respect to which such Taxes shall have been assessed, provided, however, that the Kenexa Indemnified Parties shall use commercial reasonable efforts to seek reimbursement for such Taxes from the customer before seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 9.6. Miscellaneous.

(c) The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall, subject to Section 2.14(g) and Section 10.2(d), be the sole and exclusive recourse of Kenexa Indemnified Parties with respect to any Damages for which indemnification is provided pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Section 9.1, other than with respect to claims for (A) actual fraud, (B) defects in the title of any Membership Units or Shares, (C) any Encumbrance on Membership Units or Shares or (D) a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.1(a), Section 3.2(a), Section 3.2(b), Section 3.2(c), Section 3.2(d), Section 3.3, Section 3.5, Section 3.24, Section 4.1, Section 4.5, Section 3.11(b), Section 3.13 and Section 3.14.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2(c), any claims described in clauses (A) through (D) of Section 10.2(c) shall first be brought against the

Indemnity Escrow Account; provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate distributions from the Indemnity Escrow Account for any such claims (“Fundamental Representation Distributions”) diminish the Indemnity Escrow Amount so that the Indemnity Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy other claims by the Kenexa Indemnified Parties which are otherwise limited to the Indemnity Escrow Amount, then: (i) in the case of any claims pursuant to clauses (A) through (C) of Section 10.2(c), the limitation to the Indemnity Escrow Amount set forth in Section 10.2(c) shall not apply to limit the amount payable to the Kenexa Indemnified Parties by any Equityholder to the extent (but only to the extent) of any Fundamental Representation Distributions for which such Equityholder is solely liable and (ii) in the case of any claims pursuant to clause (D) of Section 10.2(c), the limitation to the Indemnity Escrow Amount set forth in Section 10.2(c) shall not apply to limit the amount payable to the Kenexa Indemnified Parties severally by the Equityholders to the extent (but only to the extent) of any Fundamental Representation Distributions for which the Equityholders are severally liable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2(c) or Section 10.2(d): (i) no Equityholder shall be liable for Damages pursuant to clauses (A) through (D) of Section 10.2(c) in excess of that portion of the Net Enterprise Value received by such Equityholder, and (ii) each Equityholder shall be solely liable for Damages related to defects in the title to or Encumbrances on his, her or its Membership Units or Shares or his, her or its actual fraud.

(f) Damages, as used in this Article X, shall not be limited to Damages incurred or sustained in connection with matters asserted by third parties, but shall also include Damages incurred or sustained by a Kenexa Indemnified Party in the absence of third party claims. The amount of Damages shall be calculated as further provided in Section 10.7. No party hereto will be liable to another party hereunder for any punitive, consequential, incidental or special damages, including loss of revenue or income, diminution in value, business interruption, cost of capital or loss of business reputation or opportunity, relating to any claim for which such party may be entitled to recover under this Agreement other than damages relating to a claim for actual fraud of such party; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes payable by a Kenexa Indemnified Party (for purposes of this proviso only, “Kenexa Indemnified Party” includes BRINC, BRLLC and their respective Subsidiaries) as the result of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty contained in Section 3.13 shall constitute Damages for purposes of this Article X; provided, further that if a Kenexa Indemnified Party makes such a claim for Damages, the Kenexa Indemnified Parties shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative with reasonable access to the Tax books and records of BRLLC, BRINC and the relevant Kenexa Indemnified Party or Kenexa Indemnified Parties for purposes of responding to any such claim for Damages.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in Article IX or this Article X to the contrary, no Kenexa Indemnified Party or its successors or assigns shall have any right or entitlement to indemnification from the Equityholders for any Damages relating to any matter arising under the provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any such Kenexa Indemnified Party or its successors and assigns had already recovered Damages with respect to the same matter pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement.

(h) Any payments made pursuant to Article IX or this Article X shall constitute an adjustment to the Net Enterprise Value for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by the parties hereto and the Surviving Corporation on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by law.

Section 10.3. Limitation on Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Equityholders shall not be liable under Article IX or this Article X unless and until (i) with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(xiii), the aggregate Damages for which the Equityholders would otherwise be liable under this Article X exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) with respect to any one Off-the Shelf Software License (at which point the Equityholders shall become liable for the aggregate Damages with respect to any one such Off-the Shelf Software License and not just amounts which exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)) or Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) with respect to all Off-the-Shelf Software Licenses in the aggregate (at which point the Equityholders shall become liable for the aggregate Damages with respect to all such Off-the Shelf Software Licenses and not just amounts which exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)), and (ii) with respect to all other claims for indemnification under Article IX or this Article X, the sum of the Negative Adjustment Amount, if any, and the aggregate Damages for which they would otherwise be liable under Article IX and this Article X exceed $400,000 (at which point the Equityholders shall become liable for the aggregate Damages under Article IX and this Article X and not just amounts which, together with any Negative Adjustment Amount, exceed $400,000).

Section 10.4. Notice of Claims.

(a) Any Kenexa Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall, within the limitation period provided for in Section 10.1 above, give to the Representative, a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided, further, that failure to give such written notice shall not relieve the Equityholders of their obligations hereunder, except to the extent they shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Equityholders, acting through the Representative, shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice or (ii) provide such Kenexa Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of any Dispute Notice, the Representative and the Kenexa Indemnified Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the giving of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at law. If the Representative agrees to the Claim Notice pursuant to clause (i) above or fails to provide a timely Dispute Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the

Kenexa Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from the Indemnity Escrow Account the amount set forth in the Claim Notice, and Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall promptly execute a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release such amount to such Kenexa Indemnified Party.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not apply in the case of a Claim Notice provided in connection with a claim by a third Person made against a Kenexa Indemnified Party, which claims are provided for by Section 10.6.

Section 10.5. Mitigation; Exclusivity of Remedy. Upon any Kenexa Indemnified Party becoming aware of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought by such Kenexa Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IX or this Article X, a Kenexa Indemnified Party shall utilize all reasonable efforts, consistent with normal practices and policies and good commercial practice, to mitigate such Damages. From and after the Effective Time, the remedies in Article IX and this Article X shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties with respect to any and all matters covered by Article IX or this Article X (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5, no party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies if and to the extent such rights, claims, causes of action or remedies may not be waived under applicable law, or actual fraud, intentional misrepresentation or active concealment is proven on the part of a party by another party hereto, and such rights, claims, causes of action or remedies shall not be limited to the Indemnity Escrow Account.

Section 10.6. Third Person Claims. If a claim by a third Person is made against a Kenexa Indemnified Parties, and if such party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article X, such Kenexa Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify the Representative in writing of such claims, setting forth such claims in reasonable detail. The Equityholders, acting through the Representative, shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to undertake through counsel of their own choosing and at their own expense, the conduct of the settlement or defense thereof, and if the Equityholders so undertake, then they will control such settlement and defense and the Kenexa Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Equityholders in connection therewith; provided, that the Kenexa Indemnified Parties may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Kenexa Indemnified Parties and paid at its own expense; provided, further, that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Kenexa Indemnified Parties, there is a reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest between the Equityholders and the Kenexa Indemnified Parties, the Equityholders shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to Kenexa Indemnified Parties in connection with such defense. So long as the Representative is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Kenexa Indemnified Parties shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Representative does not notify the Kenexa Indemnified Parties in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Kenexa Indemnified Parties’ written notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that the Equityholders are electing to undertake the defense thereof, the Kenexa Indemnified Parties shall have the right to undertake, at the Equityholders’ cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim, but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.6, the Equityholders shall pay the Kenexa Indemnified Parties’ reasonable,

documented expenses as and when incurred, provided that until the General Survival Date, such expenses shall first be paid out of the Indemnity Escrow Account to the extent of funds available therein. The Representative shall not, except with the consent of the Kenexa Indemnified Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into any settlement or consent to entry of any judgment that (a) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim to all Kenexa Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all Liability with respect to such claim, (b) involves non-monetary relief or remedy, including any restrictions on the Kenexa Indemnified Parties’ ability to operate or compete, or (c) exceeds the remaining amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account.

Section 10.7. Calculation of Damages. The amount of any Damage for which indemnification is provided shall be (a) net of any reserves or current liabilities included in the final determination of Closing Working Capital, (b) net of any amounts recovered by the Kenexa Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Damages and (c) computed after taking into account all Tax consequences to the Kenexa Indemnified Party of (i) the receipt of (or the right to receive) the indemnification payment and (ii) the event or the incurrence of the liability that has given rise to the right to receive the indemnification payment. Thus, it is the intention of the parties that the Kenexa Indemnified Party be held harmless with respect to the liability that gave rise to the indemnification payment on an after-Tax basis. In the event that any claim for indemnification asserted hereunder is, or may be, the subject of any insurance coverage or other right to indemnification or contribution from any third Person, the Kenexa Indemnified Party expressly agrees to promptly notify the applicable insurance carrier of any such claim or loss and tender defense thereof to such carrier, and shall also promptly notify any potential third party indemnitor or contributor which may be liable for any portion of such losses or claims. The Kenexa Indemnified Party agrees to pursue such claims diligently and to reasonably cooperate with each applicable insurance carrier and third party indemnitor or contributor. The Kenexa Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recoveries under insurance policies and shall reimburse the Equityholders for any Damage indemnified by the Equityholders, which is subsequently recovered by the Kenexa Indemnified Party under any such insurance.

Section 10.8. Appointment of the Representative.

(a) The Selling Members and the Accel Parties hereby appoint and, in the event that the Merger is approved by the Requisite BRINC Vote, effective upon the Requisite BRINC Vote and without the further act of any Person, the other Stockholders and Optionholders shall be deemed to have appointed, the Representative as each Equityholder’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to execute in the name and on behalf of such Equityholder the Escrow Agreement and to make all decisions with respect to the defense and/or settlement of any claims for which a Kenexa Indemnified Party may claim to be entitled to indemnity under Article IX or this Article X and with respect to disbursements from the Indemnity Escrow Account. The Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Representative.

(b) Each Equityholder that accepts payment of any consideration in respect of the Transactions as contemplated herein shall be deemed, by such acceptance of payment, or by his, her or its execution of a Letter of Transmittal, or by the approval of this Agreement, as the case may be, to have agreed that the provisions of Article IX or this Article X shall be binding upon such Equityholder and the successors and assigns of such Equityholder.

(c) In addition, each Equityholder that accepts payment of any consideration in respect of the Transactions as contemplated herein shall be deemed, by such acceptance of payment, or by his, her or its execution of the Letter of Transmittal, or by the approval of this Agreement, as the case may be, to have acknowledged and agreed that neither he, she or it nor any of his, her or its respective Affiliates will have any claims or rights to contribution or indemnity from Parent, Kenexa Technology, Acquisition Sub, BRLLC, BRINC, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the respective Affiliates of the foregoing Persons with respect to any amounts paid by any Equityholder pursuant to Article IX or this Article X or any liabilities that such Equityholder may have for actual fraud, provided, that nothing contained in this Section 10.8(c) shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release by any Person of any rights to indemnification from BRLLC, BRINC or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Operating Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of BRINC or any applicable policy of director and officer liability insurance.

(d) The Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by any Equityholder, Parent, Kenexa Technology or Acquisition Sub, or any other evidence deemed by the Representative to be reliable. The Representative shall be fully justified in failing or refusing or take any action under this Agreement unless it shall have received such advice or concurrence of the Equityholders as it deems appropriate or unless it shall have been expressly indemnified to its satisfaction by the Equityholders severally against any and all liability and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Representative shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of Equityholders who have a right to receive a majority of the Net Enterprise Value paid to the Equityholders, and such request, and any such action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Equityholders.

(e) The Representative shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder except in the case of its intentional wrongdoing for personal benefit. The Representative shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its choosing and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel.

(f) The Representative shall not be paid any fee for services to be rendered hereunder. The Representative shall be reimbursed from the Indemnity Escrow Account for up to $35,000 of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Representative in performing its duties hereunder (including under Sections 2.14 and 2.17 and Articles IX and X) or under the Escrow Agreement and thereafter by the Equityholders for all such reasonable fees and expenses in excess of $35,000.

(g) The Equityholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold the Representative harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, attorneys’ fees, and disbursements that may be imposed on the Representative or incurred by the Representative in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or involving their subject matter, unless such loss, liability, claim or expense shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of the Representative’s intentional wrongdoing or for personal benefit. Except in the case of fraud by an Equityholder, such Equityholder’s liability under Article IX or this Article X shall not exceed the portion of the Net Enterprise Value received by such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Representative be liable to the Equityholders for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Representative has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

(h) The Representative may resign at any time. The Representative may be removed at any time by a writing signed by Equityholders who have the right to receive a majority of the Net Enterprise Value paid or payable to the Equityholders. If the Representative or any successor shall resign, be so removed, or become unable to act as the Representative, a replacement shall promptly be appointed by a writing signed by Equityholders who have the right to receive a majority of the Net Enterprise Value paid or payable to the Equityholders. The Representative shall promptly notify Kenexa Technology and the Escrow Agent of any such resignation, removal or appointment.

(i) Parent, Kenexa Technology, Acquisition Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the actions taken by the Representative, and that each action taken by the Representative shall be binding on each of the Equityholders as if such action had been performed by each such Equityholder. The Equityholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Kenexa Indemnified Parties and the Escrow Agent from and against any losses that any Kenexa Indemnified Party or the Escrow Agent may suffer, sustain or become subject to as the result of any claim by any of the Equityholders that an action taken by the Representative purportedly on behalf of the Equityholders pursuant to the authorization in Article IX or this Article X is not binding on or enforceable against any of the Equityholders.

Section 10.9. Disbursements from the Escrow Account. If any Kenexa Indemnified Party shall be entitled, upon completion of any applicable dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article IX or this Article X, to recover any amounts from the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement, Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall promptly provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver such amounts to Kenexa Technology (or any Person designated by Kenexa Technology). If, after the General Survival Date, there are any amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, then each Equityholder shall be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata share (in proportion to his, her or its allocated portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount as set forth in the Equityholder Allocation Statement) of such amounts, and Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver such amounts, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to

an account, in the name of Parent, as agent; provided, however, that if prior to the General Survival Date, the Representative has received one or more Claim Notices which set forth indemnification claims under Article IX or this Article X for Damages that are unresolved on the General Survival Date, then an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of the aggregate Damages claimed in, and reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with, each such unresolved Claim Notice, or (b) the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent in the Indemnity Escrow Account to pay such claims and any other amounts associated therewith that are payable pursuant to Article IX or this Article X; and provided further, from time to time promptly after final resolution of each such indemnification claim set forth in any such Claim Notice, the Representative and Kenexa Technology will authorize the Escrow Agent to disburse all amounts remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account to Parent, as payment agent, in the same manner as described above, subject to the condition that if at such time there remains unresolved any claim for Damages described in any Claim Notice, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the aggregate Damages claimed in, and reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with, each such Claim Notice or (ii) the amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be maintained in the Indemnity Escrow Account. Kenexa Technology and the Representative shall direct and cause Parent, as payment agent, to transmit to each Equityholder his, her, or its pro rata share (in proportion to his, her or its allocated portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount as set forth in the Equityholder Allocation Statement) of any amounts paid by the Escrow Agent to Parent, as payment agent, pursuant to the second sentence of Section 10.9 promptly upon receipt of such amounts by Parent.
