2.7 Conversion of Stock and Options.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the Initial Step and without any action on the part of any holder of Common Stock, subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 3.2, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock (i) to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.7(d), or (ii) held by any Stockholder who is entitled to and properly demands an appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and complies in all respects with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration, payable to the holder thereof without interest in accordance with Section 3.1 (B) the Per Share Buyer Common Stock Consideration, payable to the holder thereof without interest in accordance with Section 3.1, (C) the Contingent Per Share Amount, if any, if and when distributed, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and (D) the Earn-Out Obligation Per Share Amount, if any, if and when distributed, in accordance with Section 3.3 (collectively, the “Aggregate Per Share Consideration”). From and after the First Effective Time, all such shares of Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Common Stock (a “Stockholder”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Aggregate Per Share Consideration. Any Dissenting Share shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Aggregate Per Share Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), but instead shall be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL. From and after the First Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), if any holder of Common Stock who demands appraisal or purchase of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal or purchase, as of the later of the First Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares of Common Stock shall no longer be deemed Dissenting Shares pursuant to this Agreement and each such share of Common Stock shall automatically be converted into, and represent only, the right to receive the Aggregate Per Share Consideration as provided in this Section 2.7(a) an amount in cash, without interest thereon, equal to the Closing Per Share Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2, if applicable.

25

(b) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the Initial Step and without any action on the part of Buyer, LLC Sub or Merger Sub, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Interim Corporation.

(c) Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause, effective as of the First Effective Time, each Option outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time to be canceled in exchange for the right to receive, subject to the requirements of Section 3.1(c) hereof, (A) an amount equal to the Net Exercise Value in respect of such Option, which shall be paid by a combination of (x) a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to forty percent (40%) of such Net Exercise Value plus (y) an amount of cash equal to sixty percent (60%) of such Net Exercise Value and (B) the Earn-Out Obligation Per Share Amount, if any, if and when distributed, in accordance with Section 3.3. Thereafter, without impairing the rights of Optionholders to receive payments to the extent set forth herein, Optionholders shall, as of the First Effective Time, cease to have any further rights or entitlements to acquire any Common Stock or any shares of capital stock or membership interests of the Company, Buyer or the Interim Corporation or the Surviving Company.

(d) Each share of Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock and, in each case, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without payment of any consideration therefor and without any further action on the part of the Company.

(e) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Subsequent Step and without any action on the part of LLC Sub, the Interim Corporation, the Surviving Company, Buyer or the holder of any equity interests of the Interim Corporation or the Surviving Company, (i) each share of common stock of the Interim Corporation shall be cancelled and extinguished without payment of any consideration therefor and (ii) each membership interest of the LLC Sub shall remain outstanding and represent membership interests of the Surviving Company.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if there are Dissenting Shares at Closing, Buyer may reduce the amount of any payment to the Company to the extent such payment would otherwise be made to holders of Dissenting Shares.

26

2.8 No Further Rights of Transfers 2.9. At and after the First Effective Time, each Securityholder shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder or option holder, as the case may be, of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law and except for, (a) in the case of a holder of shares of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.7(d)), the right to surrender such Common Stock in exchange for payment in accordance with Articles II and III, and no transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Interim Corporation or any successor; and (b) in the case of an Optionholder, the right to receive the payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (subject to adjustment in accordance with Article III) in respect of the Options held by such Optionholder immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Evidence of Common Stock Ownership presented to the Interim Corporation or any successor after the First Effective Time shall be canceled and exchanged for cash and Buyer Common Stock as provided in this Article II. At the First Effective Time the stock ledger of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall be closed.

2.10 Unaccredited Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties agree that Buyer shall not be obligated to issue any Buyer Common Stock to any Person that is unable to make the Private Placement Representations or who Buyer otherwise reasonably believes is not an Accredited Investor, as defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (an “Unaccredited Investor”). In any event where Buyer would be obligated to issue such shares to an Unaccredited Investor under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the option to pay such amounts in cash of equal value. In such event, in order such that Buyer is not obligated to pay more cash than it otherwise would have under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the option of paying each other recipient of Merger Consideration or Earn-Out Consideration proportionally more shares of Buyer Common Stock such that the aggregate amount of Buyer Common Stock issuable, and cash payable, under this Agreement is equal to what such amounts would have been had there been no Unaccredited Investors. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments to the amount of cash and Buyer Common Stock payable under this Agreement shall at all times remain subject to the terms of Section 3.1(f).

Article III

3.1 Exchange Procedures and Certificates; Closing Date Payments by Buyer.

(a) Exchange Procedures and Certificates. The Company will deliver, on the date hereof, to each Stockholder, a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Interim Corporation or successor will, promptly after the First Effective Time, deliver such letters of transmittal to any Person who was a Stockholder of record as of the First Effective Time who did not receive such materials prior to the First Effective Time. As of the First Effective Time and upon surrender by each Stockholder to the Company of duly executed stock transfer powers and a duly executed Letter of Transmittal, such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive forthwith, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof: the Closing Cash Consideration and the Closing Stock Consideration, and such Closing Cash Consideration shall be paid by Buyer or the Company, into the account which has been designated by each such Stockholder in such Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal and such Closing Stock Consideration shall be issued by Buyer or the Company in Buyer Common Stock, in book-entry form through DTC; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any Stockholder that prior to the Closing surrenders to the Buyer duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed stock transfer powers and a duly executed Letter of Transmittal shall be entitled to payment on the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 3.1; provided such Stockholder also provides to the Buyer the information required by Buyer’s transfer agent for issuance of such Closing Stock Consideration (the “DTC Information”) and has made the necessary representations and warranties to ensure that such Closing Stock Consideration may be issued pursuant to a “private placement” exemption or exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Private Placement Representations”) in the Voting and Support Agreement.

27

(b) Payments in respect of Common Stock. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, directly to the Stockholders, an aggregate amount of the Closing Cash Consideration applicable to each such Stockholder and (ii) issue, or cause to be issued an aggregate number of shares of the Closing Stock Consideration applicable to each such Stockholder in book-entry form through DTC; provided that such Stockholder has properly delivered such Stockholder’s Letter of Transmittal at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to Closing.

(c) Payments in respect of Options. On the Closing Date, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall (A) (i) pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company cash in an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate Net Exercise Value payable to all Optionholders who hold Options that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to Closing in accordance with Section 2.7(c), and (ii) cause the Interim Corporation or its successor to pay, or cause to be paid, to each Optionholder, the cash amount set forth opposite such Optionholder’s name on the Allocation Statement (which amount shall be equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Net Exercise Value with respect to the Options held by such Optionholder, subject to deduction of any applicable withholding Tax for both the cash payment and Buyer Common Stock issuance set forth in this Section 3.1(c)), such payments to be made by the Company on the next payroll date after receipt of an Equityholder Acknowledgment from such Optionholder, which such payroll date shall not be less than fourteen (14) Business Days after receipt of such Equityholder Acknowledgement and (B) issue, or cause to be issued an aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to forty percent (40%) of the Net Exercise Value with respect to the Options held by such Optionholder, as set forth opposite such Optionholder’s name on the Allocation Statement in book-entry form through DTC, following, and subject to, receipt of the Equityholder Acknowledgment.

28

(d) Payments in respect of Indemnification Escrow Amount and Adjustment Escrow Amount. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to such accounts as are designated by the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the sum of the Indemnification Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount. The Indemnification Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount, respectively, will not be used for any purpose except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow and released in accordance with Section 3.2 and the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow for a period equal to eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date in accordance with Section 8.2 and the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be available to settle certain contingencies as provided in Section 3.2 and Section 8.2 of this Agreement. Each Securityholder’s portion of any amounts contained in the Adjustment Escrow Amount and Indemnification Escrow Amount which are not issued or set aside for the satisfaction of such contingencies will be distributable to the Stockholders in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that if at the time any such distribution from the Indemnification Escrow Amount to the Stockholders is to be made, there is a pending claim against the Indemnification Escrow Amount (including but not limited to a claim for indemnification arising under Section 8.2 of this Agreement), the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount subject to such pending claim shall be retained by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement until the final resolution of such pending claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with any amounts so retained by the Escrow Agent to be distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholders within two (2) Business Days of such final resolution. All parties hereto agree for all Tax purposes that: (i) the right of the Securityholders to the Escrow Amount shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of U.S. state, or local or non-U.S. Law, as appropriate; and (ii) Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount solely for Tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Buyer pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8.

(e) Payments in respect of Funded Debt. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, the amount required to repay all Funded Debt set forth on Schedule 3.1(e) and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (the “Payoff Debt”); provided, however, that the Company shall obtain and deliver to Buyer payoff letters issued by each holder of the Payoff Debt not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which (A) sets forth the amounts required to repay in full all Payoff Debt owed to such holder on the Closing Date, (B) sets forth the wire transfer instructions for the repayment of such Payoff Debt to such holder, and (C) provides for the automatic release of all Liens granted by the Company to such holder or otherwise arising with respect to such Payoff Debt and the automatic termination of all loan and collateral documentation evidencing such Funded Debt, effective upon repayment of such Payoff Debt (collectively, the “Payoff Letters”).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if this Agreement would otherwise require a cash payment that would cause the total cash paid to the Stockholders in connection with the Merger Consideration and the Earn-Out Obligations to, in the aggregate, exceed sixty percent (60%) of the Merger Consideration and Earn-Out Obligations paid to the Stockholders, such payment shall instead be made in Buyer Common Stock based on the average volume weighted price of Buyer Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the 10-day trading period prior to the date that the payment is made.

29

3.2 Adjustment to Closing Per Share Price.

(a) Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver Buyer a written statement certified by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company (the “Estimated Statement”) reflecting the lesser of (A) the Cash Target or (B) the Company’s good faith estimate of Closing Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), setting forth a good faith estimate of the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”), and a good faith estimate of the Closing Debt (the “Estimated Debt”), identifying the estimated amount of such Closing Debt that is Funded Debt, each as of 11:59 PM prevailing eastern time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date based upon the accounting books and records of the Company (except that any Taxes included in such calculations shall be determined as of 11:59 PM prevailing eastern time on the Closing Date). The Estimated Statement shall be binding on the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, for purposes of this Section 3.2(a) and shall be used to determine the Closing Per Share Price. The Estimated Statement shall be compiled and calculated without giving effect to the Transactions. The Estimated Statement will also set forth (A) the name of each Person to receive a payment at the Closing under Section 2.7, (B) the cash amount payable to each such Person, (C) the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable to each such Person, (D) the value of Buyer Common Stock issuable to each such Person, (E) the Pro Rata Share for each such Person, (F) the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such Person, (G) the number of Options held by each such Person, (H) the information required by Buyer’s transfer agent in order to record shares of Buyer Common Stock in book-entry form at DTC for each such Person and (I) wire instructions for each such Person (the “Allocation Statement”). The Estimated Statement shall be prepared (and the estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be made) in accordance with this Agreement, including the Agreed Principles; provided, in the event that Buyer notifies the Company prior to the Closing that it disputes the Company’s estimate of the Closing Per Share Price or any component of the Estimated Statement, then Buyer and the Company shall cooperate in good faith (including providing reasonable information and supporting material in respect of such calculations) to resolve any such dispute as promptly as practicable, and modify the Estimated Statement and its component calculations as appropriate to reflect any agreed upon adjustments thereto, and the terms defined in this Section 3.2(a) shall be deemed to reflect any such agreed upon modifications. Subject to the foregoing, the Estimated Statement shall be binding on the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, for purposes of this Section 3.2(a) and shall be used to determine the Closing Per Share Price.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth: (i) Cash as of 11:59 PM prevailing eastern time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (“Closing Cash”); (ii) Net Working Capital as of 11:59 PM prevailing eastern time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”); (iii) Net Contract Position as of the Closing Date (“Closing Net Contract Position”) and (iii) Debt as of 11:59 PM prevailing eastern time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Debt”), identifying the amount of such Closing Debt that is Funded Debt, except that in each case any Taxes included in such calculations shall be determined as of 11:59 PM prevailing eastern time on the Closing Date. The determination of Net Working Capital reflected in the Closing Statement shall be prepared (and the estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be made) in accordance with this Agreement, including in a manner consistent with the Agreed Principles.

30

(c) During the forty-five (45) day period following receipt of the Closing Statement by the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative and its advisors shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to the Company, to reasonable access to the Company’s books and records and such other information as the Stockholders’ Representative shall reasonably request in order to review the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement (and the computation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Net Contract Position and Closing Debt) delivered by Buyer to the Stockholders’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding on all parties unless the Stockholders’ Representative, prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of the Closing Statement, delivers a notice to Buyer stating that the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with such calculation and specifying in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees and the basis therefor (any such notice, a “Dispute Notice”). The Stockholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement, and the calculation Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Net Contract Position or Closing Debt, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(b) that are not the subject of a Dispute Notice.

(d) If a Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(c), the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Net Contract Position and Closing Debt, as applicable. If during such period, the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause Deloitte & Touche LLP or such other independent accounting firm on which the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer mutually agree, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, as the case may be (the “Independent Accountant”), to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Net Contract Position and Closing Debt, as applicable (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Independent Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall not have any authority to interpret any provision of this Section 3.2 or any other provision of this Agreement). Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant and promptly provide, and Buyer shall cause the Company to provide, all documents and information requested by the Independent Accountant. In making such calculation, the Independent Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement, and the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Net Contract Position, Closing Working Capital or Closing Debt, as the case may be, as to which the Stockholders’ Representative has disagreed in its Dispute Notice duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(c). The Independent Accountant’s determination on each item in dispute shall not be greater than the greater value for such item claimed by either the Stockholders’ Representative or Buyer or less than the lower value for such item claimed by either the Stockholders’ Representative or Buyer. The Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall direct the Independent Accountant to deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of its engagement), a report setting forth such calculation. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer, shall be deemed a final arbitration award that is binding on Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative, and neither Buyer nor the Stockholders’ Representative shall seek further recourse to courts or other tribunals, other than to enforce such report. The Independent Accountant will determine the allocation of the cost of its review and report based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to Independent Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Stockholders’ Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Stockholders.

31

(e) The “Purchase Price Adjustment” will be an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (1) the Final Cash Adjustment, plus (2) the Final Working Capital Adjustment, minus (3) the Final Debt Adjustment, plus (4) the Final Net Contract Position Adjustment plus (5) the amount, if any, of any account receivable owing from H2B2 or its Affiliates as of the Closing to the extent (i) excluded from the calculation of Estimated Net Working Capital in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) received by the Company in cash or immediately available funds from or on behalf of H2B2 or its Affiliate, as applicable, prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number (the “Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), Buyer shall pay the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount as an adjustment to the dollar amount of the aggregate Closing Per Share Price in Buyer Common Stock to the Company for the benefit of, and for distribution in accordance with Section 3.2(g) to, the Stockholders. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number (the absolute value of such number, the “Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount”), Buyer shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash out of the Adjustment Escrow Amount in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Adjustment Escrow Amount and (ii) the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, and Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to make a payment to Buyer in an amount equal to the lesser of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence. Buyer, Merger Sub, and the Company acknowledge and agree that if the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Buyer shall be entitled, at its option, to obtain recourse from either or both the Indemnification Escrow Amount or the Stockholders directly, severally and not jointly, who shall be liable to and pay Buyer for any Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount that is in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount. If the Adjustment Escrow Amount is greater than the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to make a payment in an amount equal to the difference between the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Net Negative Purchase Price Adjustment Amount to the Stockholders’ Representative out of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, for the benefit of, and for distribution in accordance with Section 3.2(g) to, the Stockholders. To the extent the parties are in agreement that an amount should be paid either to (i) Buyer or (ii) the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders, and any dispute to be resolved under Section 3.2(d) relates only to the quantum of such amount, the amount not in dispute (being the lower of the amount proposed by Buyer and the amount proposed by the Stockholders’ Representative) shall be paid promptly to the appropriate party and any subsequent amount shall be paid in accordance with the final determination by the Independent Accountant of such amount and any remaining disputed items. In the event the Purchase Price Adjustment equals zero, the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to make a payment equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Stockholders’ Representative, for the benefit of, and for distribution in accordance with Section 3.2(g) to, the Stockholders.

32

(f) Any payment pursuant to Section 3.2(e) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within five (5) Business Days after Final Working Capital and Final Debt have been finally determined, by wire transfer by Buyer, the Stockholders or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of Buyer, in the event such payment is to be made to Buyer, or the Stockholders’ Representative, in the event such payment is to be made to the Stockholders, and, in each case Buyer and Stockholders’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly. All payments under this Section 3.2 shall be without interest, except that any amounts not paid when required by this Section 3.2 shall bear interest from the date due pursuant to this Section 3.2(f) to, and including, the date of payment at the Interest Rate.

(g) Promptly following receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of payment of the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, if any, and/or any amount paid from the Adjustment Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 3.2(e) or 3.2(f), the Stockholders’ Representative shall pay to each Stockholder, with respect to each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time held by such Stockholder for which a Letter of Transmittal has been properly surrendered, an amount equal to sum of (A) the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount Per Share, if any, and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Release Amount Per Share.

The Securityholders collectively (and with respect to each individual Securityholder, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) shall receive from Buyer, Earn-Out Obligation (the 2021 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, 2022 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, 2023 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, each a “Revenue Earn-Out Obligation” and, collectively, the “Revenue Earn-Out”) up to an aggregate amount equal to $6,000,000 upon satisfaction of the criteria set forth below.

(i) The Buyer shall deliver Securityholders, Earn-Out Consideration in an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the “2021 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation”) if for the calendar year period ending on December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Earn-Out Period”), the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) either (x) earns revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP from a combination of (a) PEM electrolyzer or electrochemical compression stack sales (including integrators and distributors on their behalf), (b) PEM electrolyzer or electrochemical compression system sales, provided that the value of any PEM fuel cells in such systems shall not be included in the calculation, and provided further that any systems sales made by Buyer or its Affiliates to Persons set forth in clause (c)(i) on Schedule 3.3 shall exclude from the calculation any material handling equipment currently supplied by Buyer or such Affiliates, and (c) PEM electrolyzer or electrochemical compression stacks or systems sold to Buyer or its Affiliates for its internal use or (y) records any incremental deferred revenue in accordance with GAAP in respect of cash receipts not subject to return or forfeiture in respect of the foregoing (excluding from foregoing clauses (x) and (y), any revenue or incremental deferred revenue and associated cash receipts, in each case, due to any sales or services to any Governmental Body or Giner Inc or its Affiliates for contract manufacturing, foregoing clauses (x) and (y) collectively with such exclusion, “Earn-Out Revenue”) of not less than $16,015,355 (the “2021 Earn-Out Revenue Target”) for the 2021 Earn-Out Period. If the Company fails to achieve Earn-Out Revenue for the 2021 Earn-Out Period that equals or exceeds the 2021 Earn-Out Revenue Target, the Securityholders shall not be entitled to any portion of the 2021 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, provided that (x) if the Company earns Earn-Out Revenue in the 2022 Earn-Out Period that exceeds the 2022 Earn-Out Revenue Target by an amount that equals or exceeds the amount by which the Company fell short of the 2021 Earn-Out Revenue Target (the “2021 Earn-Out Deficiency”), then the Securityholders shall be entitled to the 2021 Earn-Out Obligation at such time and in such manner as the 2022 Earn-Out Obligation is satisfied. If the Company fails to achieve Earn-Out Revenue for the 2021 Earn-Out Period that equals or exceeds the 2021 Earn-Out Revenue Target and the Company also fails to achieve Earn-Out Revenue in the 2022 Earn-Out Period that equals or exceeds the sum of the 2022 Earn-Out Revenue Target plus the 2021 Earn-Out Deficiency but the Company earns Earn-Out Revenue in the 2023 Earn-Out Period that equals or exceeds the sum of the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target plus the 2021 Earn-Out Deficiency, then the Securityholders shall be entitled to receive the 2021 Earn-Out Obligation at such time and in such manner as the 2023 Earn-Out is satisfied.

35

(ii) The Buyer shall deliver Securityholders Earn-Out Consideration in an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the “2022 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation”) if for the calendar year period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Earn-Out Period”), the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) earns Earn-Out Revenue that equals or exceeds $23,960,824 (the “2022 Earn-Out Revenue Target”) for the 2022 Earn-Out Period. If the Company fails to achieve Earn-Out Revenue for the 2022 Earn-Out Period that equals or exceeds the 2022 Earn-Out Revenue Target, the Securityholders shall not be entitled to any portion of the 2022 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, provided that (x) if the Company earns Earn-Out Revenue in the 2023 Earn-Out Period that exceeds the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target by an amount that equals or exceeds the amount by which the Company fell short of the 2022 Earn-Out Revenue Target (the “2022 Earn-Out Deficiency”) then the Securityholders shall be entitled to the 2022 Earn-Out Obligation at such time and in such manner as the 2023 Earn-Out Obligation is satisfied.

(iii) The Securityholders shall receive from Buyer, Earn-Out Obligation in an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the “2023 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation”) if for the calendar year period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Earn-Out Period”), the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) earns Earn-Out Revenue that equals or exceeds $42,072,216 (the “2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target”) for the 2023 Earn-Out Period. If the Company fails to achieve Earn-Out Revenue for the 2023 Earn-Out Period that equals or exceeds the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target, the Securityholders shall not be entitled to any portion of the 2023 Revenue Earn-Out Obligation. In order to earn both the 2021 Earn-Out Deficiency and the 2022 Earnout Deficiency in the 2023 Earn-Out Period, the Earn-Out Revenue in 2023 Earn-Out Period must exceed the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target by an amount that equals or exceeds the sum of the 2021 Earn-Out Deficiency and the 2022 Earn-Out Deficiency.

36

(iv) In addition, to the extent for the 2023 Earn-Out Period the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) earns Earn-Out Revenue that exceeds 150% of the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target, the Securityholders shall receive from Buyer additional Earn-Out Consideration in the form of warrants to purchase Buyer Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Warrants”). Such Earn-Out Warrants shall be on forms mutually agreed by the Buyer and Stockholder Representative and shall, among other things, provide that such Earn-Out Warrants are exercisable within two (2) years of issuance, that the exercise price for such Earn-Out Warrants shall be equal to the Buyer Warrants Common Stock Price per share, and the aggregate value of such Earn-Out Warrants shall be equal to $5,000,000 (in the event such revenue is greater than or equal to 150% of the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target but less than 200% of the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target), or $10,000,000 (in the event such revenue exceeds or equals 200% of the 2023 Earn-Out Revenue Target). The parties agree that the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock for which such Earn-Out Warrants are exercisable shall be determined by the parties utilizing the Black Scholes valuation method. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any issuance of the Earn-Out Warrants would result in a failure to comply with the terms of Section 3.1(f), the number and value of such Earn-Out Warrants to be issued shall be reduced at the discretion of the Shareholder Representative to the extent necessary such that the Earn-Out Warrants issued by Buyer will not result in a failure to comply with the terms of Section 3.1(f) (the amount of such reduction “Sacrificed Earn-Out Warrants”), and the Securityholders shall irrevocably forfeit rights to such Sacrificed Earn-Out Warrants. In such case, Buyer, at its sole discretion, may issue in lieu of such Sacrificed Earn-Out Warrants an amount of Buyer Common Stock equal in value the Sacrificed Earn-Out Warrants.

(v) In order to ensure such amounts are not attributable to both (a) the Revenue Earn-Out Obligation applicable to Section 3.3(b)(iii)-(iv) and (b) the Customer Earn-Out Obligation, to the extent the Buyer has made the Customer Earn-Out Obligation attributable to the satisfaction of the customer opportunity set forth in in Section 3.3(b)(iii) above, any Earn-Out Revenue attributable to the receipt of funds or commitments from the Department of Energy shall be reduced by $2,500,000. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Earn-Out Revenue for any given period includes any deferred revenue, to the extent any such deferred revenue is converted to GAAP-recognized revenue in a following Earn-Out Period, such revenue shall not be considered for purposes of calculating whether or not the Earn-Out Revenue for any other period has been satisfied or otherwise double counted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in the determination of whether or not any Revenue Earn-Out Obligation has been satisfied, (i) such Revenue Earn-Out Obligation was not satisfied and (ii) such Revenue Earn-Out Obligation would have been satisfied but for the exclusion of deferred revenue from the amount of Earn-Out Revenue in the applicable period solely by virtue of such excluded deferred revenue being subject to return or forfeiture, then the determination of the Revenue Earn-Out Obligation for the applicable period shall be deferred until the earlier of such time as either:

i. the amount of such deferred revenue still subject to return or forfeiture is insufficient in amount (together with all cash corresponding to other such deferred revenue that has at such time become no longer subject to return or forfeiture) to satisfy the applicable Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, in which case such Revenue Earn-Out Obligation shall no longer be susceptible to satisfaction and no amount shall be paid in connection therewith, or

37

ii. an amount of cash corresponding to such deferred revenue that is no longer subject to return or forfeiture is sufficient to satisfy the applicable Revenue Earn-Out Obligation, in which case, such Revenue Earn-Out Obligation shall be deemed satisfied and paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (such amounts to be satisfied, for such purposes within five (5) Business Days following the filing of Buyer’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the calendar year period in which such final determination was made).

(d) Upon satisfaction of the applicable criteria, Buyer shall pay to the Securityholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) the applicable Earn-Out Obligation, within five (5) Business Days following the filing of Buyer’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the applicable calendar year period, subject to the dispute resolution provision set forth in Section 3.3(e).

(e) Buyer shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and the Senior Lenders, by notice in writing at least annually (within five (5) Business Days following the filing of Buyer’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) of the progress against any Earn-Out Obligation not previously satisfied (each, an “Earn-Out Update”); provided, that, Buyer agrees to provide one additional mid-year update on or about the mid-point of the fiscal year upon the reasonable advanced written request of the Stockholders’ Representative requesting such update; provided, further that if any such mid-year update is requested by and provided to the Stockholders’ Representative, such mid-year update shall also be provided to the Senior Lenders.

(f) If any Earn-Out Obligation has not been previously satisfied, Buyer shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with its determination thereof in the applicable Earn-Out Update (the “Earn-Out Obligation Determination”), and shall include a reasonable explanation of the basis for such determination. If the Stockholders’ Representative has not objected to such Earn-Out Obligation Determination by written notice to Buyer within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt, such Earn-Out Obligation Determination shall be deemed the “Final Earn-Out Obligation Determination” and shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. If a written objection notice is timely delivered by the Stockholders’ Representative, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to reconcile such objections for a period of not less than thirty (30) days, and any mutual agreement as to the Earn-Out Obligation Determination achieved during such thirty (30) day period shall be final, conclusive and binding. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute in spite of their respective good faith commercially reasonable efforts for such thirty (30) days period, either Buyer or the Stockholders’ Representative may submit the items in dispute for determination to (i) in respect of the Allagash Earn-Out Obligation, an independent party of nationally recognized expertise in the manufacturing and operation of PEM electrolyzer stacks and systems (an “Independent Third Party”) mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative; provided that in the event the event that the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative cannot agree on an Independent Third Party, the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative may submit the items in dispute for determination to a committee comprising three Independent Third Parties, one of whom will be selected by the Buyer, one of whom will be selected by the Stockholders’ Representative and one of whom will be mutually selected by the Independent Third Parties selected by the Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative (the “Independent Third Party Committee”); and (ii) in respect of the Customer Earn-Out Obligations and Revenue Earn-Out Obligations, the Independent Accountant. In such event, the determination of the Independent Third Party, Independent Third Party Committee or the Independent Accountant, as applicable, which shall be limited narrowly to only such items as are in dispute, shall be deemed final, conclusive, and binding on the parties, and which together with any other agreed elements of the determination shall represent the Final Earn-Out Obligation Determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Third Party, Independent Third Party Committee or the Independent Accountant, as applicable, shall be allocated equally between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, on the other hand.

38

(g) Post-Closing Earn-Out Obligations of Buyer. Buyer and its Affiliates will not take any action, the primary purpose or intent of which is to hinder or adversely affect in any material respect the Securityholders’ ability to receive any Earn-Out Consideration. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, Buyer agrees to invest or spend (or commit resources and equipment of value equal to) at least Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) provided that no more than Seven-and-a-half Million Dollars ($7,500,000) shall be required to be invested or spent in the first seven (7) months after the closing, in both cases in general accordance with the investment schedule set forth on Exhibit H (the “Investment Schedule”) for the purpose of or related to supporting the development of the Company’s business, including the manufacturing, sales and systems ramp. The Buyer agrees not to modify the Investment Schedule in a manner materially adverse to the ability of the Securityholders to receive any Earn-Out Obligation without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if prior to the deadline for satisfying the applicable Earn-Out Criteria, either the Surviving Company or the Buyer transfers, sells, licenses, assigns, or permits direct or indirect Control over or to pass to, to any Person who is not an Affiliate of Buyer, the Surviving Company, all or any material portion of the Company Intellectual Property necessary to achieve the Earn-Out (a “Qualifying Transfer”) (including as part of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Buyer or its Affiliates), the Buyer’s obligation to the Securityholders pursuant to this Section 3.3 in connection with any Earn-Out that has not already been satisfied by Buyer or the deadline for achieving such Earn-Out has not already passed shall accelerate immediately prior to such sale, license or assignment and the applicable Earn-Out Obligation shall become immediately due.

(h) Adjustments to Earn-Out Consideration. To the extent any Earn-Out Consideration becomes payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such amounts shall be paid in the following manner:

39

(i) First, to the extent any portion of such Earn-Out Consideration if paid at the Effective Time would have resulted in, the incurrence or existence of a Transaction Expense(collectively, the “Earn-Out Expenses”), such Earn-Out Expenses shall be paid by Buyer or the Surviving Company at the written direction of the Stockholders’ Representative to the payee to whom the Stockholders’ Representative directs payment be made.

(ii) Second, any remaining portion of such Earn-Out Consideration shall be paid to the Stockholders’ Representative, or as directed by the Stockholders’ Representative, to the Securityholders, as otherwise described by the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Earn-Out Spreadsheet. Prior to the payment of any Earn-Out Consideration in the manner described herein, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Buyer a spreadsheet stating with respect to each disbursement of Earn-Out Consideration, (i) the aggregate amount of such disbursement, (ii) the allocation of such disbursement to the applicable payees as described in clause (h)(i) above, and (iii) with respect to each Securityholder entitled to receive any portion of such disbursement, the portion of such disbursement payable to such Securityholder in accordance with clause h(ii) above (each such spreadsheet, the “Earn-Out Spreadsheet”). Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the Stockholders’ Representative in producing the Earn-Out Consideration Spreadsheet and shall at the written request of the Stockholders’ Representative provide such information as may be reasonably requested for the production thereof. It is acknowledged and agreed that the preparation of any Earn-Out Spreadsheet is the responsibility of the Stockholders’ Representative, and Buyer shall be entitled to rely thereon, and to make payments in accordance therewith, without any obligation to investigate or verify the accuracy or correctness thereof, and nothing herein shall limit any Buyer Indemnified Parties’ rights under Section 8.2.

(j) Subordination. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.3, the payment of any Earn-Out Obligations is and shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the requisite Senior Lenders), which are hereby incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full in this Section 3.3(j), of the terms set forth on Exhibit J hereto (the “Subordination Terms”) and Buyer shall not pay in cash, and the Stockholders shall not receive payment in cash, of any Earn-Out Obligations unless and to the extent the Subordination Terms are satisfied (or waived by the requisite Senior Lenders). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any Earn-Out Obligation becomes due and payable and, under the terms of the Subordination Terms, Buyer is not permitted to make such payment in cash for a period of at least 30 consecutive calendar days, then, upon the written request of the Stockholders’ Representative that such payment be made in shares of Common Stock of Buyer, Buyer will make such payment in shares of Common Stock of Buyer.

(k) Set Off. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, to the extent a Securityholder is in material breach of any provision intended to protect the goodwill of the Company and its Business set forth in the non-competition, non-solicitation, release or confidentiality provisions under the Voting and Support Agreement, the Amended and Restated Assignment and License Agreement, Letter of Transmittal, Equityholder Acknowledgement, the restrictive covenant agreement with the Buyer in the form attached as Exhibit K hereto (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) or applicable employment arrangement or consulting agreement or any other similar agreement entered into with Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company), Buyer shall be entitled to set-off against any Earn-Out Consideration payable to such Securityholder any amounts of Losses incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of such breach and shall have no obligation to pay any other amount of the Earn-Out Consideration to such Securityholder during the pendency of any such material breach or prior to resolution of any claims made in good faith related thereto.

40

3.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Withholding. Buyer (and its Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any amount from the consideration otherwise payable (whether in cash or other property), pursuant to this Agreement, as Buyer (or its Affiliates) is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law, including but not limited to, as a result of (i) the compensatory nature of such payments, (ii) a change in Law after the date hereof or (iii) the Company’s failure to provide the certificate in accordance with Section 6.8. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and paid over to the proper Taxing Authority, such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amount would otherwise have been paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Tax Treatment of Contingent Payment Amounts. All parties hereto agree for all Tax purposes that: (i) the right of the Stockholders to the Escrow Amount and the Earn-Out Obligation(s) shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code (if the necessary requirements are satisfied) and any corresponding provision of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. law, as appropriate; and (ii) Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount and the Earn-Out Obligation(s) solely for Tax purposes, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount and the Earn-Out Obligation(s), or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Buyer pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code. The Escrow Amount and the Earn-Out Obligation(s) shall be treated as additional purchase price (subject to imputation of interest under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code). For the avoidance of doubt, any deferred contingent purchase price or additional purchase price, even if paid with Buyer Common Stock, will be subject to imputation of interest to the extent required under Section 483 or Section 1274 of the Code.

3.5 Allocation of Merger Consideration. Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the Allocation Statement and in no event will Buyer, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) be liable to any Stockholder with respect to any claim that the cash amounts payable or Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Allocation Statement are incomplete or inaccurate or that such Stockholder was entitled to receive payment/issuance of any other amount, subject to actual payment/issuance of the cash amounts or Buyer Common Stock set forth in the Allocation Statement to such Stockholder and the terms of this Agreement.

Article VIII
Indemnification

8.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the parties hereto made in this Agreement (a) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Buyer, LLC Sub and Merger Sub in the case of the representations and warranties made to Buyer, LLC Sub and Merger Sub and shall survive the Closing (subject to the immediately following sentence) regardless of any investigation on the part or knowledge of such party or its representatives, with each party reserving all of its rights hereunder in connection with any breach or alleged breach and (b) shall bind the applicable parties’ successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any successor to any party by way of acquisition, merger or otherwise), whether so expressed or not, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date (the “Survival Date”) that is eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 4.2 (Authorization of Agreement), Section 4.4(a) (Capitalization), Section 4.5 (Subsidiaries), Section 4.9 (Taxes), Section 4.22 (Financial Advisors), Section 5.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 5.2 (Authorization of Agreement) and Section 5.5 (Financial Advisors) (such representations and warranties, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until five (5) years from the Closing Date, provided that Section 4.9 (Taxes) shall survive until six (6) years from the Closing Date or sixty (60) days past the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, whichever is longer. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed at or prior Closing shall survive the Closing through the Survival Date and all covenants and other agreements to be performed after Closing shall survive until fully performed by the applicable party in accordance with their respective terms. No Indemnified Party shall be indemnified and held harmless for any liability for a breach of any representation or warranty unless the applicable Indemnifying Party is given written notice from such Indemnified Party asserting a claim on or before the applicable Survival Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such written notice has been delivered on or before the applicable Survival Date, then such representation or warranty shall survive as to any claim in such notice until such claim has been finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree and acknowledge that the survival periods set forth in this Section 8.1 are contractual statutes of limitations and any claim brought by any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VIII must be brought or filed prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period.

82

8.2 Indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties hereby agree on a several and not joint basis (except with respect to amounts to be recovered under the Indemnification Escrow Amount), to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, resulting from, arising in connection with or related to (i) any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty made by the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any omission or inaccuracy with respect to the Allocation Statement delivered to Buyer by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2, (iii) any breach of any covenant made by the Company in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, (iv) any claim brought by any current, former or putative equityholder or option holder of the Company with respect to equity or options of the Company, including with respect to any Dissenting Share Payments, and any Losses incurred by Buyer under Section 6.6 of this Agreement, (v) any Indemnified Taxes, (vi) any claim brought by any current, former or putative equityholder or Optionholder with respect to the calculations and determinations set forth on the Allocation Statement, including with respect to any claim that such calculations and determinations (A) are in conflict with the requirements of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Equity Plan, applicable Law or any applicable agreements to which the Company is a party, and (B) were not properly, accurately or completely updated as of the Closing, (vii) any Debt or Company Transaction Expenses to the extent not paid at or prior to Closing or included in the determination of Merger Consideration or the Earn-Outs; (viii) any omission or inaccuracy with respect to the Earn-Out Spreadsheet delivered to Buyer by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 3.3(i) and (ix) fraud with the intent to deceive as determined under Delaware Law on the part of the Company, its board of directors or officers committed or made in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (“Fraud”). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be required to show reliance on any particular representation or warranty in order to make an indemnity claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i).

(b) The representations and warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of either (i) any waiver of Closing conditions by Buyer or Merger Sub, or (ii) any information furnished to, or any due diligence investigation made by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or any of their respective representatives; provided that the foregoing shall not apply in the context of establishing any element of a claim, on behalf of the Buyer or its Affiliates, of Fraud.

(c) The Buyer Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be limited as follows:

(i) except with respect to Losses arising out of breaches or inaccuracies in any Fundamental Representation or any action based on Fraud, no Losses shall be subject to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) either (x) with respect to any individual Losses of an amount less than $10,000 individually (which Losses shall neither be indemnifiable or be included in the calculation of the whether the Threshold has been reached) (the “Per Claim Threshold”); provided that the Per Claim Threshold shall not apply to more than $50,000 of Losses in the aggregate or (y) until the total of all Losses indemnifiable under Section 8.2(a)(i) (including taking into the account the Per Claim Threshold) exceeds the Threshold and then recovery shall be permitted under Section 8.2(a)(i) for all Losses back to the first dollar;

83

(ii) except with respect to Losses arising out of breaches or inaccuracies in any Fundamental Representation or any action based on Fraud, the maximum aggregate liability of the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties for Losses in respect of indemnification claims under Section 8.2(a)(i) shall equal the Indemnification Escrow Amount (the “Cap”);

(iii) all claims under Section 8.2(a) for Losses shall be satisfied (A) first, from set off against the Indemnification Escrow Amount only to the extent not entirely reduced by any prior setoff, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) second, with respect to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) to the extent indemnification in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Amount is permitted hereunder, if the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy is not satisfied, from the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties directly and severally in accordance with their Indemnifying Party Pro Rata Share, including without limitation by set off against and cancellation of any Earn-Out Obligation and any Buyer Common Stock owned in book-entry form at DTC by any Stockholder, subject to the other limitations in this Article VIII, to the extent of any such shortfall with respect to the retention; (C) third, through the use of commercially reasonable efforts by the Buyer Indemnified Parties to seek recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy only if covered by the terms of the R&W Insurance Policy and to the extent R&W Insurance Policy has not expired or is no longer available; and (D) fourth, to the extent not fully satisfied by the R&W Insurance Policy (in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth therein) and to the extent indemnification in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Amount is permitted hereunder, from the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties directly and severally in accordance with their Indemnifying Party Pro Rata Share, including without limitation by receipt of cash or by set off against and cancellation of any Earn-Out Obligation to the extent earned but not paid or set off against and cancellation of any Buyer Common Stock owned in book-entry form at DTC by any Stockholder, subject to the other limitations in this Article VIII. For the avoidance of doubt, other than to the extent specified by Buyer, any such indemnity shall be satisfied in cash provided that the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable at Closing shall have, at such time, been registered in accordance with the terms of the Voting and Support Agreement or otherwise shall be freely tradeable by the holder thereof without restriction.

(iv) Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover any Losses from the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties, in the aggregate, or any Stockholder Indemnifying Party, individually, in excess of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Stockholder Indemnifying Parties, in the aggregate, or any Stockholder Indemnifying Party, individually, pursuant to this Agreement; and

84

(v) the Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under, or any facts and circumstances relating to or arising out of, a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties have already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement and such recovery would be duplicative.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for any (i) Taxes to the extent such Taxes have been reflected in the calculation of Company Transaction Expenses, Debt or Net Working Capital (in each case as finally determined hereunder), (ii) Taxes resulting from a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Section 4.9 and arising in a Tax period (or portion of a Tax period) beginning after the Closing Date, other than the representations and warranties in Section 4.9(d), (e), (g), (h), (k) and (l), (iii) Taxes allocated to Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1 or (vi) Taxes arising from any transactions entered into on the Closing Date after the Closing outside of the Ordinary Course of Business and not contemplated by this Agreement.

8.3 Indemnification of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after Closing, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses suffered, sustained or incurred by any Stockholder Indemnified Party, resulting from, arising in connection with or related to (i) any breach of a representation or warranty made by Buyer or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or (ii) any breach of any covenant made by Buyer or Merger Sub in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Any claim for indemnification by a Stockholder Indemnified Party shall only be initiated and maintained through the Stockholders’ Representative.

(b) The representations and warranties, covenants and obligations of Buyer or the Merger Sub, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Stockholder Indemnified Parties, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of either any information furnished to, or any due diligence investigation made by any of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties or any of their respective representatives.

(c) The Stockholder Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) shall be limited and satisfied in accordance with the following:

(i) except with respect to Losses arising out of breaches or inaccuracies in any Fundamental Representation or any action based on Fraud or intentional misrepresentation, no Losses shall be subject to indemnification under Section 8.3(a)(i) until the total of all Losses in respect of indemnification claims under Section 8.3(a)(i) exceeds the Threshold, and then recovery shall be permitted hereunder for all Losses back to the first dollar;

85

(ii) except with respect to Losses arising out of breaches or inaccuracies in any Fundamental Representation or any action based on Fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum aggregate liability of Buyer for Losses in respect of indemnification claims under Section 8.3(a)(i) shall be the Cap; and

(iii) the Stockholder Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under, or any facts and circumstances relating to or arising out of, a provision of this Agreement to the extent that the Stockholder Indemnified Parties have already recovered Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement and such recovery would be duplicative.

(d) In no event shall Buyer’s indemnification obligations to the Stockholder Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 8.3 exceed the portion of the Merger Consideration required to be paid by Buyer to the Stockholders.

8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) An Indemnified Party may make claims for indemnification hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party within the period in which such indemnification claim can be made hereunder. In the event that an indemnification claim involves a claim by a third party against such Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof together with a statement of any available information regarding such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. Such written notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the potential Loss, in each case to the extent known. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to fully indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim, then other than with respect to Taxes, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim (or less if the nature of the asserted liability requires (e.g., if an answer is due with respect to a formal complaint)), to assume and conduct at its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim through the counsel of its choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party fails to elect to assume control within such fifteen (15) day period or fails to diligently prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain or assume control of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, that in any case where the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties are the Indemnifying Party, the right to assume control of such Third Party Claim is only if, (A) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages which are not reasonably expected to be in excess of the Indemnifying Party’s remaining indemnity obligations hereunder and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (B) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, (C) to the extent that such Third Party Claim does not involve any potential criminal liability or the potential for a finding or admission of criminal wrongdoing, or (D) such Third Party Claim is not asserted by any Governmental Body; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party must first acknowledge in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of a Third Party Claim, its assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, and, based on the facts then known, its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII. The party not controlling such Third Party Claim shall cooperate with and make available to the controlling party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by it (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same), and shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing; provided, that if (i) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Party. The party controlling such Third Party Claim shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the non-controlling party with respect thereto.

86

(b) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages which are fully satisfied by the Indemnifying Party. If an offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim, which offer the Indemnifying Party is permitted to settle under this Section 8.4 only upon the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnified Party to that effect.

(c) Notwithstanding the forgoing, any Third Party Claim relating to Taxes shall be governed by applicable provisions of Section 11.3.

8.5 Direct Claims. Any claim, action, cause of action, demand or Legal Proceeding by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice (or to include any item required to be set forth thereon in accordance with the following sentence) shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party (a) forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure, or (b) is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail (to the extent known), shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof to the extent reasonably available and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

87

8.6 Treatment of Indemnification Claims. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by all parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration to the extent permitted by applicable law.

8.7 Calculation of Losses.

(a) Following the Closing, if any claim is made against the Stockholder by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant Article VIII in respect of any Loss (a “Loss Payment”), none of the Stockholders nor any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns shall have any rights against Buyer, the Company or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, managers or members by reason of contribution or subrogation in respect of any such Loss Payment.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of the parties indemnification obligations under Article VIII, all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement that are qualified as to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar import or effect or exception related thereto shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification or exception for the purpose of determining both whether or not a breach has occurred and calculating the amount of Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any such breach of representation or warranty.

(c) The Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any related insurance proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the corresponding claim (net of applicable deductible or retention amounts, based on the parties’ reasonable estimate of the increases in insurance premiums directly resulting from such claim and costs of recovery), and (ii) any other compensatory payments actually received by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates from any other Persons by way of indemnification, guarantee or similar mechanism with respect to the Losses for which indemnification is claimed. To the extent available, each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from any such available insurance policy or indemnification, guarantee or similar mechanism, provided, however, such obligation shall not include any requirement to commence any action, suit proceeding, or alternative dispute resolution process to obtain such recovery, and shall not prevent or delay receipt of indemnification payments hereunder to the extent an Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled thereto. If any amount referenced in this Section 8.7(c) is actually received after the related indemnification payment has been made, then the applicable Indemnified Party shall remit such amounts to the applicable Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties from the R&W Insurance Policy shall necessitate any refund of any amount collected from the Indemnification Escrow Amount or otherwise from the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties to satisfy the retention under the R&W Insurance Policy.

88

8.8 Right to Bring Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) prior to the Closing, only the Company, and after the Closing only the Stockholders’ Representative, shall have the right, power and authority to commence any action, suit or proceeding by and on behalf of any or all of the Stockholders against Buyer, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, including the Surviving Company, or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, and in no event shall any Stockholder himself, herself or itself have the right to commence any action, suit or proceeding against Buyer, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, including the Surviving Company, or any other Buyer Indemnified Party, in each case other than any such action, suit or proceeding in connection with such Stockholder’s right to receive its portion of the Merger Consideration set forth on the Allocation Statement; and (b) only the Buyer, shall have the right, power and authority to commence any action, suit or proceeding by and on behalf of any or all of the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Company or the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties and their respective Affiliates.

8.9 Exclusion of Other Remedies. This Article VIII and Section 6.13 constitute the sole and exclusive remedies after the Closing arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Transactions, except (i) with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) nothing herein shall restrict the ability of Buyer to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies against any Person, (iii) under the R&W Insurance Policy against the R&W Insurer, (iv) remedies provided pursuant to other Transaction Documents pursuant to their terms and (v) a determination of the Purchase Price Adjustment (which is governed by, including injunctive or other relief, in accordance with Section 10.10.

Any provision of this Agreement can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to the date upon which the “Secured Obligations” under, and as such term is defined in the Senior Loan Agreement have been indefeasibly repaid in their entirety and the Senior Loan Agreement is terminated, no provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived in any manner without the prior written consent of Senior Lender.

10.6 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by e-mail, (iii) when received or rejected by the addressee if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by reputable overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses (or to such other address number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

10.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder; provided, however, that the parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that (i) the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, all indemnitees (in all of their capacities) affected thereby; and (ii) this Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable in all respects by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Stockholders; provided, no assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that Buyer and Merger Sub may assign their respective rights, interests and obligations hereunder, without the consent of any Person, to an Affiliate. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Merger Sub may assign all of their respective rights under this Agreement for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Buyer or Merger Sub but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer or Merger Sub of any liability or obligation hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Section 3.3, Section 10.3, Section 10.5, Section 10.10, 10.11(a), and this Section 10.8 shall insure to the benefit of the Senior Lenders and their successors and assigns, each of whom are intended to be third party beneficiaries hereof and thereof (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such sections will be enforceable by the Senior Lenders).

94

10.9 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s length negotiations; all parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary purchaser and an ordinary seller in an arm’s length transaction.

10.10 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, it is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by any other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any other party, in any court of competent jurisdiction and appropriate injunctive relief shall be granted in connection therewith seeking an injunction, a decree or order of specific performance or other equitable remedy shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection therewith and any such remedy shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Company, the Stockholder’s Representative or any of their respective Affiliates or Related Persons be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against the Senior Lenders.

10.11 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) The Stockholders’ Representative is hereby irrevocably appointed as the Stockholders’ Representative, agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact for all the Stockholders for all purposes under this Agreement including the full power and authority on the Stockholders’ behalf:

(i) to consummate the Transactions,

(ii) to negotiate and settle disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith,

(iii) to receive and disburse to the Stockholders any funds received on behalf of the Stockholders under this Agreement or otherwise,

(iv) to withhold any amounts received on behalf of the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to satisfy any and all obligations or liabilities incurred by the Stockholders or the Stockholders’ Representative in the performance of their duties hereunder,

95

(v) to direct the distribution of funds, engage the Company to distribute funds (including the Merger Consideration, the Net Positive Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (if any) and the Adjustment Escrow Release Amount), give receipts for funds, make or direct payments of funds from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in satisfaction of claims asserted by Buyer, and object to any claims by any Person against the Adjustment Escrow Amount,

(vi) to execute and deliver any amendment or waiver to this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith (without the prior approval of the Stockholders), and

(vii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Stockholders in connection with this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith.

The Stockholders, by approving this Agreement (whether by vote or by execution of a Letter of Transmittal), further agree that such agency and proxy are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Stockholder. All decisions and actions by the Stockholders’ Representative shall be binding upon all of the Stockholders and no Stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. If an allocation is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Stockholders’ Representative shall distribute funds to the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Indemnifying Party Pro Rata Share. Buyer, LLC Sub, Merger Sub and Senior Lenders may conclusively rely, without independent verification or investigation, upon any such decision or action of the Stockholders’ Representative as being the binding decision or action of every Stockholder, and neither Buyer, LLC Sub, Merger Sub nor Senior Lenders shall be liable to any Stockholder or any other Persons for any actions taken or omitted from being taken by them or by Buyer, LLC Sub, Merger Sub or Senior Lenders in accordance with or reliance upon any such decision or action of the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have no duties or obligations to the Stockholders hereunder, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, agreements, functions, duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or shall otherwise exist against the Stockholders’ Representative.

(b) By the approval of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly and up to its Indemnifying Party Pro Rata Share, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders’ Representative and its partners, managers, officers, agents and other representatives against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts incurred by such Persons in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the Stockholders’ Representative or such other Person is made a party by reason of the fact that it is or was acting as the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, other than as a result of the Stockholders’ Representative’s bad faith or willful misconduct.

96

(c) Neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any of its members, managers, officers, agents or other representatives shall incur any liability to any Stockholder by virtue of the failure or refusal of such Persons for any reason to consummate the Transactions or relating to the performance of their duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting bad faith or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative and its members, managers, officers, agents and other representatives and their respective Affiliates shall have no liability in respect of any Legal Proceeding brought against such Persons by any Stockholder, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, unless such Persons took or omitted taking any action in bad faith or as result of willful misconduct.

(d) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to recover from any amounts withheld by the Stockholders’ Representative, including without limitation, its reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder (the “Charges”). In the event such amounts are insufficient to satisfy the Charges, then the Stockholders’ Representative may recover such deficit from the Adjustment Escrow Amount. In event the Adjustment Escrow Amount is insufficient to satisfy such deficit, each Stockholder will be obligated to pay any remaining unpaid amounts to the Stockholders’ Representative on a several, and not joint, basis, up to each such Stockholder’s Indemnifying Party Pro Rata Share.

(e) In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Representative, or if the Stockholders’ Representative resigns as the Stockholders’ Representative, a majority in interest of the Stockholders may by written consent appoint a new representative as the Stockholders’ Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of a majority in interest of the Stockholders must be delivered to Buyer. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer.

10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “.pdf” form, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

97

10.13 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. (“WSGR”) has represented the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative. Each of the parties hereto recognizes the commonality of interest that exists and will continue to exist until the Effective Time, and the parties hereto agree that such commonality of interest should continue to be recognized after the Effective Time. Specifically, the parties hereto agree that Buyer (including its Affiliates) shall not, and shall not cause the Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates to, seek to have WSGR disqualified from representing the Stockholders’ Representative, any Securityholders or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any dispute that may arise between the Stockholders’ Representative, any Securityholders or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Buyer (including its Affiliates), on the other, in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, including any matter concerning Earn-Out Obligations and the payment thereof. The parties hereto further agree that (a) as to all communications among WSGR and the Stockholder’s Representative, the Securityholders and their respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”) that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the exception of client confidence belongs solely to the Seller Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Buyer (or its Affiliates), because the interests of Buyer and its Affiliates were directly adverse to the Company, the Securityholders and the Stockholders’ Representative at the time such communications were made and (b) the Stockholders’ Representative (and not Buyer or the Surviving Company) shall have the right to decide whether or not to waive the attorney-client privilege that may apply to any communications between the Company and its Affiliates and WSGR that occurred before the Effective Time. This right to the attorney-client privilege shall exist even if such communications may exist on the Company’s computer system or in documents in the Company’s possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any dispute arises between Buyer (including its Affiliates) or the Company and a third party, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by WSGR to such third party; provided, however, that the Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative. Buyer and the Company each hereby acknowledge that each of them have had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than WSGR. This Section 10.13 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 10.13 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative and WSGR.

10.14 Release. In consideration of, among other things, the delivery of the Aggregate Per Share Consideration hereunder, effective and conditioned upon the completion of the Closing, each Securityholder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to the waiver and release provisions in Section 2 of the Voting and Support Agreement and Equityholder Acknowledgment, as applicable.

Article XI

tax matters

11.1 Tax Returns.

(a) The Company shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date, and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law); provided that Buyer shall deliver any such Tax Return that reflects an indemnifiable Tax to the Stockholders’ Representative for review and comment twenty (20) days, in the case of an income Tax Return, and ten (10) days, in the case of any other material Tax Return prior to the due date for filing and consider in good faith any of the Stockholders’ Representative’s reasonable comments timely submitted prior to filing.

(b) Buyer shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistently with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

11.2 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be equal to:

(a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld in connection with payments to third parties, the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership, other pass through entity or any non-U.S. entity owned by a Company shall be deemed to terminate at such time), provided that exemptions, allowances, and deductions (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, that are otherwise calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a daily basis; and

(b) in the case of other Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

11.3 Contests. Buyer agrees to give written notice to Stockholders’ Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to Article VIII or that directly impact the qualification of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder unless the Stockholders are materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Buyer shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Buyer. Buyer shall not settle any material Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

99

11.4 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Stockholders’ Representative, the Company and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article XI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities. Each of Stockholders’ Representative, the Company and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Stockholders’ Representative, the Company or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

11.5 Post-Closing Actions. From and after the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Company to, (i) amend any Tax Return of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or initiate any voluntary disclosure agreement, engage in any voluntary compliance procedures or make any other similar voluntary contact with any Governmental Body with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make any Tax election with respect to the Company that has effect for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any election under Section 338 of the Code or similar election, or (iii) waive or extend the period applicable to any claim or assessment of Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case if doing so could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Stockholders.

11.6 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 4.9 and this Article XI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus sixty (60) days.

11.7 Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article VIII may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article XI, the provisions of this Article XI shall govern.

11.8 Reorganization. The parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Mergers shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each party to this Agreement will take all commercially reasonable action to cause the Merger to so qualify and shall not take any action or position before a Governmental Authority or on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the intent to treat the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a), unless (a) otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a)(1) of the Code or any comparable provision of state or local Law), or (b) with the consent of the other parties. No party has Knowledge of any circumstances that would preclude it from reporting the Merger as a reorganization consistently with this Section 11.7.
