B. The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Stockholders (as defined herein), (ii) declared the advisability of and approved the execution of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) recommended that the Stockholders adopt this Agreement and approve the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and approve the Merger.

C. The holders of Preferred Stock have unanimously determined to approve and adopt this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreements.

D. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain, in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, the written consent of Stockholders representing no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (the latter voting together with the shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis) adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL (the “Written Consent”).

E.

No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule to be attached hereto as Schedule I (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimates of, with respect to each Seller (i) the number of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, and In-the-Money Options held by such Seller, together with the certificate number(s) for the Certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and such Seller’s address of record; (ii) the portion (expressed as a dollar amount and as a percentage) of the Aggregate Initial Merger Consideration and Option Payment, as applicable, payable to such Seller at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Seller’s Company Capital Stock or In-the-Money Stock Options; (iii) such Seller’s portion (expressed as a dollar amount and as a percentage) of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount to be disbursed to the Escrow Agent at the Closing; (iv) such Seller’s portion (expressed as a dollar amount and as a percentage of the Expense Reserve Account to be disbursed to the Stockholder Representative at the Closing; (v) such Seller’s Pro Rata Share; and (vi) correct and complete wire or other payment instructions of the Company, the Stockholder Representative, and any third parties to which unpaid Transaction Expenses are payable by the Company.

The parties further agree that the Stockholder Representative shall be required to update the Allocation Schedule from time to time to reflect the allocation of any payment to Sellers and to promptly furnish any such update to Parent and the Paying Agent. Once the Paying Agent and, to the extent required, the Surviving Corporation have made all payments required to be made hereunder to the Sellers or the Stockholder Representative on their behalf in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, such payments shall constitute a complete discharge of the applicable payment obligations of Parent and Acquisition Corp. hereunder to the Sellers. The Company and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, agree that neither Parent, Acquisition Corp., the Surviving Corporation nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable for any Losses to any Person, including any Seller, in connection with any inaccuracy, error, or omission in the Allocation Schedule, including any failure of the Company or the Stockholder Representative to correctly calculate the amounts owing to a Seller or to correctly distribute to any Seller the amounts of any payments made by (or on behalf of) Parent to or for the benefit of the Sellers.

(vi) to the Paying Agent, for further distribution to each Stockholder holding shares of Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) that, in each case, delivers to the Paying Agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, a Letter of Transmittal and a Certificate representing (immediately prior to the Effective Time) the shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder set forth in such Letter of Transmittal (or a lost stock certificate affidavit and indemnity agreement (as described in Section 1.6(d)), in respect of each such share of Common Stock, the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect to such share of Common Stock in accordance with the Allocation Schedule but subject to Section 1.12;

(vii) to the Paying Agent, to be held in a segregated bank account for the benefit of the Stockholders that do not receive payment pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(v) or Section 1.6(a)(vi) and used solely and exclusively for purposes of distribution to the Stockholders as set forth in this Section 1.6(a), in respect of each share, the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration (as applicable) not paid pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(v) or Section 1.6(a)(vi) (the “Payment Fund”);

(b) From and after the Effective Time, for a period of eighteen (18) following the Effective Time, upon a Stockholder’s delivery to the Paying Agent of a Letter of Transmittal and Certificate(s) representing (immediately prior to the Effective Time) the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder set forth in such Letter of Transmittal, such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall pay or cause to be paid to such Stockholder, within three (3) Business Days after such delivery and in exchange therefor, in respect of each such share, the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration (and any portion of the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration that has, as of such time, already been finally determined), in each case as applicable, attributable to such shares of Company Capital Stock, in cash by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire or other delivery instructions provided in writing by such Stockholder. No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the consideration payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate. If the consideration provided for herein is to be delivered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate was surrendered, it shall be a condition of such delivery that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer accompanied by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not yet payable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.6(b), each Certificate (other than those representing Dissenting Shares or Company Capital Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(c)) shall represent, for all purposes after the Effective Time, only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the amounts payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.6(a) in respect of the Company Capital Stock formerly evidenced by such Certificate, without any interest or dividends thereon.

(c) Any portion of the Payment Fund deposited with or otherwise made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement that remains unclaimed by the former Stockholders eighteen (18) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged its shares of Company Capital Stock for a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of the portion of Aggregate Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of Certificates or any other Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been properly surrendered or transferred prior to the date on which any consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to or become the property of a Governmental Authority, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

6

(d) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of a lost stock certificate affidavit and indemnity agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent (prior to the Effective Time) or the Surviving Corporation (following the Effective Time)) of that fact by the Person (who shall be the record owner of such Certificate) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Surviving Corporation and Parent will pay or cause to be paid to such Person, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration attributable to such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(f) Each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Capital Stock or Stock Options or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided that prior to deducting and withholding any such amounts, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as applicable, shall provide Stockholder Representative with prior written notice of its intent to deduct and withhold within a reasonable period before the Closing Date, shall cooperate in good faith with Stockholder Representative to reduce (or eliminate) the deduction or withholding of such amounts, and shall remit any such deducted and withheld amounts to the appropriate Tax Authority. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by the Company, the Surviving Corporation and Parent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.7 Stock Options.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to cause the Stock Options identified on Section 1.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule to become fully vested and exercisable and therefore to constitute In-the-Money Options for purposes of this Agreement. As of the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (i) each In-the-Money Option shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock, and in consideration therefor, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash (collectively, the “Option Payments”), without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of (x) (A) the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration plus (B) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration (if any) attributable thereto over (y) the exercise price of such Stock Option in respect of a share of Common Stock and (ii) each Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not an In-the-Money Option (and, for avoidance of doubt, including each portion of an In-the-Money Option that is not vested or exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (but after giving effect to any vesting acceleration resulting from the Merger in accordance with its terms as in effect on the date of this Agreement or described in the first sentence of this Section 1.7(a))) shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire

7

Common Stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor. The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions as are reasonably necessary in order to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 1.7; provided that such actions shall expressly be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and shall be of no force or effect if this Agreement is terminated. The Option Payments attributable to the Initial Per Share Merger Consideration shall be paid through the Surviving Company’s payroll system on the first normal payroll date of the Surviving Company occurring at least five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time to each Person entitled to receive Option Payments, subject in each case to the withholding described in Section 1.7(b), and any additional portion of the Option Payments payable to the In-the-Money Optionholders shall be paid through the Surviving Company’s payroll system on the first normal payroll date of the Surviving Company occurring at least three (3) Business Days following receipt of such additional portion of the Option Payments to each Person entitled to receive Option Payments, subject in each case to the withholding described in Section 1.7(b). For avoidance of doubt (1) to the extent such additional portion of the Option Payments arises from the Expense Reserve Amount, the Stockholder Representative shall pay such additional portion to the Surviving Corporation for further distribution in accordance with this Section 1.7(a) and (2) to the extent such additional portion of the Option Payments arises under Section 1.11(d) and is payable from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Parties shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay such additional portion to the Surviving Corporation for further distribution in accordance with this Section 1.7(a).

1.9 Indebtedness; Company Transaction Expenses.

It is contemplated by the parties that, upon the Closing, the Indebtedness set forth on Section 1.9 of the Disclosure Schedule and Transaction Expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be fully repaid or paid (as applicable).

Such holders of Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by the holders of Company Capital Stock who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon cease to be Dissenting Shares and be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without any interest thereon, upon delivery of a Letter of Transmittal and surrender, in the manner provided herein, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares or the execution and delivery of a lost stock certificate affidavit and indemnity agreement to the Company as set forth in Section 1.6(d).

(b) The Company shall give Parent and the Stockholder Representative prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company.

Parent and its agents shall be provided with reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the financial books and records on which the Estimated Closing Statement is based and to the employees and agents of the Company and its Affiliates who prepared the Estimated Closing Statement so as to enable it to verify the amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement. The form and content of the Estimated Closing Statement shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent and, subject to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction, shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the consideration pursuant to Section 1.6.

(b) Determination of Post-Closing Adjustment.

The Closing Statement shall be based upon the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions contained in this Agreement and GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the methodologies and principles used in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement (including in accordance with the accounting practices, principles, policies, judgments and methodologies set forth on, and used in the calculation of, Schedules II and III hereto (all of which accounting practices, principles, policies, judgments, and methodologies shall be, unless otherwise specifically identified on such Schedules, consistent with GAAP, and, in the case of any conflict, unless otherwise specifically identified on such Schedules, GAAP shall control)).

(c) Disputed Final Adjustment.

(i) No later than forty-five (45) days following the delivery by Parent of the Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing whether it accepts or disputes the accuracy of any calculation set forth in the Closing

10

Statement. During such forty-five (45) day period, the Stockholder Representative and its agents shall be provided with reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the financial books and records on which the Closing Statement is based and to the employees and agents of the Surviving Company and its Affiliates who prepared the Closing Statement. If the Stockholder Representative accepts the Closing Statement, or if the Stockholder Representative fails within such forty-five (45) day period to so notify Parent of any dispute with respect thereto, then the calculation of Actual Company Cash determined pursuant to Section 1.11(b) shall be the “Final Company Cash,” the calculation of Actual Net Working Capital determined pursuant to Section 1.11(b) shall be the “Final Net Working Capital,” the calculation of Actual Indebtedness determined pursuant to Section 1.11(b) shall be the “Final Indebtedness,” and the calculation of Actual Transaction Expenses determined pursuant to Section 1.11(b) shall be the “Final Transaction Expenses,” which, in each case, shall deemed final and conclusive and binding upon all parties in all respects.

(ii) If the Stockholder Representative disputes the accuracy of any calculation set forth in the Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall provide written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Parent no later than forty-five (45) days following the delivery by Parent to the Stockholder Representative of the Closing Statement, setting forth in reasonable detail those items set forth in the Closing Statement that the Stockholder Representative disputes. During the thirty (30) day period following delivery of a Dispute Notice, (A) any aspect of the Closing Statement that is not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall become final and binding and (B) Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith with a view to resolving their disagreements over the disputed items. During such thirty (30) day period or until the earlier final determination of Final Company Cash, Final Net Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, and Final Transaction Expenses in accordance with this Section 1.11(c)(ii), the Stockholder Representative and its agents shall be provided with reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the financial books and records on which the Closing Statement is based and to the employees and agents of the Surviving Company and its Affiliates who prepared the Closing Statement so as to enable it to verify the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative resolve their differences over such disputed items in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Final Company Cash, Final Net Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, and Final Transaction Expenses shall be the amounts agreed upon by them. If the Parent and the Stockholder Representative fail to resolve their differences over such disputed items within such thirty (30) day period, then each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to request that Ernst and Young LLP (or another nationally recognized independent public accounting firm or valuation firm as shall be mutually agreed by the Parent and the Stockholder Representative) (the “Accounting Expert”), acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, make a final and binding determination as to only the disputed items in accordance with this Agreement; provided that the Party submitting the disputed items to the Accounting Expert provides prior written notice of such submission to the nonsubmitting Party.

11

(iii) The Accounting Expert will, under the terms of its engagement, have no more than thirty (30) days from the date of referral and no more than ten (10) Business Days from the final submission of information by Parent and the Stockholder Representative with respect to the unresolved disputed items within which to render its written decision with respect to the disputed items (and only with respect to any unresolved disputed items set forth in the Dispute Notice). Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall deliver written submissions to the Accounting Expert, if at all, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of referral of the disputed matters to the Accounting Expert. The Accounting Expert, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall review such written submissions and base its determination solely on such written submissions, and not by independent review. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Expert shall resolve all disputed items in accordance with the defined terms and other provisions of this Agreement (including Schedules II and III hereto) and may not assign a value to any item greater than the maximum value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the minimum value for such item claimed by either Party. Absent manifest error, the decision of the Accounting Expert shall be final and binding upon the Parties and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and the Accounting Expert’s final determination of Company Cash, Net Working Capital, Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses, as applicable, shall be deemed the Final Company Cash, Final Net Working Capital, Final Indebtedness, and Final Transaction Expenses, respectively. The fees of the Accounting Expert will be shared by Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, in the percentage that is inversely proportionate to the percentage of the aggregate amount of all items submitted to the Accounting Expert as disputed that are resolved in such Party’s favor. The Accounting Expert shall include such apportionment of its fees and expenses in its written report to Parent and the Stockholder Representative.

(d) Payment following Calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount.

(i) If the Final Adjustment Amount is positive and is equal to or greater than $250,000, the Aggregate Initial Merger Consideration shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount and the Sellers shall be entitled to receive such Final Adjustment Amount in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. In such event, (A) within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, Parent shall pay such Final Adjustment Amount to the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall distribute to the applicable Sellers each such Seller’s respective portion of the Final Adjustment Amount in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Share as set forth on the Allocation Schedule; and (B) the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount) deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to deliver the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds to the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall distribute to the applicable Sellers each such Seller’s respective portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Share as set forth on the Allocation Schedule; provided that, with respect to any payment to a former holder of an In-the-Money Option, the Paying Agent shall deposit with the Surviving Corporation any portion of such amounts that are payable to such holder, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date occurring not earlier than five (5) Business Days

12

following such deposit, to distribute to each such holder such holder’s portion of such amount payable in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata Share specified in the Allocation Schedule, and in such circumstances, the amount deposited with the Paying Agent shall be reduced accordingly.

(ii) If the Final Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the “Final Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this clause (ii) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount) and the absolute value thereof is equal to or greater than $250,000, the Aggregate Initial Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount, and Parent shall be entitled to receive such Final Adjustment Amount.

(A) If such Final Adjustment Amount does not exceed the amount of available Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount) deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent the Final Adjustment Amount by wire transfer from the funds available in the Escrow Account to one (1) or more accounts designated in writing by Parent to the Escrow Agent, and the remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid to the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall promptly distribute to each Seller its respective portion of the remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Share as set forth on the Allocation Schedule; provided, however, that with respect to any payment to a former holder of an In-the-Money Option, the Paying Agent shall deposit with the Surviving Corporation any portion of such amount payable to such holder, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date occurring not earlier than five (5) Business Days following such deposit, to distribute to each such holder such holder’s portion of such amount payable in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata Share specified in the Allocation Schedule, and in such circumstances, the amount deposited with the Paying Agent shall be reduced accordingly.

(B) If such Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of available Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount) deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent all of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds by wire transfer from the funds available in the Escrow Account to one (1) or more accounts designated in writing by Parent to the Escrow Agent, and the Sellers, on a several and not a joint basis, shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount) pay to Parent the remaining amount of the Final Adjustment Amount that exceeds the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds.

13

(iii) If the Final Adjustment Amount is positive and is less than $250,000, or if the Final Adjustment Amount is negative and the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount is less than $250,000, then (A) the Aggregate Initial Merger Consideration shall not be adjusted and no portion of the Final Adjustment Amount shall be payable to any Party; and (B) the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount) deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to deliver the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds to the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall distribute to the applicable Sellers each such Seller’s respective portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Share as set forth on the Allocation Schedule; provided that, with respect to any payment to a former holder of an In-the-Money Option, the Paying Agent shall deposit with the Surviving Corporation any portion of such amounts that are payable to such holder, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date occurring not earlier than five (5) Business Days following such deposit, to distribute to each such holder such holder’s portion of such amount payable in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata Share specified in the Allocation Schedule, and in such circumstances, the amount deposited with the Paying Agent shall be reduced accordingly.

For avoidance of doubt, (A) such distribution of the Founder Proceeds Amount to the Founder Proceeds Recipients shall not reduce or affect in any way the Pro Rata Share of any of the Founder Stockholders (or any other Seller) or Founder Proceeds Recipients, nor shall it increase, decrease, or affect in any way the calculations of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, the Aggregate Common Stock Merger Consideration, or the Aggregate Preferred Stock Merger Consideration (other than by decreasing the actual amounts payable to the Founding Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(vi)); (B) no Founder Proceeds Recipient shall be deemed to be a “Seller” for purposes of this Agreement unless such Founder Proceeds Recipient is otherwise a “Seller” in connection with such Founder Proceeds Recipient’s status as a Stockholder or a holder of In-the-Money Stock Options; and (C) the Founder Proceeds Amount shall be excluded in its entirety from the definitions of Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and

14

Transaction Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment of any Founder Proceeds Amount shall be made to the extent any such payment would constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. The Company, the Founder Stockholders, and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, agree that neither Parent, Acquisition Corp., the Surviving Corporation, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable for any Losses to any Person, including any Founder Proceeds Recipient, arising out of a claim asserted by any Founder Proceeds Recipient, any Seller, or any third party, in each case, in connection with the payment of the Founder Proceeds Amount, including any failure of the Company or any Founder Stockholder to correctly calculate or allocate payment of the Founder Proceeds Amount and any Taxes arising out of the payment of the Founder Proceeds Amount to the Founder Proceeds Recipients as directed hereby.

All such information and access shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2018, executed by the Company and Parent (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”).

4.5 Contact with Customers, Suppliers and Employees. Parent acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any employees, customers, suppliers, distributors or other material business relations of the Company prior to the Closing without the prior consent of the Company; provided, however, that Parent shall not be prohibited from contacting customers, suppliers, distributors or other material business relations of the Parent and its Affiliates in the Ordinary Course and not related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.6 Schedule Updates.

(c) No such supplement or amendment to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 4.6(a) or Section 4.6(b) shall be deemed to have modified the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company herein for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a) have been satisfied, or shall affect whether a breach of such representations, warranties or covenants has occurred for purposes of determining the Parent’s rights under Article 6 with respect thereto.

43

4.7 Financing Activities.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as reasonably possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (including as such terms and conditions may be amended, modified or waived in accordance with Section 4.07(b) or pursuant to any “market flex” provisions in the Fee Letter), including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent obtaining the Debt Financing set forth therein (or obtain a waiver thereof), (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Financing Agreements”) on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including as such terms and conditions may be amended, modified or waived in accordance with Section 4.07(b) or pursuant to any “market flex” provisions in the Fee Letter) or on other terms that are acceptable to the Debt Financing Sources and Parent, which terms and conditions shall not materially expand upon the conditions to Closing or other contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, (iv) pay all commitment fees or other fees required by the Debt Commitment Letter to be paid as they become due, and (v) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.2.

(b) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Company with reasonably prompt written notice, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of becoming aware, of any of the following, to the extent occurring prior to the Closing: (i) any material breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement of which Parent becomes aware, (ii) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (x) breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or (y) dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (other than any customary negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing), solely to the extent such disagreement or dispute relates to the termination of, or the satisfaction of the conditions to, the obligation of the Debt Financing Sources party thereto to fund their commitments thereunder, (iii) if and when Parent becomes aware of the occurrence of any event or development that could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse impact on the ability of Parent to obtain any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (other than as a result of the failure or potential failure of the conditions set forth in Article 5 to be satisfied), and (iv) of any expiration or termination of the Debt Commitment Letter. Parent shall provide the Company executed copies of the Financing Agreements entered into prior to the Closing Date (provided that any fee letters, engagement letters or other agreements that are confidential by their terms may be redacted in a manner so as not to disclose such terms that are so confidential, including to remove fees, pricing and other economic terms) and copies of any of the written notices or communications described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence or the immediately preceding sentence shall require Parent to disclose any information that (A) is subject to attorney-client privilege or consists of attorney work product, (B) the disclosure of which would result in the breach of any of Parent’s confidentiality obligations set forth in any Contract, or (C) the disclosure of which would be prohibited under applicable Law.

44

(c) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes, or would reasonably be expected to become, unavailable for any reason on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing, including from alternative sources, on terms not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Debt Financing and which do not include any conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that are more onerous than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than conditions that would not reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Thereafter, all references to the Debt Financing shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing, and all references to the Debt Commitment Letter and Debt Documents shall include the commitment letter and any applicable documents for the Alternative Financing, as applicable. Promptly following the Company’s reasonable request, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to update the Company regarding the status of its efforts to arrange any Alternative Financing; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to disclose any information that (A) is subject to attorney-client privilege or consists of attorney work product, (B) the disclosure of which would result in the breach of any of Parent’s confidentiality obligations set forth in any Contract, or (C) the disclosure of which would be prohibited under applicable Law.

(d) Parent shall not permit, without the prior written consent of the Company, any material amendment, modification, supplement, replacements or restatement to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement that would or would reasonably be expected to (i) reduce the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing below the amount necessary to finance the transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, or (ii) impose any new or additional condition, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any condition, to the receipt of any portion of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay or prevent consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the Closing Date, (B) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Debt Financing) materially less likely to occur, or (C) adversely affect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against any other party to any Financing Agreement (collectively, with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Debt Documents”) or the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) Parent shall be permitted to amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, agents, co-agents, arrangers, bookrunners, managers or other roles under the Debt Commitment Letter and (z) any amendment or modification to any Debt Documents in connection with the exercise of any “market flex” shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited by this Section 4.7(d).

None of the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives shall be required, under the provisions of this Section 4.8(a) or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing (x) to pay any commitment or other similar fee prior to the Closing that is not advanced by Parent or (y) to incur any expense unless such expense is promptly reimbursed by Parent following written request by the Company. Parent shall indemnify the Company and its respective Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, awards, fines, penalties, expenses, fees, costs and amounts paid in settlement in accordance with this Agreement (including reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of counsel) suffered or incurred by them in connection with (1) any action taken by them at the request of Parent pursuant to this Section 4.8 or in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or (2) any information utilized in connection therewith, except to the extent arising from (i) information provided by or on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates or (ii) the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Company or its Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 or otherwise shall require the Company to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing and, until the Closing occurs, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries nor their respective representatives shall (1) be required to take any action that will conflict with or violate their respective certificate of incorporation, by-laws or comparable organizational documents or any Laws or orders or (2) be required to pass resolutions or consents, approve or authorize the execution of, or execute any document, agreement, certificate or instrument or take any other corporate action with respect to the Debt Financing that is not contingent on the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing Date (other than customary authorization letters as described in clause (v) above).

46

(b) All material, non-public information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to Parent or its respective representatives pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with Section 9.11(b), except for disclosure to Debt Financing Sources and potential Debt Financing Sources as required in connection with the Debt Financing subject to customary confidentiality protections.

4.9 Parent Actions. Any acts or omissions of the Parent, any of its Affiliates or any Person acting at the direction of the Parent or any of its Affiliates taken or omitted to be taken on or after the date hereof pursuant to this Agreement in the markets in which the Company operates shall not be the basis for a Material Adverse Effect, shall not be a basis upon which the Parent’s closing conditions set forth in Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(b) shall fail to be satisfied and shall not excuse the Parent from performing its obligations under this Agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.10 Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, none of any of the Stockholder Representative, the Company, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without prior consultation with the Parent, the Stockholder Representative and any Seller to be named in such release or announcement; provided that the Parties hereto may make disclosures with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (a) as may be required by applicable Law or listing agreement with or listing rule of a national securities exchange, (b) to their respective employees, accountants, advisors and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses to the extent such Persons have a need to know the information contained in such disclosure(s), and (c) in order to comply with the covenants contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent and the Company shall cooperate to prepare a joint press release to be issued on the Closing Date, which press release shall be mutually acceptable to the Parent and the Company. After the Closing Date, except as may be required by applicable Law or listing agreement with or listing rule of a national securities exchange, no press release related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, or other announcements to the employees or customers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be issued without prior written consent of the Parent, the Stockholder Representative and any Seller to be named in such release or announcement.

4.11 Exclusivity. The Company agrees that between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall cease any and all existing activities, discussions and negotiations with any Person other than Parent with respect to, and to deal exclusively with Parent and its Affiliates and representatives regarding, any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of equity interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Company shall not, and shall take all action necessary to ensure that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or representatives shall, directly or indirectly:

(a) solicit, initiate, consider, encourage or accept any other proposals or offers from any Person (i) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the shares of Company Capital Stock or other equity or ownership interest of the Company or

47

substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than services sold in the Ordinary Course or (ii) to enter into any merger, consolidation or other business combination relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek to do any of the foregoing.

4.12 R&W Insurance Policy. The Parent shall purchase, on or prior to the Closing Date a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy (the “R&W Insurance Policy”) to insure against Losses incurred by the Parent as a result of the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or by any Stockholder in a Letter of Transmittal to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or as of a particular date, where such representation or warranty is made only as of such particular date). Parent shall negotiate such R&W Insurance Policy and shall provide the Stockholder Representative with (a) the opportunity to review the R&W Insurance Policy prior to finalizing and binding or issuing such policy and (b) a copy of the R&W Insurance policy at the Closing. One half of the premium and associated fees and expenses for the R&W Insurance Policy shall constitute Transaction Expenses, and one half of such costs shall be borne by Parent. The Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers shall not be liable as a result of any rights of subrogation under the R&W Insurance Policy other than in the case of fraud (as such term is defined in the R&W Insurance Policy) and that Parent shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) amend, terminate, or waive any provision of the R&W Insurance Policy regarding the waiver of subrogation against the Sellers set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative.

4.13 Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company), the Parent, Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof shall provide each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined immediately prior to the Closing, “Company Group Employee”) who remains employed immediately after the Closing, other than those individuals listed on Section 4.13 of the Disclosure Schedule (“Continuing Employee”) with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) a target bonus opportunity (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which is not less than the target bonus opportunity (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing; (iii) retirement, health and welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Parent immediately prior to the Closing to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates; and (iv) severance benefits (if any) that are no less favorable than the practice, plan or policy in effect for similarly situated employees of Parent.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan or program maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any vacation or paid time-off) for any Continuing Employee, for purposes of determining eligibility

48

to participate, vesting, and levels of severance pay, vacation pay and other paid time off entitlements, each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as all service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and/or an Affiliate thereof; provided that such service need not be recognized for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation.

(c) With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan and program maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates for the benefit of any Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents), Parent, the Surviving Company or such Affiliate shall (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing conditions or limitations under such plan or program, and (ii) cause each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) to be given credit under such plan or program for all amounts paid by such Continuing Employee (or his or her eligible dependents) under any similar Employee Benefit Plans for the plan year that includes the Closing Date for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or such Affiliate for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(d) The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 4.13 with respect to Company Group Employees and Continuing Employees are included for the sole benefit of the Company and Parent and that nothing in this Section 4.13, whether express or implied, shall (i) be treated as an amendment or other modification to any Employee Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, agreement or other arrangement or (ii) create any third party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, including any Company Group Employees, former Company Group Employees, Continuing Employees or any participant in any Employee Benefit Plan (in each case who become bound by this Agreement) or any dependent or beneficiary of any such Person, or (B) to continued employment, any separate right to employment or any particular term of condition of employment of any Person with the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Each of the Company Incentive Agreements shall be terminated, effective as of the Closing, and nothing contained herein is intended to prohibit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any other Employee Benefit Plan.

4.14 Termination of Certain Agreements. Except as set forth on Section 4.14 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Sellers shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, with no further liability or obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or prior to the Closing, all Contracts and other transactions with Affiliates of the Company listed on Section 2.20 of the Disclosure Schedule and shall provide reasonably satisfactory written evidence thereof to Parent.

49

accelerated vesting and payment of Stock Options, and other payments, which would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code (the “Potential 280G Payments”), a waiver (in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) of such person’s rights to some or all of the potential 280G benefits (the “Waived Benefits”) so that all remaining Potential 280G Payments applicable to such person shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code and subject to the imposition of additional Tax under Section 4999 of the Code; and (b) seek (in a form and manner reasonably acceptable to Parent) approval of the Stockholders of payment of the Potential 280G Payments in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1 (the “280G Approval”) of the Waived Benefits. To the extent that the 280G Approval is not obtained with respect to any Waived Benefits, the Company will not pay or provide any such Waived Benefits, and the “disqualified individual” shall have no further rights with respect to such Waived Benefits.

4.16 Stockholder Approval.

9.11 Waiver of Conflict.

(a) Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) acknowledges and agrees that DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper”) has acted as counsel for the Sellers and the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, DLA Piper has not acted as counsel for Parent or any Affiliate thereof.

(b) Only the Sellers, the Company (prior to the Effective Time) and their respective Affiliates shall be considered clients of DLA Piper in the Acquisition Engagement. Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between the Sellers, the Company and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and DLA Piper, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely to the Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Company), and not the Company, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by the Parent or the Surviving Corporation upon or after the Closing. Accordingly, the Parent shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of DLA Piper relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the

76

foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of DLA Piper in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Sellers and their Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (ii) DLA Piper shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Corporation or the Parent by reason of any attorney-client relationship between DLA Piper and the Company or otherwise; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, DLA Piper shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of the Sellers and their Affiliates; provided that such representatives, accounts and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney-client communications). If and to the extent that, at any time subsequent to Closing, the Parent or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between the Company or its Affiliates and any Person representing them that occurred at any time prior to the Closing, the Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of the Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) The Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) acknowledges and agrees that DLA Piper has acted as counsel for one or more of the Sellers, the Company and their respective Affiliates for several years and that the Sellers reasonably anticipate that DLA Piper may continue to represent them and/or their Affiliates in future matters. Accordingly, the Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) expressly consents to DLA Piper’s representation of the Sellers and/or their Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing Persons so desire) in any post-Closing matter arising from this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement in which the interests of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Sellers or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse.

(d) The Sellers, the Company and the Parent consent to the arrangements in this Section 9.11 and waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by DLA Piper permitted hereunder.

THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH DISPUTE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR ANY DEFENSE OF INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH DISPUTE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. EACH PARTY AGREES TO ACCEPT SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER INITIAL PLEADING MADE IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES IN SECTION 9.9. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9.12 HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR INITIAL PLEADING IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OVER ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH DISPUTE OR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATED THERETO SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS.

THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT A JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

9.13 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that, if any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other document contemplated by this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and, therefore, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and thereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause Parent and Acquisition Corp. to effect the Closing if and only if (a) all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature would be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to

78

such conditions’ being satisfied assuming a Closing would occur); (b) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Parent that the Company stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded and Parent complies with its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Closing would occur, (c) the amounts committed to be funded under the Debt Commitment Letter have been funded or will be funded at the Closing, and (d) Parent fails to consummate the Closing in accordance with Section 1.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company or any Seller be entitled to (i) obtain both specific performance pursuant to this Section 9.13 and the Termination Fee or (ii) seek specific performance after the Termination Fee has been paid in full.

9.14 No Third-Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is being entered into solely for the benefit of the Parties, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.2, the Parties do not intend that any other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of the covenants by either the Company or the Parent contained in this Agreement.

9.15 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Parent and the Stockholder Representative. No waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 6.2, Section 6.3(b), Section 9.7, Section 9.12(a), Section 9.12(c), this Section 9.15 and Section 9.18 may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner adverse in any material respect to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source, and the Debt Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of, and entitled to enforce, such sections.

9.16 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By the execution and delivery of its respective Letter of Transmittal, each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Fortis Advisors LLC as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of such Seller with full power of substitution to act jointly in the name, place and stead of the Sellers with respect to the transfer of the shares of Company Capital Stock owned by the Sellers to Parent in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to act on behalf of the Sellers in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Stockholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the power to (i) execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, stock powers, certificates and documents that the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) receive funds, make payments of funds, and to withhold a portion of any amounts to be paid to the Sellers hereunder or any other payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement to pay any amounts that the Stockholder Representative has incurred or reasonably expects to incur in connection with the

79

Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement, including amounts required to pay the fees and expenses of professionals incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Sellers that the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as the Sellers could do if personally present, and (iv) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Sellers, except as expressly provided herein, in the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and in the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Allocation Schedule, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Seller or other Party.

(b) The appointment of the Stockholder Representative and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative Group hereunder: (i) shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Seller of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds. Parent and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry and without any liability whatsoever, upon any action of the Stockholder Representative in all matters referred to herein. The Sellers hereby confirm all that the Stockholder Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as the Stockholder Representative of Sellers. All actions taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement shall be binding upon each Seller and such Seller’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Seller, and all defenses which may be available to any Seller to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement are waived.

(c) Certain Sellers have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholder Representative to provide direction to the Stockholder Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement (such Sellers, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). The Stockholder Representative shall act for all Sellers on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement in the manner the Stockholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Sellers and consistent with the obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement but neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”) shall be responsible to the Sellers for any losses or damages the Sellers

80

may suffer by the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement. The Sellers shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative Group from and against any losses, claims, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement or damages (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”), other than any such Stockholder Representative Expenses arising from willful violation of any applicable Law or gross negligence in the performance of its duties as the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement. Such Stockholder Representative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Reserve Account, and, second, from the Sellers. The Stockholder Representative may, in all questions arising hereunder, rely on the advice of counsel and other professionals, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Stockholder Representative based on such advice, the Stockholder Representative Group shall not be liable to anyone. The Sellers acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties, or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security, or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(d) An amount equal to $250,000 or such lesser amount determined to be reasonable by the Stockholder Representative (and set forth in a written notice delivered by the Stockholder Representative to the Parent and the Sellers at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date) (the “Expense Reserve Amount”) shall be deducted from the Aggregate Initial Merger Consideration to be distributed to the Sellers at the Closing, which Expense Reserve Amount shall be maintained by the Stockholder Representative in a segregated account (the “Expense Reserve Account”). The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Reserve Account other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Reserve Account, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Stockholder Representative may withhold additional proceeds from the Transactions from time to time received by it for deposit in the Expense Reserve Account as it deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to ensure that sufficient funds are on deposit therein to satisfy any amounts owed by the Sellers or the Stockholder Representative hereunder. In addition, from time to time upon the request of the Stockholder Representative, each Seller agrees to contribute such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any additional amount that the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to deposit into the Expense Reserve Account. The Stockholder Representative may use the funds in the Expense Reserve Account to pay the Stockholder Representative Expenses incurred by the

81

Stockholder Representative under the authorization granted in Section 9.16(a). Any Expense Reserve Amount remaining after payment of all of the Stockholder Representative’s expenses following the later of (i) the resolution of all adjustments under Section 1.11 hereof and the determination by the Stockholder Representative that such funds are no longer necessary and (ii) the payment of the maximum amount recoverable by the Parent from the Sellers, if any, shall be distributed to the Paying Agent (prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date) or the Surviving Corporation (following the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date) for further distribution to the Sellers, subject to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Share, as set forth in the Allocation Schedule. The Stockholder Representative shall hold, invest, reinvest, and disburse the Expense Reserve Account in trust for all of Sellers, and the Expense Reserve Account shall not be used for any other purpose and shall not be available to the Parent to satisfy any claims hereunder. The Sellers will not receive any interest on the Expense Reserve Account and assign to the Stockholder Representative any such interest. Any Stockholder Representative Expense, Liability, or obligation that the Stockholder Representative incurs or pays on behalf of a Seller or group of Sellers shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller(s) on whose behalf such expenses were paid. In the event any Seller does not promptly reimburse the Stockholder Representative for any such Stockholder Representative Expense, Liability, or obligation, the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to withhold and keep such amount from any payments to be made to such Seller hereunder

(e) The Stockholder Representative shall promptly notify Parent in the event of its replacement by a successor Stockholder Representative. If the Stockholder Representative shall resign, dissolve, cease to exist or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities as representative of the Sellers, the Stockholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time representing a majority of the voting power of all such Capital Stock then outstanding (a “Stockholders Majority”) shall, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such event, appoint a successor representative and, promptly thereafter, shall notify the Company of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall become the “Stockholder Representative” for purposes of this Agreement, the Letters of Transmittal and the other documents contemplated hereby and thereby. If for any reason there is no Stockholder Representative at any time, all references herein or in the Letters of Transmittal or the other documents contemplated hereby and thereby to the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders themselves acting by a vote or written consent of the Stockholders Majority, as applicable.

(f) Neither Parent, nor any of Parent’s Related Parties nor any agent, consultant, legal, accounting, financial or other advisor or other representative of such Person will be liable to the Company, any Seller, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person as a result of, in connection with, or relating to the performance of the Stockholder Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement, including with respect to any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, breach of duty or otherwise of the Stockholder Representative. From and after the Closing, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any of Parent’s Related Parties nor any agent, consultant, legal, accounting, financial, or other advisor or other representative of such Person shall have any liability to the Stockholder Representative, any Seller, or any other Person for (i) any calculation or allocation under the Allocation Schedule, (ii) any amounts that have been paid to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of the Allocation Schedule and this Agreement, or (iii) any Stockholder Representative Expenses or funds, security, or indemnities provided pursuant to Section 9.16(c).

82

9.17 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The Fundamental Representations made by the Company shall survive the Closing for a period equal to the lesser of (y) six (6) years or (z) the applicable statute of limitations, and all other representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing. Each covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that is to be performed prior to the Closing shall terminate at the Closing, and each covenant or agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement that by its terms contemplates performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing until termination thereof or completion of performance thereof in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 9.17 shall not limit any Party’s right to bring claims or seek recovery for Fraud in connection with any such representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Sellers shall, on a several and not joint basis, indemnify and hold harmless Parent, Acquisition Corp., the Surviving Corporation, and each of their respective Affiliates, against any Losses arising from, resulting from, in connection with, or relating to (a) any claim asserted by the Stockholder Representative, any Seller, or any third party, in each case, in connection with any inaccuracy, error, or omission in the Allocation Schedule, including any failure of the Company or the Stockholder Representative to correctly calculate the amounts owing to a Seller or to correctly distribute to any Seller the amounts of any payments made by (or on behalf of) Parent to or for the benefit of the Sellers; (b) any breach of duty or obligation by the Stockholder Representative in the performance of the Stockholder Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, or the Paying Agent Agreement; (c) any Leakage (unless Section 4.17 has terminated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.17(c)); and (d) any claim asserted by any Founder Proceeds Recipient or any Seller in connection with the payment of the Founder Proceeds Amount, including any failure of the Company or any Founder Stockholder to correctly calculate or allocate payment of the Founder Proceeds Amount and any Taxes arising out of the payment of the Founder Proceeds Amount to the Founder Proceeds Recipients as directed by Section 1.12. The Parent acknowledges and agrees that, (i) from and after the Closing, the Parent and its Affiliates shall not have any remedy against the Sellers or their Affiliates, and neither the Sellers nor any other Person shall have any liability to the Parent or any Affiliate thereof, for any Losses arising out of or relating to (A) omissions, misstatements, inaccuracies or breaches of the representations and warranties made by the Company contained in this Agreement (other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations made by the Company, for which the Sellers shall be liable, on a several and not joint basis, subject to and in accordance with this Section 9.17, and other than with respect to Fraud in connection with any such representation or warranty), or (B) violations, breaches or non-performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that is to be performed prior to the Closing, in each case, 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, and no claims with respect thereto may be made against the Sellers or any Affiliate thereof; (ii) the Parent’s and its Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy for such matters set forth in the preceding clause (i)(A) shall be against the R&W Insurance Policy; (iii) the amount of any Losses under this Section 9.17 for which Sellers may be liable shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered (net of all costs of collection) by the Parent and its Affiliates with respect to such Losses under any insurance policy, including the R&W Insurance Policy; (iv) the Parent and its

83

Affiliates shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain full recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy for any Loss indemnifiable under this Section 9.17 prior to seeking recovery from the Sellers, on a several and not joint basis, in respect thereof; (v) the Sellers shall not become liable with respect to the matters set forth in the preceding clause (i)(A) (including with respect to any Fundamental Representation) as a result of any rights of subrogation under the R&W Insurance Policy (other than in the case of fraud, as such term is defined in the R&W Insurance Policy), which subrogation rights shall be limited to the rights of the Parent under this Agreement; and (vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, except in the case of Fraud, (A) in no event shall the maximum amount of all Losses for which the Sellers may be liable under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement exceed the Aggregate Merger Consideration and in no event shall the maximum individual liability of any Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which such Seller is a party exceed such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Merger Consideration actually paid to such Seller. The Parties hereto agree that, from and after the Closing, except in the case of Fraud, and except with respect to disputes under Section 1.11 (which shall be resolved pursuant to Section 1.11), the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties for any Losses based upon, arising out of, or otherwise in respect of this Agreement (including representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements) and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based in contract, tort, equity, or Law, or otherwise, are the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 9.17 and the R&W Insurance Policy.

9.18 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may be enforced only against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. With respect to each named Party to this Agreement, except in the case of Fraud, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, general or limited partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, financing source or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named Party or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Parties to this Agreement, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or (except in the case of Fraud) seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any party hereto be entitled to enforce this Agreement against, or raise any action, claim, cause of action, suit, inquire, proceeding or investigation against the Debt Financing Sources arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Debt Financing or the performances of the services with respect thereto); provided that nothing in this Section 9.18 shall in any way limit or qualify the obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter to each other thereunder or in connection therewith.
