NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1. THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 3.2), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Colorado Code and the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of ATS. Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 7-90-204 of the Colorado Code.

1.3 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub (except that all references to Merger Sub in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to “ACT Teleconferencing, Inc.”) (the “Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation”), and, as so amended, such Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation shall be the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub (except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to “ACT Teleconferencing, Inc.”) (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”), and, as so amended, such Second Amended and Restated Bylaws shall be the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Legal Requirements, and as provided in the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Second Amended and Restated Bylaws.

1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

2. MERGER CONSIDERATION AND CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES

2.1 Merger Consideration. The aggregate merger consideration shall be an amount in cash equal to $53,000,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2 and to indemnification claims under Article 11 (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

2.2 Net Monetary Assets Adjustments. The Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Company will deliver to ATS a statement (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”), consistent with the guidelines and sample calculation set forth in Exhibit A, reflecting the estimated Net Monetary Assets (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Monetary Assets”) as of the Closing Date. If the Estimated Closing Date Net Monetary Assets are less than the Target Net Monetary Assets, the amount of such deficiency shall be deducted from the Aggregate Merger Consideration. If the Estimated Closing Date Net Monetary Assets are greater than the Target Net Monetary Assets, the amount of such excess shall be added to the Aggregate Merger Consideration. The Aggregate Merger Consideration as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall be deemed to be the “Closing Date Aggregate Merger Consideration.”

(b) Within five (5) days following the Collection Calculation Date, ATS will deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement (the “Final Adjustment Statement”), consistent with the guidelines and sample calculation set forth in Exhibit A and the provisions of Section 2.2(c), reflecting the final calculation of the Net Monetary Assets (the “Closing Date Net Monetary Assets”) as of the Closing Date. If the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets are less than the Estimated Closing Date Net Monetary Assets, the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be decreased (the “Downward Adjustment”), on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of such deficiencies (the “Downward Adjustment Amount”, which shall exclusively be effected by a payment to ATS from the Escrow pursuant to Section 2.2(e) absent fraud or intentional misrepresentation). If the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets are greater than the Estimated Closing Date Net Monetary Assets, the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased (the “Upward Adjustment”), on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of such excess (the “Upward Adjustment Amount”, which shall be effected by a payment by ATS in cash to the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.2(e)).

(c) For purposes of preparing the Final Adjustment Statement, ATS will reflect in the calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets only those Accounts Receivable that existed on the Closing Date for which cash has been received by the Company during the period following the Closing Date through the Collection Calculation Date, less any reasonable and necessary third party costs incurred by the Company in collection of such amounts. For avoidance of doubt, collections of Accounts Receivable that existed on the Closing Date, but not partially or fully reflected in the Estimated Adjustment Statement due to application of the Company's account receivable write off or write down policies prior to the Closing Date, shall count towards the determination of collections and no reserve for doubtful accounts would apply to the collected balances. The applications of receipts from customers to particular Accounts Receivable shall be determined as directed by customers or as otherwise ascertainable from the Company's records. From and after the Closing, the Company shall use, and ATS shall insure that the Company uses, commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with ATS’s practices applicable to ATS’s other receivable collections, in pursuing the collection of all Accounts Receivable that existed on the Closing Date.

(d) The Shareholders’ Representative will review the Final Adjustment Statement and the calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets. If Shareholders’ Representative disputes the calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Final Adjustment Statement, Shareholders’ Representative shall notify ATS in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) of the disputed amount, Shareholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets and the nature and basis of such dispute. If Shareholders’ Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice within the prescribed period, the calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets as reflected on the Final Adjustment Statement shall be final and conclusive. If Shareholders’ Representative delivers a Dispute Notice within the prescribed period, ATS shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Dispute Notice to dispute Shareholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets. If ATS fails to dispute such calculation, then Shareholders’ Representative’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets shall be final and conclusive. In the event of a dispute concerning items set forth in the Dispute Notice, ATS and Shareholders’ Representative shall first use their diligent good faith efforts to resolve such dispute between themselves. In the event ATS and Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to any of the specific items set forth in the Dispute Notice utilized in calculating the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets within thirty (30) days following the date of Shareholders’ Representative’s objection (or such longer period as Shareholders’ Representative and ATS may jointly agree), the specific items set forth in the Dispute Notice which are the subject of disagreement shall be determined by an independent national firm of certified public accountants mutually agreeable to ATS and Shareholders’ Representative (the “Accountants”). If Dispute Notice items are submitted to the Accountants for resolution, (i) each party shall furnish to the Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may request and are available to that party, and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Accountants, (ii) the determination by the Accountants of the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets as set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountants in accordance herewith, will be binding and conclusive on the parties, and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Accountants for such determination shall be paid, in its entirety, by the party (the Shareholders’ Representative, on the one hand, or ATS, on the other hand) whose calculation of Closing Date Net Monetary Assets (as set forth in the Dispute Notice, in the case of the Shareholders’ Representative, or as set forth in the Final Adjustment Statement, in the case of ATS) is furthest away from the amount finally determined by the Accountants as the Final Closing Date Net Monetary Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accountants shall only resolve specific issues in dispute between the parties as set forth in the Dispute Notice in determining the Closing Date Net Monetary Assets. The Closing Date Net Monetary Assets as agreed to by the parties or determined by the Accountants, as the case may be, shall be the “Final Closing Date Net Monetary Assets.”

(e) Payments on Account of Adjustments. In the case of a Downward Adjustment, ATS and the Shareholders’ Representative shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to pay the Downward Adjustment Amount to ATS from the Escrow (as defined in Section 3.3(a)) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as defined in Section 3.3(a)). In the case of an Upward Adjustment, ATS shall immediately pay the Upward Adjustment Amount in cash to Shareholders’ Representative, and such additional amount, if any, shall be deemed to be part of the Payment Fund and, along with the Escrow, subject to distributions by the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

(f) For purposes of complying with the terms of this Section 2.2: (i) ATS and the Surviving Corporation shall make available to Shareholders’ Representative and its representatives during normal business hours (A) all working papers relating to the preparation of the Final Adjustment Statement and any supporting schedules, supporting analyses and other supporting documentation relating to the preparation of the Final Adjustment Statement and (B) provide access to such personnel as may be reasonably requested; provided, however, the availability of the foregoing to Shareholders’ Representative and its representatives shall be subject to their execution and delivery of a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to ATS and the Surviving Corporation; and (ii) the Shareholders’ Representative shall make available to ATS and the Surviving Corporation and their representatives during normal business hours (A) all working papers relating to the preparation of the Dispute Notice and any supporting schedules, supporting analyses and other supporting documentation relating to the preparation of the Dispute Notice and (B) provide access to such personnel as may be reasonably requested; provided, however, the availability of the foregoing to ATS and the Surviving Corporation and their representatives shall be subject to their execution and delivery of a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Shareholders’ Representative.

2.3 Conversion of Company Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Capital Stock:

(a) Subject to Sections 2.10 and 3.3: (i) each issued and outstanding share of Company Capital Stock (excluding any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.3(b)) shall be converted into that portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to which the holder is entitled in the event of a “Liquidation Event” pursuant to Section 7 of Annex I of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The holders of outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in such conversion such preferential portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as may be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of Annex I of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The holders of outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in such conversion such residual portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, if any, as may be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company and subject to Section 7 of Annex I of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company. A schedule setting forth the allocation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration among the Company Shareholders is attached to this Agreement as Annex A is attached to this Agreement as Annex A; provided that the Shareholders’ Representative may amend Annex A by providing notice of such amendment to the other parties hereto at any time prior to the Closing Date as necessary to reflect the allocation described in this Section 2.3(a).

(b) Each share of Company Capital Stock held in Company’s treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock of any class or series which is not being converted into the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and Annex A hereto, and each share of Company Capital Stock owned beneficially or of record by ATS or Merger Sub, shall automatically be cancelled and retired without payment therefor, and all rights in respect thereto shall cease to exist.

2.4 Conversion of Merger Sub Shares. As of the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, automatically be converted into and thereafter evidence one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Treatment of Company Options. Each outstanding and unexercised Company Option heretofore granted by the Company, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled. All Company Option Plans and any other option or equity incentive plan, other than the Value Participation Plan, shall terminate as of the Effective Time. After the date hereof, the Company will not issue any Options.

2.6 Dissenters’ Rights. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Capital Stock (excluding any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.3(b)) shall be converted as of the Effective Time into a portion of the Adjusted Aggregate Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.3(a), notwithstanding that certain holders of shares of Company Capital Stock are entitled to demand payment for their shares pursuant to the provisions of Title 7, Article 113 of the Colorado Code (“Article 113”); provided that if any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock is entitled to demand and properly demands payment for such shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, the provisions of Article 113, then the right of such holder to receive the consideration for its Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 2.3(a) shall cease and such holder shall instead be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Article 113. Any Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been canceled at the Effective Time, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall have no rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Article 113. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to dissent under Article 113, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Article 113, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Article 113 shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the consideration as provided in Section 2.3(a), without interest on the payment, and such holders shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7, 3.3 and 11.2(a)(v) hereof, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares. Company shall give ATS (i) prompt notice of any written demands for dissenters’ rights or appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the Colorado Code (including instruments concerning appraisal or dissenters’ rights) and received by Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Neither Company nor ATS shall, prior to Closing, except with the prior written Consent of the other party, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall not, after Closing, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for dissenters’ rights or the appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands until such Company Shareholder exercising dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights has properly demanded payment for its Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Colorado Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that ATS or Company (i) makes any payment or payments after the Effective Time in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) incurs any Damages in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) (together, the “Dissenting Share Payments”), ATS shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Article 11 hereof the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments.

2.7 Closing of Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of Company, and the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after such time, any such certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in Sections 2.3, 3.3 and 3.7, as applicable.

2.8 No Liability. Neither ATS nor Company shall be liable to any Company Shareholder in respect of any monies properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement.

2.9 Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by ATS to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or ATS with full right, title and possession of and to all rights, properties and assets of Merger Sub and Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and ATS shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of Company or otherwise) to take such action.

2.10 Withholding Rights. Each of ATS and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Shareholder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by ATS or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by ATS or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

Each of Company and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and are in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties and assets owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification, except for such failures to be qualified and in good standing, if any, that when taken together with all such other failures would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such jurisdictions in the United States in which Company and/or its Subsidiaries is so qualified are set forth on Schedule 4.1(a) of the Disclosure Memorandum.

(b) Schedule 4.1(b) of the Disclosure Memorandum lists all Subsidiaries of Company and indicates as to each and to Company its jurisdiction of organization and its directors and officers. Other than as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b) of the Disclosure Memorandum, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, any equity, partnership, membership or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into, exercisable for the purchase of or exchangeable for any such equity, partnership, membership or similar interest, and is not under any current or prospective obligation to form or participate in, provide funds to, make any loan, capital contribution or other investment in, or assume any Liability or obligation of, any Person. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b) of the Disclosure Memorandum, Company has delivered to ATS correct and complete copies of, the Organizational Documents of the Company and each Subsidiary of Company, as currently in effect on the date hereof.

4.2 Authority; No Conflict.

(a) Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, the “Contemplated Transactions”).

(f) For purposes of determining the amount of Damages based on any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, the parties hereto shall disregard any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

11.3 Indemnification by ATS and PGi.

(a) ATS and PGi, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and defend the Company Shareholders and the Shareholders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, employees and Stockholders (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any Damages incurred or suffered by them relating to or arising out of any of the following:

(i) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by PGi, ATS or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which any of PGi, ATS or Merger Sub is a party;

(ii) any breach of or failure by ATS to perform any covenant or obligation of ATS set out in this Agreement;

(iv) Liabilities or obligations arising solely from the post-Merger operations of the Business; or

(v) any Dissenting Share Payments made without the Consent of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(b) Following the Closing, Company shall not have any Liability to any Selling Shareholder or any other Person as a result of any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or breach of the representations and warranties made by, or a breach of any covenant of Company in this Agreement. No Selling Shareholder shall have any right of indemnification or contribution against Company on account of any event or condition or occurring or existing prior to or on the date of the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing, each Selling Shareholder hereby forever releases and discharges Company and its officers and directors from any and all promises, agreements or Liabilities of any nature whatsoever, which such Selling Shareholder now has, has had, or may hereafter claim to have had against such Person by reason of any matter, act, omission, cause, or event that has occurred through the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, any payments due to Company Shareholders in respect of indemnification obligations of ATS and PGi hereunder shall be paid to such Company Shareholders pro rata based on such Company’s Shareholder’s Relative Proportionate Percentage.

11.4 Notice of Claims; Assumption of Defense; Settlement or Compromise. To seek indemnification under this Article 11, the indemnified party shall give prompt notice to the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders is the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative), in accordance with the terms of Section 14.3, of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefor and giving the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders is the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders is the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) may reasonably request (but the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to indemnification hereunder). If the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) confirms in writing to the indemnified party within 15 days after receipt of a notice of a claim commenced by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) the indemnifying party’s responsibility to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party therefor the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) may elect to assume control over the compromise or defense of such Third Party Claim at the expense of the indemnifying party and by counsel selected by the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, by counsel selected by the Shareholders’ Representative), which counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) so elects to assume control over the compromise and defense of such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) shall within such 15 days (or sooner, if the nature of the asserted Third Party Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of the agreement of the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, of the agreement of the Shareholders’ Representative) to do so, and the indemnified party shall cooperate, at the expense of the indemnifying party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that: (i) the indemnified party may, if such indemnified party so desires, employ counsel at such indemnified party’s own expense to assist in the handling (but not control the defense) of any Third Party Claim; (ii) the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) shall keep the indemnified party advised of all material events with respect to any Third Party Claim; (iii) the indemnifying party (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative) shall obtain the prior written approval of the indemnified party before ceasing to defend against any Third Party Claim or entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third Party Claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against any indemnified party or any of its or his Affiliates; and (iv) no indemnifying party will (or, in the event one or more Selling Shareholders are the indemnifying party, the Shareholders’ Representative will not), without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any such indemnified party is a party to such action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and includes an unconditional release of all such indemnified parties from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim.

11.5 Tax Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, Article 8A shall be the sole remedy to any claim for indemnity with respect to Tax Matters.

11.6 Double Claims. No ATS Indemnified Party and no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from any indemnifying party under this Article 11 or under any Transaction Document more than once in respect of the same Damage (notwithstanding that such Damage may result from breaches of multiple provisions of this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no ATS Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Liability to the extent included in the calculation of Closing Date Net Monetary Assets.

11.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

11.8 Mitigation of Losses. ATS, PGi and each of the other ATS Indemnified Parties shall, and shall cause the Company to, procure that all reasonable steps are taken and all reasonable assistance is given (including the taking of any actions reasonably requested by an indemnifying party) to avoid or mitigate any Damages for which any ATS Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article 11 and, in the event that any ATS Indemnified Party fails to so mitigate an indemnifiable Damage, the indemnifying parties shall have no liability for any portion of such Damage that could reasonably be avoided; provided, however, that any failure or alleged failure to avoid or mitigate any Damages shall not preclude the ATS Indemnified Parties from making any indemnity claim.

12. SHAREHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

12.1 Authority. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Shareholder shall be deemed to have appointed Dolphin Direct Equity Partners LP (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) to serve as the sole and exclusive representative of the Company Shareholders, and their respective successors, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and as attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Company Shareholder. ATS shall be entitled to rely on written notice from Dolphin Direct Equity Partners LP in its capacity as Shareholders’ Representative.

The appointment and agency created hereby is irrevocable, and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Execution of this Agreement by the Selling Shareholders, representing at least a majority of the shares of Series AA Preferred Stock and Company Stock, voting together as a single class, shall constitute agreement by the Company Shareholders to be bound by the actions of the Shareholders’ Representative taken hereunder and under any other Transaction Document. In addition, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have all such incidental powers as may be necessary or desirable to carry into effect the provisions of this Section 12.1, including, at the expense of the Company Shareholders, to retain attorneys, accountants and other advisors to assist it in the performance of its duties hereunder and to satisfy indemnity obligations, if any, of a Selling Shareholder in excess of amounts payable from the Escrow.

12.2 Successors.

Any such successor Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed to be a Shareholders’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

12.3 Actions; Indemnification. All decisions and actions by the Shareholders’ Representative, including without limitation any agreement between the Shareholders’ Representative and ATS or the Escrow Agent relating to indemnification obligations of the Selling Shareholders under Article 11, including the defense or settlement of any claims and the making of payments with respect hereto, shall be binding upon all of the Company Shareholders, and their respective successors, and no Company Shareholders, or any of their respective successors, shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Shareholders’ Representative shall incur no Liability to the Company Shareholders, or any of their respective successors, with respect to any action taken or suffered by the Shareholders’ Representative in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, Consent, statement or other documents believed by the Shareholders’ Representative to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for any other action or inaction with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Selling Shareholders under Article 11, including the defense or settlement of any claims and the making of payments with respect thereto, except to the extent resulting from the Shareholders’ Representative’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Shareholders’ Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, rely on the advice of counsel, and shall not be liable to the Company Shareholders, or any of their respective successors, for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Shareholders’ Representative. The Company Shareholders shall indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative and hold the Shareholders’ Representative harmless against any loss, Liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. ATS and the Escrow Agent shall be able to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Shareholders’ Representative with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Selling Shareholders under Article 11, including the defense or settlement of any claims or the making of payments with respect thereto, or as to any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and no party hereunder shall have any cause of action against ATS or the Escrow Agent to the extent ATS or the Escrow Agent has relied upon the instructions or decisions of the Shareholders’ Representative.

12.4 Shareholders’ Representative Fees and Expenses. The Shareholders’ Representative may incur out-of-pocket costs and expenses on behalf of the Company Shareholders in its capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative, including with respect to the determination of the merger consideration pursuant to Article 2 and the indemnification obligations of the Selling Shareholders under Article 11 (“Shareholders’ Representative Expenses”).

Upon reasonable notice and subject to a confidentiality undertaking in form and substance satisfactory to ATS, during normal business hours during the period after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford to the Shareholders’ Representative reasonable access to such personnel and records (other than privileged documents) as the Shareholders’ Representative may reasonably request in connection with the discharge of its duties hereunder.
