(a) Seller has timely filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements, registration statements, prospectuses and other documents required to be filed or furnished by Seller with the SEC under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto. Except to the extent available on the SEC’s website through XXXXX, Seller has delivered to Buyer copies in the form filed with the SEC of all of the following: (i) Seller’s annual reports on Form 10-K for each fiscal year of Seller beginning with the first year Seller was required to file such a form, (ii) Seller’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for each fiscal quarter that Seller filed such reports to disclose its quarterly financial results in each of the fiscal years of Seller referred to in clause (i) above, (iii) all other forms, reports, registration statements, prospectuses and other documents (other than preliminary materials) filed by Seller with the SEC since the beginning of the first fiscal year referred to in clause (i) above (the forms, reports, registration statements, prospectuses and other documents referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and this clause (iii), whether or not available through XXXXX, collectively, the “SEC Reports”) and (iv) all certifications and statements required by (A) Rules 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, and (B) 18 U.S.C. §1350 (Section 906 of SOX) with respect to any report referred to in clause (i) above (collectively, the “Public Certifications”). The SEC Reports (x) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (y) did not, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and at the time they were filed with the SEC (in the case of all other SEC Reports) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect to Seller or the SEC Reports. As of the date hereof, (i) none of the SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comments and (ii) neither the SEC nor any other Governmental Authority is conducting any investigation or review of any SEC Report. The Public Certifications are each true as of their respective dates of filing. As used in this Section 3.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner permitted by SEC rules and regulations in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

(b) The consolidated financial statements and notes of Seller contained or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports (the “Seller Financials”), fairly present in all material respects the financial position and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of Seller at the respective dates of and, for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance with (i) GAAP methodologies applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and for the omission of notes and audit adjustments in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable).

(c) Seller has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 and paragraph (e) of Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Seller’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by Seller in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Seller’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Seller’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Seller’s disclosure controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable SEC Report, or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. Based on Seller’s management’s most recently completed evaluation of Seller’s internal control over financial reporting, (i) Seller had no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Seller’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) Seller does not have knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Seller’s internal control over financial reporting.

-8-

3.26. No Brokers. Neither Seller, any Ameri Company, nor any of their respective Representatives on their behalf, has employed any broker, finder or investment banker or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions, finders’ fees or similar fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.27. Investment Representations.

(a) Seller: (i) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act; (ii) is acquiring the Buyer Preferred Stock hereunder for itself for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards any resale or distribution thereof, other than a distribution to the existing holders of Seller’s outstanding preferred stock (the “Seller Distribution”), which such Seller Distribution shall be done in compliance with all applicable securities laws and for which Seller will obtain similar representations from such holders to those set forth in this Section 3.27; (iii) has been advised and understands that the Buyer Preferred Stock and any shares of common stock of Buyer issuable upon conversion thereof (together, the “Buyer Shares”) (x) are being sold in reliance upon one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws, and (y) have not been and shall not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws and, therefore, must be held indefinitely and cannot be resold unless the Buyer Shares are registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, unless exemptions from registration are available; (iv) is aware that an investment in Buyer is a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss; and (v) has not seen, received, been presented with, or been solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, newspaper or magazine article or advertisement, radio or television advertisement relating to Buyer. Seller fully understands and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its acquisition of the Buyer Shares for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, (A) there is no established market for any of the Buyer Shares and (B) the Buyer Shares cannot be readily resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of to the extent registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities Laws is required or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Seller acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation hereunder to register any Buyer Shares under the Securities Act.

-18-

(b) By reason of Seller’s business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of Seller’s “purchaser representatives” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(h) under the Securities Act), Seller is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in Buyer and of protecting its interests in connection with this investment. Seller has carefully read and understands all materials provided by Buyer to Seller pertaining to an investment in Buyer through the acquisition of the Buyer Preferred Stock, including the Buyer Charter Amendment, the Buyer Bylaw Amendment and the Buyer Preferred Stock CoD, and has consulted, as Seller has deemed advisable, with its own attorneys, accountants or investment advisors with respect to the investment contemplated hereby and its suitability for Seller. Seller understands that no United States federal or state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed on or made recommendations or endorsement of the Buyer Shares or other securities of Buyer or the suitability of the investment in the Buyer Shares or other securities of Buyer nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Buyer Shares. Seller has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive information and answers from a Person or Persons acting on behalf of Buyer concerning information about Buyer, its business, operations, financial condition, prospects and the offering of the Buyer Shares, and all questions have been answered and all such information has been provided to the full satisfaction of Seller. Seller acknowledges that all documents, records and books pertaining to Seller’s acquisition of the Buyer Shares have been made available for inspection as requested by Seller or its representatives, and Seller has considered all factors Seller deems material in deciding on the advisability of investing in the Buyer Shares. Seller (i) has completed its independent inquiry and has relied fully upon the advice of its own legal counsel, accountant, financial and other advisors in determining the legal, tax, financial and other consequences of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the suitability of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby for Seller and its particular circumstances, and, except as set forth herein, has not relied upon any representations or advice by Buyer or any of its Representatives and (ii) is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold the Buyer Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of its investment in Buyer through the Buyer Shares. Seller is not barred or suspended from membership in or barred or suspended from association with a member of any self-regulatory or regulatory securities or futures exchange or agency, and Seller is not otherwise barred from taking a direct or indirect ownership interest in Buyer.

(c) Seller acknowledges that pursuant to the Buyer Charter Amendment, the Buyer Bylaw Amendment and the Buyer Preferred Stock CoD, the Buyer Shares may be subject to dilution for events not under the control of Seller. Other than the Seller Distribution, Seller does not have any Contract with any Person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such Person, or to any third Person, with respect to any Buyer Shares.

(d) Seller acknowledges that the Buyer Shares shall bear the following or similar legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THIS ISSUER, IS AVAILABLE.”

3.28. No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, Seller make no express or implied representations or warranties, and hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties, whether made orally or in writing, by or on behalf of Seller by any Person.

Buyer is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification or license is required, except where the failure to be so qualified or be so licensed would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and discharge its obligations under, this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which Buyer is a party (a “Buyer Material Adverse Effect”).

-19-

4.2. Authorization. Buyer has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which Buyer is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Buyer.

4.3. Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document by Buyer, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will violate or conflict with or (with or without notice or the passage of time or both) constitute a breach or default under (a) any provision of the Governing Documents of Buyer, (b) any Law or Order to which Buyer or any of its business or assets are bound or subject or (c) any Contract or Permit to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer or any of its properties may be bound or affected, other than, in the cases of clauses (a) through (c), such violations and conflicts which would not reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

4.7. Investment Intent. Buyer is acquiring the Purchased Shares for its own account and not with a view to its distribution within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto.

5.2. Confidentiality. Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives to: (a) treat and hold in strict confidence any Confidential Information, and will not use for any purpose (except in furtherance of their authorized duties on behalf of Buyer, the Ameri Companies or their respective Affiliates), nor directly or indirectly disclose, distribute, publish, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party any of the Confidential Information without Buyer’s prior written consent; (b) in the event that Seller becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, to provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Buyer or an Ameri Company or their respective Affiliates may at its own expense, seek a protective order or other remedy or so that Buyer may waive compliance with this Section 5.2; (c) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or Buyer waives compliance with this Section 5.2, to furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information which is legally required to be provided as advised in writing by outside counsel and to exercise their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information; and (d) to promptly furnish to Buyer any and all copies (in whatever form or medium) of all such Confidential Information and to destroy any and all additional copies of such Confidential Information and any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared, in whole or in part, on the basis thereof.

5.4. Litigation Support. Following the Closing, in the event that and for so long as any Party is actively contesting or defending against any third party or Governmental Authority Action in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction that existing on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Ameri Companies, at the sole expense of such Party, the other Party will (i) reasonably cooperate with the contesting or defending party and its counsel in the contest or defense, (ii) make available its personnel (at the applicable per diem rate for such personnel) at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice and (iii) provide (A) such testimony (at the applicable per diem rate for any person providing such testimony) and (B) access to its non-privileged books and records as may be reasonably requested in connection with the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party.

Seller has already disclosed or will disclose to the Company as of the Closing any and all material Intellectual Property developed by Seller or its Affiliates on behalf of an Ameri Company or relating to the business of an Ameri Company and which is required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 3.13 hereof.

5.6. Release and Covenant Not to Xxx. Effective as of the Closing, Seller hereby releases and discharges each Ameri Company from and against any and all Actions, obligations, agreements, debts and Liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, both at law and in equity, which Seller now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against such Ameri Company solely in Seller’s capacity as an equity holder of any Ameri Company and arising on or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, and whether or not relating to claims pending on, or asserted after, the Closing Date. From and after the Closing, Seller hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Action, or commencing or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against an Ameri Company or its Affiliates, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the releases and restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to any claims Seller may have against any party arising from a breach of or pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

5.7. Tax Matters.

(a) Seller will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Ameri Companies for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Any Tax Returns filed pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) must be consistent with the prior Tax Returns of the Ameri Companies unless otherwise required by applicable Laws. No later than twenty (20) days prior to filing, Seller will deliver to Buyer all such Tax Returns and any related work papers and will permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Tax Return and will make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Buyer. Seller will timely pay to the appropriate Taxing Authority any Taxes of the Ameri Companies with respect to such periods.

(b) To the extent that any Tax Returns of the Ameri Companies relate to any Tax periods which begin on or before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior Tax Returns of the Ameri Companies unless otherwise required by applicable Laws and file or cause to be filed any such Tax Returns. Buyer will permit the Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least twenty (20) days prior to filing such Tax Returns and will make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Seller unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

-22-

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date will (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and (B) the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date will be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations will be made in a manner consistent with GAAP and the prior practice of the applicable Ameri Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving any Ameri Company and any Person will be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, no Ameri Company will be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(e) Seller will be responsible for any income Taxes payable by it in connection with Seller’s disposition of the Purchased Shares or incurred with respect to the Reorganization. All Taxes imposed in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Shares (“Transfer Taxes”), whether such Transfer Taxes are assessed initially against Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be borne and paid by Seller.

5.8. Pre-Closing Management of the Ameri Companies. Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer that during the period from the date hereof to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 (the “Interim Period”), except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement (including as contemplated by the Reorganization and including the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) or agreed by Buyer, each Ameri Company shall conduct its business in the Ordinary Course of Business and shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

(b) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, operating agreement or other Governing Document of an Ameri Company;

(e) make any redemption, acquisition or purchase, or offer to redeem, acquire or purchase, any shares of an Ameri Company’s capital stock or other equity securities or any rights, warrants or options to acquire any such shares of capital stock or other equity securities of an Ameri Company, except as provided under this Agreement;

(h) make any loans, advances or capital contributions to, or investments in, any other Person, or authorize any new capital expenditures or commitments for capital expenditures exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate for all such expenditures and commitments;

No later than two (2) Business Days after the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of the identity of each Person or group of Persons from whom the Seller received a written Seller Acquisition Proposal after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date and provide to Buyer (x) a copy of any Seller Acquisition Proposal made in writing and (y) a written summary of the material terms of any Seller Acquisition Proposal not made in writing (including any terms proposed orally or supplementally).

(b) Except as may relate to any Excluded Party (for so long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party) or as expressly permitted by this Section 5.9, after the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any activities permitted by Section 5.9(a) and any discussions or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to any Seller Acquisition Proposal. With respect to any Person with whom such discussions or negotiations have been terminated, the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly require such Person or group to promptly return or destroy in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement any information furnished by or on behalf of the Seller.

(c) Except as may relate to any Excluded Party (for so long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party) or as expressly permitted by this Section 5.9, from the No-Shop Period Start Date until the Closing or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Seller Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to, or provide any non-public information or data concerning the Seller or its Subsidiaries to any Person relating to, any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Seller Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement, or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle, or any other agreement relating to a Seller Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

-25-

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 5.9(b) or 5.9(c), at any time following the No-Shop Period Start Date and prior to the Special Meeting, if the Seller receives an unsolicited written Seller Acquisition Proposal from any Person that was not obtained by the Seller in violation of Sections 5.9(b) or 5.9(c), the Seller and its Representatives may contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (i) the Seller and its Representatives may provide information (including non-public information and data) regarding, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records and personnel of, the Seller and its Subsidiaries to such Person if the Seller receives from such Person (or has received from such Person) an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) make available to Buyer any non-public information concerning the Seller or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to Buyer, and (ii) the Seller and its Representatives may engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with such Person with respect to such Seller Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that prior to taking any action described in clauses (i) or (ii), the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Seller Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the commencement of the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Seller may continue to engage in the activities described in Section 5.9(a) (subject to the limitations and obligations set forth therein) with respect to, and the restrictions in Sections 5.9(b) and 5.9(c) shall not apply to, any Excluded Party (but only for so long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party), including with respect to any amended or modified Seller Acquisition Proposal submitted by any Excluded Party following the No-Shop Period Start Date.

(e) Following the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt), notify Buyer in writing of the receipt of any Seller Acquisition Proposal or any request for information from, or any negotiations sought to be initiated or resumed with, either the Seller or its Representatives concerning a Seller Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall include a copy of any Seller Acquisition Proposal made in writing. Following the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed on a prompt basis (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) of any material developments, material discussions or material negotiations regarding any Seller Acquisition Proposal, inquiry that would reasonably be expected to result in a Seller Acquisition Proposal, or request for non-public information and, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, shall promptly apprise Buyer of the status of any discussions or negotiations with respect to any of the foregoing. None of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any Contract that would prohibit them from providing such information or the information contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5.9(a) to Buyer.

-26-

(f) Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(f), neither the Seller Board nor the Special Committee or any other committee of the Seller Board shall (i)(A) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Buyer, the Special Committee Recommendation or the Seller Board Recommendation, (B) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend to the Seller’s stockholders, a Seller Acquisition Proposal or (C) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of the Seller that constitutes a Seller Acquisition Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Seller’s stockholders (including, for these purposes, by disclosing that it is taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer, provided that a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the board of directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be prohibited), within ten (10) Business Days after commencement (any of the foregoing, a “Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) authorize, adopt or approve or propose to authorize, adopt or approve, a Seller Acquisition Proposal, or cause or permit the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the Special Meeting (but not after), the Seller Board may effect a Change of Recommendation (I) if the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that, as a result of a material development or change in circumstances that occurs or arises after the execution and delivery of this Agreement relating to Seller or its Subsidiaries (other than a Superior Proposal or any of the events or occurrences of the nature described in clauses (A) through (E) of the proviso of the definition of Material Adverse Effect) that was not reasonably foreseeable or known to the Seller Board prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”), failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (II) if the Seller receives a Seller Acquisition Proposal that the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) constitutes a Superior Proposal, authorize, adopt, or approve such Superior Proposal and cause or permit the Seller to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Seller Board may only effect a Change of Recommendation and take the actions described in (1) clauses (I) or (II) if the Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VII concurrently with entering into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement and pays the Termination Fee in compliance with Section 7.2 and (2) clauses (I) or (II) if:

(i) the Seller shall have provided prior written notice to Buyer of its or the Seller Board’s intention to take such actions at least four (4) Business Days in advance of taking such action, which notice shall specify, as applicable, the details of such Intervening Event or the material terms of the Seller Acquisition Proposal received by the Seller that constitutes a Superior Proposal, including a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with, and the identity of, the party making the Seller Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, the Seller shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to, negotiate with Buyer in good faith (to the extent Buyer desires to negotiate) during such four (4) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Seller or the Seller Board not to take such actions without being in violation of the fiduciary duties of Seller’s directors; and

(iii) Seller Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement or other arrangements that may be offered in writing by Buyer by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fourth (4th) Business Day of such four (4) Business Day period and shall have determined in good faith (A) with respect to the actions described in clause (II), after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, that the Seller Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to Buyer’s revised offer and (B) with respect to the actions described in each case of clauses (I) and (II), after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that it would not be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to effect the Change of Recommendation, in each case, if such changes offered in writing by Buyer were given effect.

After compliance with the foregoing clause (2) with respect to any Superior Proposal, the Seller shall have no further obligations under the foregoing clause (2), and the Seller Board shall not be required to comply with such obligations with respect to any other Superior Proposal. After compliance with the foregoing clause (2) with respect to an Intervening Event that is not a Seller Acquisition Proposal, the Seller shall have no further obligations under the foregoing clause (2), and the Seller Board shall not be required to comply with such obligations with respect to any other Intervening Event that is not a Seller Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to an Intervening Event that is a Seller Acquisition Proposal (and is not a Superior Proposal), the Seller’s obligation to comply with the foregoing clause (2) will not be limited.

-27-

(g) Subject to the proviso in this Section 5.9, nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall be deemed to prohibit the Seller, the Seller Board or any committee of the Seller Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Seller Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Seller pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of the Seller); provided, that neither the Seller Board nor any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall effect a Change of Recommendation unless the applicable requirements of Section 5.9(f) shall have been satisfied.

5.10. Access to Information. During the Interim Period, Seller will cooperate with, and provide Buyer and its Representatives, during normal business hours, with customary access to the records, Contracts, and assets of all the Ameri Companies, and to the suppliers, customers, officers and employees of each Ameri Company, and furnish to the Buyer and its Representatives information with respect to the Ameri Companies as Buyer or its Representatives may reasonably request; provided, however, that the provision of such access will not be required to the extent that the provision of such access would unreasonably disrupt the normal business operations of the Ameri Companies or violate the terms of any confidentiality arrangement in any material respect.

5.11. Proxy Statement and Special Meeting.

(a) Except as specifically permitted by Section 5.11(b), Seller shall, in accordance with applicable Law and Seller’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws: (i) prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, a preliminary proxy statement relating to the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Seller for the Seller Stockholder Approval and (A) respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the preliminary proxy statement and promptly cause a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) to be mailed to Seller’s stockholders and (B) solicit proxies from its stockholders for the Seller Stockholder Approval and (ii) cause a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be duly called, noticed and held as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement for the purpose of obtaining the Seller Stockholder Approval. Except as specifically permitted by Section 5.11(b), the Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the Seller Board that stockholders vote in favor of this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents and the Purchase and the other Transactions. Buyer shall furnish to Seller all information concerning Buyer as Seller may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement.

(b) Seller shall comply with all applicable provisions of and rules under the Exchange Act and all applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement, the solicitation of proxies thereunder, and the calling and holding of the Special Meeting. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Proxy Statement will not, as of the filing date of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or as of the date of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that Seller shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to Buyer furnished by Buyer for inclusion in the Proxy Statement). Seller covenants and agrees that the information relating to Seller or Ameri Companies, as applicable, supplied by Seller for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will not, as of the filing date of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or as of the date of the Special Meeting, contain any statement which, at such time and in the light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading.

-28-

5.12. Director and Officer Liability and Insurance.

(a) Prior to the Closing, if requested by Buyer and then only to the extent that each Indemnified Person is not already fully covered for such periods by an insurance policy of Seller, Seller shall purchase prepaid “tail” or runoff coverage on the existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which policy will provide such directors and officers of Seller and the Ameri Companies (each, an “Indemnified Person”) with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years following the Closing for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of an Ameri Company, including with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing Date, including in respect of the Purchase and the other Transactions.

(b) The rights and obligations under this Section 5.12 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person to whom this Section 5.12 applies without the express written consent of such affected Indemnified Person.

(c) This Section 5.12 shall survive the Closing, is intended to benefit the directors and officers of the Ameri Companies and shall be binding on Seller and the Ameri Companies and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification that any Indemnified Person may have by contract or otherwise.

5.13. Reorganization. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and in any event prior to the Closing, Seller will consummate the Reorganization in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, pursuant to which (i) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary of Seller (other than the Company) will be transferred to the Company free and clear of any and all Liens (other than those imposed by such Subsidiary’s Governing Documents or by applicable securities Laws, (ii) all existing Benefit Plans of Seller that are not currently held by a Subsidiary will be transferred to the Company and (iii) Seller will transfer to an Ameri Company any and all of the properties, assets and rights used in the conduct or operation of the business of the Ameri Companies and any and all other assets of Seller other than its rights under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the Merger Agreement and any ancillary documents entered in connection therewith, and the Exchange Agreements.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION

6.1. Survival. All covenants, obligations and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement (including all Schedules, Exhibits and Annexes hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement), including any indemnification obligations, shall survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, a claim for indemnification under any subsection of Section 6.2 or 6.3 other than clause (a) thereof may be made at any time.

-29-

6.2. Indemnification by Seller. Except as otherwise limited by this ARTICLE VI, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Representatives and any assignee or successor thereof (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, any and all losses, Actions, Orders, Liabilities, damages (including consequential damages), diminution in value, Taxes, interest, penalties, Liens, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), (any of the foregoing, a “Loss”) suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party arising in whole or in part out of or resulting directly or indirectly from: (a) any non-fulfillment or breach of any unwaived covenant, obligation or agreement made by or on behalf of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate to be delivered by Seller in connection herewith; (b) any and all Liabilities for Taxes in connection with or arising out of any Ameri Company’s assets, employees, securities, activities or business on or prior to the Closing Date; (c) any Action by Person(s) who were holders of equity securities of any Ameri Company, including options, warrants, convertible debt or other convertible securities or other rights to acquire equity securities of any Ameri Company, prior to the Closing arising out of the sale, purchase, termination, cancellation, expiration, redemption or conversion of any such securities; or (d) any matter described on Schedule 6.2.

6.3. Indemnification by Buyer. Except as otherwise limited by this ARTICLE VI, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Representatives and any assignee or successor thereof (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses, suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, Seller Indemnified Party arising in whole or in part out of or resulting directly or indirectly from (a) any non-fulfillment or breach of any unwaived covenant, obligation or agreement made by or on behalf of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate to be delivered by Buyer in connection herewith, and (b) any and all Liabilities for Taxes in connection with or arising out of any Ameri Company’s assets, employees, securities, activities or business on or after to the Closing Date.

6.4. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “Indemnitee” shall refer to the Person or Persons indemnified, or entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to be indemnified, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be, and (ii) the term “Indemnitor” shall refer to the Person having the actual or alleged obligation to indemnify pursuant to such provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Seller will have the sole and exclusive right to act on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to any indemnification claims made pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, including bringing, defending, controlling and settling any claims hereunder and receiving any notices on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties.

-30-

(b) In the case of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement arising from a claim of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), an Indemnitee must give prompt written notice and, subject to the following sentence, in no case later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee’s receipt of notice of such claim, to the Indemnitor of any claim of which such Indemnitee has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder. The failure to give such notice will not, however, relieve an Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually harmed thereby. The Indemnitor will have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim in its name and at its expense, and with counsel selected by the Indemnitor unless: (i) the Indemnitor fails to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice of such third party claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor; (ii) if the Indemnitor is Seller, the applicable third party claimant is a Governmental Authority or a then-current customer of Buyer, any Ameri Company or any of their respective Affiliates; (iii) there is a material conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in the conduct of such defense where the Indemnitor’s counsel would not be permitted by professional standards applicable to such counsel to represent both parties; (iv) the applicable third party alleges claims of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; (v) such claim is criminal in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee; or (vi) the claim seeks or is reasonably expected to seek damages or other amounts that would result in all or any portion of the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification for such claim being limited by the Indemnification Cap. If the Indemnitor elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such claim, it will within fifteen (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee will, at the request and expense of the Indemnitor, cooperate in the defense of such claim. If the Indemnitor elects not to, or is not entitled under this Section 6.4(b) to, compromise or defend such claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim which has been or will be settled by the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee will not be required to refrain from paying any claim which has matured by a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and exercise thereof has been stayed, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the Indemnitee or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnitee material economic loss. The Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense will include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any claim by a third party; provided that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnitee to agree to any settlement that that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and competition restrictions) by the Indemnitee (other than the delivery of a release for such claim and customary confidentiality obligations), except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent to be withheld, conditioned or delayed only for a good faith reason). The Indemnitee will have the right to participate in the defense of any claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense. The fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitee.

(c) Any indemnification claim that does not arise from a third party claim must be asserted by a written notice to the Indemnitor setting forth with reasonable specificity the amount claimed and the underlying facts supporting such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice within which to accept or dispute such claim by providing written notice to the Indemnitee. If the recipient does not respond within such thirty (30) days, the recipient will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the Losses set forth in such notice and will have no further right to contest the validity of such notice. If the recipient responds within such thirty (30) days after the receipt of the notice and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the party delivering will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to it under this Agreement, any other Ancillary Documents or applicable Law.

6.5. General Indemnification Provisions. The amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts paid to the Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof as a reimbursement with respect to such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer hereunder, except to the extent that such waiver of subrogation would prejudice any applicable insurance coverage), including any indemnification received by the Indemnitee or such Affiliate from an unrelated party with respect to such Losses, net of the costs of collection and any related anticipated future increases in insurance premiums resulting from such Loss or insurance payment. Seller will not have any right to seek contribution from any Ameri Company with respect to all or any part of Seller’s indemnification obligations under this ARTICLE VI. The Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be required to make any claim against any Ameri Company in respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or any other obligation of an Ameri Company to Buyer hereunder or under any Ancillary Document to which an Ameri Company is a party, and may solely seek action against Seller. Any Losses under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all indemnification payments will constitute adjustments to the consideration for all Tax purposes, and no party may take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

-31-

6.6. Timing of Payment; Right to Set-Off. Any indemnification obligation of an Indemnitor under this ARTICLE VI will be paid promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the determination of such obligation in accordance with Section 6.4. The provisions of this ARTICLE VI notwithstanding, at its sole discretion and without limiting any other rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or at law or equity, to the extent that a Buyer Indemnified Party is determined in accordance with this Agreement to be entitled to indemnification hereunder, if Seller fails or refuses to promptly indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party as provided herein then Buyer (or any other Buyer Indemnified Party) may offset the full amount to which such Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled, in whole or in part, by reducing the amount of any payment or other obligation due to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, including any amounts owed by Buyer pursuant to any outstanding indemnification claim.

6.7. Knowledge of Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) due to, and Seller shall not be liable to provide indemnification for Losses under this ARTICLE VI to the extent resulting from, an event or circumstance constituting a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement of which a Buyer Knowledge Party had actual knowledge at or prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, that on or prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller made due inquiry regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement and none of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, members or employees (other than Buyer Knowledge Parties) had actual knowledge on or prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to such event or circumstance. As used herein, “Buyer Knowledge Party” means the individuals listed on Schedule 6.7.

ARTICLE VII

(ii) The Closing Date shall not have occurred on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the one hundred and eightieth (180^th) day after the date of this Agreement, or such other date mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller (the “Outside Date”); provided, that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(ii) if such Party is in material breach of this Agreement.

-32-

(c) By Seller, if (i) there shall have occurred a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform of any of Buyer’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and where such breach, inaccuracy or failure would give rise to the failure or non-fulfillment of the Closing conditions set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 2.3, except that if such breach, inaccuracy or failure is capable of being remedied by Buyer, it shall have continued unremedied until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the earlier of the Outside Date or the date which is ten (10) Business Days after Buyer has received written notice from Seller of the occurrence of such breach, inaccuracy or failure; or (ii) if Seller shall have entered into a definitive binding agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal pursuant to and in compliance with Section 5.9, and Seller shall have paid Buyer the Termination Fee described in Section 7.2.

(d) By Buyer, if (i) there shall have occurred a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform of any of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and where such breach, inaccuracy or failure would give rise to the failure or non-fulfillment of the Closing conditions set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 2.4, except that if such breach, inaccuracy or failure is capable of being remedied by Seller, it shall have continued unremedied until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the earlier of the Outside Date or the date which is ten (10) Business Days after Seller has received written notice from Buyer of the occurrence of such breach, inaccuracy of failure; (ii) if there has been a Material Adverse Effect which is continuing and uncured; or (iii) the Seller or the Seller Board (or any committee thereof, including the Special Committee) shall have effected a Change of Recommendation.

7.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force and effect (other than Section 5.2, ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE VIII) and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto except, if Buyer terminates pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) or Seller terminates pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) then the terminating party shall have the right to pursue its remedies with respect to the breach or breaches giving rise to such termination. If Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii), or Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iii) then Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer, in addition to any other amounts payable by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, cash in an amount equal to the documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred or paid by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the consummation of any of the Transactions in an amount that will not exceed $300,000 (the “Termination Fee”), which shall be made via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, not later than two (2) Business Days following such termination. Nothing herein shall preclude any Party hereto from liability for any fraud, willful misconduct or intentional breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

8.3. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.

-34-

8.4. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.4 will be null and void ab initio; provided, however, that after the Closing, Buyer may assign its rights and benefits hereunder (i) to any Affiliate of Buyer (provided, that Buyer shall remain primarily responsible for its obligations hereunder), or (ii) as security to any Person providing debt financing to Buyer or its Affiliates for the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each Party hereto.

8.5. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties set forth herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

8.6. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties hereto; provided, that any amendment or modification to the Buyer Preferred Stock CoD from the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will also require the consent of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Seller Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (a) the failure of any Party at any time to require performance by the other of any provision of this Agreement will not affect such Party’s right thereafter to enforce the same; (b) no waiver by any Party of any default by any other Party will be valid unless in writing and acknowledged by an authorized representative of the non-defaulting party, and no such waiver will be taken or held to be a waiver by such Party of any other preceding or subsequent default; and (c) no extension of time granted by any Party for the performance of any obligation or act by any other Party will be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act hereunder.

8.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto, which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and deemed part of this Agreement), together with the Ancillary Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

8.8. Remedies. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, any Party having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies which such party may have been granted at any time under any other contract or agreement and all of the rights which such party may have under any applicable Law. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, any such Party will be entitled to (a) enforce such rights specifically, without posting a bond or other security or proving damages or that monetary damages would be inadequate, (b) to recover damages by reason of a breach of any provision of this Agreement and (c) to exercise all other rights granted by applicable Law. The exercise of any remedy by a Party will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy by such Party.

-35-

The proceedings shall be streamlined and efficient. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the state of New York. Time is of the essence. Each Party shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days after confirmation of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to order any Party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided, that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant Party (or Parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator’s reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in the State of New York, County of New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

8.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to its choice of law principles that would result in the applications of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York).

Each Party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity. The parties hereto hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive the right any may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement and any agreement contemplated to be executed in connection herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party in connection with such agreements, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether sounding in tort or contract or otherwise. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been informed by the other parties hereto that this Section 8.10 constitutes a material inducement upon which they are relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement.
