The determination of the Independent Accountants as set forth in the Independent Accountants Notice shall be a final, binding, and conclusive of the Actual Net Assets Adjustment used for all purposes under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be allocated between Parent and the Stockholder Representative in such manner that the Stockholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties and in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative, not in its individual capacity) shall be responsible for that portion of such fees and expenses equal to such fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of disputed line items submitted in the Notice of Disagreement that were resolved in a manner further from the position set forth in the Notice of Disagreement and closer to the position submitted by Parent in the Net Assets Calculation and the denominator of which is the total dollar value of the disputed line items so submitted; Parent shall be responsible for the remainder of any such fees and expenses.

Until so surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.9, each outstanding Certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence (i) the ownership of the number of full shares of Parent Common into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been so converted pursuant to this Agreement and Delaware Law; (ii) the right to receive an amount of cash pursuant to Section 2.6(d); and (iii) the right to receive an amount of cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.6(p).

(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Parent Common is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange (i) will demonstrate to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction that such transfer was made in compliance with applicable securities laws and (ii) will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Parent Common or Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law.

-36-

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock. There shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.11 Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates evidencing shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such Merger Consideration and cash for fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.6; provided, however, that either of Parent or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

2.12 Tax and Accounting Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall (i) for purposes of the Code be deemed a taxable transaction to the Stockholders and (ii) qualify for accounting treatment as a purchase transaction.

2.13 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub shall be fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

2.14 Withholding Taxes. Parent, UK Acquiror, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise issuable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable Law relating to Taxes or under any applicable Legal Requirement relating to Taxes, and to request and be provided any necessary and validly executed Tax forms, including valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the appropriate version of Form W-8, as applicable, and any similar information. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under the Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

The Company has all requisite corporate power to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or UK Subsidiary. The Company has delivered to counsel for Parent a true and correct copy of the Company Charter Documents.

(b) UK Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of England and Wales. UK Subsidiary has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

Each of the Additional Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. Each of the Additional Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of the Additional Subsidiaries is not in violation of any of the provisions of its organizational documents equivalent to the UK Charter Documents, and such documents contain full details of the rights and restrictions attached to the share capital of each such Additional Subsidiary. Each of the Additional Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and, where such legal concept exists, is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, UK Subsidiary, or such Additional Subsidiary.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to its compliance with Sections 6.29(a) – (c), after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, Parent may replace, amend or supersede the Debt Financing Commitment to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who are not parties to the Debt Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement, or otherwise by agreements (the “New Financing Commitments”) which replace, amend or supersede the existing Debt Financing Commitment and/or contemplate co-investment by or financing from one or more other or additional parties; provided, that the terms of the New Financing Commitment shall not impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) delay or prevent the Closing Date, (II) make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur or (III) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements with respect thereto.

-105-

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION AND ESCROW

8.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and UK Subsidiary and of Parent, UK Acquiror, and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other agreement instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive until 11:59 p.m. in Newport Beach, California on June 30, 2013 (other than covenants that would by their terms survive for a longer period); provided, however, that in the case of fraud or willful and knowing misrepresentation or willful and knowing breach, such representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The expiration of such period ending 11:59 p.m. in Newport Beach, California on June 30, 2013 or longer period, as applicable, is referred to as the “Survival Period.” Neither the Survival Period nor the Liability of any Indemnifying Party (as defined below) shall be reduced by any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of the Company or Parent. If a written notice of claim pursuant to this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement has been given prior to the end of the Survival Period by Parent, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements shall continue to survive only as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable Survival Period for an item as contemplated by this Section 8.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened Survival Period contemplated hereby.

-111-

8.2 Indemnification. If the Merger is consummated, each Stockholder receiving any portion of the Merger Consideration (except such Stockholders, if any, as shall have perfected their appraisal rights under Delaware Law) (each, an “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, severally and not jointly (and solely in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share), indemnify and hold Parent and its officers, directors, agents and Affiliates (including UK Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries) (the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless against all claims, losses, Liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation and defense (hereinafter individually a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of (i) any breach or inaccuracy of (or any claim by any third party alleging, constituting, or involving an inaccuracy in or breach of) any representation or warranty of the Company or the UK Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement (provided, that, with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of the AR Collectability Representation, an Indemnified Party may only claim a Loss with respect to those accounts receivable of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that were included as Qualified Trade Accounts Receivables for purposes of the Closing Net Assets Adjustment); (ii) any failure by the Company, the UK Subsidiary, or any Additional Subsidiary to perform or comply with any covenant made by any of them contained in this Agreement; (iii) the [***] Litigation (including in connection with indemnification obligations under the [***] Agreement); (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Actual Closing Net Assets Adjustment exceeds the Closing Net Assets Adjustment; (v) any inaccuracies or misrepresentations or omissions in the Closing Estimates Certificate to the extent not otherwise deducted in the calculation of the Cash Amount; (vi) any commitment, undertaking, obligation or Liability of Parent, UK Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and/or any Company Subsidiary under any Non-binding Document; (vii) breach or inaccuracy of (or any claim by any third party alleging, constituting, or involving an inaccuracy in or breach of) any representation or warranty of the Company or the UK Subsidiary contained in Section 3.31(b) of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any Losses incurred or sustained by the Parent, UK Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries, or any of them, directly or indirectly, as a result of obtaining or seeking to obtain replacement Intellectual Property for Intellectual Property that was not validly acquired or licensed by such Person under any such Unexecuted Binding Contract; (viii) any Contract Consent Payment paid after the Closing (to the extent not otherwise deducted from the Cash Amount or reflected in the Closing Net Assets Adjustment at Closing); (ix) the Company or any Company Subsidiary’s failure to withhold as required under applicable Law in connection with the MTB Initial Cash Amount or the Company or any Company Subsidiary’s failure to pay any Transaction Payroll Taxes as required under applicable Law in connection with the MTB Initial Cash Amount to the extent not otherwise deducted in the calculation of the Cash Amount; (x) any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with any audit, inquiry or other Legal Proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to any and all UK Tax Credit Amounts received or claimed by the UK Subsidiary, including, without limitation, all

[***] Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and filed separately with the Commission.

-112-

costs and expenses of accountants or legal counsel incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection therewith (the “UK Tax Credit Losses”); (xi) “most favored nations” or other similar provisions for the benefit of IPA under the IA Agreement; (xii) any breach or inaccuracy of (or any claim by any third party alleging, constituting, or involving an inaccuracy in or breach of) any representation or warranty of the Company or the UK Subsidiary contained in Section 3.10(xxv) of this Agreement; (xiii) (A) any threatened or actual Legal Proceeding made or brought by any Stockholder or any Affiliate thereof against the Parent, UK Acquiror, the Company, and/or any Company Subsidiary in connection with or arising from this Agreement, the Merger, and/or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or any equity and/or debt financing consummated by the Company and/or any Company Subsidiary on or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any such Legal Proceedings relating to claims for breach of fiduciary duty or (B) any payments with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the amounts that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.6 upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares, plus all Losses associated with defending any threatened or actual Legal Proceedings (including demands for appraisal rights with the Delaware Court of Chancery) made or brought by any Stockholder or any Affiliate thereof in connection with any such Dissenting Shares held by such Stockholder; (xiv) any threatened or actual Legal Proceeding in connection with or arising from the Trademark Opposition Matter; and (xv) any breach or inaccuracy of (or any claim by any third party alleging, constituting, or involving an inaccuracy in or breach of) any representation or warranty of the Company or the UK Subsidiary contained in Section 3.14(m) of this Agreement. The categories of Losses and matters addressed in clauses (iii) through (xv) of the preceding sentence are referred to as “Special Liability Losses.” For purposes of determining the accuracy of any representation or warranty pursuant to this Agreement, any update, or supplement to, or modification of the Company Disclosure Schedule made or purported to be made after the date of this Agreement shall be disregarded, regardless of whether such update, supplement, or modification is otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement. The calculation of Losses pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be made without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate, instrument, or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however that such limitations as to “materiality” and “Material Adverse Effect” shall be taken into account in determining whether a breach of such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement exists. For purposes of this Article VIII, “damages” with respect to punitive damages, shall only include amounts actually paid to a third party.

8.3 Escrow Arrangements

(a) By virtue of this Agreement and as security for the indemnity provided for in Section 8.2 hereof, promptly after the Effective Time, UK Acquiror will deposit (or cause to be

-113-

deposited) the (i) Primary Escrow Amount (provided that with respect to the UK Tax Credit Amount portion of the Primary Escrow Amount, such amount will be deposited as and when received by UK Subsidiary pursuant to Section 6.28) with the Escrow Agent, without any act of any Stockholder, to constitute an escrow fund for the Primary Escrow Amount (the “Primary Escrow Fund”) and (ii) Secondary Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent, without any act of any Stockholder, to constitute a separate escrow fund for the Secondary Escrow Amount (the “Secondary Escrow Fund” and together with the Primary Escrow Fund, the “Escrow Funds”) to be governed by the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Funds shall be available to compensate the Indemnified Parties for any claims by such parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that, the Indemnified Parties shall first seek recourse against the Primary Escrow Fund for any and all Losses for which Indemnified Parties are entitled to recovery under this Article VIII until the Primary Escrow Fund has been depleted in full (subject to any amounts reserved in the Primary Escrow Fund for the UK Tax Credit) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and following the time, if ever, that the Primary Escrow Fund has been so depleted in full (subject to any amounts reserved in the Primary Escrow Fund for the UK Tax Credit), Indemnified Parties shall then seek recourse against the Secondary Escrow Fund with respect to any and all Secondary Covered Losses. The Indemnified Parties may recover from the Escrow Funds all Losses for which there is no objection from the Stockholder Representative or for which any objection has been resolved in accordance with this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement. The procedures for the Indemnified Parties to make claims against the Escrow Funds, for the Stockholder Representative to object to such claims, and for the Indemnified Parties to resolve any such objections shall be as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. It is intended that any distributions received by the Indemnifying Parties from the Escrow Funds shall, except to the extent required to be treated as imputed interest, be eligible for installment method reporting pursuant to Section 453 of the Code. UK Acquiror shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Funds for all Tax purposes and shall report as income all interest and other income earned with respect thereto.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three Business Days) following the expiration of the Escrow Period, Parent, UK Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Consideration Recipients all of the remaining Primary Escrow Fund, less the sum of (A) in the event that the UK Tax Credit Audit Period has not expired, the UK Tax Credit Amount and (B) if any claims are unresolved before the expiration of the Escrow Period (collectively, the “Unresolved Claims”), an amount equal to the total amount of Losses then being claimed by the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Unresolved Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three Business Days) following resolution of any such Unresolved Claim, Parent, UK Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Consideration Recipients all remaining Primary Escrow Fund, if any, not required to satisfy any then still Unresolved Claims; provided, that, until the expiration of the UK Tax Credit Audit Period, in no event shall the remaining Primary Escrow Fund following any distribution of Primary Escrow Funds pursuant to this sentence be less than the sum of (A) the UK Tax Credit Amount (or if the amounts that then remains in the Primary Escrow Fund is less than the UK Tax Credit Amount pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement, then such amount that then remains in the Primary Escrow Fund) and (B) and

-114-

the total amount of Losses then being claimed by the Indemnified Parties with respect to Unresolved Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three Business Days) following the expiration of the UK Tax Credit Audit Period, Parent, UK Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Consideration Recipients an amount of Primary Escrow Funds equal to the amount of the UK Tax Credit Amount, less the sum of (i) any amount of the UK Tax Credit Amount for which HM Revenue & Customs finally determines that UK Subsidiary is not so legally entitled to receive or retain, (ii) the UK Tax Credit Losses (if any) and (iii) the total amount of Losses then being claimed by the Indemnified Parties with respect to Unresolved Claims (including any pending claims by any Governmental Entity with respect to the UK Tax Credit).

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three Business Days) following the expiration of the Escrow Period, Parent, UK Acquiror and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Consideration Recipients all of the remaining Secondary Escrow Fund, less an amount equal to the total amount of Secondary Covered Losses then being claimed by the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Unresolved Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within three Business Days) following resolution of any such Unresolved Claim, Parent, UK Acquiror and the Stockholder Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Consideration Recipients all remaining Secondary Escrow Funds, if any, not required to satisfy any then still Unresolved Claims.

(d) All Primary Escrow Fund and Secondary Escrow Fund amounts released to the Consideration Recipients pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.3(c) shall be referred to as “Released Escrow Amounts” and shall be allocated pursuant to Section 2.6(f) above. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.3, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent will distribute a portion of any Released Escrow Amount to the UK Acquiror or its designee in an amount necessary for the UK Acquiror to satisfy its or its Affiliate’s obligations under the Management Transaction Bonus Plan and the Barclays Letter with respect to such Released Escrow Amount.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 8.7(b) and Section 8.7(c)), with respect to any and all UK Tax Credit Losses for which the Escrow Funds were insufficient to provide the Indemnified Parties with full recourse for such UK Tax Credit Losses, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek recourse for such unrecouped UK Tax Credit Losses directly against the Indemnifying Parties on a several and not joint basis (and solely in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share). In the event of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any Stockholder contained in the letter of transmittal delivered by any such Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such Loss arising from this sentence shall be referred to as an “LT Loss”), then the Indemnified Parties may seek recourse for such Loss directly against the applicable Stockholder whose breach resulted in such LT Loss, subject to Section 8.7(b) and Section 8.7(c).

-115-

(f) The term “UK Tax Credit Audit Period” shall mean the time period commencing on the Effective Time and ending the earlier of (x) the last day of the period of time for which HM Revenue & Customs has the right to audit the UK Tax Credit under applicable Law in relation to the relevant accounting period in respect of which the UK Tax Credit has been claimed or (y) the final and binding resolution of any such audit by HM Revenue & Customs of the UK Tax Credit in relation to the relevant accounting period in respect of which the UK Tax Credit has been claimed.

8.4 Loss Thresholds. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and except as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 8.4, the Indemnified Parties may not recover any Losses under Section 8.2 until the total of all Losses exceeds TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000.00) in the aggregate (the “Losses Threshold”), in which case, subject to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, the Indemnified Parties may recover all Losses from the first dollar of Losses, including those used to compute the Losses Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Losses Threshold shall not apply with respect to Special Liability Losses.

8.5 Third Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim (a “Third-Party Claim”) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative of such claim, and the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties (with the understanding that the Escrow Funds will not be used by the Stockholder Representative and/or the Indemnifying Parties to fund such expenses), to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such claim. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents by the Stockholder Representative does not affect any privilege relating to Parent. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle any such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Stockholder Representative, no settlement of any such Third-Party Claim shall be determinative of the amount of Losses or the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Parties with respect to such Losses. In the event that the Stockholder Representative consents to any such settlement of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party shall have any power or authority under this Article VIII or the Escrow Agreement to object to the amount of Parent’s claim for Losses against the Escrow Funds with respect thereto.

8.6 Stockholder Representative.

(a) In the event that the Merger is approved, effective upon such vote, and without further act of any Stockholder, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company shall be appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholder Representative”) for each Stockholder (except such Stockholders, if any, as shall have perfected their appraisal rights under Delaware Law), for and on behalf of such Stockholders, to take all actions required or permitted by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including without limitation to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to Parent of funds

-116-

from the Escrow Funds in satisfaction of claims by Parent, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the Stockholders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent and Escrow Agent; provided that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority–in–interest of the Escrow Funds agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. If the Stockholder Representative shall resign or there is otherwise any vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative, such vacancy may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority–in–interest of the Escrow Funds. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative, and the Stockholder Representative shall not receive compensation for his, her or its services other than pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Representative Agreement entered into between Shareholder Representative Services LLC, the Company and certain of the Stockholders on or about the date hereof. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Stockholders for purposes of claims against the Escrow Funds under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholder Representative while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Indemnifying Party shall severally and not jointly (and solely in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share) indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Stockholder Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”) provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Stockholder Representative Expense or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Stockholder Representative Expense attributable to such gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. At the Closing, UK Acquiror shall deposit an amount equal to the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount to an account designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative, to be held by the Stockholder Representative for the payment of expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing his, her or its duties pursuant to this Agreement. The Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount shall be held by the Stockholder Representative as agent and for the benefit of the Indemnifying Parties in a segregated client account and shall be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any Stockholder Representative Expenses. The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Indemnifying Parties shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount and the Indemnifying Parties irrevocably transfer and assign to the

-117-

Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may have in any interest that may accrue on the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount. The Indemnifying Parties acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Stockholder Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. For tax purposes, the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Indemnifying Parties at the time of Closing.

(d) Any of the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount originally deposited with the Stockholder Representative at the Closing that has not been expended or that the Stockholder Representative is not permitted to otherwise retain pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as soon as practicable following the latest of (i) the end of the Escrow Period, (ii) the date on which all indemnification claims of the Indemnified Parties outstanding at the end of such period have been discharged in full and (iii) the date on which all earn-out matters shall have been fully resolved, shall be returned by the Stockholder Representative to the Escrow Agent and will constitute a “Released Escrow Amount” and will be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6(f). Parent shall have no Liability relating to the administration of the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount. Additionally, following the termination of the Escrow Period, or, with respect to any portions of the Escrow Funds retained beyond the Escrow Period for pending claims, following the date on which such indemnification claims of the Indemnified Parties outstanding at the end of such period have been discharged in full, with respect to any Stockholder Representative Expenses that are not reimbursed by any Indemnifying Party as provided for herein, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to set off such Stockholder Representative Expenses against the Escrow Amount that would otherwise have been distributed to such Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the terms hereof at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Stockholder Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that no such Stockholder Representative Expenses shall be set off against the Escrow Funds prior to the date(s) on which funds from the Escrow Funds would otherwise be distributable to the Indemnifying Parties as provided for herein, and no Stockholder Representative Expenses shall be reimbursed from or set off against the Escrow Funds if the aggregate Losses of the Indemnifying Parties hereunder exceed the Escrow Funds. For the avoidance of doubt, while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Stockholder Representative Escrow Amount, this does not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from their obligation to promptly pay any Stockholder Representative Expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise against the Indemnifying Parties.

(e) A decision, act, consent, or instruction of the Stockholder Representative with respect to the Escrow Funds shall constitute a decision of all the Stockholders for whom a portion of the Escrow Amount otherwise issuable to them is deposited in the Escrow Funds and shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon each of such Stockholders with respect to the Escrow Funds, and the Escrow Agent and Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Stockholder. The Escrow Agent and Parent are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent, or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

-118-

(f) Following the delivery of each indemnification claim notice and the Final Revenue Certification, the Stockholder Representative and its representatives and agents shall be given all such access (including electronic access, to the extent available) as they may reasonably require to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and access to such personnel or representatives of the Surviving Corporation and Parent, including but not limited to the individuals responsible for preparing the Final Revenue Certification or the individuals responsible for the matters that are subject of such claim notice, as the case may be, as they may reasonably require for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in such Final Revenue Certification or claim notice, as applicable.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 8.6, the authority of the Stockholder Representative is limited as follows: (i) the Stockholder Representative may not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement which would decrease the aggregate amount payable to any Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement without the consent of such Stockholder; (ii) the Stockholder Representative may not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement which would result in the amounts payable by the UK Acquiror or Merger Sub as consideration for the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock represented by the Certificates being distributed in any manner other than as set forth in this Agreement, without the consent of all of the Consideration Recipients; (iii) the Stockholder Representative may not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement which would result in an increase of any Stockholder’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement without the consent of such Stockholder; and (iv) the Stockholder Representative may not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement which provides for any increase in the amount of the Escrow to be provided by any Consideration Recipient, or any decrease in the amount of consideration to be received by any Consideration Recipient, or any extension of the time period for when any monies receivable by a Consideration Recipient will actually be received by such Consideration Recipient, without the prior written consent of such Consideration Recipient.

8.7 Nature of Remedy; Limitations of Liability.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 8.7(b), Section 8.7(c) and Section 8.3(e), recourse against the Escrow Funds shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Parties with respect to indemnification claims pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
