(A) if the Closing Tangible Net Worth is greater than or equal to TNW Floor and less than or equal to the TNW Ceiling, then zero;

(B) If the Closing Tangible Net Worth is less than the TNW Floor, then the Closing Tangible Net Worth minus the TNW Floor; or

During the Review Period, Stockholder Representative and its accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Parent and/or its accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Parent’s possession) relating to the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement as Stockholder Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Stockholder Representative may object to the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement by delivering to Parent a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If Stockholder Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Stockholder Representative. If Stockholder Representative delivers the Statement of

Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Parent and Stockholder Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Stockholder Representative and Parent fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the office of McGladrey LLP or, if McGladrey LLP is unable to serve, Parent and Stockholder Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders), on the one hand, and by Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Stockholder Representative or Parent, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Stockholder Representative and Parent. Any such fees and expenses payable by the Stockholder Representative shall be paid from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund to the extent available.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and, absent manifest error, their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(d) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, within two Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds (A) to Parent, the Post-Closing Adjustment, and (B) to the Exchange Agent, for

case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 6.07 of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and, in the event that any proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (the “D&O Indemnifying Parties”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines arising in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and shall reimburse each D&O Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such D&O Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such D&O Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall obtain “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from the Effective Time for directors and officers liability, and “tail” insurance of three years for employment practices and fiduciary liability, and two years for professional errors and omissions liability to extend the reporting periods of the Company’s insurance policies maintained prior to the Effective Time, with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Tail Policies”). The Parent shall bear the cost of the Tail Policies (provided that such cost does not exceed $57,000), and such costs shall be paid at Closing. During the term of the Tail Policies, Parent shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the Tail Policies to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived.

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.07 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.07 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.07

applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.07, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.07).

(e) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.07. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.07 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 6.08 Closing Conditions From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof.

In the event any party determines that it is required by Law, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange or national market system, or an applicable accounting principle to make any such public comment, statement, or communication, such party shall advise the other parties of that fact in advance of making such public comment, statement, or communication, and allow the other parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such public comment, statement, or communication. The prohibitions contained in this Section 6.09 shall lapse as to Parent following the Closing. In addition, the prohibitions contained in this Section 6.09 as to private communications shall not preclude communications (a) necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement, including to third parties in connection with obtaining any consent, approval, authorization or permit as required hereunder or (b) to a party’s advisors and Affiliates on a need-to-know basis.

Section 6.10 Wavier of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that such Stockholder may have by virtue of ownership of Shares, whether pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or otherwise, as well as any rights to notice with respect to same.

Section 6.11 General Release. Effective as of the Closing, each Stockholder voluntarily, knowingly and irrevocably releases and forever discharges the Company, its Subsidiaries and Parent and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Surviving Corporation) (collectively, the “Releasees”), in their corporate and individual capacities, from any and all Actions arising or existing prior to the Closing, whether known or unknown. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any such Action, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee in relation to any such Action. The foregoing release shall not apply to any Actions of such Stockholder under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each Stockholder hereby specifically acknowledges that such Stockholder has been informed and is aware of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and that Stockholder expressly WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES all rights and benefits, which Stockholder has or may have under said Section, which states as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Section 6.12 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

From and after the Closing, each Stockholder shall hold in confidence all knowledge and information of a secret or confidential nature with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not disclose, publish or make use of the same, except to the extent that such information shall have become public knowledge (other than by breach of this Agreement) or to the extent such Person needs to reveal such information to his, her or its advisors in connection with the preparation of tax returns, defense of an indemnification claim or other similar matters contemplated herein. Each Stockholder agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 6.14 would be inadequate and that Parent and the Company hall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy it may have upon breach of any provision of this Section 6.14.

ARTICLE VII
TAX MATTERS

Section 7.01 Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Parent, prior to the Closing, neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives or the Stockholders shall make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Parent or the Surviving Corporation in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. The Company agrees that Parent is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Representatives or the Stockholders. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Stockholders shall, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), indemnify and hold harmless Parent against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Stockholders when due. Stockholder Representative shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Parent shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

Section 7.02 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all, if any, existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

Section 7.03 Tax Indemnification. Except to the extent treated as a liability in the calculation of Closing Tangible Net Worth, the Stockholders shall, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), indemnify the Company, its Subsidiaries, Parent, and each Parent Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.22; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII; (c) all Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries or relating to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; (d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)

is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date. In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, the Stockholders shall, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), reimburse Parent for any Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are the responsibility of the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 7.03 within twenty Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.04 Tax Returns

(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date (taking into account any extensions), and shall timely pay all Taxes that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law).

(b) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and for any Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and, if it is an income or other material Tax Return, shall be submitted by Parent to Stockholder Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Stockholder Representative, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Stockholder Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, it shall, within ten Business Days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Parent in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and Stockholder Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten Business Days after receipt by Parent of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within 20 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Parent and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the

Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Parent and Stockholder Representative. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent.

In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

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

Section 7.06 Contests. Parent agrees to give written notice to Stockholder Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Parent pursuant to this Article VII (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect Parent’s right to indemnification hereunder. Parent shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Parent shall obtain the prior written consent of Stockholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Stockholder Representative.

Section 7.07 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Stockholder Representative, the Company and Parent shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the others in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VII or in connection with any audit or other proceeding

in respect of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Stockholder Representative, the Company and Parent shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by any of the other parties in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Stockholder Representative, the Company or Parent (as the case may be) shall provide the other parties with reasonable written notice and offer the other parties the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

Section 7.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.09 Payments to Parent. Any amounts payable to Parent pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied: (i) from the Indemnification Escrow Fund; and (ii) to the extent such amounts exceed the amount available to Parent in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, from the Stockholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares).

Section 7.10 FIRPTA Statement. On the Closing Date, the Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to deliver to Parent a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying to the effect that no interest in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a U.S. real property interest (such certificate in the form required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-3(c)) (the “FIPRTA Statement”).

Section 7.11 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.22 and this Article VII shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

Section 7.12 Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article IX may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article VII, the provisions of this Article VII shall govern.

The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Stockholders shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall not exceed the Purchase Price (the “Cap”).

(b) Parent shall not be liable to the Stockholder Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 9.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event Parent shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Parent shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.03(a) shall not exceed the Cap.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 9.04(a) and Section 9.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.01, the first two sentences of Section 3.02(a), Section 3.04, Section 3.19, Section 3.20, Section 3.25, Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.05, Section 5.01 and Section 5.04.

(d) For purposes of this Article IX and a claim for indemnification relating to a breach or alleged breach of a representation or warranty that may only be considered breached if the defect, inaccuracy, mistake or misrepresentation is material, or has a Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty, the materiality (or Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty) of such defect, in accuracy, mistake or misrepresentation will not be considered for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation or warranty has occurred or for determining the amount of the Losses arising out of such breach.

Section 9.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. For purposes of this Article IX, (i) if Parent (or any other Parent Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to Stockholder Representative, and (ii) if Parent comprises the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to Stockholder Representative. Any payment received by Stockholder Representative as the Indemnified Party shall be distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with this Agreement.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 45 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure, and/or to the extent that such failure (i) materially increases the dollar amount of any such claim for indemnification or (ii) materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the

Indemnified Party within 45 days after the Indemnified Party’s delivery of the notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Stockholder, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim (x) that is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (y) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties, (z) if the settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of Parent, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of Parent or any of its Affiliates and (aa) unless it provides Parent with evidence reasonably acceptable to Parent that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder. In addition, the Indemnified Party may not assume the defense unless the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within the time period during which it may assume the defense that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. In no event will the Indemnifying Party be permitted to continue to defend the Third Party Claim if it does not conduct such defense actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Stockholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without

expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 9.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 45 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure, and/or to the extent that such failure (i) materially increases the dollar amount of any such claim for indemnification or (ii) materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 45 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the

Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 45 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.22 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VII) shall be governed exclusively by Article VII hereof.

Section 9.06 Payments; Indemnification Escrow Fund; Acknowledgment.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 60 days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 60 day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest from time to time announced publicly by Bank of America as its prime rate, plus 3%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

(b) Any Losses payable to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Article IX shall be satisfied: (i) from the Indemnification Escrow Fund; and (ii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amounts available to the Parent Indemnitee in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, from the Stockholders, severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares).

(c) Upon the termination of the Indemnification Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall pay any amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund to the Stockholders as set forth in the Escrow Agreement in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(d) Each party hereto acknowledges such party’s common law obligation to mitigate any Losses that such party may incur, sustain or have imposed upon such party.

Section 9.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be.

Section 9.09 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 11.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VII and this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

ARTICLE X

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) by Parent by written notice to the Company if:

(i) neither Parent nor Merger Sub is then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company, or the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such material breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by the Company, or the Stockholders within twenty days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Parent;

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by April 30, 2015, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Parent to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(iii) the Unanimous Written Consent shall have not been obtained within three (3) Business Days after the date hereof.

(i) the Company, or the Stockholders are not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VIII and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Parent or Merger Sub within ten days of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by April 30, 2015, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company, or the Stockholders to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; or

(d) by Parent or the Company if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

(i) give and receive notices and communications;

(ii) authorize delivery to Parent of cash from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund (or, if necessary, the Indemnification Escrow Fund) in satisfaction of any amounts owed to Parent pursuant to Section 2.17 or from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims for indemnification made by Parent pursuant to Article VII and Article IX;

(iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders or otherwise handle any other matters described in Section 2.17;

(viii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist Stockholder Representative in complying with its duties and obligations, and compensate such agents or representative for such service, and compensating the Stockholder Representative in a reasonable amount for services rendered by Stockholder Representative post Closing; and

(ix) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Stockholder Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (including Article IX) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Stockholder by Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Stockholder by Stockholder Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Stockholders. Any decision or action by Stockholder Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Stockholder Representative and Parent relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for

indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Stockholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or Stockholders, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

(b) The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority in interest of the Stockholders according to each Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share (the “Majority Holders”); provided, however, in no event shall Stockholder Representative resign or be removed without the Majority Holders having first appointed a new Stockholder Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Holders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to Parent, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Parent; provided, that until such notice is received, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Stockholder Representative as described in Section 11.01(a) above.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Stockholders for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Stockholders shall severally and not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares), indemnify and hold harmless Stockholder Representative from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as Stockholder Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of Stockholder Representative, Stockholder Representative shall reimburse the Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied: (i) from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund; and (ii) to the extent the amount of the Representative Losses exceeds amounts available to Stockholder Representative under (i), from the Stockholders, severally and

not jointly (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares). As soon as practicable after the date on which the final obligation of Stockholder Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement have been discharged or such other date as Stockholder Representative deems appropriate, the Escrow Agent shall pay any amounts remaining in the Stockholder Representative Fund to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, as set forth in the Escrow Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement dated this day of March 2015 (the “Escrow Agreement”), is entered into by and among LIME ENERGY CO., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Stockholder Representative,” and together with Parent, the “Parties,” and individually, a “Party”), and WILMINGTON TRUST, N.A., as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have that meaning as set forth in the Merger Agreement, defined below.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Merger Agreement, dated March 16, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), which, among other things, provides for the merger of Company with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, with Company as the corporation surviving the merger.

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides that $ shall be deposited by Parent with the Escrow Agent, to be held in an escrow account and to be distributed therefrom in accordance with, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of, this Escrow Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not a party to, is not bound by, and has no duties or obligations under, the Merger Agreement, that all references in this Escrow Agreement to the Merger Agreement are for convenience, and that the Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Escrow Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
ESCROW DEPOSIT

Section 1.1. Receipt of Escrow Property. Upon execution hereof, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, via wire transfer, the amount of $ (the “Escrow Property”) in immediately available funds. The Escrow Property consists of the Indemnification Escrow Amount in the amount of $ , the Purchase Price Escrow Amount in the amount of $250.000, and the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount in the amount of $75,000 and all such amounts shall be maintained in separate accounts held by the Escrow Agent (respectively, the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Purchase Price Escrow Fund, and the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund). The Escrow Property, together with all interest, dividends, income, capital gains and other amounts earned thereon or derived therefrom pursuant to the investments made, will be available to satisfy the indemnification obligations of the Stockholders set forth in the Merger Agreement,

to satisfy any Post-Closing Adjustment, and to fund any expenses of the Stockholder Representative arising in connection with the administration of Stockholder Representative’s duties in the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.2. Investments.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Property, including any and all interest and investment income, in accordance with the written instructions provided to the Escrow Agent and signed by the Parent and the Stockholder Representative. In the absence of written investment instructions, the Escrow Agent shall deposit and invest the Escrow Property, including any and all interest and investment income, in the M&T Bank Corporate Deposit Account, which is further described herein on Exhibit A. Any investment earnings and income on the Escrow Property shall become part of the Escrow Property, and shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 1.3 or Section 1.5 of this Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any such investments as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Escrow Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

Section 1.3. Disbursements. For a period of 18 months following the date hereof (the “Obligation Period”), the Escrow Agent shall distribute or release the Escrow Property in accordance with the following express terms and conditions:

(a) The Escrow Agent shall make disbursements from the Indemnification Escrow Fund as follows:

(i) In accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Merger Agreement, if Parent receives written notice which involves the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action in respect of which an indemnity may sought by Parent pursuant to Article VII of the Merger Agreement, Parent shall give written notice (a “Tax Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any taxes due from any Pre-Closing Tax Periods or any Straddle Period (“Tax Claim”), as described in Article VII of the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder Representative may dispute any Tax Claim, or any portion thereof, by providing written notice (“Tax Contest Notice”) to Parent and the Escrow Agent before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the 20th business day following receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Tax Claim Notice (“Tax Objection Period”). If no Tax Contest Notice is received by the

Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Tax Objection Period, then the dollar amount of the Tax Claim set forth in Parent’s Tax Claim Notice shall be deemed established and, within 5 business days following the Tax Objection Period, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Parent the dollar amount of the Tax Claim from the Indemnification Escrow Fund as instructed in the Tax Claim Notice.

(ii) In accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Merger Agreement, if Parent receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to the Merger Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to the Merger Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against Parent with respect to which the Shareholders are obligated to provide indemnification under the Merger Agreement, or if any Action by the Parent on account of a Loss which does not result in a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) with respect to which the Shareholders are obligated to provide indemnification under the Merger Agreement, Parent shall give written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent specifying in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim”) that Parent has under Article IX of the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder Representative may dispute any Indemnification Claim, or any portion thereof, by providing written notice (“Indemnification Contest Notice”) to Parent and the Escrow Agent before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the 45th day following receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Indemnification Claim Notice (“Indemnification Objection Period”). If no Indemnification Contest Notice is received by the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Indemnification Objection Period, then the dollar amount of the Indemnification Claim set forth in Parent’s Indemnification Claim Notice shall be deemed established and, within 5 business days following the Indemnification Objection Period, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Parent the dollar amount of the Indemnification Claim from the Indemnification Escrow Fund as instructed in the Indemnification Claim Notice.

(iii) If a Tax Contest Notice or Indemnification Contest Notice (each a “Contest Notice”) is given, the dollar amount of such Tax Claim or Indemnification Claim which is not disputed in the respective Contest Notice (the “Undisputed Damages”) shall be deemed established for purposes of this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall disburse the dollar amount of the Undisputed Damages from the Indemnification Escrow Fund within 5 Business Days following receipt of joint written instructions from the Parent and Stockholder Representative. The Escrow Agent shall make payment with respect to the disputed portion of any Tax Claim or Indemnification Claim only in accordance with (A) joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative or (B) an arbitral award or court judgment which is final and non-appealable subject to the limitations sets forth in Section 1.3(e).

(b) Following the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, as set forth in Section 2.17 of the Merger Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall make disbursements from the Purchase Price Escrow Fund as follows:

(i) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Stockholder Representative and Parent shall, within two business days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse amounts from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds (A) to Parent, the Post-Closing Adjustment, and (B) to the Paying Agent (Wilmington National Trust, National Association), for distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, such Stockholders’ aggregate Pro Rata Share of any amounts remaining in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is greater than the amount held in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, then Stockholder Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, first, disburse from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Parent the amount by which the Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund (up to the amount in the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund) and, second, disburse from the Indemnification Escrow Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Parent the amount by which the Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the sum of the amounts in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund (up to the amount in the Indemnification Escrow Fund).

(ii) If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Stockholder Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse amounts from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, such Stockholders’ aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund.

(c) The Stockholder Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Stockholder Representative from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) any Independent Accountant fees and expenses, as permitted under Section 2.17(c)(iv) of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the amount of any Representative Losses and (iii) any fees and expenses (including without limitation legal, accounting and other professional fees) of Stockholder Representative arising in connection with the administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties in the Merger Agreement after the Effective Time. Further, at the sole instruction of Stockholder Representative, Escrow Agent shall retain a sub-account as to any amounts that Stockholder Representative designates that would otherwise be distributed to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, as shareholders, and Escrow Agent shall retain such funds in the sub-account until such time as Stockholder Representative further instructs Escrow Agent to disburse such funds to the Paying Agent for distribution as directed by Stockholder Representative.

(d) In the event that Escrow Agent makes any payment to any other party pursuant to this Escrow Agreement and for any reason such payment (or any portion thereof) is required to be returned to the Escrow Account or another party or is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a receiver, trustee or other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, other federal or state law, common law or equitable doctrine, then the recipient shall repay to the Escrow Agent upon written request the amount so paid to it.

(e) The Escrow Agent shall, in its sole discretion, comply with judgments or orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Property, including without limitation any attachment, levy or garnishment, without any obligation to determine such court’s jurisdiction in the matter and in accordance with its normal business practices. If the Escrow Agent complies with any such judgment, order or process, then it shall not be liable to any Party or any other person by reason of such compliance, regardless of the final disposition of any such judgment, order or process.

(f) In the event that a Party gives funds transfer instructions (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the authorized person or persons of all Parties, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated provided no call back is required if the Escrow Agent receives original instructions. The persons and telephone numbers for callbacks may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Parties agree that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.

(g) Upon request the Escrow Agent will furnish monthly statements to the Parties setting forth the activity in the Account.

Section 1.4. Income Tax Allocation and Reporting.

(a) The Parties agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest and other income from investment of the Escrow Property shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by the Stockholders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares which are set forth on Exhibit D hereto, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year.

(b) Prior to closing, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request. The Parties understand that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a

portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property.

(c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Property. The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Property and the investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 1.4(c) is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 3.1 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.5. Termination.

(a) If no Tax Claim or Indemnification Claim is outstanding at the expiration of the Obligation Period, the Escrow Agent shall release, within five business days following the expiration of the Obligation Period, the remaining balance of the Escrow Property as set forth in joint written instructions delivered by the Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall be distributed to Paying Agent for distribution to the accounts of the Stockholders as specifically directed by Stockholder Representative.

(b) If a Tax Claim Notice or an Indemnification Claim Notice has been delivered prior to the expiration of the Obligation Period and is still outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Obligation Period, then, within five days following the expiration of the Obligation Period, the Escrow Agent shall release all of the Escrow Property but the disputed portion of any Tax Claim or Indemnification Claim (as shown in the applicable Contest Notices) (the “Holdback Amount”) to Paying Agent for distribution to the accounts of the Stockholders as specifically directed by Stockholder Representative.

The Obligation Period shall be extended until such time as the earlier of (i) all outstanding Tax Claims and Indemnification Claims are undisputed between the Parent and the Stockholder Representative and they jointly provide written instruction to the Escrow Agent or (ii) a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision regarding any outstanding Tax Claim or Indemnification Claim is entered such that, after giving effect to such order or decision, there are no outstanding Tax Claims or Indemnification Claims. During the extended Obligation Period, the process and time periods set forth in 1.3(a) for addressing a Tax Claim Notice or an Indemnification Claim Notice that was filed prior to the original Obligation Period, shall continue to apply during the extended Obligation Period. To the extent any portion of the Holdback Amount remains following the resolution of all outstanding Tax Claims and Indemnification Claims as evidenced by (x) an agreement as to

such claims between Parent and Stockholder Representative or (y) the final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision regarding any outstanding Tax Claim or Indemnification Claim, the Escrow Agreement shall disburse any remaining Holdback Amount pursuant to the joint written instructions of the Parent and Stockholder Representative for distribution to Paying Agent for distribution to the accounts of the Stockholders as specifically directed by Stockholder Representative.

(b) This Escrow Agreement shall be of no further force and effect upon the later to occur of (i) the end of the Obligation Period and (ii) the disbursement of the Holdback Amount, except that the provisions of Sections 1.4(c), 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination.

Escrow Agent shall have a first lien against the Escrow Account to secure the obligations of the parties hereunder. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.2. Limitation of Liability. THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

Section 3.3. Resignation or Removal. The Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing written notice of its resignation to the Parties, and the Parties may remove the Escrow Agent by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal along with payment of all fees and expenses to which it is entitled through the date of termination. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be effective thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice or upon the earlier appointment of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to safely keep the Escrow Property and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by the Parties, as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a court order. If the Parties have failed to

appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice of resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties.

Section 3.4. Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C, which compensation shall be a Transaction Expense and shall be paid by Parent at Closing. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Escrow Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any service not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Escrow Agreement or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, occasioned by any such delay, controversy, litigation or event. If any amount due to the Escrow Agent hereunder is not paid within thirty (30) days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow Property with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow Property. The terms of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.5. Disagreements. If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, retain the Escrow Property until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Property, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Property, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Property and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on any such agreement, court order, or arbitration decision without further question, inquiry, or consent.

Section 3.6. Merger or Consolidation. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the Escrow Agent is a party, shall be and become the successor escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement and shall have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.

Section 3.7. Attachment of Escrow Property; Compliance with Legal Orders. In the event that any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction. In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or corporation, should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

Section 3.8 Force Majeure. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Escrow Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

Section 3.9 Compliance with Legal Orders. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel in the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction of any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

Section 3.10 Disagreements. In the event Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in refraining from acting until such conflict is resolved to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent.

Section 3.11 No Financial Obligation. Escrow Agent shall not be required to use its own funds in the performance of any of its obligations or duties or the exercise of

any of its rights or powers, and shall not be required to take any action which, in Escrow Agent’s sole and absolute judgment, could involve it in expense or liability unless furnished with security and indemnity which it deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be satisfactory.

Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given to such terms in such agreement (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”).

BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, EnerPath is engaged in the business of marketing to and providing utilities or government agencies and authorities with Demand Side Management Services for small- and medium-sized businesses (“DSM Services”) involving one or more of the following: energy audits, energy system retrofits and installations, host customer outreach and marketing, data-mining and analytics, software development and deployment, and program management (such business, as conducted as of the date hereof, and including proposed products and products in development, is defined herein as the “Business”);

WHEREAS, (i) Seller is a beneficial and record owner of certain shares of Common Stock of EnerPath, (ii) Seller is an employee of EnerPath (or a wholly-owned subsidiary thereof) and (iii) pursuant to Seller’s ownership interest in, and employment with, Enerpath, Seller had, and will continue to have, access to trade secrets and other confidential or sensitive information relating to the Company, its customers and the Business;

WHEREAS, Seller is selling all of his ownership interests in EnerPath pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and it is integral to the Merger, Lime’s acquisition of ownership of EnerPath and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and a condition precedent to the execution of the Purchase Agreement by Lime and Merger Sub that Seller enter into this Agreement with Lime to provide for the protection of the customer relationships, trade secrets and other confidential and sensitive information of the Business; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that the restrictions of this Agreement shall become effective, automatically and without the necessity of any further action on the part of any party hereto or any other Person, commencing on and as of the Effective Time.

NOW THEREFORE, for value received, and in consideration of benefits and payments extended by Lime to Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. The following terms have the meanings specified or referred to in this Section 1:

(a) “Restricted Area” means California and other states in which the Business has occurred as of the Effective Time.

(b) “Restricted Period” means the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the [fifth (5th) / second (2nd)] anniversary of the date hereof.

SECTION 2. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(A) Seller agrees that during the Restricted Period he shall not, directly or indirectly, through any Affiliate or otherwise, anywhere in the Restricted Area:

(i) own, manage, market, operate, control, consult with, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business which (a) engages, directly or indirectly, in any business that is the same or substantially similar to the Business or (b) sells any product that is the same or substantially similar to any product sold by the Business, except in, each case, his capacity as an employee of EnerPath, Lime or any of its Subsidiaries;

(ii) be or become a shareholder, partner, manager, member, owner, agent of, or a consultant to or give financial or other assistance to, any Person (a) considering engaging in or who is engaged in any business that is the same or substantially similar to the Business, or (b) considering selling or who sells any product that is the same or substantially similar to any product sold by the Business, except in, in each case, his capacity as an employee of Lime or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(iii) seek in competition with the Company or its Subsidiaries to do business with any customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time for which the Company or the Subsidiary has sold products or provided services at any time as part of its Business;

provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller solely from owning, as a passive investor, not more than two percent (2%) in the aggregate of the outstanding publicly traded securities of any Person so engaged, further that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller from engaging in energy sector activities that do not compete with the Business, for example, the Seller may work as an employee of a utility, of a government agency, of a government authority, of an engineering firm, consultancy, project developer or energy services company that is advising clients on energy or developing projects and seeking incentives for specific project(s), but not offering DSM Services to an agency, authority or utility in the Restricted Area, of an independent power producer, of an equipment supplier or software developer that is not offering DSM Services to an agency, authority or utility in the Restricted Area, of a Public Utility Commission or like entity, of a State Energy Office or like entity, of a Department of Environmental Protection or like entity, of a Regional Transmission Organization, of an Independent System Operator, of an independent market monitor, and of a non-profit advocacy organization.

(C) The duration of the covenants set forth in Section 2(A) and Section 2(B) above shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of calendar days, if any, during which Seller is in violation of any of the provisions contained in such Sections, only if Lime has provided to Seller written notice of the alleged violations.

SECTION 3. Specific Performance. In the event of a breach of Section 2, the damage or imminent damage to Lime will be inestimable and therefore any remedy at law or in monetary damages shall be inadequate. Accordingly, Lime shall, in addition to monetary damages incurred by reason of any such breach, without the necessity of posting any bond or security, be entitled to injunctive relief against Seller for breach of such section.

SECTION 5. Construction. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the non-competition covenants contained herein shall be enforced to the greatest extent (but to no greater extent) in time, area, and degree of participation as is permitted by the Law of that jurisdiction whose Law is applicable to any acts allegedly in breach of such covenants. To this end, the parties to this Agreement agree that the covenants contained in Section 2 shall be construed to extend in time and territory and with respect to degree of participation only so far as they may be enforced in such jurisdiction, and that the covenants contained in Section 2 are to that end hereby declared divisible and severable.

SECTION 6. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended (and any right hereunder extended or waived) by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Seller and Lime. No failure or delay by any party in the exercise of any right under this Agreement shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any covenant, or agreement in this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

SECTION 7. Successors and Assigns Bound. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

SECTION 8. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

SECTION 9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 5, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Law (except

that federal Law shall apply to the extent applicable). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement, by acceptance of consideration specified herein, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to be subject to, and hereby consents and submits to, the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts of the District of Delaware or of the state courts of New Castle County, State of Delaware, and agrees that any action involving any equitable or other claim shall be brought in the federal courts of the District of Delaware or in the state courts of New Castle County, State of Delaware.

SECTION 10. Payment of Fees and Costs of Enforcement. If any action at Law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

SECTION 11. Severability. Subject to Section 5, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions or parts were omitted.

All disputes arising hereunder between Seller and Lime that cannot be resolved without litigation shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) in Los Angeles or Santa Monica, California in accordance with the then applicable JAMS rules, to the extent permitted by law. A single arbitrator shall apply applicable California and/or federal substantive law to decide the case and shall in writing state the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law supporting any award. The parties incorporate by this reference California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05, which gives the parties certain discovery rights. The California Evidence Code shall be applied to and enforced by the Arbitrator with regard to all evidentiary matters. Lime shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and JAMS charges in connection with any such arbitration if required by California law.
