(a) Closing Adjustment.

(i) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Representative shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth the Sellers’ good faith estimate of (A) the amount of any Seller Expenses that were not and will not be paid by the Company prior to Closing (the “Estimated Seller Expenses”), (B) the Cash and Cash Equivalents (the “Estimated Cash”), (C) the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness (the “Estimated Funded Indebtedness”) and the components thereof. The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated in good faith.

(ii) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Buyer shall agree on the estimated tax benefits (set forth on Exhibit B) (the “Estimated Tax Benefits”) and the estimated accrued income Taxes through November 30, 2016 (set forth on Exhibit C) (the “Estimated Accrued Income Taxes”).

(iii) The “Closing Date Payment Amount” shall be an amount equal to: (A) the Base Purchase Price, plus (B) the Estimated Cash, minus (C) the Estimated Seller Expenses, minus (D) the Estimated Funded Indebtedness, plus (E) the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Tax Benefits exceeds the Estimated Accrued Income Taxes through November 30, 2016, minus (F) the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Accrued Income Taxes through November 30, 2016, exceeds the Estimated Tax Benefits.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustments.

(i) Within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Final Closing Statement”), certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth the Buyer’s good faith calculation of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness and Seller Expenses. The Final Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be prepared and calculated in good faith, and shall be in the same form and include the same line items as the Estimated Closing Statement (except that in calculating such component line items, no effect shall be given to (i) the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any purchase accounting or other similar adjustments resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) any financing or other changes made by or at the request of Buyer). If the Final Closing Statement is not so timely delivered, the Estimated Cash, the Estimated Funded Indebtedness and the Estimated Seller Expenses will be deemed Final Cash, Final Funded Indebtedness, and Final Seller Expenses, respectively, absent manifest error.

(ii) After receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Representative will have until 5:00 p.m. Dallas time on the date that is forty-five (45) calendar days following the delivery by the Buyer of the Final Closing Statement to review the Final Closing Statement and make any objections thereto. Unless the Representative delivers written notice (which notice shall include the items and amounts in dispute) to the Buyer setting forth the items disputed by the Representative with respect thereto on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Dallas time on the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following the Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Representative will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Final Closing Statement and such statement (and the calculations contained therein) will be final, binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. If the Representative delivers a written notification (a “Statement of Objections”) to the Buyer of its objections to items contained in the Final Closing Statement (or calculations contained therein) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Dallas time on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the delivery by the Buyer of the Final Closing Statement, the Buyer and the Representative shall, during the twenty (20) calendar days following delivery of such Statement of Objections (or such longer period as they

may mutually agree in writing) (the “Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to the disputed items (or calculations) in such notice (the “Disputed Items”), and all other items in the Final Closing Statement (and all calculations relating thereto) will be final, binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. Any resolution by the Buyer and the Representative during the Resolution Period as to any Disputed Item shall be set forth in writing and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the date of such written resolution, absent manifest error.

(iii) If Buyer and the Representative do not resolve all Disputed Items by the end of the Resolution Period, then all Disputed Items remaining in dispute will be submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator. The Neutral Arbitrator shall request a statement from Buyer and the Representative regarding such Disputed Items. The scope of the disputes to be decided by the Neutral Arbitrator shall be limited to only those items or calculations specifically in dispute between the Buyer and the Representative, and the Neutral Arbitrator is not to make any other determination, including not making any determination as to whether the Final Closing Statement, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness or Seller Expenses were prepared in accordance with GAAP. In resolving each Disputed Item, the parties shall cause the Neutral Arbitrator to be bound by the principles set forth in this Section 2.4, and direct the Neutral Arbitrator not to assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any party or less than the lowest value for such Disputed Item claimed by any party (such range, the “Disputed Amount Range”), and any value assigned in contravention of the foregoing shall not be binding on the parties.

(iv) All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Arbitrator will be allocated between the Buyer and the Representative (which, in the case of the Representative, shall be payable by the Representative solely out of the Expense Funds) in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the Disputed Items so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such Disputed Items so submitted. The parties shall direct the Neutral Arbitrator to deliver to the Buyer and the Representative a written determination (such determination to include a work sheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Arbitrator by the Representative and the Buyer) of the Disputed Items submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days of receipt of such Disputed Items, which determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the date of delivery of such written resolution, absent manifest error.

(v) The final, binding and conclusive Final Closing Statement based either upon agreement by the parties, or deemed agreement by Buyer and the Representative in accordance with this Section 2.4, or the written determination delivered by the Neutral Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 2.4(b)(iv) will be the “Conclusive Final Closing Statement.” If any party fails to submit a statement regarding any Disputed Item submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator within the time determined by the Neutral Arbitrator or otherwise fails to give the Neutral Arbitrator access as reasonably requested, then the Neutral Arbitrator shall render a decision based solely on the evidence timely submitted and the access afforded to the Neutral Arbitrator by the other party. Neither the Sellers nor the Representative shall have any liability with respect to Cash and Cash Equivalents, Final Cash, Funded Indebtedness, Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, Final Funded Indebtedness, Seller Expenses or Final Seller Expenses except as determined by this Section 2.4; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.4(b)(v) shall be deemed to limit any of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers set forth herein or the right of the Buyer to seek indemnification therefor pursuant to Article 8; provided further, however, that the Buyer shall not be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same amount pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) or pursuant to Article 8.

(vi) Subject to Section 2.4(b)(vii), the amount by which the Closing Date Payment Amount is greater than the Final Payment Amount, if any, shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Buyer, at the instruction of the Buyer and the Representative, out of the funds in the Escrow Account. Subject to Section 2.4(b)(vii), the amount by which the Closing Date Payment Amount is less than the Final Payment Amount, if any, shall be paid by the Buyer to the Representative (for the ratable benefit of the Sellers) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Representative. Any amount payable to any party pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be treated by the Parties (including for Tax purposes) as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Any adjustment or non-adjustment to the Purchase Price shall not form the basis for any claim for damages pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.4(b):

(A) the “Final Payment Amount” shall be an amount in dollars equal to (A) the Base Purchase Price, plus (B) the Final Cash, minus (C) the amount of any Final Seller Expenses, minus (D) the Final Funded Indebtedness plus (E) the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Tax Benefits exceeds the Estimated Accrued Income Taxes through November 30, 2016, minus (F) the amount (if any) by which the Estimated Accrued Income Taxes through November 30, 2016, exceeds the Estimated Tax Benefits;

(B) the “Final Cash” shall be the Cash and Cash Equivalents as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4;

(C) the “Final Funded Indebtedness” shall be the Closing Date Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4; and

(D) the “Final Seller Expenses” shall be the amount of any Seller Expenses not paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(vii) If, after receipt of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i):

(A) the Representative does not deliver a notice of dispute as described in Section 2.4(b)(ii) within the forty-five (45) day period following the Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement or if within such period the Representative delivers a notice to the Buyer stating that the Representative does not dispute any item in the Final Closing Statement (such notice, a “Non-Dispute Notice”), then on the second (2nd) Business Day following the earlier of the last day of such forty-five (45) day period or the date on which the Buyer receives such Non-Dispute Notice, if applicable, the payment, if any, set forth in Section 2.4(b)(vi) shall be made;

(B) the Representative delivers a notice of dispute as described in Section 2.4(b)(ii) within the forty-five (45) day period following the Representative’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement, then on the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which the Buyer receives such notice of dispute, the payment, if any, set forth in Section 2.4(b)(vi) shall be made in respect of any portion of such Final Closing Statement that is not subject to dispute, if any; and

(C) with respect to any Disputed Item, within two (2) Business Days after resolution or deemed resolution of such Disputed Item in accordance with Section 2.4 (whether by mutual agreement between the Buyer and the Representative, or by decision of the Neutral Arbitrator), any applicable payment with respect to such Disputed Item (or portion thereof) pursuant to the resolution of such Disputed Item (or portion thereof) shall be made pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(vi).

(viii) After the delivery by the Buyer of the Final Closing Statement and until each of the items set forth therein have been determined to be final in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, agents and representatives to, provide to the Representative and its officers, employees, advisors and representatives reasonable access to their books and records solely insofar as such books and records pertain to the items and calculations set forth in the Final Closing Statement and to any other information, including work papers of their respective accountants, and to any employees and premises during regular business hours and on reasonable advance notice, to the extent necessary for the Representative to dispute or object to all or any part of the Final Closing Statement, and to prepare materials for presentation to the Neutral Arbitrator in connection with this Section 2.4.

(ix) The Buyer agrees, solely with respect to the calculations required pursuant to this Section 2.4, that following the Closing until the date the Conclusive Final Closing Statement becomes final, binding and conclusive, the Buyer will not take any actions with respect to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s books and records that would reasonably be expected to affect the ability of the Representative, the Neutral Arbitrator or the Buyer to make any calculation under this Section 2.4; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.4(b)(ix) shall be construed to prevent the Buyer from keeping post-Closing books and records in the ordinary course of business so long as the Buyer preserves a copy of all such books and records necessary to make such calculations until the date the Conclusive Final Closing Statement becomes final, binding and conclusive.

(x) Each of the parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, its sole and exclusive remedy to receive payments owed to it under this Section 2.4 shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount of the Escrow Amount and shall be recoverable solely from the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account. In the event that the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account are insufficient to pay to the Buyer any amounts owed to it pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Buyer shall not be entitled to collect any remaining amounts not satisfied from the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account, and neither the Representative, any of the other Sellers, nor any other Person shall have any liability for any such deficiency.

Section 2.5 Withholding. The Buyer and any other Person acting on the Buyer’s behalf shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable to any Company employee in connection with this Agreement such amounts as they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payments under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. Any amounts that are so deducted, withheld and paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the deduction, withholding and payment was made.

After the Closing Date, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Representative of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, the Buyer or any of the Buyer’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 the Buyer pursuant to Article 8 (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect the Buyer’s right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Sellers shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. The Representative shall be entitled (at the Sellers’ expense) to participate and, at its option, take control of the defense of any pending or threatened Tax Claim, in whole or in part (including any resulting litigation), and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. If the Representative elects to assume the defense of a Tax Claim, the Representative shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments relating to such Tax Claim, and shall allow the Buyer sufficient notice and opportunity to participate in the Tax Claim to the extent of any claims for Taxes for which the Buyer (or the Company or any Subsidiary) may be liable. Neither the Buyer nor the Representative shall settle or compromise (or cause to be settled or compromised) a matter involving a claim for Taxes for which the other party may be liable under this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, unless the Buyer or the Representative, as the case may be, waives the right to be indemnified for the issue being conceded or settled. To the extent the Representative elects to control a Tax Claim pursuant to this Section 7.2, the Representative shall use (and shall cause the Sellers and their affiliates to use) its commercially reasonable efforts to separate from any such Tax Claim any item in respect of which an indemnity is not sought by the Buyer pursuant to Article 8, and to permit, to the greatest extent possible, the Buyer to control the contest of any such item.

Section 7.3 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Representative and the Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article 7 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 any Tax Authority. Each of the Representative and the Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company and 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 the other party 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, the Representative or the Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Representative shall not be required to furnish to the Buyer any Tax Returns (or information related thereto) of the Sellers or their affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), including any Tax Return of an Affiliated Group of which the Sellers or any affiliate of any Seller (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) is a member.

Section 7.4 Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article 8 may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article 7, the provisions of this Article 7 shall govern.

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers contained in Article 3 and Article 4 of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in Article 5 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing for sixteen (16) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 4.1(a), 4.1(b)(ii), 4.1(b)(iii), 4.2 and 4.4 (the “Fundamental Representations”) and in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3(i) shall survive five (5) years from the Closing Date (such sixteen (16) month or five (5) year period, as applicable, the “Survival Period”). The covenants and agreements of the parties that require performance on or after the Closing shall expire in accordance with their terms and claims in respect thereof shall survive until ninety (90) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. No claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 shall or may be made after the date on which the applicable Survival Period has expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that notice of a claim for indemnification under this Article 8 is given in accordance with this Article 8 before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, and such claim shall not have been resolved prior to such applicable date, the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements that are the subject of such claim shall survive solely with respect to such claim. No claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 shall or may be made after the date on which the applicable Survival Period has expired.

Section 8.2 General Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 8.5 and the other provisions of this Article 8, after the Closing, each of the Sellers, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer, and its officers, directors and/or employees (each a “Buyer Indemnitee” and together the “Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless from any damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, but excluding punitive, exemplary, special or consequential damages, or any damages measured by lost profits or a multiple of earnings; provided, however, that the foregoing exclusions shall not apply to the extent such damages are asserted by a third party in claims for indemnification with respect to Third Party Claims) (each a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”) as a result of or arising out of:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or the Sellers in Article 3 or by the applicable Seller in Article 4 of this Agreement as of the date such representation or warranty was made (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date),

(ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) the breach by such Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein that are required to be performed after the Closing Date; or

(iv) any Seller Expenses or Funded Indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not paid or satisfied by the Company at or prior to the Closing, or if paid by Buyer at the Closing, in each case, to the extent not taken into account in the determination of the Closing Date Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2.4.

(b) Subject to Section 8.5 and the other provisions of this Article 8, after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each of the Sellers and their respective officers, directors,

employees, partners and members (each a “Seller Indemnitee” and together the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from any Loss as a result of or arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in Article 5 of this Agreement, (ii) any breach by the Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein that are required to be performed after the Closing Date, and (iii) any breach by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein that are required to be performed after the Closing.

(c) All indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be adjustments to the Purchase Price except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 8.3 Notice of Claims. Any party seeking indemnification under this Article 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for in Section 8.1, promptly notify the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (or, in the case of a Buyer Indemnitee seeking indemnification, such Buyer Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Representative) (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”) in writing (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount and the method of computation of the amount of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which such claim is based; provided that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; provided, further, that failure to give such written notice shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall give the Responsible Party reasonable access to the books, records and assets of the Indemnified Party (and, in the case the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnitee, of the Company and its Subsidiaries) which evidence or support such claim or the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such claim and the right, upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, to interview any appropriate personnel of the Indemnified Party (or the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable) related thereto.

Section 8.4 Third Party Claims.

(a) In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which indemnification is sought by an Indemnified Party, the Responsible Party shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Responsible Party, of the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided that the Responsible Party may not assume control of the defense of Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Responsible Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the fees and expenses of counsel chosen by the Representative shall be paid using the funds in the Escrow Account, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in but not control such defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party; provided further, however, 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 reasonably determines counsel is required, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for more than one (1) such counsel for all the Indemnified Parties and such counsel shall be selected by the Indemnifying Party. So long as the Responsible Party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim except with the prior written consent of the Responsible Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim without the prior consent of the Responsible Party; provided that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity by the Responsible Party or from the Escrow Account, as the case may be, for such claim. If the Responsible Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense thereof or is otherwise prohibited from doing so pursuant to the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim without consent and shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity pursuant to this Agreement. The Responsible Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, either (i) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim, or (ii) consent to the entry of any judgment.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in the investigation, trial and defense of any Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to each party and its agents and representatives to, and reasonable retention by each party of records and information which have been identified by the other party as being reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

Section 8.5 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Indemnification under this Article 8 shall not be available to any Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party first uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain recovery from any Third Party Source (as defined below) for the applicable claim or Loss before making any claim for indemnification against the Responsible Party. The Responsible Party may, in its sole discretion, require any Indemnified Party to grant an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Third Party Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Sections 8.2(a) is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article 8, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Responsible Parties, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Responsible Parties would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article 8 had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

(b) The Buyer Indemnitees shall not have a right to assert claims under any provision of this Agreement for any Losses to the extent that such Losses relate to actions taken by or omitted to be taken by the Buyer or the Company after the Closing Date.

(c) The rights of the Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2(a) are subject to the following limitations:

(i) The amount of any and all Losses will be determined net of any (A) accruals or reserves on the Company Financial Statements or the Conclusive Final Closing Statement, (B) amounts recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under insurance policies with respect to such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any such third party indemnitor or insurer hereunder) (each such source named in this clause (B) a “Third Party Source”) and (C) an amount equal to any Tax savings or benefits realized or realizable by the Indemnified Party as calculated on a with or without basis. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover all amounts payable from a Third Party Source under any insurance policy or any other Contract prior to seeking indemnification hereunder.

(ii) The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) unless the Loss resulting from such claim or series of related claims equals or exceeds $15,000 (the “Mini-Basket”) ; provided that this limitation shall not apply with respect to (A) breaches of the Fundamental Representations any covenants contained herein or (B) the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.6 (collectively, “Special Indemnified Matters”). In addition, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover any Loss pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) in excess of the Mini-Basket unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses (both before and after the relevant Mini-Basket shall have been exceeded) exceeds $177,500 (the “Threshold”), and then only for such Losses in excess of the Threshold; provided that this limitation shall not apply with respect to Losses arising out of or resulting from Special Indemnified Matters.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than with respect to Special Indemnified Matters, in no event shall the Buyer Indemnitees be entitled to recover more than the amount of cash then in the Escrow Account; provided that the maximum aggregate liability of each of the Sellers for Losses arising out of or resulting from claims in respect of Special Indemnified Matters (including with respect to claims of Fraud with respect to Special Indemnified Matters) shall be 75% (100% in the case of a breach of Section 4.4) of the net cash amount of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller hereunder, provided, further however, that the Buyer Indemnities shall first recover Losses for Special Indemnified Matters from the Escrow Account.

(iv) The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover from the Sellers, collectively, pursuant to this Article 8 more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the Special Indemnified Matters as set forth in Section 8.5(c)(iii), after the Closing, on the date that the amount of cash in the Escrow Account is reduced to zero, the Buyer Indemnitees shall have no further rights to indemnification under this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Article 8, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon any Indemnified Party becoming aware of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with normal practices and policies, to mitigate such Losses, and any Losses to the extent directly resulting from such Indemnified Party’s failure to comply with the foregoing shall be excluded from the Losses recoverable by such Indemnified Party from the Responsible Party hereunder.

(g) No Responsible Party shall be liable for any Losses in respect of any liability or Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent liability or Loss becomes an actual liability or Loss and is due and payable. No Responsible Party shall be liable to pay any amount in discharge of a claim under this Article 8 unless and until the liability or Loss in respect of which the claim is made has become due and payable.

(h) No Indemnified Party shall have any right to assert any claim against any indemnifying party hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) with respect to any Loss, cause of action or other claim to the extent such Loss, cause of action or claim is a Loss, cause of action or claim: (i) with respect to which such Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates has taken action (or caused to be taken) with the primary intent of accelerating the time period in which such matter is asserted or payable in order to cause a claim to be made prior to the applicable Survival Date; or (ii) arising from or related to Non-Permitted Testing.

Section 8.6 Special Indemnity. The Buyer shall have no liability for, and the Sellers shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Buyer from and against, any Loss arising as a result of or in connection with a claim by a Seller against the Buyer for any actions taken by the Representative with respect to the allocation and distribution to the Sellers of the cash proceeds received by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

Section 8.7 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, but except to the extent provided in Section 9.12, after the Closing, (a) other than with respect to claims in respect of Section 6.4 and/or Section 9.1, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims by Buyer Indemnitees (whether in contract or tort) relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Sellers, the Company, the shares of Common Stock, the events giving rise to or subject matter of this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or obligations other than the indemnification obligations expressly set forth in this Article 8, and (b) other than with respect to claims in respect of Section 6.4 and/or Section 9.1, making a claim for a proper distribution from the Escrow Account shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Buyer Indemnitees for any Loss, Losses or other amounts arising under the indemnification obligations set forth herein, or otherwise in respect of any Transaction Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than with respect to claims for Losses with respect to Special Indemnified Matters as set forth in Section 8.5(c)(iii). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the Sellers entering into this Agreement, the Buyer hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any claim or cause of action (including, without limitation, any tort claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of its affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) may have against the other parties hereto or their directors, officers or stockholders, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities laws, trade regulation laws or other laws (including any relating to tax, environmental or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement, the events giving rise to or subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for claims pursuant to Section 10.12 or brought under and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the provisions contained in this Article 8.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, liabilities for Fraud (as defined below) shall not be subject to the limitations in Section 8.5(c)(ii), but shall be capped at the amount in the Escrow Account and must be brought within the applicable Survival Period, other than Fraud with respect to Fundamental Representations, which shall be subject to the limitation in Section 8.5(c)(iii) and must be brought within the five (5) year Survival Period. “Fraud” must be proven as follows: all nine elements are required to plead and prove a fraud and willful misrepresentation claim, which must relate to a warranty and representation in this Agreement: (1) a Representer’s representation of fact; (2) falsity of the representation; (3) that the representation was material; (4) the Representer’s knowledge of the falsity of the representation; (5) the Representer’s intent that the representation should be acted upon by the Person in the manner reasonably

contemplated; (6) the injured party’s ignorance of the falsity of the representation; (7) the injured party’s reliance on the representation’s truth; (8) the injured party’s right to rely on the representation; and (9) the injured party’s consequent and proximate injury based on the representation. “Representers” shall mean Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx with respect to representations and warranties regarding the Company and shall mean the applicable Seller with respect to Fraud relating to the representations and warranties in Article 4.

Section 8.8 Distributions from the Escrow Account.

(a) In the event that, following the Closing Date, any Buyer Indemnitee incurs Losses for which it believes it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8, then promptly after the Buyer’s submission to the Representative of a Claim Notice and the Buyer’s and the Representative’s mutual agreement regarding an amount of indemnifiable Losses, the Buyer and the Representative promptly shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Buyer from the Escrow Account such funds as are equal to the undisputed amount. In the event that the Buyer and the Representative do not agree that the Buyer Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article 8, or the Buyer and the Representative do not agree to an undisputed amount of such indemnifiable Losses, then the Representative shall be entitled to contest the Buyer Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification by submitting a written response to the Buyer.

(b) On the sixteen (16)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Funds Distribution Date”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Representative (for the ratable benefit of the Stockholders) an amount equal to the Escrow Amount less the amount of any disbursement of funds out of the Escrow Account prior to the date thereof less such portion of the Escrow Amount subject to any outstanding unresolved Claim Notice delivered prior to the Escrow Funds Distribution Date. In each case, after receipt of such funds, the Representative shall distribute to each Seller its portion of the Escrow Account. Any amounts in the Escrow Account after the resolution of all of the matters subject to any outstanding unresolved Claim Notice delivered prior to the Escrow Funds Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Representative for ratable distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SELLERS

Section 9.1 Authorization of Representative.

(a) Each Seller hereby appoints, authorizes and empowers Bradford (and any successor of Bradford or any assign of Bradford so long as such assign is an affiliate of Bradford) as a representative (the “Representative”), for the benefit of such Seller, as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Seller, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, which shall include the power and authority:

(i) to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement (with such modifications or changes therein as to which the Representative, in its sole discretion, shall have consented) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as the Representative, in its sole discretion, determines to be desirable;

(ii) to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable;

(iii) as Representative, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Sellers (including the Representative, in its capacity as a stockholder in the Company) and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate referred to herein or therein or the transactions provided for herein or therein (including, without limitation, in connection with any and all claims for indemnification brought under Article 8), and to take any and all actions which the Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under the Escrow Agreement and/or this Agreement for and on behalf of any Seller, including, without limitation, asserting or pursuing any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”) against the Buyer and/or Company, defending any Third Party Claims or Claims by the Buyer Indemnitees, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Claims, conducting negotiations with the Buyer, Company and their respective representatives regarding such Claims, and, in connection therewith, to (A) assert any claim or institute any action, proceeding or investigation; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any claim, action, proceeding or investigation initiated by the Buyer, the Company or any other Person, or by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority against the Representative and/or any of the Sellers, and/or the Escrow Funds, and receive process on behalf of any or all of the Sellers in any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and compromise or settle on such terms as the Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation; (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Representative may deem advisable or necessary; (D) settle or compromise any claims asserted under the Escrow Agreement; (E) to finalize any post-Closing adjustments pursuant to Section 2.4, and (F) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such action, proceeding or investigation, it being understood that the Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions;

(iv) to refrain from enforcing any right of the Sellers or any of them and/or the Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document in connection with the foregoing;

(v) (A) to accept any portion of the Purchase Price payable to the Sellers (on behalf of the Sellers ) and to deliver wire instructions to the Buyer in connection therewith; (B) to supervise the Closing; (C) to take any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with indemnification under Article 8 and the Escrow Agreement; (D) to take any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with enforcement or termination of the Shareholders’ Agreement; and (E) to take any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with the payment of the costs and expenses incurred with respect to the Company or the Sellers in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; and

(vi) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or therein or executed in connection herewith and therewith.

(b) The Representative shall not be entitled to any success fee for the performance of its services hereunder, but shall be entitled to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred as the Representative. In connection with the foregoing, at the Closing, the Sellers shall transfer $750,000 (the “Expense Funds”) of the Purchase Price otherwise payable at Closing pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) to the Representative, to be used by the Representative to pay the costs and expenses that it incurs in its capacity as the Representative. In addition, to the extent that the Expense Funds are at any time insufficient (as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion) to cover all of the costs and expenses incurred by the Representative in its capacity as the Representative, then the Representative may, at its option, (x) retain such portion of the Escrow Amount distributed to the Representative pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Escrow Agreement (only when such portion of the Escrow Amount is released to the Representative in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion for purposes of reimbursement of such costs and expenses; (y) retain such amount of the proceeds received by the Sellers after the Closing Date under any term or provision of this Agreement; and (z) seek reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Sellers. Once the Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that the Representative will not incur any additional expenses in its capacity as the Representative, then the Representative will distribute the remaining unused Expense Funds (if any) pro rata to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Ownership Percentages. In connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Representative hereunder (i) the Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Seller by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with the Escrow Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or document and (ii) the Representative shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Representative to liability to any Seller. Each Seller shall indemnify, pro rata based upon their respective Ownership Percentages, the Representative against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever), arising out of or in connection with any claim, investigation, subpoena, challenge, action or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Representative hereunder, or under the Escrow Agreement or otherwise. In the event of any indemnification hereunder, upon written notice from the Representative to the Sellers as to the existence of a deficiency toward the payment of any such indemnification amount, each Seller shall promptly deliver to the Representative full payment of his or her ratable share of the amount of such deficiency (pro rata based upon such Seller’s Ownership Percentage); provided that no such Seller shall be liable for that portion of any claim of indemnification, individually or in the aggregate, that is in excess of such Seller’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) The Buyer and the Company shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Sellers.

(e) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller; and (ii) shall survive the Closing.

Section 10.2 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules hereto, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, any matter that is disclosed in a particular Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been included in the other Schedules, notwithstanding the omission of a cross reference thereto, to the extent the relevance of such matter to such other Schedules is reasonably apparent on the face of such Schedule. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule shall not necessarily mean that such fact or item is material to the Company or its Subsidiaries individually or taken as a whole. In particular, (i) certain matters may be disclosed on Schedules that may not be required to be disclosed because of certain minimum thresholds or materiality standards set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the disclosure of any such matter does not mean that it meets or surpasses any such minimum thresholds or materiality standards and (iii) no disclosure in Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract or law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event shall the listing of such matters in any Schedule be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of any Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Each Schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to specific provisions of the Agreement and does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties or covenants of the Buyer or any Seller or their respective affiliates, except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Matters reflected in a Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters or Contracts required by this Agreement to be disclosed in such Schedules.

Section 10.3 Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge or any duty hereunder shall fall upon a Saturday, Sunday or any date on which banks in New York City, New York are authorized to be closed, the party having such privilege or duty may exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular Business Day.

Section 10.4 Expenses. Regardless of whether the transactions provided for in this Agreement are consummated, except as otherwise provided herein, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. The Sellers understand and acknowledge that all out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the Seller Expenses) that are not paid as of the Closing Date shall be paid by the Buyer and deducted from the Base Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4.

Section 10.5 Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate in any way to this Agreement or

the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related in any way to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the choice of law or conflicts of law principles thereof. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.4, all disputes among the parties hereto that may be based upon, arise out of or relate in any way to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related in any way to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall, if not otherwise resolved by discussions between such parties, be submitted to confidential binding arbitration by one neutral arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) as in effect on the date of this Agreement. If the parties shall not have agreed upon the appointment of arbitrators within thirty (30) days of the commencement of arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.5, the arbitrators shall be selected by the AAA. Each arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years of experience in private equity mergers and acquisitions transactions and knowledgeable and experienced in the applicable laws concerning the subject matter of the dispute. In any case no arbitrator shall be an affiliate, employee, consultant, officer, director or stockholder of any party hereto, or otherwise have any current or previous relationship with either the Buyer or the Sellers or their respective affiliates. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern any such arbitration proceedings. The arbitration shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware and the proceedings will be conducted in English. In any arbitration proceeding, the parties shall be allowed to conduct reasonable document discovery. Depositions and interrogatories shall not be allowed, except by mutual agreement of the parties or order of the arbitrators based on the requesting party showing both a substantial need for such depositions and interrogatories and that the information sought is not available by alternative methods of discovery. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The determination of the arbitrator as to the resolution of any dispute or any other decision to be made by the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties. All rulings of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties except to the extent that the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA provide otherwise. If arbitrated, the arbitrator shall not be given the authority to award fees and costs to the prevailing party (including, but not limited to, legal and accounting costs). The expenses of any arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to such arbitration, provided that each party shall pay for and bear the cost of its own experts, evidence and legal counsel.

Section 10.6 Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, be assigned by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. Except to the extent set forth in Sections 6.4, 9.1, 10.15, 10.16, 10.18 and/or Article 8, this Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.

Section 10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of a copy of this Agreement bearing an original signature by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in “portable document format” shall have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 10.8 Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and table of contents in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not in any way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, and the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, or implied understandings among them with respect to such matters. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 10.10 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.11 No Strict Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared jointly by the parties hereto, and shall not be strictly construed against any party.

Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that: (i) irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by the parties in accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) there would be no adequate remedy at law or in damages to compensate for such performance failure; and (iii) the parties shall be entitled (without the requirement to post a bond) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in binding arbitration in accordance with Section 10.5 of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled by applicable law or in equity.

Section 10.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto waives any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any course of conduct, course of dealing, verbal or written statement or action of any party hereto.

Section 10.14 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by a written instrument authorized and executed on behalf of the Buyer and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) at any time with respect to any of the terms contained herein. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Except as provided in Section 10.6, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 10.15 No Third Party Liability. This Agreement may only be enforced against the named parties hereto. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon,

arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, agents, attorneys, representatives, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of any Seller or any former, current or future direct or indirect equity holder, director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, attorney, representative, general or limited partner, member, manager, affiliate, agent, assignee or representative of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Affiliates”), through any Seller or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Buyer against any Seller or Seller Affiliate by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable action or proceeding, by virtue of any law, or otherwise, except for the Buyer’s rights to recover from the Stockholders (but not any of the Seller Affiliates) under and to the extent provided in this Agreement subject to the limitations described herein. Recourse against the Stockholders under and to the extent provided in this Agreement, subject to the limitations described herein, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer and each Buyer Indemnitee against the Sellers or any Seller Affiliate in respect of any Losses, liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Buyer hereby covenants and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Buyer Indemnitee, that it and they shall not institute, and it and they shall cause their respective affiliates not to institute, any action or proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any document, certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby against the Sellers or any Seller Affiliates except for claims against the Stockholders under and to the extent provided in this Agreement, subject to the limitations described herein.

Section 10.16 Release.

(a) Effective upon the Closing, each of the Sellers, on his, her or its own behalf and on behalf of his, her or its beneficiaries, successors and assigns (each a “Seller Releasing Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby fully releases, remises, acquits and discharges forever, irrevocably and unconditionally, each of the Company, the other Sellers, Bradford and the Representative and their respective past, present and future parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related parties, successors and assigns, and their past, present and future directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, investors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assigns (each a “Seller Released Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from, against and with respect to any and all actions, agreements, causes of action, complaints, charges, claims, covenants, contracts, costs, damages, demands, debts, defenses, duties, expenses, fees, injuries, interest, judgments, liabilities, losses, obligations, penalties, promises, reimbursements, remedies, suits, sums of money and torts of any kind and nature whatsoever, whether in law, equity or otherwise, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, foreseeable or unforeseeable, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent, determined or determinable (collectively, the “Released Claims”), which any of the Seller Releasing Parties ever had or now has, or may hereafter have or acquire, against any of the Seller Released Parties for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising out of, or relating to, any of the Seller Releasing Parties’ ownership interest in the Company, including, without limitation, with respect to the allocation or division of the Purchase Price or rights and/or obligations hereunder, or any rights to, or granted under or in connection with, the Common Stock, or other equity securities of the Company, or any options, warrants, rights, calls, subscriptions, convertible or exchangeable securities or other commitments

of any kind obligating the Company to issue shares of its capital stock or other equity securities or any rights to the payment of dividends or claims of any character; provided, however, that this Section 10.16(a) will not be construed to release (x) any of the Seller Released Parties from his, her or its obligations under this Agreement or the Exhibits hereto, or the ancillary documents, instruments and certificates delivered in connection herewith; or (y) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company from any of its respective obligations (i) arising out of a Seller Releasing Party’s employment with the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) pursuant to, or in respect of the subject matter of, the provisions of Section 6.3. If a Seller Releasing Party makes a claim for a Released Claim against a Seller Released Party, the Seller Releasing Party that makes such claim agrees to pay the legal and other expenses incurred by such Seller Released Party to defend such claim and such Seller Releasing Party must pay such expenses within ten (10) days of receiving the request for such payment from such Seller Released Party.

(b) Effective upon the Closing, the Buyer agrees that each of the Buyer, the Company and each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, on their respective own behalf and on behalf of their respective successors and assigns (the “Company Releasing Parties”), hereby fully releases, remises, acquits and discharges forever, irrevocably and unconditionally, each of the Sellers, Bradford and the Representative, and their respective past, present and future parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related parties, successors and assigns, and their past, present and future directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assigns (collectively, the “Company Released Parties”) from, against and with respect to any and all Released Claims, which any of the Company Releasing Parties ever had or now has, or may hereafter have or acquire, against the Company Released Parties for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever; provided, however, that this Section 10.16(b) will not be construed to release any of the Company Released Parties from his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, including pursuant to Article 8, or the Exhibits hereto, or the ancillary documents, instruments and certificates delivered in connection herewith. If a Company Releasing Party makes a claim for a Released Claim against a Company Released Party, the Company Releasing Party that makes such claim agrees to pay the legal and other expenses incurred by such Company Released Party to defend such claim and such Company Releasing Party must pay such expenses within ten (10) days of receiving the request for such payment from such Company Released Party.

Section 10.17 Legal Representation. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that Dechert LLP (“Dechert”) has historically represented the Company and its Subsidiaries and currently serves as counsel to Bradford and its affiliates, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There may come a time, including after consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, when the interests of Bradford and its affiliates and the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may no longer be aligned or when, for any reason, Bradford and its affiliates, Dechert or the Company and/or its Subsidiaries believes that Dechert cannot or should no longer represent both Bradford and its affiliates and the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. The parties understand and specifically agree that Dechert may withdraw from representing the Company and its Subsidiaries and continue to represent Bradford and its affiliates, even if the interests of Bradford and its affiliates, and the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries are or may be adverse, including in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and even though Dechert may have represented the Company and/or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates, and the Buyer and the Company and its Subsidiaries hereby consent thereto and waive any conflict of interest arising therefrom; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.14 shall be deemed to waive any attorney-client privilege of the Company and its Subsidiaries applicable to and communications or work product in respect of any third party (including any Governmental Authority) and without first giving prior written notice to the Company, which may, at its own cost, promptly seek an appropriate protective order, the Sellers and the Representative shall not waive any such privilege in respect

of a third party. In addition, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any right of access to or control over any of Dechert’s records related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which shall become the property of (and be controlled by) Bradford and its affiliates. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute between Bradford and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any matter in which Dechert acted for them both, none of the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence or any other rights to any evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to Bradford and its affiliates any information or documents developed or shared during the course of Dechert’s joint representation of Bradford and the Company and its Subsidiaries.
