Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that, such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the business operations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Stockholder Representative may object to the Parent Closing Statement by delivering to Parent a written statement setting forth his objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”).

If the Stockholder Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and the 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 Parent Closing Statement with such changes as may be agreed in writing by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, shall be final and binding.

(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) from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund, on the one hand, and by Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount contested but not awarded to the Stockholder Representative or Parent, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount contested by the Stockholder Representative and Parent.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant.

ARTICLE VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.01 Tax Covenants.

(a) Without the prior written consent of Parent, prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies shall not make, change or rescind any Tax election, or amend any Tax Return, or otherwise take any action, that would have the effect of materially increasing the Tax liability of Parent or the Acquired Companies in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period other than elections made and actions taken that are consistent with the past Tax accounting and reporting practices of the Acquired Companies.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, or stamp taxes, and any other similar Taxes imposed in connection with the transfer of shares of Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents shall be borne and paid by the applicable Stockholder to which such Taxes relate when due. The Person(s) required to do so by applicable Law shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes, as necessary or appropriate (and Parent shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(c) Parent shall not without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative (i) cause or permit any Acquired Company to take any action outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date if such action increases the Taxes for which Stockholders are responsible under this Article VI or (ii) make any election under Code Sections 336(e) or 338, or under any similar provisions of state or local or other applicable Tax Laws, with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.02 Tax Returns.

(a) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by any of the Acquired Companies 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 such Tax Return may give rise to a reimbursement or indemnification obligation on the part of the Priority Preferred Stockholders under Section 7.02, such Tax Return shall be submitted by Parent to the Stockholder Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Stockholder Representative, supporting documentation) at least sixty (60) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Stockholder Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return that relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, it shall, within thirty (30) 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 the Stockholder Representative fails to object to such position within such thirty (30) day period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed in writing to the position. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable efforts to resolve such items. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) 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 twenty (20) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Priority Preferred Stockholders) in proportion to the relative level of conformity with the positions ultimately adopted by the Independent Accountant (such that if a party’s original proposed positions are the same as the positions ultimately adopted by the Independent Accountant, then such party shall bear no portion of the relevant costs, fees, and expenses). The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of any of the Acquired Companies that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period shall be exclusively within the control of Parent. Parent shall not amend any Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or otherwise take any

position on any Tax Return (other than a position ultimately adopted by the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 6.02(a)) that may be reasonably expected to result in an indemnification obligation of the Priority Preferred Stockholders in respect of Indemnifiable Taxes under Section 7.02, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative.

Section 6.03 Straddle Period.

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 purchase, acquisition, sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld or otherwise relating to payroll, deemed equal to, in each case, the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended at the close of 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 through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

Section 6.04 Contests.

Parent agrees to give written notice to the Stockholder Representative of the receipt after Closing of any written notice by any of the Acquired Companies, 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 Article VII (a “Tax Claim”). The Stockholder Representative shall have the ability to elect to control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim for which the Priority Preferred Stockholders may be liable for indemnification under Section 7.02; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall obtain the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided, further, that Parent 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 Parent.

Section 6.05 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 Section 6.05 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Acquired Companies. 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 the 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 Acquired Companies 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.

Any indemnification payments pursuant to Article VII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company (prior to the Effective Time) or by the Priority Preferred Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) any claim made by any Stockholder, any Optionholder, any Equity Rights Holder or any other alleged holder of any Capital Stock or rights to acquire Capital Stock relating to such Person’s rights with respect to the Merger Consideration or the calculations and determinations set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet;

(d) any amounts (including costs and attorneys’ fees) paid to the holders of Dissenting Shares, including any interest required to be paid thereon, that are in excess of what such holders would have received hereunder had such holders not been holders of Dissenting Shares and all costs, expenses and other Losses associated with any Actions or related correspondence, discussion, investigations or other matters associated therewith;

(e) any Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness of any Acquired Company outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not paid or satisfied by any Acquired Company prior to the Closing, or if paid by

(f) any Indemnifiable Taxes; or

(g) any fraud in the inducement by the Company prior to the Closing in connection with the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.03 Indemnification of Stockholder Indemnitees. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, each Priority Preferred Stockholder and its Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Stockholder Indemnitees”) shall be indemnified, reimbursed and held harmless by Parent for any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon any of them based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or (following the Effective Time) the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Agreement; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or the Surviving Corporation (in each case, after the Effective Time), Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.04 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (except in the case of Losses resulting from (i) breaches of the Fundamental Representations or (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company) until the aggregate amount of Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) exceed $975,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Parent Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(b) The Stockholder Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover any Losses pursuant to Section 7.03(a) (except in the case of Losses resulting from (i) breaches of the Fundamental Representations, (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Parent or Merger Sub or (iii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Surviving Corporation, but only with respect to actions taken by Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) until the aggregate amount of Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.03(a) exceed the Deductible, in which case the Stockholder Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of the Deductible.

(c) The Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (except in the case of Losses resulting from (i) breaches of the Fundamental Representations or (ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company) which in the aggregate exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Losses which the Parent Indemnitees may be entitled to recover (x) pursuant to Section 7.02(a) resulting from breaches of the Fundamental Representations, (y) pursuant to Section 7.02(a) resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company, or (z) pursuant to Section 7.02(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) shall not exceed the Enterprise Value.

(d) No Priority Preferred Stockholder shall be liable hereunder for any Losses which in the aggregate exceed such Priority Preferred Stockholder’s Indemnification Obligation Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration.

(e) For purposes of this Article VII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty (other than those set forth in Section 3.06 or Section 3.08) shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in such representation or warranty.

Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. For purposes of this Article VII, (i) if Parent (or any other Parent Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party is the Priority Preferred Stockholders, and any references to Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make, or right to receive, payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholder Representative acting on behalf of the Priority Preferred Stockholders, and (ii) if Parent comprises the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party is the Priority Preferred Stockholders, and any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to Stockholder Representative acting on behalf of the Priority Preferred Stockholders. Any payment due to the Priority Preferred Stockholders as the Indemnified Party shall be paid by Parent to the Distribution Agent for further distributions to the Priority Preferred Stockholder(s) in accordance with this Agreement and the Distribution Agent Agreement.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice (whether or not in writing) 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 30 calendar days after the Indemnified Party’s 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 is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. 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 30 days of its receipt of written notice of such Third Party Claim from the Indemnified 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 the Priority Preferred Stockholders, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of any Acquired Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(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. 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 outside 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 material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Section 7.05(a), or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The 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 7.05(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 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 under this Agreement as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed fees and costs incurred through such date and 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 (or upon terms substantially similar to) such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense thereof, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned 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 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of facts or circumstances reasonably likely to give rise to 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 is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all 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 30 days after its receipt of such written 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 any Acquired 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 30 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.

Section 7.06 Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any Third Party Claim in respect of Taxes of any Acquired Company shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.04 hereof.

Section 7.07 Payments; R&W Insurance Policy; Indemnification Escrow Fund.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party, finally determined to be payable pursuant to this Article VII or is required to be paid pursuant to any Governmental Order, (i) if Parent is the Indemnifying Party, Parent shall make payment of the full amount of indemnifiable Losses to the Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days of such determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnified Party, or (ii) if the Priority Preferred Stockholders are the Indemnifying

Party, then, subject to Section 7.07(b) and Section 7.07(c), within five (5) Business Days of such agreement, final determination or Governmental Order, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay promptly the full amount of indemnifiable Losses to the Indemnified Party, up to the amount then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnified Party.

(b) Any Losses payable to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (except in the case of Losses resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company) or Section 7.02(f) shall be satisfied: (i) first, from the Indemnification Escrow Fund, but only up to the R&W Insurance Policy Retention Amount, (ii) second, to the extent coverage is available under the R&W Insurance Policy, pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, up to the R&W Insurance Policy Coverage Limit, and (iii) finally, from the Indemnification Escrow Fund.

(c) Any Losses payable to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.02(a) (but only in the case of Losses resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Company), or pursuant to Section 7.02(b), (c), (d), (e) or (g), shall be satisfied: (i) first, from the amount then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, and (ii) finally, by the Priority Preferred Stockholders, severally but not jointly, in accordance with their respective Indemnification Obligation Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Losses exceed the amount recovered pursuant to the foregoing clause (i).

(d) On the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay any amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund (less any amounts reserved in respect of pending claims for indemnification that were asserted prior to such date in accordance with this Article VII) to the Distribution Agent, for further distribution to the Priority Preferred Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of any such amount.

Section 7.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.09 Effect of Investigation; Mitigation. 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent required by applicable law, each of the parties shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses. Except pursuant to a settlement agreed to by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will not waive or release any contractual right to recover from any third party any Loss subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Any Losses recoverable pursuant to this Article VII shall be reduced by any proceeds to which the Indemnified Party actually recovers from any insurer or other third party in respect of such Losses (including pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy).

Section 7.10 Exclusive Remedies. The parties (other than the Stockholder Representative with respect to Section 8.01(c)) acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud or intentional misrepresentation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any Losses resulting from 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 this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall limit any party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which such party shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.01 Stockholder Representative

(a) By executing this Agreement, and by the consummation of the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive a portion of the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Priority Preferred Stockholder shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed the Stockholder Representative as such Person’s representative, agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Person with respect to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Distribution Agent Agreement, and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Distribution Agent Agreement, including without limitation the exercise of the power to:

(i) give and receive notices and communications on behalf of such Person;

(ii) authorize delivery to Parent of cash from the Integration Cost Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any amounts owed to Parent pursuant to Section 2.18 or from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any amounts owed to Parent pursuant to Section 2.16 or in respect of claims for indemnification made by Parent pursuant to Article VII;

(iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders or otherwise handle any other matters described in Section 2.16, Section 2.18 or Article VII;

(iv) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VII;

(v) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Distribution Agent Agreement;

(vi) make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Distribution Agent Agreement;

(vii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist the Stockholder Representative in complying with its duties and obligations; and

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

Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholder Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement (including Article VII) 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 Priority Preferred Stockholder by the Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Priority Preferred Stockholder by the Stockholder Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Priority Preferred Stockholders. Any decision or action by the Stockholder Representative hereunder, including any agreement between the 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 Priority Preferred Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Priority Preferred Stockholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 8.01, 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 Priority Preferred Stockholders, or by operation of Law.

(k) 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 Priority Preferred Stockholders according to each Priority Preferred Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Majority Holders”); provided, however, in no event shall the Stockholder Representative be removed without the Majority Holders having first appointed a new Stockholder Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the removal of the Stockholder Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of the 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 and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Stockholder Representative as described in Section 8.01(a) above.

(l) The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable to the Priority Preferred Stockholders for actions taken or omitted in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Distribution Agent 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, willful 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 the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Priority Preferred Stockholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (“Representative Losses”), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Distribution Agent Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall reimburse the Priority Preferred Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Priority Preferred Stockholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund, (ii) the amounts in the Indemnification Escrow Fund or the Integration Cost Escrow Fund, in each case, at such time, if at all, as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Priority Preferred Stockholders therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, that, while this Section 8.01(c) allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund, the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Integration Cost Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Priority Preferred Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Shareholders or otherwise. Any restrictions or limitations on indemnity contained elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative in this paragraph. The foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement. The Priority Preferred Stockholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For tax purposes, the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund

will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Priority Preferred Stockholders at the time of Closing. The Stockholder Representative Expense Fund shall be retained by the Stockholder Representative until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date at which time the Stockholder Representative shall pay any amounts remaining in the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund to the Distribution Agent for further payment to the Priority Preferred Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of any such amount; provided, that the Stockholder Representative may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, retain all or any portion of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund for such longer period as is reasonable necessary to satisfy its obligations hereunder (and shall thereafter pay any amounts remaining in the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund to the Distribution Agent for further payment to the Priority Preferred Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of any such amount).

Section 8.02 Expenses.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expense.

This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.

Section 8.05 Headings.

The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.06 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 8.07 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Exclusivity Fee Cancellation Agreement constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Ancillary Documents (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exclusivity Fee Cancellation Agreement), the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 8.08 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Parent on the one hand and the Stockholder Representative on the other; provided, that, this Agreement may be assigned by Parent to any of its Affiliates or to any Person acquiring a material portion of the assets, business or securities of Parent, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or securities or otherwise.

This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 5.03 and Article VII.

Section 8.10 Amendment and Modification; Waiver.

This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, there shall be no amendment or waiver that, pursuant to applicable Law, requires further approval of the Stockholders (or any subset thereof), without the receipt of such further approvals. Any failure of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, or the Priority Preferred Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by Parent (with respect to any failure by the Priority Preferred Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative) or by the Stockholder Representative (with respect to any failure by Parent or the Surviving Corporation), respectively, only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 8.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i)To determine from time to time which Service Providers shall be designated as Participants entitled to participate in the Plan and the terms under which they will be entitled to participate (subject to the terms of the Plan).

(iv)To establish, change and adjust, in its sole discretion but subject to the last sentence of Section 2(m), the Bonus Amount for each Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall not have the authority to, and may not execute and deliver any Participation Agreement(s) that would cause, or take any action that would otherwise result in, the aggregate Bonus Amounts of all Participants to exceed the Bonus Pool at any time.

All expenses and liabilities that the Administrator incurs in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be borne by the Company or its successor. No members of the Board or person acting in the capacity of Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any distribution paid hereunder, and all members of the Board and each person acting in the capacity of Administrator shall be fully indemnified and held harmless by the Company or its successor in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.

4.Eligibility.

Service Providers will only become “Participants” in the Plan by executing a Participation Agreement provided to them by the Administrator. Other than any Service Provider who ceases to be a Service Provider pursuant to a written agreement or instrument (including but not limited to a letter or resignation, a notice of termination or a severance agreement) terminating such individual’s service to the Company subject to, conditioned upon and effective at or immediately prior to the Closing (such individual, a “Transition Service Provider”), a Service Provider will cease to be a Participant at such time as he or she ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason at any time prior to the Closing. Any Transition Service Provider shall be deemed to be a Service Provider and Participant at the Closing for purposes of this Plan. Only Participants who are Service Providers at the Closing may receive payments pursuant to the Plan.


5.	Allocation of Bonus Pool.

(a)The allocation of the Bonus Pool to individuals designated as Participants shall be set forth in writing from time to time as determined by the Administrator and specified in the applicable Participant’s Participation Agreement. Each Participant’s payment under the Plan (his or her “Bonus Amount”) will be the amount set forth in such Participant’s Participation Agreement, as such amount may be modified pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The aggregate of the Bonus Amounts set forth in the Participation Agreements with all Participants may not exceed the Bonus Pool at any time.

(b)If a former Participant ceases to be a Participant at any time prior to the Closing, such former Participant’s Bonus Amount shall be forfeited and be available for reallocation and distribution under this Plan at or prior to the Closing as determined by the Administrator or pursuant to Section 5(c).

(c)In the event that the sum of the Bonus Amounts of all Participants at the Closing is less than the amount of the Bonus Pool, then the amount by which the Bonus Pool exceeds such sum (the “Unallocated Portion”)

Exhibit A-3

shall be allocated among all Participants at the Closing by way of ratably increasing the Bonus Amount of each such Participant in proportion to such Participants’ Bonus Amount immediately prior to such allocation of the Unallocated Portion, so that after such allocation of the Unallocated Portion, the sum of the Bonus Amounts of all Participants at the Closing is equal to the Bonus Pool.

6.Distributions.

(a)If the conditions for distribution set forth in the Plan and a Participant’s Participation Agreement are satisfied, then on or after the Closing Date, each Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company his or her Bonus Amount in one distribution at Closing.

(b)The Bonus Amounts shall be distributed to Participants as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event that the benefits provided for in this Plan, when taken together with any other benefits otherwise payable to a Participant (such benefits, collectively, the “Payments”) (1) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (2) but for this Section 6(c), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Participant’s Payments will be reduced and delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section will be made in writing by a nationally or regionally recognized certified public accounting firm selected by the Company or such other person or entity to which the Company and the Participant mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Participant and the Company for all purposes. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that no portion of the Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, the reduction shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments under this Plan; (2) reduction of cash payments constituting severance payable upon termination of employment; (3) reduction of cash payments pursuant to other benefits paid or provided to the Participant in connection with or as a result of a Change of Control; and (4) acceleration of equity awards. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for the Participant’s equity awards. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro‑rata basis. In no event shall the Participant have any discretion with respect to the ordering of reductions in payments or benefits. In the event of any reduction in the payment of any Bonus Amount to a Participant under the Plan as a result of this Section 6(c), the amount of such reduction shall be reallocated among all other Participants at the time of such reduction by way of ratably increasing the Bonus Amounts of each such other Participant in proportion to such other Participants’ Bonus Amounts, subject to the limitations of this Section 6(c); in the event that any portion of any Bonus Amount remains unallocated after the application of this sentence to each reduction in Bonus Amounts pursuant to this Section 6(c), such unallocated portion shall not be payable under this Plan and the Bonus Pool shall be reduced by such unallocated portion.

For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. Any good faith determinations of the Firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company submits any portion of the Payments payable to such Participant to the Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Treasury Reg. Section 1.280G‑1 Q&A 7, the foregoing provisions shall not apply following such submission and the portion of the Payments will be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, except that any reduction in, or waiver of, any portion of the Payments required by the results of such vote will be applied without any application of discretion by the Participant and in the order prescribed by this Section 6(c).


7.	Amendment or Termination of the Plan.

(a)The Board may, at any time prior to the Closing, amend the Plan; provided, however, that in no event may any amendment unilaterally impair the rights of Participants (including, without limitation, reducing the Bonus Amount of any Participant) without such Participant’s written consent except as may be required by applicable law or as necessary to correct an administrative error. This Plan shall be assumed by any successor to or acquirer of the Company to the extent that benefits remain payable under this Plan.

Exhibit A-4

(b)The Plan shall automatically terminate upon the completion of all payments under the terms of the Plan. The Plan (including any obligation by the Company to make payments under all then-outstanding Participation Agreements) shall automatically terminate upon earlier to occur of any of the following events if such event occurs prior to the Closing: (i) the closing date of a recapitalization of the Company that results in the elimination of the existing liquidation preferences with respect to all the outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock, (ii) the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or (iii) December 31, 2016.


8.	No Equity Interest.

Neither the Plan nor any distribution hereunder creates or conveys any equity or ownership interest in the Company or any rights commonly associated with such interests, including, without limitation, the right to vote on any matters put before the stockholders of the Company.


9.	No Guarantee of Future Service.

Neither the designation of a Service Provider as a Participant nor the execution of a Participation Agreement shall provide any guarantee or promise of continued service of the Participant with the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary), and the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing a Participant) retains the right to terminate the employment or service of any Service Provider at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason, except as may be restricted by law or contract.


10.	Tax Withholding.

The Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld from any distributions under the Plan any amount required to satisfy the Company’s income, employment and other tax withholding obligations under federal, state and other applicable law. By executing a Participation Agreement, Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the Internal Revenue Service will determine that the Plan benefits are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”). Each Service Provider agrees that if the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Plan benefits are deferred compensation, Participant shall be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination, if any.


11.	Funding.

The Plan shall be funded out of the Company’s general assets. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company.


12.	Bonus Plan.

The Plan is intended to be a “bonus program” as defined under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 2510.3‑2(c) and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention.


13.	Nonassignability.

The Company may not assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of any rights or obligations under any Participation Agreement unless the Board reasonably believes that the assignee or transferee has sufficient resources to satisfy the obligations under such Participation Agreement. No Participant may assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law, any rights or obligations under any Participation Agreement without the Administrator’s prior written consent other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order.


14.	Code Section 409A.

The Company and each Participant will work together in good faith to consider either (i) amendments to the Plan; or (ii) revisions to the Plan with respect to the payment of any bonus amounts, which are necessary or appropriate to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to the actual payment to the Participant under Section 409A. It is intended that this Plan is exempt from or comply with Section 409A to the extent applicable.

Exhibit A-5


15.	Choice of Law.

All questions concerning the construction, validation and interpretation of the Plan will be governed by the law of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.


16.	Headings.

The headings in the Plan are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.


17.	Successors and Assigns.

Subject to Section 13, the Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon a Change of Control the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the acquirer to assume the Company’s obligations and liabilities hereunder. Subject to Section 13, each Participation Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators or permitted successors or assigns.


18.	Notices.

Any notice required or permitted hereunder or any Participation Agreement shall be in writing, shall reference the Plan and/or such Participation Agreement and shall be deemed to be properly given: (i) when delivered personally; (ii) when sent by facsimile; (iii) five (5) business days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) the next business day after deposit with an overnight private industry express courier or transmission via electronic mail to the electronic mail address of the Participant set forth in the Participation Agreement.

You also agree that because this release specifically covers known and unknown claims, you waive your rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any other comparable statute of any jurisdiction, 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 TO THE DEBTOR.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Company acknowledge and agree that you are not waiving or being required to waive any right that cannot be waived as a matter of law, including the right to file a charge with or participate in an investigation by a governmental administrative agency; provided, however, that you hereby disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation.

The Company has the right to cancel any Bonus Amounts otherwise payable to you under the Plan following any unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information by you.

You understand and agree that discussing, revealing or in any way communicating the Confidential Information to a non‑authorized person or entity is grounds for immediate termination of employment or other service relationship.

The Parties understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds transfer instructions pursuant to the security procedure selected by such Party may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay.

Section 1.5. 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 Parent, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year.

(b) For certain payments made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent may be required to make a “reportable payment” or “withholdable payment” and in such cases the Escrow Agent shall have the duty to act as a payor or withholding agent, respectively, that is responsible for any tax withholding and reporting required under Chapters 3, 4, and 61 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Escrow Agent shall have the right to request from any party to this Escrow Agreement, or any other person or entity entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Escrow Agent to satisfy its reporting and withholding obligations under the Code.

The indemnification provided by this Section 1.5(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.

(d) The Parties hereto acknowledge that, in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and /or enters into a business relationship. The Parties hereby agree that they shall provide the Escrow Agent with such information as the Escrow Agent may request including, but not limited to, each Party’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will assist the Escrow Agent in identifying and verifying each Party’s identity such as organizational documents, certificates of good standing, licenses to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.

[“___________”] has reviewed each of the security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Escrow Agent. By selecting the security procedure specified in Part III of this Exhibit B-1, [“___________”] acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Escrow Agent in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by [“___________”].

NOTICE: The security procedure selected by [“___________”] will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by [“___________”]. If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary. If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution. Therefore, it is important that [“___________”] take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Escrow Agent.

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

To: _________________

DFine, Inc. (the “Company”) has designated you as a “Participant” who is eligible to participate in the DFine, Inc. 2016 Management Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). By signing and returning this Participation Agreement, you will become a “Participant” in the Plan. Your participation in the Plan is contingent upon your continued employment with or service as service provider to the Company up to the date of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Plan) and your agreement to the terms of the Plan and this Participation Agreement. The terms of the Plan are incorporated by reference and, in the case of any conflict between this Participation Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will govern. Defined terms capitalized but not defined in this Participation Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

Exhibit D-7

For purposes of the Plan, your “Bonus Percentage” (the percentage of the Bonus Pool that has been allocated to you) is _______________________ percent (_______%).

As noted in the Plan, Bonus Amounts may only be earned if there is a Closing of a Change of Control transaction and only if there is a disbursement from the Integration Cost Escrow Fund to the Surviving Corporation for further payment to participants in the Plan, as provided in Section 2.18 of the Merger Agreement. Whether you earn the right to receive your potential Bonus Amount is governed by the Plan and the Merger Agreement. You hereby acknowledge that the Company is an “at will” employer. That means that you and the Company have the right to terminate your employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without cause. Nothing in this Participation Agreement changes the “at will” nature of your employment or consultancy.

In consideration of your designation as a Participant and as a material inducement to the Company entering into this Participation Agreement and providing you with the opportunity to receive the Bonus Amount, which you acknowledge exceeds any amounts to which you otherwise may be entitled under the Company’s policies and practices or applicable law, you and your representatives completely release from, and agree to not file, cause to be filed or pursue against, the Company, its affiliated, related, parent or subsidiary companies, and its present and former directors, officers, stockholders and employees (the “Released Parties”) all claims, complaints, grievances or charges of any kind, known and unknown, which you may now have or have ever had against any of them, or arising out of your relationship with any of them, including all claims for compensation and bonuses, attorneys’ fees, and all claims arising from your employment with the Company or the termination of your employment, whether based on contract, tort, statute, local ordinance, regulation or any comparable law in any jurisdiction (“Released Claims”). By way of example and not limitation, Released Claims shall include any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the federal Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”) under 29 U.S.C. § 2102 et seq., the California WARN Act, California Labor Code § 1400 et seq., the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (or any comparable law in any jurisdiction). You represent that you have not filed or initiated or caused to be filed or initiated any lawsuits, claims, complaints, administrative grievances or charges against any Released Party in any court or with any government agency. You expressly covenant and warrant that you have not assigned or transferred to any person or entity any portion of any claims that are waived, released and/or discharged herein.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter of Transmittal is being delivered to you in connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of MMS Transaction Co. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (“Parent”), a Utah Corporation, with and into DFine, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Priority Preferred Stockholders identified therein and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the Stockholder Representative (the “Merger Agreement”), dated July 6, 2016 (the “Effective Time”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. If you would like to request an additional copy of the Merger Agreement, please contact the office of the Corporate Secretary of Parent at Merit Medical Systems, Inc., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company pursuant to Section 251 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Other than any shares of Common Stock or Preferred

Exhibit G-2

Stock of the Company (collectively “Capital Stock”) owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Exception Shares”) or any shares of Capital Stock held by a holder who properly exercises appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or dissenters’ rights in accordance with Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL or dissenters’ rights under the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”), with respect to such shares in which case such shares of Capital Stock will no longer be Dissenting Shares), at the Effective Time, each share of Capital Stock of the Company that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Shares”) was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, associated with the respective class and series of Capital Stock in cash, without interest, together with any amounts that may become payable in respect of such share of Capital Stock in the future from the Escrow Funds or in respect of the Post-Closing Adjustment or the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund, in each case, at the respective times and subject to the contingencies and terms specified in the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (collectively, the “Per Share Consideration”). The Exception Shares were cancelled without payment at the Effective Time in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement. The Dissenting Shares will be addressed as provided in Section 2.10 of the Merger Agreement, Section 262 of the DGCL and Chapter 13 of the CCC. Due to the liquidation preferences associated with the Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, the Per Share Consideration associated with the Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock is zero. Each registered holder of Shares of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock (the “Priority Preferred Stock”) is entitled to receive in exchange for the surrender of such Shares an amount equal to the Per Share Consideration associated with such series of Priority Preferred Stock multiplied by the number of Shares surrendered, all on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”).

Each registered holder of Shares, including each registered holder of any stock certificate(s) representing Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Certificate(s)”), who wishes to surrender such Shares for the Merger Consideration must complete this Letter of Transmittal in its entirety and comply with all of its terms and conditions. Please read this entire Letter of Transmittal carefully. The instructions included in this Letter of Transmittal must be followed. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal other than as set forth herein will not constitute a valid delivery. You must sign this Letter of Transmittal where indicated below (with signature guarantee, if required) and complete the Substitute Form W-9 provided herein (if required).

The undersigned hereby surrenders the above-described Shares for the purpose of receiving the Merger Consideration in exchange for such Shares, pursuant to and subject to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and this Letter of Transmittal, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. The undersigned agrees that the surrender of such Shares shall be irrevocable. Delivery of any Certificate(s) shall be effected, and risk of loss with respect to such Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon proper delivery thereof in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal. The Disbursing Agent shall be Citibank, N.A. The undersigned understands that surrender is not made in acceptable form until the receipt by Parent, of this Letter of Transmittal, or copy hereof, duly completed and signed, and of the Shares surrendered hereby, together with all accompanying evidences of authority, which evidences of authority shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

The undersigned hereby confirms that (i) the undersigned has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and to surrender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares surrendered herein, (ii) immediately prior to consummation of the Merger, the undersigned had good and unencumbered title to such Shares, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim, and (iii) the payment of the Merger Consideration in exchange for such Shares surrendered hereby will discharge completely any and all obligations of Parent, the Company and the Disbursing Agent with respect to such Shares. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional

Exhibit G-3

documents deemed by Parent to be necessary or desirable to complete the surrender of such Shares and the delivery of any Certificate(s) for the Merger Consideration.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees (i) to the appointment of Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the undersigned’s representative and agent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and (ii) to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII of the Merger Agreement as a Priority Preferred Stockholder, including without limitation the indemnification provisions in favor of the Stockholder Representative in Section 8.01(c) thereof.

Unless otherwise indicated herein under “Special Payment Instructions,” the Disbursing Agent will mail a check (or if wire instructions are indicated on the signature page hereof, send a wire transfer) for the Merger Consideration in the name(s) of the undersigned. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” the Disbursing Agent will mail a check (or if wire instructions are indicated on the signature page hereof, send a wire transfer) for the Merger Consideration for the Shares (and accompanying documents as appropriate) to the undersigned at the address shown below the undersigned’s signature(s). In the event that both “Special Payment Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed, the Disbursing Agent will issue the check (or if wire instructions are indicated on the signature page hereof, send a wire transfer) for the Merger Consideration for the Shares surrendered hereby in the name(s) of, and mail the check to, the person so indicated.

All questions as to the validity of any surrender of Shares or mailing or delivery of this Letter of Transmittal will be determined by Parent (which may delegate power to make such determination in whole or in part to its legal counsel), and such determination will be final and binding. Parent reserves the absolute right to reject any or all Shares surrendered hereby or Letters of Transmittal to the extent not in the form required by the Merger Agreement or the instructions hereto or the payment for which is unlawful. Parent also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the surrender of any Shares, Certificate(s) or Letters of Transmittal. None of the Company, Parent (or any of its affiliates), the Disbursing Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any surrender of Shares, Certificate(s) or Letter of Transmittal or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification to any person (even if such notification is given to other persons). A surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived.

If any Certificate(s) you are surrendering has been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent) of that fact by you claiming such Certificate(s) to be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the payment by you of any applicable fees of Parent, Parent will, in exchange for such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate(s), pay or cause to be paid the consideration deliverable in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate(s) pursuant to the Merger Agreement. If any Certificate(s) you are surrendering has been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, see Instruction 8.

IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE MERGER CONSIDERATION, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. NO INTEREST WILL ACCRUE ON ANY CASH PAYMENT DUE TO YOU.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Guarantee of Signatures. Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed (i) if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares surrendered herewith and such holder(s) has not completed either the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal or (ii) if Shares surrendered herewith are surrendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 4. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a member in good standing of a recognized Medallion Program approved by The Securities Transfer Association, Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP) and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP) or any other “eligible guarantor institution” (as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each an “Eligible Institution”).

2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificate(s). This Letter of Transmittal should be completed and signed by the record holder or holders of the Shares listed in the box marked “Description of Shares Surrendered” beginning on page 2 of this Letter of Transmittal (unless the listed Shares have been transferred or assigned, in which case this Letter of Transmittal should be signed by the transferee or assignee). This Letter of Transmittal, together with any surrendered Certificate(s) listed on this form, should be delivered in the manner provided on page 1 of this Letter of Transmittal.

The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Shares surrendered hereby and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the surrendering shareholder and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by Parent and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Letter of Transmittal. If delivery is by mail, we recommend that any Certificate(s) and documents be sent by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested.

All questions as to the validity of any surrender of Shares or Certificate(s) or mailing or delivery of this Letter of Transmittal will be determined by Parent (which may delegate power to make such determination in whole or in part to its legal counsel)), and such determination will be final and binding. Parent reserves the absolute right to reject any or all Shares or Certificate(s) surrendered hereby or Letters of Transmittal to the extent not in the form required by the Merger Agreement or the instructions hereto or the payment for which is unlawful. Parent also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the surrender of any Shares or Certificate(s) or Letters of Transmittal. None of the Company, Parent (or any of its affiliates), the Disbursing Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any surrender of Shares or Certificate(s) or Letter of Transmittal or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification to any person (even if such notification is given to other

Exhibit G-9

persons). A surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived.

3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided herein is inadequate, the Certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares and any other relevant information should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto.

4. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements.

(a) Exact Signatures.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares surrendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

(b) Joint Holders.

If any of the Shares surrendered hereby are held of record by two or more persons, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any of the Shares surrendered hereby are registered in different names on different certificates or (in the case of Shares not represented by certificates) in different accounts, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Shares.

(d) When Endorsements or Stock Powers are Not Required.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares surrendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made in the name of any person other than the registered holder(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

(e) When Endorsements or Stock Powers are Required.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Shares surrendered hereby, certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificates for such Shares. Signature(s) on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 1.

(f) Evidence of Fiduciary or Representative Capacity.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing. Parent may, in its discretion, demand proper evidence satisfactory to Parent of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted.

5. Stock Transfer Taxes. Parent will pay any stock transfer taxes imposed on the sale and transfer of any Shares to it or its order (for the avoidance of doubt, transfer taxes do not include U.S. federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes). If, however, payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to any person other than the registered holder(s), or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the sale or transfer of Shares to Parent pursuant to the Merger, then the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether

Exhibit G-10

imposed on the registered holder(s) or otherwise) will be deducted from the Merger Consideration unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.

Except as provided in this Instruction 5, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Share certificates listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

6. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If payment for the Merger Consideration related to any Shares surrendered hereby is to be issued (or if wire instructions are indicated on the signature page hereof, the wire transfer is to be made) in the name of a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if the check for the Merger Consideration is to be sent to an address different from that of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, then the “Special Payment Instructions” on page 8 of this Letter of Transmittal and/or “Special Delivery Instructions” on page 9 of this Letter of Transmittal must be completed. To complete your transfer request you must also indicate above a Transfer Reason by executing the Transfer Reason box above.

7. Tax Information and Substitute Form W-9. Under U.S. federal income tax law, a stockholder that is a non-exempt U.S. person who surrenders Shares is required by law to provide Parent with its correct taxpayer identification number. Failure to provide Parent with the correct taxpayer identification number may subject the stockholder to penalties. In addition, under the U.S. federal income tax laws, Parent may be required to (or cause the Disbursing Agent to) withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service backup withholding at a rate of 28% from any payments of the Merger Consideration made in respect of Shares surrendered hereby.

To avoid penalties and backup withholding, surrendering U.S. stockholders and, if applicable, any other payee, must provide Parent with the correct taxpayer identification number and certify that it is not subject to such backup withholding by completing the Substitute Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. In general, if a stockholder or payee is an individual, the taxpayer identification number is the social security number of such individual.

Certain stockholders or payees (including, among others, corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. Non-U.S. stockholders should certify their non-U.S. status on the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (a copy of which may be obtained from Parent or online at xxx.xxx.xxx) to avoid backup withholding. Such stockholders should consult a tax advisor to determine which Form W-8 is appropriate. For further information concerning backup withholding and instructions for completing the Substitute Form W-9 (including how to obtain a taxpayer identification number if you do not have one and how to complete the Substitute Form W-9 if Shares are held in more than one name), consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9.

Failure to complete and provide Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the Substitute Form W-9 will not, by itself, cause Shares to be deemed invalidly surrendered, but may require Parent to (or cause the Disbursing Agent to) withhold 28% of the amount of any payments made pursuant to the Offer. Backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding tax rules from a payment generally will be allowed as a credit against that holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. Failure to complete and return Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the Substitute Form W-9 may result in backup withholding of 28% from any payments of Merger Consideration made to you in respect of Shares surrendered hereby. Please review the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for additional details.

8. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If the certificate(s) representing Shares to be surrendered have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, stockholders should (i) complete this Letter of Transmittal and check the appropriate box above and contact Xxxxx Xxxxx, at Xxxx Xxxxx Xxx & Xxxxxxxx,

Exhibit G-11

NOTE:	FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS FORM MAY RESULT IN BACKUP WITHHOLDING ON PAYMENTS OF MERGER CONSIDERATION MADE TO YOU IN RESPECT OF SHARES SURRENDERED HEREBY. PLEASE REVIEW ENCLOSED GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION

NUMBER ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9

Use Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (available online at xxx.xxx.xxx) or the Substitute Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal to (1) provide your correct taxpayer identification number to the payer, (2) certify that the taxpayer information number you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), (3) certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or (4) claim exemption from backup withholding.

Parent will provide the Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 instructions upon request. These guidelines are intended to help payees complete the Substitute Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal.

GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING WHETHER YOU ARE A U.S. PERSON-For U.S. federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: (a) an individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, (b) a partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the U.S. or under the laws of the U.S., (c) an estate (other than a foreign estate), or (d) a domestic trust (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Resident aliens may be subject to special rules. Such stockholders should consult a tax advisor to determine their taxpayer identification number and the applicability of certain treaty benefits to them.

If you are not a U.S. person, do not complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the Substitute Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (a copy of which may be obtained from the Depositary or online at xxx.xxx.xxx). Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN is the version of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 that is most likely to apply to non-U.S. stockholders claiming an exemption from backup withholding, but all non-U.S. stockholders should consult a tax advisor to determine which Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 is appropriate.

GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING THE PROPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER TO GIVE THE PAYER IN PART 1-Social Security numbers have nine digits separated by two hyphens: i.e.,

Complete and submit the form according to its instructions.

GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A PAYEE CAN CHECK THE “EXEMPT PAYEE” BOX IN PART 1-If you are exempt from backup withholding, check the “Exempt payee” box and sign and date the form. Generally, individuals are not exempt from backup withholding. Even if you are exempt from backup withholding, you should submit Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or the Substitute Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.

Payments over $600 that are required to be reported and direct sales over $5,000 generally are exempt from backup withholding if made to the exempt payees listed at (1) through (7) below. Unless otherwise indicated, all “section” references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Payees exempt from backup withholding on all payments include:


1.	An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), any Individual Retirement Account (XXX), or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account satisfies the requirements of section 401(f)(2).


2.	The U.S. or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.


3.	A state, the District of Columbia, a possession of the U.S., or any of their political subdivisions or instrumentalities.


4.	A foreign government or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities.

Other payees that may be exempt from backup withholding for certain types of payments include:


6.	A corporation.


7.	A foreign central bank of issue.


8.	A dealer in securities or commodities required to register in the U.S., the District of Columbia, or a possession of the U.S.


9.	A futures commission merchant registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.


10.	A real estate investment trust.


11.	An entity registered at all times during the tax year under the Investment Company Act of 1940.


12.	A common trust fund operated by a bank under section 584(a).


13.	A financial institution.

Exhibit G-15


15.	A trust exempt from tax under section 664 or described in section 4947.

Privacy Act Notice

Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest or other payments to give their correct taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments to the Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of tax returns. It may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions to carry out their tax laws. It may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, and to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.

Payees must provide payers with their taxpayer identification numbers whether or not they are required to file a U.S. tax return. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

Penalties

(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number-If you fail to furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

(2) Civil Penalty for False Information With Respect to Withholding-If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

(3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information-Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
