As promptly as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days following the appointment of the Independent Accounting Firm (or such longer period as Buyer and the Seller Representative may agree in writing), Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Independent Accounting Firm (with a copy delivered to the other Party on the same day). As soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days (or such longer period as Buyer and the Seller Representative may agree in writing), Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to choose one of the Parties’ positions based solely upon the presentations by Buyer and the Seller Representative. The Party whose position is not accepted by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. In the event a Dispute Claim is issued, the Closing Statement (and any amendments thereto) shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties upon (A) agreement thereto by Buyer and the Seller Representative or (B) determination thereto by the Independent Accounting Firm. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Final Closing Statement” shall mean the Closing Statement, as finally determined (including by modification or adjustment) pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c), and the “Final Purchase Price” shall mean the Purchase Price as calculated based on the Final Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Closing Date Repayment Indebtedness and Final Selling Expenses set forth in the Final Closing Statement. Buyer and Sellers shall conduct the Inventory Take within seven (7) days following the Closing Date, or on such other date as may be otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties. For the purposes of determining the Final Working Capital, the “Inventory” line item for the purposes of “Current Assets” shall be determined in accordance with the Inventory Take, it being understood that any and all inventory shipped or otherwise delivered by Buyer following the Closing and not counted as part of the Inventory Take shall be considered inventory for purposes of the Final Working Capital; provided that inventory received by Buyer from vendors following the Closing shall not be considered inventory for purposes of the Final Working Capital.

(d)Access. For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.3, Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall, and the Company shall cause the Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with and make available to each other and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers (subject to the execution of customary confidentiality, hold harmless and similar agreements relating to the access to such working papers in form and substance reasonably and customarily acceptable to any auditors or independent

accountants), and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder; provided that such access does not (i) unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Parties’ respective businesses or (ii) based on advice of counsel (A) result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege, (B) create any liability under applicable Law or (C) violate any obligation with respect to confidentiality. If Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, or the Seller Representative, on the other hand, breach their respective obligations under this Section 2.3(d), then the dispute periods set forth in Section 2.3(c) shall automatically be extended until such breach is cured by the breaching Party (provided that a notice of breach was given by the non-breaching Party to the other Party during the applicable time period).

(e)Adjustment.

(i)If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price, then the Seller Representative and Buyer shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount of cash equal to such shortfall (plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date through the date on which such payment is made at the prime lending rate published in The Wall Street Journal and in effect on the date of payment) (the “Adjustment Shortfall”) from the Adjustment Escrow Funds to Buyer, by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer to the Seller Representative, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c). If the Adjustment Shortfall exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Funds, such excess shall be payable to Buyer by the Sellers (and the Seller Representative shall aggregate such amounts received so as to pay one (1) wire to Buyer) by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer to the Seller Representative in accordance with the proportions set forth on Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, as and when the Final Purchase Price is due and payable under this Section 2.3(e)(i).

(ii)If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers in the proportions set forth on Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, an amount in cash equal to such excess (plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date through the date on which such payment is made at the prime lending rate published in The Wall Street Journal and in effect on the date of payment). With respect to the Stockholders, the Non-Employee Optionholders and the Warrantholder, such amounts shall be paid by Buyer within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c) by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the Seller Representative to Buyer. With respect to the Employee Optionholders, such amounts shall be paid by Buyer to the Company within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c), and the Company shall, in turn, pay such amounts, less applicable Tax withholding amounts, to the applicable Employee Optionholder (and such applicable Tax withholding amounts to the applicable Taxing Authority when due and payable) as promptly as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s next regularly scheduled payroll payment date following the date on which the Company receives such amounts from Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.3(e), in such form of payment (whether by wire transfer, check or otherwise) as is typically made by the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s then-current payroll system to such Employee Optionholders.

(iii)If the Final Purchase Price is equal to the Purchase Price, then there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.3(e).

(f)Within five (5) Business Days following the adjustment under Section 2.3(e) the Buyer and Seller Representative shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release all Adjustment Escrow Funds that remain following such adjustment under Section 2.3(e) to the

Stockholders, the Non-Employee Optionholders, Warrantholder and the Company (on behalf of the Employee Optionholders) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and in the proportions set forth on Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter. With respect to amounts from the Adjustment Escrow Funds delivered to the Company (on behalf of the Employee Optionholders), the Company shall pay such amounts, less applicable Tax withholding amounts, to the applicable Employee Optionholders (and such applicable Tax withholding amounts to the applicable Taxing Authority when due and payable), in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as promptly as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s next regularly scheduled payroll payment date following the date on which the Company receives such amounts from the Escrow Agent, in such form of payment (whether by wire transfer, check or otherwise) as is typically made by the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s then-current payroll system to such Employee Optionholders.

(g)All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(h)The Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not be responsible for any Losses arising out of, related to or resulting from any errors or omissions in the allocations of the Purchase Price provided by the Seller Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Furthermore, the Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not be responsible for any Losses arising out of, related to or resulting from any errors or omissions in the proportions set forth on Section 2.2(b)(ii) or Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses arising out of, related to or resulting from errors or omissions in the allocations of the Purchase Price (including related adjustments) provided by Seller Representative (including with respect to the determination of the Share Amount and the proportions set forth in Section 2.2(b)(ii) and Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter) pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII (including under Section 8.3(a)(i)(B)) and Article IX. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not affect Buyer’s obligation to make payment of the Purchase Price (including any adjustment) as contemplated by Section 2.2 pursuant to the terms hereof (including with respect to the allocations of the Purchase Price provided by the Seller Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2) unless and to the extent that (x) any Action has been made against any Seller, the Seller Representative, Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates that alleges that there are errors or omissions in the allocations of the Purchase Price (including related adjustments) provided by the Seller Representative (including with respect to the determination of the Share Amount and the proportions set forth in Section 2.2(b)(ii) and Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter) or (y) there is any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or final) in effect that enjoins, restrains, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits Buyer from making any such payment.

2.4Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and each of its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it may reasonably believe are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any Tax Law, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from payment any amounts (or any portion thereof) otherwise payable pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, if Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or anyone acting on their behalf believes that any withholding is required with respect to any amounts payable under this Agreement other than as compensation, such Person shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, provide the Seller Representative with notice of the intention to withhold and the opportunity for the Seller Representative to provide any statement, form, or other documentation that would eliminate the requirement to withhold. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (or the Escrow Agent) and are timely paid over to the relevant Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement (or the Escrow Agreement) as having been paid to the relevant Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b)With respect to Resilience, Buyer understands and acknowledges that: (A) (x) Resilience is a private equity investor engaged in the business of evaluating, making, and managing investments in businesses and acquiring businesses, (y) it is possible that one or more of those businesses are or may in the future be competitive with the Company and the Subsidiaries in some manner and (z) subject to and without in any way limiting the obligations of Resilience under this Agreement, including Section 7.1(a), Buyer acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement will be construed in any way to restrict Resilience from investing in or acquiring any such businesses; so long as none of Resilience or its partners or other professionals use any of such confidential information and/or proprietary information described in Section 7.1(a) of Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries in any manner that would adversely affect the business of the Company and (B) Resilience will retain certain mental impressions of the confidential information of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and accordingly, Buyer agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Resilience from pursuing such investments in the ordinary course of business, even if doing so involves the use of such mental impressions.

7.2Publicity. Except (a) as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the securities of Buyer or its Affiliates are listed or (b) for disclosure made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, no Party shall issue any initial press release or public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the

prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of, in the case of an initial press release or other public announcement by Buyer, the Seller Representative, and, in the case of an initial press release or other public announcement by the Company or any Seller, Buyer; provided, however, that after such initial press release or public announcement, either Party shall be entitled to issue any subsequent press release or make any other subsequent public announcement without obtaining such prior approvals only to the extent that the information disclosed is consistent with the scope and substance of the prior disclosures made by such Party (which for the avoidance of doubt have been approved by the other Parties). This Section 7.2 shall not restrict Buyer or any Seller from (i) issuing any “tombstone” or similar advertisement that does not state the purchase price or (ii) (x) making internal announcements to its employees or (y) reporting and disclosing to its direct or indirect equityholders, members and limited partners, in each case pursuant to a confidentiality agreement or similar confidentiality arrangement, customary summary information regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.3Records.

(a)At the Closing, the Seller Representative shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to Buyer all books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided that any such books and records that are held at the offices of the Company or any Subsidiary at the Closing shall be deemed to have been provided to Buyer.

(b)Subject to Article IX, with respect to the financial books and records and minute books of the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to matters on or prior to the Closing Date: (a) for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to cause or permit their destruction or disposal without first offering to surrender them to the Seller Representative and (b) where there is a legitimate purpose, including a claim or dispute relating to this Agreement, Buyer shall allow the Sellers and their respective representatives reasonable access to such books and records during regular business hours, upon reasonable advance written notice and at the applicable Seller’s expense, and subject to a confidentiality undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer; provided neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company) shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where, upon the advice of counsel, such access or disclosure would, or is reasonably expected to, waive the attorney-client privilege of such party or contravene any applicable Laws.

7.4Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a)For six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company to indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, all past and present directors, officers and employees of the Company and each Subsidiary to the same extent such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the Closing Date by the Company and the applicable Subsidiary pursuant to the Company’s and such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents and indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the Closing Date (which have been made available to Buyer) with, or for the benefit of, any such directors, officers and employees for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, in each case, unless any such indemnification or advancement would be expressly prohibited by Law.

(b)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have purchased a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance tail policy for six (6) years from the Closing Date with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date, providing at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable to such directors and officers than the existing policies covering such directors and officers (the “D&O Policy”).

(c)Notwithstanding Section 10.4, the provisions of this Section 7.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other right to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

The Company shall have also made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Buyer to provide to Buyer recordable form lien releases such that all Liens on the assets or properties of the Company or the Subsidiaries that are not Permitted Liens shall have been or shall be satisfied, terminated and discharged on or prior to the Closing Date.

7.7Non-Solicit.

(a)For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, each of the Sellers (other than the Institutional Financial Sellers) shall not, and shall cause the Restricted Parties not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or encourage any of the Key Employees to leave such employment, or hire, employ or otherwise similarly engage any such Person; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Restricted Party from offering employment to any employee who responds to a general or public solicitation not targeted at such Person (including by a bona fide search firm or pursuant to an online advertisement on its website); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Restricted Party from offering employment and hiring any such employee responding to such general or public solicitation whose employment has been terminated by the Company or any Subsidiary without cause (so long as any such employee has not otherwise been solicited in violation of this Section 7.7(a)).

(b)For a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, each of the Sellers (other than the Institutional Financial Sellers) shall not and shall cause the Restricted Parties not to seek business from any Customer, divert business from any Customer to any Person or be paid commission based on business sales received from any Company by any Person, in each case solely with respect to the Restricted Business. For purposes of this Section 7.7(b), “Customer” means any Person to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries provided products or services during the 24-month period prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 7.7(b), “Restricted Business” means the design, development, manufacture, marketing and sales of terrestrial satellite, air traffic control radar, weather radar and direction-finding antennas and related antenna control subsystems.

7.8Indemnity Policy. Following the Closing, the Sellers shall provide, and/or cause its Affiliates to provide, such reasonable cooperation (at Buyer’s cost to the extent such claim (or portion thereof) is solely against the Indemnity Policy) to Buyer, the applicable insurance provider and the Company in connection with pursuing any claims under the Indemnity Policy as may be requested by Buyer, the applicable insurance provider or the Company. Buyer Indemnitees, in their sole discretion, shall have the right to determine whether to bring a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund (to the extent there are funds remaining therein) or the Indemnity Policy; provided, however, that in the event that any amounts are recovered under the Indemnity Policy following a payment for such Losses from the Indemnity Escrow Funds, Buyer shall cause such amount recovered under the Indemnity Policy (but only up to the amount withdrawn from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in respect of such Loss) to be deposited into the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(i)by each Seller jointly and severally up to and to the extent of the amounts drawn from the Indemnity Escrow Funds and thereafter each Seller severally and not jointly shall be solely responsible (with respect to breaches of such Seller) for any Losses exceeding the Indemnity Escrow Funds, from and against any Loss incurred or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnitees following the Closing arising out of, relating to or as a result of (A) any breach of, inaccuracy in or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty of such Seller contained in Article V of this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter and Exhibits attached hereto and the certificates delivered pursuant hereto) or (B) any breach of any covenant or agreement of such Seller contained in this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter and Exhibits attached hereto and the certificates delivered pursuant hereto);

under the Credit Facility, and (b) the termination and/or repayment of the outstanding amounts and obligations under the Owemanco Mortgage Commitment; and

provided that (x) no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Loss with respect to any claim under Section 8.3(a)(i)(A) and 8.3(a)(ii)(A) until the aggregate of the Buyer Indemnitees’ claims for Losses under Section 8.3(a)(i)(A) and 8.3(a)(ii)(A) exceeds the Threshold, it being understood that if such Losses exceed the Threshold, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover all Buyer Indemnitees’ Losses, including from the first dollar, (y) the aggregate liability under Sections 8.3(a)(i)(A) and Section 8.3(a)(ii)(A) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Funds and (z) the aggregate liability under Section 8.3(a)(iii) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds; provided that the limitations set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above shall not apply to any Losses arising under Section 8.3(a)(i)(B), Section 8.3(a)(ii)(B), Section 8.3(a)(iv), Section 8.3(a)(v) or from a breach of the Sellers Fundamental Representations or the Company Fundamental Representations; provided, further that (I) the aggregate liability of Sellers under this Section 8.3 shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price Cap and (II) no Seller shall have any liability under this Section 8.3 in an amount in excess of (i) the proceeds actually received by such Seller under this Agreement plus (ii) such Seller’s pro rata share of any payments made out of the Escrow Funds to Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnitee under this Article VIII, Article IX and Section 2.3(e).

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary for purposes of determining whether there has been any breach of, inaccuracy in or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty and the amount of any Loss under Section 8.3(a)(i)(A) and Section 8.3(a)(ii)(A), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers contained in Article IV and Article V of this Agreement shall be considered without giving effect to any materiality limitation or qualification (including the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”).

8.4Exclusive Remedy. As between the Parties and any Indemnitee and Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII (and the Indemnity Policy) are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses any Party (except with respect to the Sellers’ obligations to the Seller Representative set forth in Section 10.1 and with respect to any breach of or failure to comply with Section 7.1 or Section 7.7) may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, except (a) in the event of fraud that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be intentional fraud or fraud perpetrated with the intent to deceive (“Intentional Fraud”), (b) with respect to covenants that by their respective terms anticipate performance following the Closing Date, (c) as otherwise expressly provided in any ancillary agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (d) with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other non-monetary equitable remedies are available, and each Party hereby waives, to the full extent they may do so, any other rights or remedies that may arise under any applicable Law (including under any Environmental Laws) and hereby covenants that it shall refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Action of any kind against any Person based on any matter waived hereby. With respect to any claims for Losses pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i)(A) and Section 8.3(a)(ii)(A), without limiting any of the other provisions of this Article VIII or Article IX, no such claim may be made directly against any Seller unless and until the Indemnity Escrow Funds and the Indemnity Policy have been fully exhausted. With respect to any claims for Losses related to the matters described in Section 8.3(a)(iii), Buyer’s sole recourse shall be the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds. Each Seller’s liability pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) shall be several and not joint in accordance with such Seller’s pro rata share of the Purchase Price Cap (other than with respect to amounts drawn from the Indemnity Escrow Funds). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any claims arising under Section 8.3(a)(i)(B) against a particular Seller, the Buyer Indemnitees shall have the right to make a claim against such Seller directly to the extent that the available Indemnity Escrow Funds are insufficient to satisfy such claim. In no event shall any Seller have any liability under this Agreement, in the aggregate, for more than (i) the proceeds actually received by such Seller under this Agreement plus (ii) such Seller’s pro rata share of any payments made out of the Escrow Funds to Buyer

or any other Buyer Indemnitee under this Article VIII, Article IX and Section 2.3(e); and no Seller shall be liable for the breach of another Seller (other than with respect to amounts drawn from the Escrow Funds). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall not prevent or limit a cause of action under Section 8.8 to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall limit Buyer’s right to take any action with respect to, or make any claim under, the Indemnity Policy. Further, the Sellers agree and acknowledge that Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee may provide a Claims Notice pursuant to this Article VIII and concurrently therewith against the Indemnity Policy, for purposes of satisfying the retention or similar thresholds under the Indemnity Policy and provision of any such claims thereunder shall in no way limit Buyer’s right to indemnification against the Sellers or the Indemnity Escrow Funds or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds pursuant to the other provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX.

8.5Limitations on Indemnification Payments to Seller Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 8.2), the right of the Seller Indemnitees to indemnification is limited as follows:

(a)Except with respect to Taxes and indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(ii), the Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to assert any claims for Losses with respect to any individual item or matter, or items or matters arising out of substantially similar facts and circumstances, unless the amount of Losses with respect to such items or matters exceeds $10,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”), it being understood that if such Losses do not exceed the De Minimis Amount, such Losses shall not be applied or considered for purposes of satisfying the Threshold.

(b)The Seller Indemnitees’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 on account of any Losses shall be reduced by all insurance or other third party indemnification proceeds actually received by the Seller Indemnitees (net of costs and expenses incurred in obtaining any such payment); provided that the amount deemed to be recovered under insurance policies will also be net of the deductible for such policies and any increase in the premium (and retro-premium adjustments) for such policies to the extent arising out of or in connection with such Losses. The Seller Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim and recover any Losses suffered by the Seller Indemnitees under all such applicable insurance policies and other third party indemnities, but in no event shall recovery under such policies or from a third party be a condition to, or be a reason for delay of, payment of any indemnification obligation by Buyer hereunder. The Seller Indemnitees shall promptly remit to Buyer any such insurance or other third party proceeds that are paid to the Seller Indemnitees with respect to Losses for which the Seller Indemnitees have been previously compensated pursuant to Section 8.2.

(c)The Seller Indemnitees’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 on account of any Losses shall be reduced by any net Tax benefit recognized by the Seller Indemnitees by reason of such Loss in the tax year such Loss is paid or incurred and the next two (2) succeeding tax years, and which net Tax benefit results in an actual reduction in cash Taxes paid, determined on a “with and without” basis.

(d)The Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 for exemplary damages, punitive damages, special damages or consequential damages (to the extent such consequential damages are not reasonably expected to result from the breach in question), except to the extent such Losses arise from a third party claim.

(e)No Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to be compensated more than once for Losses resulting from a single or series of related claims.

8.6Limitations on Indemnification Payments to Buyer Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 8.3), the right of the Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification is limited as follows:

(a)Except with respect to Taxes and indemnification under Section 8.3(a)(i)(B), Section 8.3(a)(ii)(B) and Section 8.3(a)(iii) the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to assert any claims for Losses with respect to any individual item or matter, or items or matters arising out of substantially similar facts and circumstances, unless the amount of Losses with respect to such items or matters exceeds the De Minimis Amount, it being understood that if such Losses do not exceed the De Minimis Amount, such Losses shall not be applied or considered for purposes of satisfying the Threshold.

(b)The Buyer Indemnitees’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 on account of any Losses shall be reduced by all insurance or other third party indemnification proceeds actually received by the Buyer Indemnitees (net of costs and expenses incurred in obtaining any such payment); provided that the amount deemed to be recovered under insurance policies will also be net of the deductible for such policies and any increase in the premium (and retro-premium adjustments) for such policies to the extent arising out of or in connection with such Losses. The Buyer Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim and recover any Losses suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees under all such applicable insurance policies and other third party indemnities, but in no event shall recovery under such policies or from a third party be a condition to, or be a reason for delay of, payment of any indemnification obligation by Buyer hereunder (the Sellers acknowledge that the Indemnity Policy contains a retention amount and, while a Buyer Indemnitee may make a claim against the Indemnity Policy, it may have no right of recovery thereunder until the applicable retention amount has been satisfied, and no such claim under the Indemnity Policy that counts towards the retained amount (but does not result in a payment to a Buyer Indemnitee under the Indemnity Policy) shall be considered recovery of such Loss hereunder and a claim may be submitted against the Indemnity Escrow Funds for such amount). The Buyer Indemnitees shall promptly remit to the Seller Representative for the benefit of the Sellers any such insurance or other third party proceeds that are paid to the Buyer Indemnitees with respect to Losses for which the Buyer Indemnitees have been previously compensated pursuant to Section 8.3.

(c)The Buyer Indemnitees’ right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 on account of any Losses shall be reduced by any net Tax benefit recognized by the Buyer Indemnitees by reason of such Loss in the tax year such Loss is paid or incurred and the next two (2) succeeding tax years, and which net Tax benefit results in an actual reduction in cash Taxes paid, determined on a “with and without” basis.

(d)The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.3 for exemplary damages, punitive damages, special damages or consequential damages (to the extent such consequential damages are not reasonably expected to result from the breach in question), except to the extent such Losses arise from a third party claim (for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes and Losses with respect thereto shall not be considered exemplary, punitive, special or consequential damages for these purposes).

(e)The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.3 for a Loss to the extent that any Buyer Indemnitee has been compensated for such Loss pursuant to Section 2.3; provided that such Loss is specifically identifiable as, or as a component of, any liability that is taken into account in the Final Closing Statement; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not preclude Buyer Indemnitees from indemnification for Losses related to the same matter or item in excess of such amounts so taken into account in the Final Closing Statement.

(f)No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to be compensated more than once for Losses resulting from a single or series of related claims.

(g)The Buyer Indemnitees shall not have the right to indemnification under this Agreement for any Losses to the extent such Losses are based on Taxes: (i) other than with respect to any breach of Section 4.6(b), (c), (j), (l), (n), (o) and (p), attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date; (ii) that are due to the unavailability in any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, or other Tax attribute from a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) resulting from transactions or actions taken by Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates on the Closing Date after the

Closing that are not contemplated by this Agreement and are outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (iv) that result from Buyer’s breach of any of the covenants contained in Article IX, except to the extent caused by any Seller or any of its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the filing of the Voluntary Disclosure Agreements shall not in any event preclude any Buyer Indemnitee from seeking and obtaining indemnification (x) solely from the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds for any sales Taxes (or similar Taxes) described in clause (h) of the definition of Pre-Closing Taxes that may arise or be attributable or be payable in connection with such filings or (y) other than from the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds for any Pre-Closing Taxes and Losses related thereto that are not described in clause (h) of the definition of Pre-Closing Taxes.

8.7Procedures.

(a)Notice of Losses by Seller Indemnitee. As soon as reasonably practicable after a Seller Indemnitee has actual knowledge, based on a good faith belief, of any claim that it has under this Article VIII that may result in a Loss (a “Claim”) or otherwise actually becomes aware of any Losses that may be subject to indemnification hereunder, the Seller Representative shall give written notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to Buyer. A Claims Notice must describe the facts and circumstances pertaining to the Claim in reasonable detail and the basis for the Seller Indemnitee’s right to indemnification and indicate the amount (estimated, as necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the applicable Seller Indemnitee. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Seller Representative to Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.7(a) will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that the Seller Representative has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve Buyer of its obligation to indemnify the applicable Seller Indemnitee, except to the extent that Buyer is materially prejudiced thereby. The Seller Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Seller Indemnitee relating to such third party claim. Buyer shall respond to the Seller Representative (a “Claim Response”) within thirty (30) days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Claims Notice is sent by the Seller Representative. Any Claim Response must specify whether or not Buyer disputes the Claim described in the Claims Notice. If Buyer fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, then Buyer shall be deemed not to dispute the Claim described in the related Claims Notice. If Buyer elects not to dispute a Claim described in a Claims Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then the amount of Losses alleged in such Claims Notice shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of Buyer, and Buyer shall pay, in cash, to the Seller Representative within fifteen (15) days after the last day of the applicable Response Period the amount specified in the Claims Notice. If Buyer delivers a Claim Response within the Response Period indicating that it disputes one or more of the matters identified in the Claims Notice, then Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly meet and use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Response Period, then either Buyer or the Seller Representative may resort to other legal remedies, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII.

(b)Notice of Losses by Buyer Indemnitee.

(i)Claims with Determinable Losses. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, if any Buyer Indemnitee believes in good faith that it has a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3 (a “Buyer Claim”), the amount of which is then known, then Buyer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has actual knowledge, based on a good faith belief, of such Buyer Claim, notify the Seller Representative of such Buyer Claim by means of a written notice describing the facts and circumstances pertaining to the Buyer Claim in reasonable detail and the basis for the Buyer Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, and setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Losses incurred by the applicable Buyer Indemnitee with respect thereto (a “Buyer Claim Notice” and, together with a Claims Notice, a “Notice”). The failure by Buyer to promptly deliver a Buyer Claim Notice under this Section 8.7(b)(i) shall not adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that Buyer has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Seller Representative or any of the Sellers of its obligation to indemnify the applicable Buyer

Indemnitee, except to the extent the Seller Representative or any of the Sellers are materially and actually prejudiced thereby. If, by the thirtieth (30^th) day following receipt by the Seller Representative of a Buyer Claim Notice (the “Dispute Period”), Buyer has not received from the Seller Representative notice in writing that the Seller Representative objects to the Buyer Claim (or the amount of Losses set forth therein) asserted in such Buyer Claim Notice (a “Dispute Notice”), then the Seller Representative and Buyer shall, to the extent that there remain Indemnity Escrow Funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds in the Special Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds, as applicable, the amount of Losses specified in the Buyer Claim Notice, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII.

(ii)Claims without Determinable Losses. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, if any Buyer Indemnitee believes in good faith that it has a Buyer Claim, the amount of which cannot reasonably be determined, then Buyer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has actual knowledge, based on a good faith belief, of such Buyer Claim, notify the Seller Representative by means of a Buyer Claim Notice that contains the information required by Section 8.7(b)(i) and a good faith estimate, if possible, of Buyer’s calculation of the Losses incurred by the applicable Buyer Indemnitee with respect thereto. The failure by Buyer to promptly deliver a Buyer Claim Notice under this Section 8.7(b)(ii) shall not adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that Buyer has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Seller Representative or any of the Sellers of its obligation to indemnify the applicable Buyer Indemnitee, except to the extent the Seller Representative or any of the Sellers is materially and actually prejudiced thereby. If Buyer has not received a Dispute Notice from the Seller Representative prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Seller Representative and Buyer shall, to the extent that there remain Indemnity Escrow Funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds in the Special Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds, as applicable, the amount of Losses specified from time to time as the amount of any such Buyer Claim becomes known, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII.

(iii)Disputes. If the Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer within the Dispute Period, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly meet and use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute as to whether and to what extent the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to reimbursement on account of such Buyer Claim. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are able to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives such Dispute Notice, then the Seller Representative and Buyer shall, to the extent that there remain Indemnity Escrow Funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds in the Special Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent setting forth such agreement and instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds, as applicable, an amount in accordance with such agreement, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to reach agreement within such thirty (30) day period, then either Buyer or the Seller Representative may resort to other legal remedies, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. For all purposes of this Article VIII (including those pertaining to disputes under Section 8.7(a) and this Section 8.7(b)), Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and its respective representatives all information, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes.

(c)Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. Subject to Section 9.2, in the event of any claim by a third party against a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder, Buyer or the Seller Representative from which indemnification is sought, as applicable

(each an “Indemnifying Party”), has the right, exercisable by written notice to Buyer or the Seller Representative, as applicable, within sixty (60) days of receipt of a Notice from Buyer or the Seller Representative, as applicable, to assume and conduct the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the approval of the indemnified party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that prior to assuming such control of such third party claim, the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such third party claim to the extent provided for in this Article VIII (provided that such acknowledgment shall not be an admission to the plaintiff in the Action to the claims alleged in the third party claim or liability therefor). If the Indemnifying Party has assumed such defense as provided in this Section 8.7(c), then the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim, unless representation of both parties by the same counsel would represent a conflict of interest for such counsel under applicable standards of professional conduct for attorneys, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel (the selection of such counsel to be not unreasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party); provided that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this Section 8.7(c), then the Indemnitee may continue to defend such claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII) and the Indemnifying Party may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such third party claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense; provided that the Indemnitee shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim, shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee; (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability or obligation with respect to such claim or litigation; (iii) does not involve only the payment of money damages against which the Indemnitee is indemnified in full by the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) involves finding an admission of any violation of applicable Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnitees. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a third party claim, the Indemnitee shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in such defense. In any such third party claim, the party responsible for the defense of such claim (the “Responsible Party”) shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, keep such other Party informed as to the status of such claim, including all settlement negotiations and offers. Each Party shall (A) reasonably cooperate with the other Parties by providing records and information on a timely basis that are reasonably relevant to any third party claim, and (B) in good faith regularly consult with counsel for the other parties and include such counsel in relevant conferences and proceedings to the extent requested by such counsel; provided that neither Party shall be required to provide records or information or include the other Party in conferences and proceedings where such provision or inclusion would reasonably be likely to: (1) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or Contract entered into prior to such time (including any confidentiality agreement to which such party or any of its Affiliates is a party) or (2) result in the loss of any attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges; provided, further, that the Parties shall work together in good faith to mitigate such restrictions to allow such information to be provided to the other Party or its representatives without causing any of the consequences of the described events.

(d)Settlement. The Responsible Party shall promptly notify the other Party of each settlement offer with respect to a third party claim. Such other Party shall promptly notify the Responsible Party whether or not such Party is willing to accept the proposed settlement offer. If the Seller Representative is willing to accept the proposed settlement offer, but Buyer refuses to accept such settlement offer, then if: (i) such settlement offer requires only the payment of money damages, provides a complete release of all Indemnitees that are a party to such third party claim with respect to the subject

matter thereof and does not involve an admission of any violation of applicable Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnitee; (ii) the Seller Representative agrees in writing that the entire amount of such proposed settlement constitutes Losses that are from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds, as applicable, then available for distribution, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) the amount of such proposed settlement shall not exceed the limitations contained in this Article VIII, then the amount payable to the Indemnitees with respect to such third party claim shall be limited to the amount of such settlement offer, subject to the limitations contained in this Article VIII. The Seller Representative may nevertheless propose in writing a good faith, reasonable settlement offer that requires only the payment of money damages, provides a complete release of all Indemnitees and does not involve an admission of any violation of applicable Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnitees who are parties to such third party claim with respect to the subject matter thereof; provided, however, that (A) the Seller Representative agrees in writing that the entire amount of such proposed settlement constitutes Losses that are reimbursable from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or Special Indemnity Escrow Funds, as applicable, then available for distribution, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, and (B) the amount of any such proposed settlement offer may not exceed the limitations contained in this Article VIII. If Buyer refuses to agree to or make the proposed settlement offer to the claimant in the third party claim, then any amount payable to a Buyer Indemnitee with respect to such third party claim shall be limited to the amount of such proposed settlement offer. If any such settlement offer is made to any claimant and rejected by such claimant, then the amount payable to an Indemnitee with respect to such claim shall not be limited to the amount of such settlement offer, but shall remain subject to all other limitations set forth in this Agreement.

(e)Other Releases of Indemnity Escrow Funds. Within five (5) Business Days following the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Escrow Funds Release Date”), the Buyers and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release all Indemnity Escrow Funds held under the Escrow Agreement minus the amounts of any unresolved Buyer Claims set forth in any then pending Buyer Claim Notices (other than a Buyer Claims Notice delivered with respect to Losses arising under Section 8.3(a)(iii)) to the Stockholders, Warrantholder, Non-Employee Optionholders and the Company (on behalf of the Employee Optionholders) in the proportions set forth on Section 2.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter. With respect to amounts delivered to the Company (on behalf of the Employee Optionholders), the Company shall pay such amounts, less applicable Tax withholding amounts, to the applicable Employee Optionholders (and applicable Tax withholding amounts to applicable Taxing Authority when due and payable), in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as promptly thereafter as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s next regularly scheduled payroll payment date following the date on which the Company receives such amounts from the Escrow Agent, in such form of payment (whether by wire transfer, check or otherwise) as is typically made by the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s then-current payroll system to such Employee Optionholders. In the event there exists on the Indemnity Escrow Funds Release Date an unresolved Buyer Claim (other than a Buyer Claim relating to Losses arising under Section 8.3(a)(iii)) for which a Buyer Claim Notice was delivered prior to the Indemnity Escrow Funds Release Date, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall, following final resolution of such Buyer Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days of such final resolution) deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent, which written instruction shall direct the Escrow Agent how the Indemnity Escrow Funds subject to such Buyer Claim Notice shall be disbursed, it being acknowledged and agreed that any release of such Indemnity Escrow Funds to the Sellers shall be released as set forth in this Section 8.7(e).

(f)Other Releases of Special Indemnity Escrow Funds. Within five (5) Business Days following the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Special Indemnity Escrow Funds Release Date”), the Buyers and the Seller Representative shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release all Special Indemnity Escrow Funds held under the Escrow Agreement minus the amounts of any unresolved Buyer Claims set forth in any then pending Buyer Claim Notices delivered with respect to Losses arising under Section 8.3(a)(iii), to the Stockholders, Warrantholder, Non-Employee Optionholders and the Company (on behalf of the Employee Optionholders) in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and in the proportions set forth on Section 2.3(e) of the

Company Disclosure Letter. With respect to amounts delivered to the Company (on behalf of the Employee Optionholders), the Company shall pay such amounts, less applicable Tax withholding amounts, to the applicable Employee Optionholders (and applicable Tax withholding amounts to applicable Taxing Authority when due and payable), in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as promptly thereafter as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s next regularly scheduled payroll payment date following the date on which the Company receives such amounts from the Escrow Agent, in such form of payment (whether by wire transfer, check or otherwise) as is typically made by the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s then-current payroll system to such Employee Optionholders. In the event there exists on the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds Release Date an unresolved Buyer Claim relating to Losses arising under Section 8.3(a)(iii) for which a Buyer Claims Notice was delivered prior to the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds Release Date, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall, following final resolution of such Buyer Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days of such final resolution) deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent which written instruction shall direct the Escrow Agent how the Special Indemnity Escrow Funds subject to such Buyer Claim Notice shall be disbursed, it being acknowledged and agreed that any release of such Special Indemnity Escrow Funds to the Sellers shall be released as set forth in this Section 8.7(f).

8.8Specific Performance. Each Party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any Party should breach its covenants or agreements under this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the nonbreaching Party or Parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies they may have under the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and each Party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such Order. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise.

8.9Adjustment to Purchase Price. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price (including for all Tax purposes), unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

9.1Cooperation; Audits; Tax Returns.

(a)In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Tax liabilities imposed on or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary, Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including the furnishing or making available during normal business hours of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of such Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Taxing Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes and any assessment or reassessment in respect of Taxes; provided that, neither Party shall be required to provide records or information where such provision or inclusion would reasonably be likely to: (A) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or Contract entered into prior to such time (including any confidentiality agreement to which such Party or any of its Affiliates is a party) or (B) result in the loss of any attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to, and the Sellers shall (i) retain all books and records held by them after the Closing with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the

extent notified by the Seller Representative, any valid extension thereof) for the respective taxable periods, and (ii) give the other Parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and shall allow the other Parties to take possession of such books and records at such other Parties’ sole expense.

(b)The Seller Representative, at the expense of the Sellers, shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such Tax Returns to Buyer no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions) for Buyer’s review and comment. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company and the Subsidiaries. Buyer shall provide any written comments to the Seller Representative with respect to such Tax Returns not later than ten (10) days after receiving any such Tax Return and, if Buyer does not provide any written comments within ten (10) days, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to such Tax Return. If the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least ten (10) days before the filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution and the fees shall be shared one-half by the Sellers and one-half by Buyer. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, (i) none of Buyer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates shall elect to waive any carryback of net operating losses under Section 172(b)(3) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) on any Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date in respect of losses incurred in any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) the Company and the Subsidiaries shall report and deduct the Tax Deductions on Tax Returns for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; and (iii) as part of the Tax Returns of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall cooperate and file or cause to be filed, if applicable, IRS Form 4466 (Corporation Application for Quick Refund of Overpayment of Estimated Tax) in respect of any taxable year ending on the Closing Date, IRS Form 8302 (Electronic Deposit of Tax Refund of $1 Million or More) or IRS Form 1139 (Corporation Application for Tentative Refund) for any eligible carryback periods to the extent that such Tax Returns are prepared by the Seller Representative in accordance with this Section 9.1(b). The Seller Representative will timely pay over to Buyer in full all amounts shown as owing on any such Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Buyer agrees to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date, but after the Closing, on Buyer’s federal income Tax Return (or the federal income Tax Return of the parent company of the consolidated tax group of which Buyer is a member) to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).

(c)Buyer, at its own expense, shall timely prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary for any Tax year that includes but does not end on the Closing Date and shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such Tax Returns to the Seller Representative no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions) for the Seller Representative’s review and comment. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company and the Subsidiaries to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Seller Representative shall provide any written comments to Buyer with respect to such Tax Returns not later than ten (10) days after receiving any such Tax Return and, if the Seller Representative does not provide any written comments within ten (10) days, the Seller Representative shall be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to such Tax Return. If the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute at least ten (10) days before the filing deadline (taking into account applicable extensions) for any such Tax Return, the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution and the fees shall be shared one-half by the Sellers and one-half by Buyer.

9.2Controversies. Notwithstanding Section 8.7(c), this Section 9.2 shall control any inquiries, assessments, proceedings or similar events with respect to Taxes. Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller

Representative (a) upon receipt by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer of any notice of any Tax Matter from any Taxing Authority or (b) prior to Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary initiating any Tax Matter with any Taxing Authority. The Seller Representative may, at the Sellers’ expense, participate in and, upon written notice to Buyer, assume the defense of any such Tax Matter; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice with respect to the first sentence of this Section 9.2 shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification under Section 8.3 except to the extent the Sellers’ defense of such matter is demonstrably prejudiced by such failure. If the Seller Representative assumes such defense, then the Seller Representative shall have the authority, with respect to any Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Company and the Subsidiaries before the relevant Taxing Authority and the Seller Representative shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. Except with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Seller Representative, in the defense of any such Tax Matter, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting, or that results in criminal charges against, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Company or any Subsidiary). Buyer shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Tax Matter and to employ counsel, solely at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter to the extent that it adversely affects Buyer, the Company, the Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the foregoing for a Post-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Seller Representative shall keep Buyer informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter and will, in good faith, allow Buyer to consult with the Seller Representative regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such Tax Matter. If the Seller Representative does not assume such defense, then Buyer shall have the authority, with respect to any Tax Matter, to represent the interests of the Company and the Subsidiaries before the relevant Taxing Authority and Buyer shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Tax Matter, subject to the limitations contained herein, including responding to inquiries, and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter. Buyer shall keep the Seller Representative informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter and will, in good faith, allow the Seller Representative to consult with Buyer regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such Tax Matter. The Seller Representative shall promptly notify Buyer upon receipt by any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller of any notice from any Taxing Authority of any inquiry, audit, examination, contest, litigation, investigation, assessment, reassessment or any other proceeding or similar event with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, Buyer shall have the sole control of any inquiry, audit, examination, contest, litigation, investigation, assessment, reassessment or any other proceeding or similar event with respect to Taxes of or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary.

9.3Amendment of Tax Returns. Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.4Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid equally by the Sellers and the Buyer when due, and all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by the Sellers unless Buyer is required to file such Tax Returns under applicable Law.

9.5Refunds and Credits. Any Tax refund received by Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates), and any amounts credited against any Tax to which Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall become entitled, which refund or credit is in respect of Taxes paid for taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, shall be for the account of the Sellers, and Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Sellers in the proportions set forth on Section 2.3(e) of the

Company Disclosure Letter, an amount equal to such refund or credit (net of any Taxes paid or incurred with respect to the receipt or use thereof). With respect to the Stockholders and Non-Employee Optionholders, such net amounts shall be paid by Buyer within five (5) Business Days after receipt or utilization thereof by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the Seller Representative to Buyer. With respect to the Employee Optionholders, such net amounts shall be paid by Buyer to the Company within five (5) Business Days after receipt or utilization thereof, and the Company shall, in turn, pay such amounts, less applicable tax withholding amounts, to the applicable Employee Optionholder (and applicable tax withholding amounts to applicable Taxing Authority when due and payable) as promptly thereafter as practicable, but in no event later than the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s next regularly scheduled payroll payment date following the date on which the Company receives such net amounts from Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.5, in such form of payment (whether by wire transfer, check or otherwise) as is typically made by the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s then-current payroll system to such Employee Optionholders. For the avoidance of doubt, none of Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be obligated to pay to Sellers any amount of any “net operating loss” (within the meaning of Section 172(c) of the Code or corresponding section of the ITA), capital loss or other Tax attribute of the Company or any Subsidiary existing on the Closing Date that the Company or the Subsidiaries are not able to utilize to offset taxable income in any taxable year or period (or portion thereof) of the Company and the Subsidiaries ending on or before the Closing Date.

9.6Computation of Tax Liabilities. To the extent permitted or required by Law or administrative practice, the taxable year of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries which includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date. Where it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to apportion between the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, the Taxes of or with respect to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period (which is not treated under the immediately preceding sentence as closing on the Closing Date), such liability shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end at the close of the Closing Date, and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that Taxes (such as real or personal property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis, and income Tax deductions, credits or other items calculated solely on an annual basis, shall be allocated on a daily basis.

9.7Consolidated Income Tax Return. Buyer shall elect, or cause one of its Affiliates to elect, to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company that, at the end of day on the Closing Date, are members of the United States consolidated group of which the Company is the common parent (such Subsidiaries, the “Consolidated Subsidiaries”) for the taxable year of Buyer or its Affiliates that includes the day after the Closing Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) the taxable year of the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries shall close for United States federal income tax purposes at the end of the day on the Closing Date, (ii) to the extent applicable Law in other taxing jurisdictions so permits, the taxable year of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall close at the end of the day on the Closing Date, and (iii) all United States federal, state, local and non-United States income Tax Returns shall be filed consistently on the foregoing basis.

9.8Voluntary Disclosure Agreements.

(a)Following the Closing, Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries, may at Buyer’s election and in its sole discretion, file voluntary disclosure agreements or similar agreements, arrangements or understandings with applicable Taxing Authorities in respect of unfiled sales Tax (or similar Tax) Returns or unpaid sales Taxes (or similar Taxes) for applicable Tax periods in any jurisdiction in which employees of the Company or the Subsidiaries have traveled to states in which neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has filed sales Tax (or similar Tax) Returns nor paid sales Taxes (or similar Taxes) (each, a “Voluntary Disclosure Agreement”).

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, after the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company and each Subsidiary) shall have sole control of any Voluntary Disclosure Agreements or similar agreements, arrangements or understandings described in this Section 9.8; provided, however, that Buyer shall keep the Seller

Representative informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any of the foregoing and will, in good faith, allow the Seller Representative to consult with Buyer regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such Voluntary Disclosure Agreement or similar agreement, arrangement or understanding.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

10.1Seller Representative.

(a)Resilience is hereby constituted and appointed by the Sellers as agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the other Sellers and is the Seller Representative for all purposes under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Seller and his, her or its successors and assigns, to (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by the Sellers in connection herewith, including the Escrow Agreement, and to agree to such amendment, modifications or changes thereto as the Seller Representative in its sole discretion determines to be desirable, (ii) execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Escrow Agreement, (iii) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, (iv) agree to, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises of, and assume the defense of, claims, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, (v) give and receive notices and communications, (vi) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers in connection with this Agreement, (vii) make any determinations and settle any matters in connection with the adjustments to the Purchase Price in Section 2.3, (viii) authorize (in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement) delivery to Buyer and to any Buyer Indemnitee of the Escrow Funds or any portion thereof in satisfaction of claims, (ix) distribute (in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement) the Escrow Funds and any earning proceeds thereon and (x) deduct, hold back or redirect any funds, including the Escrow Agreement and the Holdback Amount, which may be payable to any Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith in order to pay, or establish a reserve for, (A) any amount that may be payable by such Seller hereunder or (B) any costs, fees, expenses and other liabilities incurred by the Seller Representative (in its capacity as such) in connection with this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder.

(b)Such agency may be changed by Resilience from time to time upon not less than five (5) days’ prior written notice to Buyer. The Seller Representative, or any successor hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by written notice to Buyer; provided that such resignation shall only be effective upon the appointment of a successor Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) and the assumption by it of the Seller Representative’s obligations under this Agreement. A successor Seller Representative shall be named by Resilience. All power, authority, rights and privileges conferred in this Agreement to Resilience as the Seller Representative shall apply to any successor Seller Representative.

(c)The Seller Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted under this Agreement as the Seller Representative while acting in good faith, and any act taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. Buyer agrees that it shall not look to the personal assets of the Seller Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Company (pre-Closing) or the Sellers. In performing any of its duties under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, the Seller Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any Losses that any Person may incur as a result of any act, or failure to act, by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or any

agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, and the Seller Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers for all Losses, except to the extent that the actions or omissions of the Seller Representative were taken or omitted not in good faith. The limitation of liability provisions of this Section 10.1(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Seller Representative. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in no event shall the Seller Representative be relieved of any liability in the case of (i) fraud by the Seller Representative, (ii) an act of bad faith by the Seller Representative giving rise to, or a willful and intentional, breach by the Seller Representative of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) a breach by the Seller Representative of its obligations pursuant to Section 2.3(e)(i) (in which case Buyer shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity against the Seller Representative and the Sellers).

(d)A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative, including an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.8, shall constitute a decision of all of the Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers. The Escrow Agent, Buyer and, following the Closing, the Company shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers. Neither Buyer nor, following the Closing, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries shall have any liability to any of the Sellers for any failure by the Seller Representative to deliver amounts paid to the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers in accordance with this Agreement or any acts or omission taken or not taken by any other Persons at the direction of the Seller Representative.

(e)Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Representative shall be entitled to, and shall retain, in an account the Holdback Account the Holdback Amount, which represents the amount of cash set aside from the Purchase Price proceeds pursuant to Article II for the payment of any (a) costs, fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and its obligations hereunder and thereunder and (b) other amounts or obligations of the Sellers as agreed upon by the Sellers, to be held by the Seller Representative in the Holdback Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(f)The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Seller, and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.2Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting, broker, finder or investment banker fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are, in the case of the Company and Sellers, to be treated as Selling Expenses to the extent unpaid as of the Closing, and, in the case of Buyer, paid by Buyer.

10.3Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but is not assignable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that Buyer may assign its rights or delegate its obligations in this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the express prior written consent of the other Parties, (a) to one or more Affiliates of Buyer, (b) to any Persons in connection with the transfer or sale of substantially all the Company’s or any of the Subsidiaries’ assets or capital stock and (c) to the Company; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.

10.4No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 7.4 and Article VIII, which are intended to benefit, and be enforceable by, the Persons specified therein, this Agreement and the Exhibits and Disclosure Letters hereto are not intended to confer on or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision hereof.

10.5Further Assurances. Each of the Parties shall, from time to time at the request of another Party, without any additional consideration, furnish such requesting Party such further information or assurances, execute

and deliver such further documents, conveyances and instruments and take such further actions and do such other things as may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and any ancillary agreements and to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including to vest in Buyer good and valid title to the Shares. Each Party shall cooperate affirmatively with the other Parties, to the extent reasonably requested by such other Parties, to enforce all rights and obligations herein provided.

10.7Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

10.8Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Seller Representative (on behalf of itself and the Sellers) and Buyer. At any time, the Seller Representative or Buyer may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Parties; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and applicable Law. Any agreement to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers if the Sellers are making the waiver, or Buyer, if Buyer is making the waiver. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

10.9Optionholder Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payment of any amounts contemplated by this Agreement shall be made to any Optionholder, in his or her capacity as such, after the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and such amounts remaining after the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date shall be distributed to the Stockholders, on a pro-rata basis based on his, her or its fully diluted ownership compared with all Stockholders.

10.10Legal Representation. Buyer further agrees that, as to all pre-Closing confidential and privileged communications between and among outside legal counsel for the Sellers, the Company, any Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates engaged for the purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby (including Xxxxx Day), on the one hand, and Resilience, the Sellers, the Company, the Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, that relate directly to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), the attorney-client privilege with respect thereto and the expectation of client confidence with respect to the Privileged Communications belongs to the Sellers and may be controlled by the Sellers and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its respective subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries). The Privileged Communications are the property of the Sellers and, from and after the Closing, none of Buyer, its subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries) or any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer or such subsidiaries will seek to obtain the Privileged Communications, whether by seeking a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or through other means. Buyer, and its respective subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries), together with any of their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns, further agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, subsidiaries, successors or assigns from using or from the expectation of attorney-client privilege with respect to, any such communication in any other matter or for a matter not involving any Action between Buyer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates, on the other hand. The Privileged Communications may be used by the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with any dispute that relates to the transactions contemplated by or in connection with this Agreement, including in any claim for indemnification brought by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or any of its respective subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of its Affiliates) after the Closing, Buyer and its subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by counsel to such third party; provided that neither Buyer nor its subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries) may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Section 10.10 shall restrict, limit or prescribe any rights that Buyer, its Affiliates or its subsidiaries may have with respect to the legal production of witnesses or information in connection with any Action that may otherwise be permitted or granted by Law or the rules of any particular Governmental Authority and (ii) Buyer, neither on behalf of itself, its Affiliates or its subsidiaries, acknowledges that any such information or communications are by their nature privileged, if such information or communication would not otherwise be recognized as privileged under applicable Law or the rules of an applicable Governmental Authority.

10.11Governing Law. This Agreement (and all Actions that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiations, execution of performance hereof) is to be governed by, interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its rules of conflict of laws.

10.12Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and waive, and shall not assert, any defense in any Action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, that they are not subject to the courts’ jurisdiction or that the Action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts or that their respective property is exempt or immune from execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the Action is improper. Service of process with respect thereto may be made upon the Parties by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to that party at the applicable address provided in Section 10.6.

10.13Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.13.

10.14Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid or unenforceable then such term, provision, covenant or restrictions shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the Seller Representative and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the end that the transactions contemplated hereunder are fulfilled in accordance with the terms hereof to the greatest extent possible.

10.15Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, then this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) all references to the preamble, recitals, Sections, Articles, Exhibits or Disclosure Letters are to the preamble, recitals, Sections, Articles, Exhibits or Disclosure Letters of or to this Agreement; (c) the words “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or paragraph hereof; (d) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa; (e) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (f) the words “include,” “including” and “or” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration; (g) all references to “$” or dollar amounts are to lawful currency of the United States of America, unless otherwise provided; (h) any document or item will be deemed “provided” or “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement if such document or item, prior to 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the day immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, is included in the electronic data room operated by PB&W under the title “Project Aztec” and made available to Buyer and its representatives and continues to be so available through the Closing Date; (i) the term “ordinary course of business” when used in reference to Buyer, the Sellers, the Company and any Subsidiary shall mean the ordinary course of business of such Person consistent with past practice; and (j) with

respect to the determination of any period of time, unless otherwise set forth herein, “from” means “from and including” and “to” means “to but excluding,” and, if the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

10.16Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including in Adobe PDF format or other similar format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

10.17Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Disclosure Letters and Exhibits hereto and the other documents delivered by the Parties in connection herewith, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, contain the complete agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect thereto.
