THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 28, 2020 by and among The Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health, L.L.C., an Arkansas limited liability company (the “Company”), Montrose Planning & Permitting, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), Montrose Environmental Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), CTEH Holdings, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability (the “Seller”), and, solely for purposes of Article XI, the Seller Indemnifying Members.

RECITALS:

A.	The Seller owns and controls 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company (the “Interests”).

B.	Seller wishes to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser wishes to purchase from Seller, the Interests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

C.	Prior to the Closing, Seller shall contribute the Other Seller Subsidiaries to the Company (the “Reorganization”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix A attached hereto.

ARTICLE II

AUTHORIZATION; PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING

2.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Seller, all right, title and interest in and to the Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances.

2.2 Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement, the aggregate amount to be paid for the Interests shall be Two Hundred Million Dollars and No Cents ($200,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”), of which One Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars and No Cents ($175,000,000) shall be payable at the Closing in cash in accordance with Section 2.4 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), subject to adjustments set forth in Section 2.4(a)(ii), and Twenty-Five Million Dollars and No Cents ($25,000,000) shall be paid in shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.4 (the “Stock Consideration”). The Cash Purchase Price and Stock Consideration shall be adjusted at Closing based on the Issuance Price in order to avoid the issuance of fractional shares, with the sum being equal to the Purchase Price.

2.3 Preliminary Closing Statement. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the Preliminary Closing Statement.

2.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)

On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall:

(i)

pay, repay or cause to be repaid the Closing Date Indebtedness and Closing Date Expenses, each as set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement and the applicable Payoff Letters and invoices;

(ii)

pay or cause to be paid to the Seller an aggregate cash amount equal to the Estimated Cash Purchase Price minus the Escrow Cash minus the USVI Tax Escrow (the resulting amount, the “Closing Date Payment”);

(iii)

cause to be issued in the name of the Seller a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Section 2.5, constituting the Non-Escrow Stock;

(iv)

deposit a portion of the Stock Consideration equal to an aggregate amount of Fifteen Million Dollars and No Cents ($15,000,000.00) (the “Escrow Stock”, with the remaining portion of the Stock Consideration being referred to herein as the “Non-Escrow Stock”) with the SunTrust Bank, a Georgia banking corporation (the “Escrow Agent”) to hold in escrow in accordance with Section 2.6 and the Escrow Agreement;

(v)

deposit Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($900,000) (the “Escrow Cash”) with the Escrow Agent to hold in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; and

(vi)

deposit One Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($124,000) (the “USVI Tax Escrow”) with the Escrow Agent to hold in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) All cash payments required under this Section 2.4 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the Person to which the applicable payment is due.

(c) Upon payment to the Seller of any amounts required to be paid to the Seller or Escrow Agent under this Section 2.4 or any other provision of this Agreement, such payment will be deemed to have been delivered to the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall be relieved of all liability for such amounts once such payments have been delivered to the Seller or Escrow Agent (as applicable).

2.5 Issuance of Parent Common Stock.

(a) The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(iii)–(iv) above shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and the value of the Stock Consideration shall be rounded down to reflect the issuance of a whole number of shares and any remaining cash balance for fractional shares not issued shall be paid in cash in lieu of Parent Common Stock to the Seller.

(b) For all purposes under this Agreement, each share of Parent Common Stock issued at Closing shall be deemed to have a value of Thirty-One Dollars and Sixty Cents ($31.60) per share (the determined value of a share of the Parent Common Stock at Closing, the “Issuance Price”).

(c) For purposes of any Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the payment of the 2020 Earnout Amount to the extent earned, each share of Parent Common Stock issued shall be deemed to have the following value:

(i)

If payment of the 2020 Earnout Amount occurs prior to Parent consummating an IPO, the value of each share of Parent Common Stock issued as part of the 2020 Earnout Amount shall be equal to the most recent valuation determined by a third-party valuation company engaged by Parent, prepared on a consistent basis with prior valuations of Parent Common Stock and taking into account the acquisition of the Company; provided, if Seller provides written notice to Purchaser that it disagrees with such valuation within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such valuation to Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree upon an independent third party valuation firm to determine the value of a share of Parent Common Stock, and the EBITDA and financial contribution of the Company included in the valuation of the Parent Common Stock shall be the lesser of (x) the Company’s actual 2020 EBITDA or (y) $22,466,667, and the determination of such third-party valuation company shall be final and biding upon the parties, and the fees, costs and expenses of such third-party valuation company shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Seller;

(ii)

If payment of the 2020 Earnout Amount occurs following consummation of an IPO of Parent, the value of each share of Parent Common Stock shall be equal to the average of the daily volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or the exchange on which the shares of Parent Common Stock are then listed) (the “Volume Weighted Average Price”) for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of valuation.

(d) At the Closing, pursuant to Section 9.2(c), Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser executed joinders to each of Parent’s Investor Rights Agreement, Voting and Drag-Along Agreement, Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, including all amendments thereto (collectively, the “Stockholder Agreements” and each, a “Stockholder Agreement”).

2.6 Escrow Amount.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Stock, Escrow Cash and USVI Tax Escrow in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement, by and among the Parent, the Seller, and the Escrow Agent, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.6 (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Stock and Escrow Cash shall remain in escrow following the Closing to cover any indemnification claims in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Section 11.7 hereof. The USVI Tax Escrow shall remain in escrow following the Closing to cover any indemnification claim related to USVI Exposure.

(b) The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Escrow Stock shall be released as follows (each date of escrow release, an “Escrow Release Date”) and the value of each share of Parent Common Stock for purposes of this Section 2.6(b) equal to the Issuance Price:

(i)

twenty-five percent (25%) of the Escrow Stock then remaining in escrow less a number of shares of Parent Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of any outstanding claims will be released to Seller on the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Escrow Release Date”);

(ii)

thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33%) of the Escrow Stock then remaining in escrow less a number of shares of Parent Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of any outstanding claims will be released to Seller on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date;

(iii)

fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Stock then remaining in escrow less a number of shares of Parent Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of any outstanding claims will be released to Seller on the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date; and

(iv)

any Escrow Stock then remaining in escrow less a number of shares of Parent Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of any outstanding claims will be released to Seller on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Escrow Release Date”.

2.7 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a written statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) that shall include and set forth (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Measurement Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a calculation of the actual (A) Net

Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (B) Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Closing Indebtedness”), (C) Cash (the “Closing Cash”), and (D) Closing Date Expenses (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”) (with Closing Transaction Expenses determined as of immediately prior to the Closing and each of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Cash determined as of the Measurement Date and, except for Closing Transaction Expenses, without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein). Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash shall be calculated in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles.

(b) The Final Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the fifteenth (15^th) day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Seller delivers to Purchaser written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any dispute as to the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses, as set forth in the Final Closing Statement. The Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts of Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.7(c). Any Notice of Disagreement may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected on the Final Closing Statement not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.7.

(c) During the 15-day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Seller to the Purchaser, the parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the computation of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and/or Closing Transaction Expenses as specified therein. Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Seller and Purchaser within such 15-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Seller and the Purchaser agree in writing on the resolution of each disputed item specified by the Seller in the Notice of Disagreement and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, the amounts so determined shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. If the Seller and the Purchaser have not resolved all such differences by the end of such 15-day period, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit, in writing, to the Accounting Referee, their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute and the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, and the Accounting Referee shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item and the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder and shall not be subject to appeal or further review. The Accounting Referee shall consider only those items and amounts in the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s respective calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash and Closing Transaction Expenses that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Seller and the Purchaser have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Referee may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Referee to render a written decision resolving the matters

submitted to it as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days following the submission thereof. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Accounting Referee in accordance with Section 12.7. In acting under this Agreement, the Accounting Referee will be entitled to the powers, privileges and immunities of an arbitrator.

(d) All fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the party whose determination of the Net Adjustment Amount is furthest from that finally determined by the Accounting Referee. The fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Final Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party.

(e) The Purchaser and the Seller will, and will cause the Company (in the case of the Seller, prior to the Closing and, in the case of the Purchaser, during the period from and after the date of delivery of the Final Closing Statement through the resolution of any adjustment to the Purchase Price contemplated by this Section 2.7) to afford the other party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) and to any other information reasonably requested for purposes of preparing and reviewing the calculations contemplated by this Section 2.7. Each party shall authorize its accountants to disclose work papers generated by such accountants in connection with preparing and reviewing the calculations of the Net Working Capital, Cash and Closing Date Indebtedness as specified in this Section 2.7; provided, that such accountants shall not be obligated to make any work papers available except in accordance with such accountants’ disclosure procedures and then only after the non-client party has signed an agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance acceptable to such accountants.

(f) The Estimated Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:

(i)

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Net Adjustment Amount” means an amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to (A) the Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7 minus the Estimated Net Working Capital, plus (B) the Estimated Indebtedness minus the Closing Indebtedness as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, plus (C) the Closing Cash as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7 minus the Estimated Cash, plus (D) the Estimated Transaction Expenses minus the Closing Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7;

(ii)

If the Net Adjustment Amount is positive, the Closing Date Payment shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. In such event, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount in cash equal to the Net Adjustment Amount within five (5) Business Days following determination of such Net Adjustment Amount; and

(iii)

If the Net Adjustment Amount is negative (in which case the “Net Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this clause (iii) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), the Closing Date Payment shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. In such event, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount within five (5) Business Days following determination of the Net Adjustment Amount. If elected by Purchaser, such payment shall be made, in whole or in part, from a release of Escrow Cash and/or Escrow Stock (valued using the applicable valuation method set forth in Section 2.5(b))by the Escrow Agent to Parent or Purchaser, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(g) For purposes of calculating Net Working Capital and the Net Adjustment Amount, the following adjustments shall be made to the Net Working Capital: Seller shall only receive credit for Receivables actually collected through such date of calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, any uncollected Receivables at the time of the calculation shall not be included in the calculation of Net Working Capital or the Net Adjustment Amount and any Receivables actually collected in excess of the net Receivables used in the calculation of the Net Working Capital on the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be included, without duplication, in the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital .

(h) In the event any Receivables that had not been collected at the time of calculating the Net Working Capital and the Net Adjustment Amount, as applicable, are collected within sixty (60) days following delivery of the Final Closing Statement (such sixty (60) day period, the “First Receivables True-up Period”), Purchaser shall provide the Seller with an additional statement showing the additional Receivables collected from the Measurement Date through such date and, subject to Seller’s agreement with the calculations thereof, pay to the Seller such additional collected Receivables. In the event any Receivables that had not been collected at the time of calculating the Net Working Capital and the Net Adjustment Amount, as applicable, nor during the First Receivables True-Up Period, are collected within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the First Receivables True-up Period (such period, the “Second Receivables True-up Period”), Purchaser shall provide the Seller with an additional statement showing the additional Receivables collected during the Second Receivables True-up Period and, subject to Seller’s agreement with the calculations thereof, pay to the Seller such additional collected Receivables. Any Receivables uncollected following the expiration of the Second Receivables True-up Period shall be assigned to Seller at no value; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to, and shall not, pursue any Legal Proceeding to collect any of such Receivables if such Receivables are collectible from a current customer of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of Purchaser which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(i) Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

2.8 Calculation of Earnout Amounts. In addition to the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the earnout amounts set forth below (together, the “Earnout Amounts”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.8.

(a) 2020 Earnout Amount. Seller shall be entitled to a 2020 Earnout Amount if the Business EBITDA achieved by the Business in the twelve (12)-month period ending on December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Earnout Period” and the Business EBITDA during such period, the “2020 EBITDA”) exceeds Eighteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($18,300,000) (the “Base EBITDA”). The “2020 Earnout Amount,” if any, shall equal the product of twelve (12) multiplied by the amount by which the 2020 EBITDA exceeds the Base EBITDA; provided, that the 2020 Earnout Amount shall in no event exceed $50,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, if the 2020 EBITDA is less than the Base EBITDA, then the Seller shall not be entitled to any 2020 Earnout Amount. If Parent has consummated an IPO or sale of Parent Common Stock in a private placement offering following the date hereof but prior to payment of the 2020 Earnout Amount, the proceeds of which are no less than Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) (a “Qualifying Equity Raise”), the 2020 Earnout Amount shall be payable fifty percent (50%) in cash and the remaining fifty percent (50%), at Purchaser’s election, in cash or Parent Common Stock, with the Parent Common Stock valued in accordance with Section 2.5(c). If Parent has not consummated a Qualifying Equity Raise following the date hereof and prior to the payment of the 2020 Earnout Amount, the 2020 Earnout Amount shall be paid one hundred percent (100%) in Parent Common Stock, with the Parent Common Stock valued in accordance with Section 2.5(c).

(b) 2021 Earnout Amount. Seller shall be entitled to a 2021 Earnout Amount if the Business EBITDA achieved by the Business in the twelve (12)-month period ending on December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Earnout Period” and the Business EBITDA during such period, the “2021 EBITDA”) exceeds the 2020 EBITDA. The “2021 Earnout Amount,” if any, shall equal the product of ten (10) multiplied by the amount by which the 2021 EBITDA exceeds the 2020 EBITDA; provided, however, that (i) if the 2020 EBITDA is less than the Base EBITDA, the 2021 Earnout Amount shall be equal to the product of ten (10) multiplied by the amount by which the 2021 EBITDA exceeds the Base EBITDA and (ii) if the 2020 EBITDA was greater than $22,466,667, then the 2021 Earnout Amount shall be equal to the product of ten (10) multiplied by the amount by which the 2021 EBITDA exceeds $22,466,667; provided, further, that the 2021 Earnout Amount shall in no event exceed $30,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, if the 2021 EBITDA is less than (x) the lesser of $22,466,667 and the 2020 EBITDA or (y) the Base EBITDA, then the Seller shall not be entitled to any 2021 Earnout Amount. The 2021 Earnout Amount shall be payable in cash.

(c) No later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date on which the Purchaser’s audited financial statements for the twelve (12) month periods ending December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 are completed, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a report (the “Earnout Report”) in the form of Exhibit 2.8(c) attached hereto, setting forth the Management’s calculation of 2020 EBITDA or 2021 EBITDA, as applicable, and the resulting Earnout Amount, if any, payable to the Seller. If the Seller has any objections to the calculation of the 2020 EBITDA or 2021 EBITDA, as applicable, and the resulting Earnout Amount, as reflected in the Earnout Report, then the Seller shall deliver a written letter setting forth the disagreement and the basis therefor in reasonable particularity (the “Earnout Objections Statement”) to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s delivery of the Earnout

Report. If the Seller fails to deliver an Earnout Objections Statement within such thirty (30)-day period, then the calculation of 2020 EBITDA or 2021 EBITDA, as applicable, and the resulting Earnout Amount, if any, set forth in the Earnout Report shall become final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto. If the Seller delivers an Earnout Objections Statement within such thirty (30)-day period, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall attempt promptly to resolve such disagreement in good faith. During such period, and upon receiving reasonable advance written notice, Purchaser and the Company shall give the Seller and its representatives reasonable access during business hours to all relevant books and records (including work papers) of the Business to the extent required to complete Seller’s review of the Earnout Report. If a final resolution is not obtained within thirty (30) days after the Seller has submitted the Earnout Objections Statement, any remaining matters which are in dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee will prepare and deliver a written report to the Purchaser and the Seller and will submit a resolution of such unresolved disputes promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accounting Referee. The Accounting Referee’s determination of such unresolved disputes will be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties hereto. The costs, expenses and fees of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by the party whose calculation of the Earnout Amount has the greatest difference from the final Earnout Amount as determined by the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 2.8(c). Within five (5) Business Days after each of the Earnout Amounts become final and binding in accordance with this Section 2.8(c), the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller any additional Earnout Amounts, if any, owed to the Seller. Judgment may be entered upon the written determination of the Accounting Referee in any court referred to in Section 12.7.

(d) In addition to the annual Earnout Report described in subparagraph (c) above, no later than forty (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter during the Earnout Period, Management shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser an estimated Earnout Report setting forth Management’s calculation of year-to-date 2020 EBITDA or 2021 EBITDA, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the interim year-to-date 2020 EBITDA or 2021 EBITDA, as applicable, delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this subparagraph (d) shall be for informational purposes only and shall not be binding and conclusive on the parties.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amounts owed to the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.8 will be subordinate to the Purchaser’s obligations under that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2019, as may be amended, restated, refinanced, extended, or replaced by and among the Borrower and the Guarantors named therein, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Capital One Bank National Association and Fifth and Third Bank, as Co-Syndication Agents, Fifth Third Bank, as Documentation Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, restated, refinanced, extended or replaced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Seller shall enter into a subordination agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.8(e) (the “Subordination Agreement”) at the Closing.

(f) The Earnout Amount shall represent only a right to receive cash and/or Parent Common Stock from the Purchaser, subject to the terms set forth herein. The Earnout Amount shall not be deemed an interest in any security, nor shall it possess any attributes of shareholder interests and shall not entitle the holders thereof to any rights of any kind other than as specifically set forth herein, including, without limitation, any rights as a security holder or

owner in the Company; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any Parent Common Stock to the extent Parent Common Stock is issued in full or partial satisfaction of the 2020 Earnout Amount. Except for the Parent Common Stock, if any, issued as full or partial satisfaction of the 2020 Earnout Amount, the Earnout Amount shall not be represented by any form of certificate or any other instrument. Except as set forth in Section 2.8(k), no interest is payable with respect to the Earnout Amount. Seller may not sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of its right to receive any portion of the Earnout Amount, other than (A) by the laws of descent and distribution or succession or (B) by assignment of all rights thereto after the Closing Date to a transferee with the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(g) The parties hereto acknowledge that there is no assurance that the Seller will receive any Earnout Amount, and Purchaser has not projected any Earnout Amount or promised any Earnout Amount except to the extent the Purchaser is bound hereby to pay such Earnout Amount according to the terms set forth herein. The Earnout Amounts are speculative and are subject to numerous factors outside the control of Purchaser and its Affiliates and, accordingly, there is no assurance that Seller will receive the Earnout Amounts.

(h) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller, during the 2020 Earnout Period and the 2021 Earnout Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to:

(i)

Allow the Management of the Company to operate the Business consistent with past practice and in their reasonable discretion, for so long as, and only for so long as, all of the following criteria are satisfied (in each case, subject to any written waiver by Purchaser of compliance with any such criteria or any written consent granted by Purchaser that allows the Company to operate outside of any such criteria):

(A)

the EBITDA of the Company is not twenty percent (20.0%) or more below the applicable quarterly budget, for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, measured quarterly commencing with January 1^st, 2020;

(B)

unless at any point it is projected by Seller that the maximum Earnout Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.8(c) for either 2020 or 2021, as applicable, will be earned, then Seller will not spend more than $100,000 in excess of the budget for Account Code 61510 – Marketing Expense, nor incur more than $100,000 of personnel costs (specifically—salary, taxes, benefits) related to the Major Projects Team in excess of what is set forth in the Applicable Budget, nor offer pricing discounts greater than twenty-five percent (>25%) off of Sellers historical pricing practices or rate sheet, without prior written approval from Purchaser;

(C)

except as may otherwise be agreed by Purchaser, the Company does not enter into any Contracts with customers, suppliers, employees, independent contractors or other third parties with terms that are inconsistent with past practice or that would create liabilities beyond the 2021 Earnout Period, except for such liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business and are a result of the amendment, renewals or extension of any Contract in effect on the Closing Date so long as the terms of the amendment or extension are materially consistent with the existing terms of such Contract;

(D)

the Company is fulfilling its obligation under all contracts and is in compliance with all Laws to which it is subject;

(E)

there are no changes to base compensation, employee benefits or bonus eligibility for employees of the Business other than those included in the Applicable Budget or in the ordinary course of business;

(F)

the Company does not enter into any new long term commitments (including real estate leases) or renew the terms of any long term commitments; and

(G)

the Company does not make any capital expenditure except as budgeted in the Applicable Budget or otherwise consistent with the existing Schedule of Authorities;

provided, however, that the following changes to the Company or the Business shall be expressly permitted in the discretion of Purchaser and shall not be deemed to be inconsistent with the operation of the Business by Management in accordance with past practices and in the reasonable discretion of Management:

(ii)

replacement of directors, managers or officers of the Company;

(iii)

replacement of any employee of the Company (A) for performance reasons, (B) with good reason in accordance with any violation of Purchaser’s or any Affiliates’ employee handbook policies and procedures (C) or after discussion with Management in the event Management has not satisfied one of the covenants set forth in clauses (A) through (G) above;

(iv)

implementation of Parent’s policies and procedures, to the extent the purpose of such policy or procedure is not to negatively impact the EBITDA of the Company;

(v)

changes in legal structure;

(vi)

changes in Company bank accounts and treasury functions; and

(vii)

any other changes that (A) may be required by Law (including securities regulations and exchange requirements), (B) are necessary or advisable in order to comply with contracts to which Purchaser or the Company is party, (C) are necessary or advisable in order to comply with Purchaser accounting and control policies and security protocols and/or (D) the Purchaser (and/or its board of directors) determines in good faith are advisable in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders or are otherwise in the best interests of its stockholders.

Purchaser acknowledges that the results and impact of any changes above shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(j) below and any positive or negative impacts to EBITDA resulting from actions by Purchaser in breach of Section 2.8(h)(i) shall not be included in the calculations to ensure that the performance targets are measured against a comparable Base EBITDA.

Except as otherwise set forth in any separate written agreement with any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company, nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Affiliates any right to continued employment, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

(i) The parties understand and agree that the Purchaser shall be able to freely run the Business in its sole discretion following a breach by Management of any of the covenants set forth in Section 2.8(h)(i)(A)–(G). Following such breach by Management, Purchaser shall have no obligation to operate, or otherwise take action in respect of, the Business in order to cause the achievement the Earnout Amounts or the maximizing of any Earnout Amounts; provided, that Purchaser shall not take any action the purpose of which is to impair the ability of the Business to achieve the Earnout Amounts; and provided, further, that the Purchaser shall act in good faith and consult with Management prior to making any material decisions affecting the Business. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall owe any fiduciary duty or express or implied duty to the Seller in respect of the Earnout Amounts or otherwise (and the Seller hereby waives any such duties) and the parties solely intend for the express provisions of this Agreement, including the covenants set forth in Section 2.8(h), and the other agreements contemplated hereby to govern their contractual relationship. Management shall not take any action to manipulate the financial results of the Business or otherwise take any action outside the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which is to enhance the ability of the Business to achieve the Earnout Amounts.

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum Earnout Amounts payable to the Seller for the 2020 Earnout Amount and the 2021 Earnout Amount are $50,000,000 and $30,000,000, respectively. In calculating the 2020 EBITDA and the 2021 EBITDA, the parties agree that any positive or negative impacts to EBITDA resulting from integration with Purchaser’s systems, processes, and/or policies (i.e. software license costs/savings, health benefits costs/savings, etc.), loss of any Customers due to conflicts or terminations required as a

consequence of, and directly resulting from, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any allocation of corporate overhead, corporate travel expenses for Purchaser’s executives or other similar expenses shall not be included in the calculations to ensure that the performance targets are measured against a comparable Base EBITDA.

(k) In the event Purchaser is restricted or prohibited under the terms of the Credit Agreement from making payment of any portion of the 2020 Earnout Amount and the 2021 Earnout Amount earned and payable to Seller, then such amount(s) shall be represented by one or more promissory notes dated as of the date payment was otherwise due under this Agreement due and payable immediately upon the earlier of (i) the waiver, release or termination of the prohibition or restriction on the ability to make such payment under the Credit Agreement or (ii) any termination of the Credit Agreement. Such note(s) shall be subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid in full; provided, that the issuance of the note(s) shall not constitute a waiver or cure of Purchaser’s breach of its covenant(s) to pay the Earnout Amounts or preclude Seller from pursuing any remedy available as a result of such breach; provided, further, however, Seller shall not be entitled to declare a breach or pursue any remedy as a result of such breach until the date following the later of (i) the date that is 90 days following the issuance of the note(s) and (ii) the expiration of the terms of the Subordination Agreement.

(l) To the extent that Purchaser pays one hundred percent (100%) of the 2020 Earnout Amount in Parent Common Stock, Seller shall be entitled to cause fifty percent (50%) of such Parent Common Stock to be included as part of the Parent Common Stock being offered in any subsequent IPO or private placement offering of Parent Common Stock the purpose of which is to raise capital.

(m) All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be treated by the parties for tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.9 Withholding. Each of Purchaser, the Escrow Agent and their respective agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or any ancillary agreements such amounts as it determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any amount payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or any ancillary agreements under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of applicable Tax Law. Any such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purpose of this Agreement and the ancillary agreements as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(ii)

Any Tax Returns of the Company and the Other Seller Subsidiaries that are filed after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date (“Seller Prepared Tax Returns”) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the Company and Other Seller Subsidiaries. At least ten (10) days prior to the filing of any Seller Prepared Tax Return, the Seller shall submit, or shall cause to be submitted a draft of such Tax Return to Purchaser (together with schedules, statements, and supporting documentation) for its review, comment, and approval. The Seller and the Purchaser shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of such Seller Prepared Tax Return and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be submitted to a nationally recognized accounting firm for resolution (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return), which such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties.

The Purchaser shall be entitled to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date (including any Straddle Tax Period Tax Returns and taking account of extensions of time to file Tax Returns) (“Purchaser Prepared Tax Returns”), other than Flow-Through Income Tax Returns that are prepared by Seller pursuant to Section 5.9(a).

(d) Straddle Tax Period Taxes. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes among a Straddle Tax Period, (i) in the case of any property Taxes or other such ad valorem Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Measurement Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Measurement Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax (such as Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts) be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if there were a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Measurement Date and the relevant Tax period ended on the Measurement Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), provided, however, that the term “Closing Date” shall be substituted for the term “Measurement Date” for any Taxes incurred after the Measurement Date that are not incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including any the Other Seller Subsidiaries). The cost of preparing any Tax Returns for any Straddle Tax Period shall be prorated between the Seller and the Purchaser in accordance with this subsection (d).

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other

The party customarily responsible under applicable Law shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. The parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications and other documents regarding Transfer Taxes that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that are required or permitted to be filed at or prior to the Closing.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, any Tax allocation, Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax reimbursement or similar Contract or arrangement involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) (“Tax Agreement”) shall be terminated prior to the Measurement Date (including any obligation to make a distribution with respect to Taxes pursuant to the operating agreement of the Company or any of the Other Seller Subsidiaries) and, after the Measurement Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) shall enter into any Tax Agreement after the date hereof.

(h) Partnership Audit Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, in connection with any tax proceeding for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes, the parties shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, make, or shall cause to be made, in respect of the Company or such Subsidiary (as applicable) an election “out” under Section 6221(b) of the Code or, if such election is not available, an election to “push out” adjustments under Section 6226 of the Code (or any comparable provision in any state, local or foreign Tax Law) in respect of any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing (and the Seller shall take any actions necessary to give effect to this sentence).

(i) Tax Treatment. The Seller and the Purchaser intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as a purchase of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) by the Purchaser. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, make any election to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) to be classified (or otherwise treated) as an entity other than an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 (and comparable provisions of state and local Law) for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. As soon as

practicable following the determination of the Final Closing Statement or such earlier time as determined by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes determined in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any other relevant provision of applicable Law (the “Allocation”) among the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Other Seller Subsidiaries) for Tax purposes. The Seller shall respond within ten (10) days of receipt of the draft Allocation, by providing either (i) its acceptance of the draft Allocation or (ii) any reasonable objections to the methodology utilized by the Purchaser. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any differences between them for ten (10) days. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach a timely resolution of any dispute regarding the Allocation, the dispute shall be resolved by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller. The parties hereto and their Affiliates shall (x) report the federal, state and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner consistent with the Allocation (as determined pursuant to this Section 5.9(i)) and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith (whether on any Tax Return or before any Governmental Body), unless otherwise required by applicable Law, and (y) if, subsequent to the Closing, there is an increase or decrease in the Purchase Price or other consideration paid by the Purchaser to the Seller, the parties shall allocate such increase or decrease among the assets of the Company in a reasonable manner reflecting such adjustment within forty-five (45) days of such adjustment.

(j) USVI Tax Forms. The Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any proceedings relating to the USVI Tax Forms (as defined below) or the Requested Relief (including participating in conferences with the Taxing authorities and reviewing and commenting on material prior to submission to submission to the Taxing authorities). The Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect of the foregoing. If (i) the BIR grants the Requested Relief and (ii) the Purchaser determines that none of the Purchaser, its Affiliates (including the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries) or the Seller may have any liability for Taxes (including interest or penalties or related costs and expenses) in respect of the matters covered by the Requested Relief or the Amended Tax Returns (“USVI Tax Forms”), then the USVI Tax Escrow shall be released to the Seller. If (x) the BIR does not grant the Requested Relief or (y) the Purchaser determines that the Purchaser, the Seller or any of their Affiliates (including Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries) may have any liability for Taxes (including interest, penalties, or related costs and expenses) in respect of the matters covered by the USVI Tax Forms (including any Taxes, costs or expense that may be incurred by such parties as a result of the BIR not granting the Requested Relief) (“USVI Exposure”), the USVI Exposure shall first be satisfied out of the USVI Tax Escrow, and (A) if the USVI Tax Escrow exceeds the USVI Exposure, any amount remaining in the USVI Tax Escrow after the full satisfaction of the USVI Exposure shall be released to the Seller or (B) if the USVI Exposure exceeds the USVI Tax Escrow, the remaining USVI Exposure shall be satisfied in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article XI.

5.10 Customer Visits. During the Interim Period, at the Purchaser’s request and upon reasonable notice, the Seller shall, in a manner agreed to by the parties, permit the Purchaser to discuss and meet, and shall cooperate in such discussions and meetings, with any Customer or Supplier of the Company or Other Seller Subsidiaries that the Purchaser so requests. Furthermore, Seller shall (and shall cause the Company and the Other Seller Subsidiaries to) cooperate with the

Purchaser in the preparation of a presentation to such Customers and/or Suppliers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if a commercial relationship and/or agreement the Company or an Other Seller Subsidiary has with a Customer or Supplier terminates during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date.

5.11 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Confidential Information. Except to comply with its obligations or to the extent strictly necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement, Seller shall hold in confidence at all times following the date hereof all Confidential Information and shall not disclose, publish or make use of Confidential Information at any time following the date hereof without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

(b) Noncompetition. (i) Seller hereby acknowledges that (A) the Company and the Other Seller Subsidiaries conduct the Business in the Territory and/or have current plans to expand the Business throughout the Territory and (B) to protect adequately the interest of the Purchaser in the business and goodwill of the Company and the Other Seller Subsidiaries, it is essential that any noncompetition covenant with respect thereto cover all of the Business and the entire Territory.

(c) Nonsolicitation. The Seller shall not, during the Non-compete Period, in any manner, directly, indirectly, individually, in partnership, jointly or in conjunction with any Person, (i) (A) recruit or solicit or attempt to recruit or solicit, on his or her behalf or on behalf of any other Person, any current or former employee of the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries whose employment with the Company the Other Seller Subsidiaries, as applicable, terminated within the six (6) month period ending on the date of such action by the Seller, (B) encourage any Person (other than the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates) to recruit or solicit any current or former employee of the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries, or (C) otherwise encourage any employee of the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries to discontinue his or her employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates, (ii) solicit any customer who currently is a customer of the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries or has been a customer of the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of providing, distributing or selling products or services similar to those sold or provided by the Company or the Other Seller Subsidiaries or (iii) persuade or attempt to persuade any customer or supplier of the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) to terminate or modify such customer’s or supplier’s relationship with the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates).

(d) Severability. In the event a judicial or arbitral determination is made that any provision of this Section 5.11 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Seller, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial or arbitral determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable with respect to the Seller. In this regard, any judicial authority construing this Agreement shall be empowered to sever any portion of the Territory, any prohibited business activity or any time period from the coverage of this Section 5.11 and to apply the provisions of this Section 5.11 to the remaining portion of the Territory, the remaining business activities and the remaining time period not so severed by such judicial or arbitral authority. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 5.11 is determined not to be specifically enforceable, the Purchaser shall nevertheless be entitled to seek to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach of such provision by the Seller.

The Seller shall not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that Purchaser has an adequate remedy at law.

5.12 Release.

(a) In consideration for the Purchase Price, as of and following the Closing Date, Seller, on behalf of itself, its predecessors and assigns and its Affiliates (which shall not include the Company and the Other Seller Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) knowingly, voluntarily, irrevocably and unconditionally releases, forever discharges, and covenants not to xxx the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including Parent, the Company and the Other Seller Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from or for any and all claims, causes of action, demands, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of every kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, that such Releasing Party has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date (“Released Causes of Action”); provided, however, that none of the releases in this Section 5.12 shall limit or otherwise affect the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto with regard to any rights, claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of this Agreement or any Related Agreement.

Each Releasing Party hereby waives the protection of any provision of any law that would operate to preserve claims that are unknown as of the Closing Date or at any other time. Each Releasing Party specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

Each Releasing Party acknowledges that the release made in this Section 5.12 is a material inducement to each Released Party’s decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Releasing Party represents that it has not made any assignment or transfer of any Released Causes of Action.

To the extent recovery from the R&W Insurance Policy is unavailable or insufficient to completely cover such Purchaser Losses, Purchaser shall then seek remedy from the Escrow Stock pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement before seeking to recover any Purchaser Losses from Seller or the Seller Indemnifying Members. To the extent recovery from the Escrow Stock is unavailable or insufficient to completely cover such Purchaser Losses, and subject to the limitations on indemnifiable Losses under Section 11.3(b), Purchaser shall be entitled to seek remedy through offset of any such Purchaser Losses against any Earnout Amounts earned by and payable to Seller, if any, and thereafter, directly from Seller and the Seller Indemnifying Members. In respect of any Purchaser Losses arising out of or related to USVI Exposure, Purchaser shall first seek recovery from the USVI Tax Escrow, and the USVI Tax Escrow shall only be available for such Purchaser Losses arising out of or related to USVI Exposure.

(b) Limitations on Indemnifiable Losses. The parties agree that the first $1,800,000 of indemnifiable Losses pursuant to claims made pursuant to Section 11.1(a) shall be split evenly by Purchaser and Seller (and in the case of Seller, first from the Escrow Cash, to the extent it is available); provided, that this shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation, Special Representations or to any representation or warranty in the event of Fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. Purchaser shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Purchaser exceeds $900,000.00 (the “Basket”), in which case Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses in excess of the Basket. The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Seller and the Seller Indemnifying Members (not including Losses recovered from the R&W Insurance Policy) arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 11.1(a), (c) or (i) and from the Purchaser arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 11.2(a), shall be an amount equal to $15,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that the Basket and the Cap shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation, Special Representations or to any representation or warranty in the event of Fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. In the case of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Seller and the Seller Indemnifying Members arising out of or relating to Fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation, Special Representation, breach of covenant, agreement or undertaking under Section 11.1(b), Pre-Closing Taxes under Section 11.1(d), Closing Date Indebtedness and Closing Date Expenses under Section 11.1(e), any claim by Seller, the member of Seller or their respective Affiliates under Section 11.1(h), the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered Seller and the Seller Indemnifying Members shall be the Purchase Price plus any Earnout Amounts actually paid or then due and owing by Purchaser. Except in the case of Fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Purchaser arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation, or breach of covenant, agreement or undertaking under Section 12.1(b) shall be the Purchase Price plus any Earnout Amounts actually paid or then due and owing by Purchaser.

(c) Limitation on Seller Indemnifying Member’s Liability. Notwithstanding the joint and several liability of the Seller Indemnifying Members under this Article XI, no individual Seller Indemnifying Member’s liability for indemnifiable Purchaser Losses not covered by the R&W Insurance Policy, the Escrow Cash, the Escrow Stock or Purchaser’s right of offset against the Earnout Amounts shall exceed such Seller Indemnifying Member’s pro rata share (each of which is set forth on Exhibit 11.1) of the lesser of (i) the Cap (to the extent such Losses are subject to the Cap) and (ii) such indemnifiable Purchaser Losses; and in the case of such Purchaser Losses not subject to the Cap or arising out of or relating to Fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, no individual Seller Indemnifying Member’s liability for such indemnifiable Purchaser Losses shall exceed such Seller Indemnifying Member’s pro rata share of the lesser of (i) the Purchase Price plus any Earnout Amounts actually received by such Seller Indemnifying Member and (ii) such indemnifiable Purchaser Losses. In no event shall any Seller Indemnifying Member be liable for Losses attributable to any breach by another Person of such Person’s obligations under such Person’s Investor Restrictive Covenant Agreement or Employee Restrictive Covenant Agreement, as applicable.

(d) Calculation of Losses. Losses shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under available insurance policies (net of any actual collection costs and reserves and deductibles and premium increases (but only to the extent the incremental premium charged as a result of the Loss can be separately identified)); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in good faith, to determine in the case of a denial of coverage or liability or issuance of reservation of rights, whether to challenge such denial or issuance; and provided, further, that an Indemnified Party shall not be required to institute or threaten any litigation or other dispute resolution procedures against any insurer. In the event an insurance recovery relating to an indemnification payment is received after the Indemnifying Party has made an indemnification payment under this Agreement that did not take into account such insurance recovery (net of all costs and expenses (including Taxes) relating to such recovery), the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the lesser of such insurance recovery and the amount of the related indemnification payment. To the extent Purchaser breaches Section 5.21, or following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, makes changes to the insurance coverages available to the Company, and if not for such breach or change of coverage, all or a portion of Purchaser Loss would have been recoverable by a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Purchaser or its Affiliates’ insurance policies, then the amount of indemnification due from the Indemnifying Party shall be reduced by the recovery that would have been available from such insurance policies absent such breach or change of coverage.

(e) Waiver of Subrogation. Except in the case of Fraud, Purchaser and Seller hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against their respective Affiliates, any Indemnifying Party, stockholders, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives of the other, for any Losses or damages to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, or the property of others under its control to the extent such loss or damage is insured against under the R&W Insurance Policy; provided, the R&W Insurer actually makes payment for such Losses and damages pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy. At Closing, Purchaser shall have given notice to the R&W Insurer that the foregoing waiver of subrogation is contained in this Agreement.

11.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Body) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall provide written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the party obligated to indemnify under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”). The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third-Party Claim that is exclusively for civil monetary damages at law pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 15 days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of such

Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim for equitable or injunctive relief or any claim that would impose criminal liability or damages, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the indemnity limitations herein), any such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof prior to the Indemnifying Party providing written notice that the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 11.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third-Party Claim (subject to the indemnity limitations herein). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third-Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim, (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder, or (iv) relates to Taxes of the Company.

(c) In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining. No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim.

(d) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant hereto with respect to any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall send a Claim Notice in respect of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Claim”). The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant to this Article XI. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Notice of Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE XI or the amount thereof, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE XI, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion of the Direct Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion of such Direct Claim) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

(e) For purposes of Section 11.1, any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller Compliance Certificate or any other Seller Related Agreement and the Losses related thereto shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.7, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Legal Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Legal Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

11.5 Survival Period. The representations and warranties, covenant and agreements made by the parties herein shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive the Closing as follows:

(a) Representations and Warranties Generally. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 11.5, the representations and warranties made by the parties herein shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than, eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date.

(b) Fundamental Representations and Special Representations. Notwithstanding Section 11.5(a), each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Organization; Standing and Power; Subsidiaries), Section 3.3 (Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement), Section 3.5 (Capitalization), Section 3.8 (Title to and Sufficiency of Assets), Section

3.21 (Related Party Transactions), Section 3.24 (Finder’s Fee), Section 4.1 (Corporate Existence and Power) and Section 4.2 (Authorization; Binding Nature of Agreement) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), and each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.15 (Tax Matters), Section 3.16 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 3.17 (Employee Matters), and Section 3.18 (Labor Matters) (collectively, the “Special Representations”) shall survive the Closing until, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than, sixty (60) days following the expiration of any statute of limitations applicable to (x) the rights of any Person to bring any claim with respect to such matters and (y) in the case of Taxes, the assessment of the applicable Tax (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

(c) Claims for Indemnification Pursuant to Sections 11.1(c)–11.1(i). All claims for indemnification with respect to claims made under Sections 11.1(c) through 11.1(i) shall survive the Closing and must be asserted not later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of any statute of limitations applicable to (x) the rights of any Person to bring any claim with respect to such matters, not to exceed six (6) years following the Closing Date, and (y) in the case of Taxes, the assessment of the applicable Tax (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

(d) Claims for Indemnification Pursuant to Sections 11.1(b) and 12.(b). The respective covenants and agreements of the Seller and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the statute of limitations following the date all performance thereunder was due to be performed; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations with respect to such covenant and agreements set forth in this Article XI shall survive for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date.

(e) Survival of Pending Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date (a “Pending Claim”), such Pending Claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such Pending Claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.6 Investigations. The respective representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered by any party at or prior to the Closing and the rights to indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE XI shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made, or knowledge acquired, by a party.

11.7 Manner of Payment and Sources of Recovery. Except as otherwise provided herein, including Section 11.3(a), any indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE XI shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to an account(s) designated by the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after the determination thereof. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled, but not required, to set-off any amount or right it may be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, payments for indemnification obligations), against any amount, right or obligation owed to the Seller under this Agreement or Seller Related Agreement, including but not limited to the Earnout Amounts, as determined in such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s sole discretion. The value of each share of Escrow Stock for purposes of this Article XI shall be equal to the Issuance Price.

11.8 Tax Treatment. Any payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE XI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE XII

Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver of any provision hereof shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by written agreement of the parties.

Each of the parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that disputes with respect to the matters referenced in Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee as provided therein.

12.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

12.9 Assignment and Successors. No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that the Purchaser may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Purchaser. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

12.10 Parties in Interest. Except for the provisions of ARTICLE XI, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (if any).
