(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Since the Acquisition Date, the Company Group and all of their respective officers, directors and Employees (while employed by the Company Group) have complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws to which they are subject with respect to health care regulatory matters, including 42 U.S.C. Sections 1320a-7 and 7(a) imposing sanctions and civil monetary penalties respectively, and 1320a-7(b) (commonly referred to as the “Federal Anti-Kickback Statute”) imposing criminal penalties for fraud and abuse violations regarding claims submitted to Medicare and other federal health care programs; 42 U.S.C.

Except as set forth in Section 5.10(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors or Employees (while employed by the Company), has since December 31, 2012, received any written notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority to the effect that it or any activity conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary is not in material compliance with any Health Care Laws.

eligible to so participate) and in the Medicaid program for each state in which it operates and (b) has current provider numbers for all Governmental Programs and such private non-governmental programs, including without limitation any private insurance program, under which it directly or indirectly is presently receiving payments or is a participating provider (each, a “Private Program”). Section 5.10(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule also identifies the state(s) in which each Subsidiary is a participating provider in such state(s)’ Medicaid program. Each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with all material requirements of each Governmental Program and each Private Program in which such Subsidiary participates. None of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors or Employees has received any notice indicating that such participation may be terminated, suspended, limited or withdrawn nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is there any reason to believe that such participation may be terminated, suspended, limited or withdrawn. None of the Company or its Subsidiaries has received any written communication from a Governmental Authority that alleges that it is not in compliance with any Health Care Laws, other than statements of deficiencies from a Governmental Authority received in the ordinary course of business. Since the Acquisition Date, none of the Company Group has been subpoenaed or charged or, to the Company’s Knowledge, investigated in connection with any possible violation of any Health Care Laws, except for any surveys or investigations in the ordinary course of business regarding compliance with Medicare or Medicaid conditions of participation or state licensure requirements. Except as set forth in Section 5.10(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule and except for payment adjustment notices received in the ordinary course of business, there are no pending appeals, overpayment determinations, audits, litigation or notices of intent to open Medicare, Medicaid or other Third Party Payor claim determinations or cost reports. True, correct and complete copies of all reports of all inspections and surveys of the Subsidiaries containing unresolved findings with respect to the Business conducted in connection with any Governmental Program, Private Program or licensing or accrediting body during the past three years and delivered to the Subsidiaries have been provided or made available to Buyer. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no Governmental Program overpayments that have not been refunded in accordance with the PPACA.

(iii) Except as set forth on Section 5.10(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule, since the Acquisition Date, none of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Employee has been convicted of, charged with, or investigated for a Medicare, Medicaid or Governmental Program related offense, or convicted of, charged with or, to the Knowledge of the Company, investigated for a violation of federal or state Law relating to fraud, theft, embezzlement, breach of fiduciary responsibility, financial misconduct, obstruction of an investigation or controlled substances. Except as set forth on Section 5.10(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Employee, has been charged with or convicted of any criminal offense relating to the delivery of an item or service under any Governmental Program, has been excluded or suspended from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or any other Governmental Program, or has been debarred, suspended or are otherwise ineligible to participate in any such Governmental Program. Except as set forth on Section 5.10(b)(iii) of the Disclosure Schedule, since the Acquisition Date, to the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors or Employees has committed any offense which may reasonably serve as the basis for any such exclusion, suspension, debarment or other ineligibility

from a Governmental Program. To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors or Employees has arranged or contracted with any individual or entity that is suspended, excluded or debarred from participation in, or otherwise ineligible to participate in, a Governmental Program.

(iv) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to a corporate integrity agreement, consent order or similar agreement with any Governmental Authority. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any current Employee thereof has been excluded or is threatened with exclusion from participation in any Governmental Program.

(v) Since the Acquisition Date, each Subsidiary has filed all material claims, cost reports, or other reports required to be filed with respect to such Subsidiary’s provision of services, products and supplies covered under Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE and other Federal Health Care Programs, as such term is defined in section 1128B(f) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(f), in which the Subsidiary participates (collectively “Governmental Programs”), in material compliance with all statutes, rules and regulations applicable to the Governmental Program, and all such claims and reports comply in all material respects with all statutes, rules and regulations applicable to the Governmental Program. Since the Acquisition Date, each Subsidiary is and has been in material compliance with filing requirements with respect to cost reports, and such reports do not claim, and none of the Subsidiaries has received, payment or reimbursement in excess of the amount provided by applicable law or any applicable agreement, except where excess reimbursement was noted on the cost report or in an appeal of the cost report. True and correct copies of all such reports for the three most recent fiscal years of the Subsidiaries have been made available to Buyer. Section 5.10(b)(v) of the Disclosure Schedule indicates which of such cost reports for cost reporting periods ended within the three most recent fiscal years have been audited by the fiscal intermediary and finally settled. To the Company’s Knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances which may reasonably be expected to give rise to any material disallowance under any such cost reports.

(vi) Although one of the Subsidiaries has experienced a change of majority ownership within 36 months, that Subsidiary submitted two consecutive years of full cost reports (excluding any low utilization or no utilization cost reports). Therefore, pursuant to 42 CFR § 424.550(b)(1) and (2)(i), said change in majority ownership should not prohibit the conveyance of said Subsidiary’s Medicare provider agreement and billing privileges. Further, the Subsidiaries have the power to transfer the Governmental Program provider numbers listed on Section 5.10(b)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule to Buyer provided that any required consent or approval of, prior filing with or notice to, or any action by, any Governmental Authority is fulfilled, and no transaction or event has occurred that would prevent the Subsidiaries from transferring those Governmental Program provider numbers set forth on Section 5.10(b)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule to Buyer. In accordance with 42 CFR § 424.535, 42 CFR § 424.502 and 42 CFR § 489.52, with respect to the Governmental Program provider numbers to be transferred to Buyer under this Agreement, none of the Subsidiaries has undergone a cessation of business and each Subsidiary has remained operational as defined in 42 CFR § 424.502. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no material violation, default, or deficiency that exists with respect to the Governmental Program provider numbers owned by the Subsidiaries that would

give cause for termination of the provider agreement or revocation of enrollment or billing privileges by any Governmental Program.

(vii) The Company and each Subsidiary are in material compliance with the applicable privacy, security, transaction standards, breach notification, and other provisions and requirements of HIPAA, the HITECH Act and any comparable state Laws. The Company and each Subsidiary have established and implemented such policies, programs, procedures, contracts and systems as are necessary to comply with HIPAA and the HITECH Act. Since the Acquisition Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written communication, or to the Company’s Knowledge, any verbal notice, from any Governmental Authority that alleges that the Company or any Subsidiary is not in material compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards or the HITECH Act. Since the Acquisition Date, no Breach has occurred with respect to any unsecured Protected Health Information (including electronic Protected Health Information) maintained by or for the Company or any Subsidiary that is subject to the notification requirements of 45 CFR Part 164, Subpart D, and no information security or privacy breach event has occurred that would require notification under any comparable state Laws. For purposes of this Section, “Breach” means a breach of unsecured Protected Health Information as defined in 45 CFR Section 164.402 and “Protected Health Information” means individually identifiable health information transmitted by electronic media, maintained in electronic media, or transmitted or maintained in any other form or medium as defined in 45 CFR Section 160.103. Each Subsidiary has records retention policies and procedures that require compliance with all records retention Laws pertaining to retention of health care records, including records retention requirements imposed by Medicare and applicable Medicaid programs, and, since the Acquisition Date, each Subsidiary has materially complied with such policies and procedures and such Law.

(viii) To the Knowledge of the Company, since the Acquisition Date, none of the Company Group, or any officer or director of any of them, acting alone or together, has performed any of the following acts: (A) the making or offering of any payment to or for the private use of any governmental official, employee, agent or candidate where the payment or the purpose of the payment was illegal under the laws of the United States or the jurisdiction in which such payment was made, (B) the establishment or maintenance of any unrecorded fund, asset or liability for any purpose or the making of any false or artificial entries on its books, or (C) the making of any payment to any Person or the receipt of any payment with the intention or understanding that any part of the payment was to be used for any purpose other than described in the documents supporting the payment.

(c) Section 5.10(c) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, complete and correct list of: (i) the authorized services provided by each Home Health Agency; and (ii) the service area of each Home Health Agency. The Company Group possesses all Permits that are necessary or required to be obtained from (A) the New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council; (B) the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services; (C) the States of New York and Connecticut in connection with the Subsidiaries’ license to operate in such states; and

(D) the States of New York and Connecticut in connection with the Subsidiaries’ participation in the Medicaid Program in such states, to carry on the health care operations of the Business in the manner presently conducted (collectively, “Health Care Permits”). Seller has previously provided copies of all Health Care Permits to Buyer. All Health Care Permits are valid and in full force and effect, no violations have occurred, and no action or proceeding is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened to revoke or limit any of those Health Care Permits. To the Knowledge of the Company, no action has been taken or recommended by any Governmental Authority, either to revoke, withdraw or suspend any Health Care Permit.

(b) Prior to the Closing, (i) Sellers shall cause the Company Group to maintain its existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage, and (ii) Sellers shall cause the Company Group to purchase and maintain in effect, without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement, for a period of six years following the Closing Date with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided that Sellers may permit the Company or the Subsidiaries to substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result

in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date. The cost of such “tail” insurance policy shall be borne by Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of Company and Subsidiaries under this Section 6.8 shall be limited to the coverage provided by the “tail” policy acquired pursuant to this Section 6.8 and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have any indemnification liability or obligation exceeding such coverage. If the cost of the “tail” policy has not been paid prior to Closing, the expense will be treated as a Transaction Expense. None of the Company Group will have any indemnification obligations under this Section 6.8 unless the “tail” policy is obtained as contemplated in this Section 6.8.

(c) The current and former directors, officers, Employees and agents of the Company Group entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance described in this Section 6.8 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.8. This Section 6.8 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer.

(d) Buyer shall cause the Company Group to pay, all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 6.8 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 6.8, but only to the extent it is determined that Buyer or the Company has breached its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) If Buyer, the Company, the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective successors or assigns, proposes to (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such proposed transaction, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, Buyer shall cause proper provision to be made prior to or concurrently with the consummation of such transaction so that the surviving corporation or entity in such proposed transaction, or the successors and assigns of Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall, from and after the consummation of such transaction, assume and comply with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

6.9 Employment Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall ensure that neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries (i) effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the United States Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or (ii) terminate or layoff Employees other than in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(b) After the Closing, Buyer shall ensure that neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries shall, at any time within 90 days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in the United States Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) If requested in writing by Buyer, Sellers shall cause the Company Group to take all necessary steps to cause the termination of Company Group’s 401(k) plan immediately prior to the Closing.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.9, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Employee any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, nor shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any Benefit Plan and Arrangement. Furthermore, this Section 6.9 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties, and nothing in this Section 6.9, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever.

6.10 Preservation of Books and Records. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, retain all books, records and other documents of the Company Group relating to periods prior to the Closing and make the same available for inspection and copying by each Seller (at such Seller’s expense) during normal business hours, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice. Buyer shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not, destroy or permit to be destroyed any such books, records or documents after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date without first advising Sellers’ Representative in writing and giving Sellers’ Representative a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof.

6.11 Insurance Coverage. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Company Group to maintain in force all property, fire and casualty, general liability, product liability, director and officer, professional malpractice and other insurance policies maintained by the Company Group as of the date of this Agreement, or replacement insurance policies providing comparable coverage.

6.12 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

6.13 Further Assurances; Closing Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees, from time to time as and when requested by any other Party, to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other appropriate actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things, as such other Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby. From the date hereof until the Closing, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article VII.

6.14 No Solicitation of Other Bids.

(a) Neither the Company nor any Seller shall, nor shall they authorize or permit any Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. The Company and Sellers shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all of its and their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Section 6.14, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or any of its Affiliates) concerning (i) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries; or (iii) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries properties or assets.

(b) In addition to the other obligations under this Section 6.14, Sellers and Company shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days after receipt thereof by any Seller or the Company or its Representatives) advise Buyer orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same.

(c) The Company and Sellers agree that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 6.14 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer.

6.15 Tax Matters.

(a) In the case of any Taxes of the Company or the Subsidiaries that are payable with respect to any Tax period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income, receipts or expenditures, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of

which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, any retention or transaction bonuses or other compensatory payments or payment obligations of the Company or the Subsidiaries to Company Group Employees or other Persons that will become due and payable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be considered to have been paid on or prior to the Closing Date, so long as such payments are included as Current Liabilities in the calculation of Working Capital. Any such bonuses, payments and payment obligations (and the employer’s share of any associated employment, payroll and similar Taxes) shall be deducted (pursuant to the “two and a half month rule” of Treasury Regulations Section 1.404(b)-1T, Revenue Procedure 2008-25 or otherwise) only on Tax Returns for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date. All Taxes of the Company Group that are accrued and unpaid for the period through the Closing Date, including Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be included as a Current Liability in calculating Working Capital.

(b) Buyer shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns of the Company Group required to be filed with any Governmental Authority after the Closing Date, and shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. With respect to any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or with respect to any Straddle Period, Sellers shall be responsible for the Pre-Closing Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns (collectively, “Sellers’ Taxes”), to the extent not previously taken into account as a Current Liability in calculating the Final Working Capital. Buyer shall notify Sellers’ Representative in writing of the amount due in respect of any such Tax Return no later than 20 Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is due and attach to such written notice detailed worksheets showing the computation of the amount due. No later than 10 Business Days prior to the date such Tax Return is due, (i) Sellers shall remit, or cause Sellers’ Representative to remit, the amount of Sellers’ Taxes in excess of the amount taken into account as a Current Liability in calculating the Final Working Capital or (ii) Seller’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer written notice that it disputes Buyer’s computation of the amount due, attaching detailed worksheets showing Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of the amount due (if any). If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve any dispute within five Business Days after the delivery of Sellers’ Representative’s written notice, Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall engage the Accounting Firm to resolve the matter. To the extent that Sellers’ Taxes are less than the amount previously taken into account as a Current Liability in calculating the Final Working Capital, Buyer shall promptly pay such difference to Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of Sellers).

(c) Any refund of Taxes paid or credited to the Company or the Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, other than a refund attributable to a carryback of losses incurred in periods after the Closing, shall be for the benefit of Sellers and shall be paid to Sellers no later than 10 Business Days after receipt of payment or credit by the Company or the Subsidiaries, but only if the Company paid such Taxes prior to Closing or such Taxes were included as a Current Liability in the calculation of Working Capital. All Tax Benefits realized by the Company or any Subsidiary and attributable to losses incurred in a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Parent and not for the account of Sellers. Amounts payable to Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.15(c) are subject to a right of setoff by Buyer for any unpaid Sellers’ Taxes.

(d) Buyer shall not (and shall not cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to) (i) amend any Tax Return filed with respect to any Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to any Straddle Period or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any such year or to any Straddle Period, in each case without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) No election shall be made under Code Section 338(g) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.16 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restriction Period”), each Seller shall not, except in capacity as an officer or Employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries, engage in or assist others in engaging in the business of engaging in the home health, home care or personal care business (collectively, the “Restricted Business”) in the states of New York, Ohio or Connecticut (collectively, the “Territory”), as a stockholder, partner, member, owner, joint venturer, investor, employee, officer, director, sole proprietor, or similar capacity (other than as a holder of not more than two percent (2%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company).

(b) During the Restriction Period, each Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or itself or on behalf of any other Person: (i) induce, persuade or encourage any customer or supplier of the Restricted Business in the Territory to cease doing business with the Company, the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof; (ii) solicit or procure the business of any Person that is a customer of the Company or the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date in the Territory in connection with any activities which are in competition with the Restricted Business; (iii) accept or procure any business from any Person that is a customer of the Company or the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date in the Territory in connection with any activities which are in competition with the Restricted Business; or (iv) supply or procure any services to any Person that is a customer of the Company or the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date in the Territory in connection with any activities which are in competition with the Restricted Business.

(c) During the Restriction Period, each Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or itself or on behalf of any other Person, (i) hire or solicit for employment any Employee of the Company, the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof who was, as of the Closing Date, an Employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries or (ii) induce, persuade or encourage any Employee of the Company, the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof who was, as of the Closing Date, an Employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries to terminate such Employee’s position with the Company, the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.16(c) shall not prevent a Seller or any of its Affiliates from employing any such Employee who contacts a Seller or any such Affiliate on such Employee’s own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by a Seller or any such Affiliate or in response to a general solicitation (including the use of a search firm) that is not directed specifically to Employees of the Company, the Subsidiaries, Buyer or any Affiliate thereof.

(d) Each Seller acknowledges that: (i) an essential part of the acquisition contemplated by this Agreement is the purchase by Buyer of goodwill, and that to protect and preserve such goodwill, the covenants set forth in this Section 6.16 are not only reasonable and necessary but required as a condition to Buyer’s consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the provisions of this Section 6.16 are the product of arm’s-length negotiations and are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s interests in and right to the ownership, use and operation of the Business from and after the Closing Date; and (iii) Buyer would be irreparably damaged if such Seller breached his or its covenants set forth in this Section 6.16. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.16 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.16 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(e) The Parties recognize that damages in the event of a breach by any Seller of any provision of this Section 6.16 would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that Buyer, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach. The existence of this right shall not preclude any other rights or remedies at law or in equity which Buyer may have relating to a breach of this Section 6.16.

6.17 Use of Corporate Name or Trade Name. After the Closing, neither any Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates will use any of the legal or trade names associated with the Company Group or the Business, or any other trade name included within the Company Intellectual Property, any derivative or variation thereof or any name similar thereto.

6.18 No Exercise of Put Options. Each Seller agrees that he or it shall not exercise any option to put its Shares back to the Company.

8.3 Claims Against Buyer. From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) shall be entitled to make a Claim for Indemnification against Buyer in respect of any and all Losses incurred by Seller Indemnitees, arising out of or resulting from:

(a) a breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article IV; and

(b) a breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

8.4 Matters Involving Third Party Claims.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to a Third Party Claim which may give rise to a Claim for Indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide a Claim for Indemnification to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to any such Third Party Claim.

(b) Any Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered no later than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim for Indemnification, to assume the conduct and control, through counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in connection therewith and the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne solely by such Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party

is reasonably contesting any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days after receipt of the Claim for Indemnification that it elects to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise such Third Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to seek indemnity therefor pursuant to this Article VIII. Any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall require the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that no such consent shall be required for any such settlement or compromise that (i) is exclusively monetary and (ii) does not contain an admission of liability on the part of any Indemnified Party.

(c) All of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and Buyer and each Seller (or a duly authorized representative of such Party) shall (and Buyer shall cause the Company Group to) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

8.5 Matters Not Involving Third Party Claims. Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees may make a claim under this Article VIII that does not involve a Third Party Claim in any amount to which they may be entitled under this Article VIII by providing a Claim for Indemnification against the appropriate Indemnifying Party promptly (but in no event more than 10 Business Days) after such Indemnified Party has notice of any Losses that may give rise to a Claim for Indemnification; provided, however, that no delay on the part of a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee in notifying such Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent) such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay. Such Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days to object to the Claim for Indemnification by delivery of a written notice of such objection to the Indemnified Party. If an objection is delivered by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith for a period of 20 Business Days from the date the Indemnified Party receives such objection prior to commencing any Proceeding with respect to such Claim for Indemnification.

8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right of Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification in respect of Buyer Losses under this Article VIII shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to assert any Claim for Indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) in respect of any Buyer Losses, or series of related Buyer Losses, until the aggregate amount of all Buyer Losses actually incurred by Buyer Indemnitees exceeds an amount equal to $275,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), in which case Buyer Indemnitees shall have the right to seek indemnification for the amount of Buyer Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(a)(i) shall not apply to Buyer Losses based upon, arising out of or resulting, directly

or indirectly, from (i) a breach of Sellers’ Fundamental Representations, or (ii) fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct;

(ii) the aggregate maximum amount available to Buyer Indemnitees for Claims for Indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) and (b) shall be limited to the amount of funds in the Indemnification Escrow Amount from time to time, and all Claims for Indemnification by Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) and (b) shall be satisfied solely out of funds from the Indemnification Escrow Amount; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(a)(ii) shall not apply to Buyer Losses based upon, arising out of or resulting, directly or indirectly, from (A) a breach of Sellers’ Fundamental Representations, or (B) fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct; and

(iii) in no event shall any Seller’s aggregate personal liability arising out of or resulting from this Agreement exceed an amount equal to such Seller’s Closing Sale Proceeds. Neither the preceding sentence nor the reference to “severally, but not jointly” in the preamble to Artice III shall be interpreted to restrict Buyer’s recourse for payment against the entire Indemnification Escrow Amount as contemplated pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) The amount of any and all Buyer Losses shall be determined net of: (i) any amounts actually recovered by Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources (such as contribution agreements or contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Buyer Losses; and (ii) any Tax Benefit realized by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, provided that such Tax Benefit is deductible currently (not a deferred tax benefit) and does not place the applicable Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, in the opinion of such indemnitee’s independent accounting firm, in an uncertain adverse tax position (i.e., doesn’t have substantial authority supporting such position or which Buyer’s accounting firm or tax counsel does not believe satisfies the “more likely than not” standard). If an Indemnified Party recovers any amount under insurance policies or other collateral sources within two years after an indemnification payment is made to him or it pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the recovered amount; provided that in no event shall the amount of such payment to the Indemnifying Party exceed the amount of such indemnification payment. Any reduction of Losses under this paragraph shall be net of any related costs and expenses, including the aggregate cost of pursuing any related insurance claims and any related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks (it being agreed that neither party shall have any obligations to seek to recover any insurance proceeds in connection with making a claim under this Article VIII).

(c) No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified with respect to Buyer Losses that were included as a liability in the calculation of Final Working Capital or was reflected in an adjustment to Company Enterprise Value pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i)(E). The representations, warranties and covenants of Sellers and the Company, and a Buyer Indemnitee’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer Indemnitee (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that Buyer Indemnitee or any of its Representatives know or should have known at any time that any such representation or warranty is, was or might

be inaccurate or by reason of Buyer Indemnitee’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article VIII.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (i) Buyer Indemnitees shall have no recourse under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document against any current or future director, manager, officer, employee, limited partner, member, shareholder or agent of an Entity Seller or any Affiliate or assignee thereof (other than any Seller and the general partner of any Seller), whether pursuant to any Proceeding, the enforcement of any assessment, or by virtue of any applicable Law; and (ii) no personal liability of any nature shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by, any current or future director, manager, officer, employee, limited partner, member, shareholder or agent of an Entity Seller or any Affiliate or assignee thereof (other than any Seller and the general partner of any Seller), in respect of any liability or obligation of an Entity Seller under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, but the preceding sentence shall not affect or limit Buyer’s right to seek payment of a Buyer Loss to the extent that amounts paid to an Entity Seller have been distributed to such Entity Seller’s equity holders nor will it reduce or affect a general partner’s liability for the obligations and liabilities of a Seller operating in limited partnership form.

(e) The indemnification rights of the Seller Indemnitees under this Article VIII shall be subject to the same limitations on indemnification applicable to Buyer Indemnitees under this Article VIII.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all materiality qualifications (whether by reference to “material”, “all material respects”, “Material Adverse Change” or “Material Adverse Effect”) contained in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be disregarded solely for purposes of determining, under this Article VIII, the amount of any Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of any such representation or warranty; provided that none of such materiality qualifications shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether any such representation or warranty has been breached.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all references to “Acquisition Date” contained in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be disregarded solely for purposes of determining, under this Article VIII, whether any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement has been breached and the amount of any Losses arising out of or resulting from a breach of any such representation or warranty.

(h) The Parties acknowledge and agree that Sellers have agreed to retain all liability arising out of or relating to the matters described in Sections 8.2(l), (m), (n) and (o). Sellers acknowledge and agree that a Buyer Indemnitee may demand payment of any Buyer Losses arising out of or relating the matters described in Sections 8.2(l), (m), (n) and (o) directly from Sellers without resort to seeking payment out of the Indemnification Escrow Amount.

8.7 Exclusive Remedy; Waiver of Certain Damages.

(a) Subject to Section 10.12, from and after the Closing, the rights of the Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties, and each Party hereby waives all other remedies, with respect to any claim or matter arising from or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.7 shall limit any Party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Party shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or willful misconduct.

(b) Subject to the final sentence of this Section 8.7(b), in no event shall any Person be liable for punitive, special, exemplary, lost profits, damage to reputation or loss of goodwill, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise (other than indemnification for amounts paid or payable to third parties in respect of any third party claim for which indemnification hereunder is otherwise required). Nothing in this Section 8.7(b) shall limit a Person’s right to recover under this Article VIII for any damages described in the preceding sentence to the extent such Person is required to pay such damages to a third party in connection with a matter for which such Person is, in all other respects, entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII.

8.8 Recourse from Escrow Fund. Except with respect to any Losses arising from, or directly or indirectly related to (i) fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct, (ii) any breach of a Sellers’ Fundamental Representation, or (iii) indemnification claims under Section 8.2 other than Sections 8.2(a) or (b), the Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be the exclusive means for Buyer Indemnitees to collect any Losses for which they are entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2 (other than third party claims alleging the occurrence of facts or circumstances that, if true, would entitle Buyer Indemnitees to indemnification for breach of a Sellers’ Fundamental Representation or under Section 8.2 other than Sections 8.2(a) or (b). With respect to any indemnification claim not limited by the immediately preceding sentence to payment out of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, Buyer Indemnitees shall recover any such Losses, with the exception of Buyer Losses relating to the matters described in Sections 8.2(l), (m), (n) and (o), (A) first, from the Indemnification Escrow Amount, to the extent of the remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, and (B) second, directly from Sellers, with each Seller’s maximum liability being equal to the amount of the Loss multiplied by such Seller’s ownership percentage set forth next to such Seller’s name in Section 8.8 of the Disclosure Schedules. All indemnifiable Losses shall apply against the Deductible Amount.

8.9 Adjustments to Final Purchase Price. All indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be deemed adjustments to the Final Purchase Price.

8.10 Parent Guaranty.

(a) Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Sellers the full and punctual performance of and compliance with all covenants, agreements and other obligations of Buyer, now or hereafter existing, under this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Documents, including the payment of all amounts due from Buyer under Article II and this Article VIII. The guaranty set forth in this Section 8.10(a) is an absolute, present, primary and continuing guaranty of performance, payment and compliance. Parent acknowledges and agrees that its liability under this Section 8.10(a) is joint and several with Buyer and, upon any breach or default by Buyer, Sellers shall not be obligated to first attempt enforcement against Buyer. Parent hereby waives any and all defenses to enforcement of the guaranty set forth in this Section 8.10(a), now existing or hereafter arising, which may be available to guarantors, sureties and other secondary parties at law or in equity. Parent further agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and related costs, incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates in enforcing the guaranty set forth in this Section 8.10(a). Parent agrees that (i) Sellers would be damaged irreparably in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 8.10(a) are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and (ii) Sellers shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, to specific performance of the terms of this Section 8.10(a), without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without posting any bond in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent’s obligations under this Section 8.10 shall be co-extensive with Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (excluding for this purpose, this Section 8.10).

(b) Parent represents and warrants to Sellers that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date: (i) Parent has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations set forth in Section 8.10(a); (ii) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms and conditions, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity; and (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and Parent’s performance under this Agreement, including Parent’s performance under Section 8.10(a), do not (x) violate any Law, Decree or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which Parent is subject, or any provision of its Organizational Documents or (y) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of any obligation under, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under, any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Parent is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject.

8.11 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate, including as a result of Sellers’ or the

Company Group’s notification of Buyer of certain matters or updating of the Disclosure Schedules pursuant to Section 6.3, or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be. But if prior to Closing, Buyer becomes aware that a representation and warranty is inaccurate, then Buyer will notify Sellers of such fact and Sellers will be provided an opportunity to cure such inaccuracy; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to notify Sellers shall not adversely affect the right of the Buyer Indemnitees indemnification rights under this Agreement or constitute a waiver of any Closing condition. Ohio SPA Transaction The Parties acknowledge that if a Closing occurs, then the indemnification obligations of the parties to the Ohio SPA transaction will be merged into this Agreement and will be governed by this Article VIII. But for purposes of this Agreement, (i) all representations and warranties in the Ohio SPA will be deemed made as of date of closing of the Ohio SPA Transaction, (ii) any outstanding indemnification claims under the Ohio SPA at as of the Closing Date will thereafter be governed by this Article VIII, and (iii) any indemnification payments made by the parties pursuant to Article VIII of the Ohio SPA will be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been made pursuant to this Article VIII, including without limitation, for purposes of the calculating and applying the limitations in Section 8.6.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement has excluded the disclosure of those items that would have been disclosed if the Company and the Sellers had treated BHC Services, Inc. as being part of the Company Group on the date of this Agreement and that such items are instead disclosed on the disclosure schedule to the Ohio SPA.

10.14 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Summer Street Capital Partners LLC as his or its true, lawful and sole agent and attorney-in-fact (in such capacity, “Sellers’ Representative”) to act for and on behalf of such Seller in all matters relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including: (i) receiving all demands and notices on or with respect to such Seller under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents; (ii) taking any action or refraining from taking any action as Sellers’ Representative may deem appropriate in its discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents; (iii) executing and delivering the Escrow Agreement and any other Ancillary Documents, any amendment to this Agreement or such Ancillary Documents, and all other instruments and documents of every kind incident to or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents; (iv) receiving any payments due from Buyer, making payment of funds, including the authorization of delivery to Buyer of all or any portion of the funds from the Escrow Account or the delivery of indemnification payments (if any) payable by Sellers to any Buyer Indemnitee in satisfaction of an indemnification claim; (v) taking any action on behalf of Sellers or any individual Seller that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion, in connection with negotiating or entering into settlements, resolutions and compromises with respect to the adjustments or payments contemplated by Section 2.5; (vi) accepting notices on behalf of Sellers or any individual Seller in accordance with Section 10.6; and (vii) granting any consent or approval on behalf of Sellers

Each Seller shall be fully bound by the acts, decisions and agreements of Sellers’ Representative taken and done pursuant to the authority herein granted, and such Seller hereby confirms all that Sellers’ Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as Sellers’ Representative. The appointment of Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Section 10.14: (x) is coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable, and (to the maximum extent permitted by Law) shall survive the dissolution, termination, death, incompetency or bankruptcy of any Seller and shall be binding on his or its beneficiaries, heirs, representatives and successors; and (y) may be exercised by Sellers’ Representative by signing separately as Sellers’ Representative for each Seller or, after listing all Sellers executing an instrument, by signing as Sellers’ Representative for all of them. Buyer and all other Persons may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of Sellers’ Representative in all matters referred to in this Agreement.

(b) Each Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and to save and hold harmless Sellers’ Representative from any liability incurred by Sellers’ Representative based upon or arising out of any act, whether of omission or commission, of Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the authority herein granted, other than acts, whether of omission or commission, of Sellers’ Representative that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct in the exercise by Sellers’ Representative of the authority granted by this Section 10.14. Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of Sellers’ Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject Sellers’ Representative to liability to any Seller.

(c) Sellers’ Representative, or any successor hereafter appointed, may resign and shall be discharged of his or its duties hereunder upon the appointment of a successor Sellers’ Representative, as hereinafter provided. In case of such resignation, or in the event of the inability to act of Sellers’ Representative, a successor may be appointed by Sellers’ Representative. Each such successor Sellers’ Representative shall have all the power, authority, rights and privileges hereby conferred upon the original Sellers’ Representative, and the term “Sellers’ Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include such successor Sellers’ Representative.

(d) In connection with the performance of its responsibilities as Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, at the cost and expense of Sellers, such attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, as Sellers’ Representative determines necessary or desirable.

(e) Any costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other advisors, if applicable) incurred by Sellers’ Representative in performing its obligations under this Agreement in excess of Sellers’ Representative Expenses shall be borne pro rata by Sellers in accordance with their respective common equity ownership and each Seller shall pay Sellers’ Representative such Seller’s share of such costs and expenses within 10 days after delivery to such Seller by Sellers’ Representative of written notice thereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Sellers’ Representative may withhold and retain from any payments to be made to Sellers such amount or amounts as it shall

determine are necessary to pay all known (or reasonably anticipated) expenses that are required to be paid or borne by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, or are otherwise incurred by Sellers’ Representative in the performance of his or its duties under this Agreement (including all out of pocket expenses) and shall pay all such expenses out of the amount or amounts so withheld.

(f) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by each Seller, Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled to any compensation for the performance of services under this Agreement, but shall be entitled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to Sellers’ Representative Expenses and to payment or reimbursement by Sellers of all expenses in excess of Sellers’ Representative Expenses incurred as Sellers’ Representative. Neither the Company Group nor Buyer will have any obligation to pay or reimburse Sellers’ Representative for any of its expenses.

10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

10.16 Public Statements. Prior to the Closing, Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any statements to Employees of the Company Group) and, prior to the Closing, no press release or other public statements may be issued without the joint consent of Buyer and Sellers; provided, however, that Buyer and its Affiliates may issue press releases or make public statements without Sellers’ consent to the extent Buyer or its Affiliates are required by applicable Law, as advised by legal counsel.
