2.3 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly

2.6 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, Company or any Securityholder:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Shares of Company Common Stock owned by Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of capital stock of Merger Sub are so converted shall be the only shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.

(c) Conversion of Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and (ii) shares that are Dissenting Shares) will cease to be an existing and issued share and shall be converted, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive the amount per share of the Merger Consideration (including with respect to the Closing Merger Consideration and amounts paid after the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) as set forth on the Distribution Schedule as payable with respect to Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable.

2.7 Settlement of Company Options and Warrants.

(a) Effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Warrant, whether or not then exercisable, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Warrant, that amount of the Merger Consideration as set forth on the Distribution Schedule, which amount shall take into account the applicable per share exercise price applicable to each Warrant (the “Warrant Merger Consideration”). Upon and after the Effective Time, all Warrants shall expire and each holder of any certificate representing any such Warrants shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right to receive the Warrant Merger Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any such Warrant be deemed to have been exercised.

the right to receive the i3V Restricted Stock at Closing, such i3V Restricted Stock to be allocated among the Optionholders in accordance with Annex B. Company shall have taken all actions necessary to cause the Company EIP to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.

2.8 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6(c), without interest thereon. Subject to Section 9.2(h), following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible to the holders of Dissenting Shares in accordance with the DGCL.

(b) Following the Closing, Buyer and Representative will mutually prepare a written statement in form mutually acceptable to Buyer and Representative (the “Notice of Appraisal Rights”), and, no later than five (5) days following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver the Notice of Appraisal Rights to each of the Stockholders who has not then signed the Stockholder Consent notifying each such Stockholder of (i) such Stockholder Consent, which notice will be in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, and (ii) such Stockholder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL, which notice will be in accordance with Section 262(b) of the DGCL. The Notice of Appraisal Rights and Letter of Transmittal provided in accordance with Section 2.9(d) will be delivered to such Stockholder as part of the same transmittal.

(c) Buyer shall provide Representative prompt written notice of any demands received by the Surviving Corporation or Buyer for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Surviving Corporation that relates to such demand, and Representative shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Surviving Corporation shall not make any payments with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

2.9 Surrender and Payment.

(a) At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and, subject to Sections 2.6(c) and 2.7, each Stockholder and each holder of record of a Company Option or Warrant shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of Company or a holder of Company Options or Warrants.

(b) The total merger consideration payable by Buyer is the Merger Consideration. The Closing Merger Consideration will be paid in accordance with Section 2.9(c). Any positive Final Adjustment Calculation will be payable by Buyer in accordance with Section 3.6. Any released Aggregate Escrow Amount will be payable by Escrow Agent following the Closing in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 9.7. Any Contingent Consideration will be payable by Buyer in accordance with Article IV.

(c) At the Closing, as more specifically provided in the Funds Flow Statement (as defined below), including the accounts designated therein, (i) Buyer shall pay to the Exchange Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds the (A) Closing Merger Consideration, less (B) the Transaction Bonus Plan Closing Amount (the “Net Closing Merger Consideration”), (ii) Buyer shall pay the Aggregate Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (iii) Buyer shall pay the Transaction Bonus Plan Closing Amount to Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds, which will thereafter be paid by the Surviving Corporation to the Transaction Bonus Plan Participants in accordance with Section 2.13, (iv) Buyer shall pay the Estimated Transaction Expenses to the payees thereof reflected on the Funds Flow Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (v) Buyer shall pay the Estimated Indebtedness to the holders thereof as reflected on the Fund Flow Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (vi) Buyer shall pay the Representative Expense Fund to Representative in accordance with Article XI hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that the employer portion of payroll tax component of the Transaction Bonus Plan Closing Amount delivered to the Surviving Corporation at Closing is an estimate, and if the actual Transaction Bonus Plan Closing Amount (including employer payroll taxes actually payable therewith) differs from the Transaction Bonus Plan Closing Amount delivered to the Surviving Corporation at Closing, then (x) in the event the actual Transaction Bonus Closing Amount is greater than the estimate delivered to the Surviving Corporation at Closing due to an under-estimate of employer payroll tax actually payable therewith, Representative, will, upon receipt of written documentation from Surviving Corporation evidencing the employer payroll tax amount, promptly deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay any such payroll Taxes out of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund or (y) in the event the actual Transaction Bonus Closing Amount is less than the estimate delivered to the Surviving Corporation at Closing due to an over-estimate of employer payroll tax actually payable therewith, then Buyer shall pay the amount of such difference to the Escrow Agent which amount will be added to and included within the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund.

(d) Promptly following the Closing, but in any event within five (5) days following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation or Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of Company Capital Stock (other than any such holder that has previously

executed and delivered a Letter of Transmittal) a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Letter of Transmittal”) (which Letter of Transmittal shall be included in the same transmittal as the Notice of Appraisal Rights delivered in accordance with Section 2.8(b)) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates formerly representing the shares of Company Capital Stock held such holder (each, a “Certificate”) (and/or, in the case of any lost or damaged certificates formerly representing any shares of Company Capital Stock held by such holder, an affidavit of lost stock certificate), in exchange for the applicable portion of Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6(c) and the Distribution Schedule. The Exchange Agent shall, no later than the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) if received following the Closing Date, three (3) Business Days after receipt of a Certificate (and/or, as applicable, an affidavit of lost stock certificate), together with a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, pay to the Stockholder a cash amount in accordance with Section 2.6(c) and the Distribution Schedule. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(d). Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.6(c). If after the Effective Time, any Certificate (and/or, as applicable, an affidavit of lost stock certificate) is presented to the Exchange Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.9.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate, any Company Option or Warrant or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property laws, escheat law or similar Law.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Buyer, upon demand at such time that any payment in respect of such Dissenting Shares is required to be made by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the DGCL.

2.14 Chargebacks and Chargeback Recoveries.

(a) Within forty five (45) Business Days after November 30, 2020, Buyer shall deliver a statement (the “Chargeback Statement”) to Representative setting forth the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount (as defined below) for the period beginning on June 1, 2019 and ending on November 30, 2020, and whether the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount is payable by or to Buyer. No Party shall have any liability to any other Party hereunder for any Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amounts which arise on or after November 30, 2020.

(b) Representative shall be entitled to review the Chargeback Statement and any documents relating to and used in the calculation of the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount shown thereon. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Chargeback Statement, Representative has not given Buyer written notice of its objection to such Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of Representative’s objection), then the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount and Buyer’s calculation of such Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. If Representative gives Buyer such notice of objection within the thirty (30)-day period, and if Representative and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount or Buyer’s calculation of the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of Representative’s objection notice, Representative and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to the Independent Accountant, for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (A) Representative and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss issues with the Independent Accountant; (B) the determination by the Independent Accountant, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Representative and Buyer within thirty (30) days of the submission to the Independent

Accountant of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in calculation of the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount; and (C) Representative and Buyer will each bear fifty percent 50% of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant for such determination.

(c) In the event that the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.14(b) (and subject to Section 2.14(e)), is a negative number and is therefore payable in such amount by Buyer, Buyer shall pay the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of all of the Stockholders, the amount of such Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount payable by Buyer within three (3) Business Days of the final determination of such Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount pursuant to Section 2.14(b). In the event that the Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.14(b) (and subject to Section 2.14(e)), is a positive number and is therefore is payable in such amount to Buyer, then Buyer shall be entitled to recover such amount and, within three (3) Business Days of the final determination of such Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount, Representative shall direct that such amount be paid out of the Chargeback Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (to the extent of available funds therein).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount” equals (i) any Chargebacks that relate to or arise out of a transaction entered into interchange on or prior to the Closing Date, including any Chargebacks with respect to any prior period for which loss has been recognized (“Pre-Closing Event Chargebacks”) to the extent the merchant reserves for the relevant merchant or independent sales organization (“ISO”) have been depleted for that particular merchant or no longer exist (not including any amounts depleted as a result of Chargebacks that are received that arise out of a transaction entered into interchange after the Closing Date), less (ii) any amounts with respect to such Pre-Closing Event Chargebacks for which the relevant merchant or ISO has reimbursed the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries following the Closing. For these purposes, merchant reserves for the relevant merchant or ISO will be used to pay Chargebacks on a first in, first out basis so that merchant reserves are used to pay the Chargeback that relates to the earliest occurring transaction first before paying Chargebacks that relate to later occurring transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Net Chargeback/Chargeback Recovery Amount payable to Buyer under this Agreement shall be payable solely out of the Chargeback Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement to the extent of available funds therein.

ARTICLE III – PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT

3.1 Prior to the Closing, Company shall have prepared and delivered to Buyer an estimated closing statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) that contains (except, in the case of clauses (b), (c) and (d), to the extent such information is otherwise included in the Funds Flow Statement) a good faith estimate, in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Practices and Procedures, of (a) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (b) the amount of Indebtedness of the Company Group Members calculated through and including the Closing that will be unpaid immediately prior to the Closing

(the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (c) the Transaction Expenses of the Company Group Members calculated through and including the Closing that will be unpaid immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), and (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company Group Members as of the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Cash”). If (i) the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be increased by such excess amount or (ii) the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, then the Closing Merger Consideration shall be decreased by such excess amount (such increase or decrease, the “Estimated Closing Adjustment”).

3.2 No later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation, in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Practices and Procedures, of (a) the Net Working Capital (the “Net Working Capital Calculation”), (b) the amount of Indebtedness of each Company Group Member calculated through and including the Closing and unpaid immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Indebtedness”), (c) the Transaction Expenses calculated through and including the Closing and unpaid immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”), (d) the Cash and Cash Equivalents as of the Closing (“Closing Cash”), and (e) Buyer’s proposed calculation of the Adjustment Calculation.

3.3 On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Representative, Representative may give Buyer a written notice stating in reasonable detail any and all of Representative’s objections (an “Objection Notice”) to the Closing Statement or the determination of the Net Working Capital Calculation, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Transaction Expenses, the Closing Cash or the Adjustment Calculation as determined by Buyer. During such thirty (30) calendar-day period, Buyer will provide Representative and its accountants reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to (a) review the financial books and records of each Company Group Member, and (b) the employees and other representatives of Buyer and Company Group Members who were responsible for the preparation of the Closing Statement or any items therein to respond to questions relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement, and to allow Representative to determine the accuracy of Buyer’s calculation of the items set forth on the Closing Statement. Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of the objections and the reasonable basis or bases therefor. Any determination set forth on the Closing Statement to which Representative does not specifically object in the Objection Notice shall be deemed accepted and shall be final and binding upon the Parties upon delivery of the Objection Notice. The failure by Representative to deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute Representative’s acceptance of the Adjustment Calculation, which shall be final and binding on Representative and the Securityholders for all purposes of this Agreement.

3.4 Following Buyer’s receipt of any Objection Notice, Representative and Buyer shall attempt to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Representative and Buyer fail to agree on any of Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice within

thirty (30) days after Buyer receives the Objection Notice, then an independent, certified public accountant located in Nashville, Tennessee reasonably acceptable to Representative and Buyer who, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, will have had no prior connections, business relationships, personal relationships, or conflicts with any of the parties hereto or others that are in any way participating in the negotiation, discussion, or closing of the Contemplated Transactions (the “Independent Accountant”) shall make the final, binding determination, absent fraud or Manifest Error, regarding the proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice that are not resolved by Representative and Buyer (the “Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items”). Buyer, on the one hand, and Representative, on the other hand, each shall provide the Independent Accountant with their respective determinations of the Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination of the Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items and the resultant Final Net Working Capital Calculation (defined below), Final Indebtedness (defined below), Final Transaction Expenses (defined below), Final Closing Cash (as defined below) and Final Adjustment Calculation which determination shall be final and binding on Representative and Buyer. The determination of any of the Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items by the Independent Accountant shall be within, and limited by, the range comprised of the respective determination of each of Buyer’s and Representative’s calculation with respect to such Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items. The determination of the Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items by the Independent Accountant shall be based on whether such Adjustment Calculation Disputed Items have been calculated in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting material provided by Buyer and Representative in response to the Independent Accountants’ request or otherwise. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be split equally between Representative and Buyer. Any of the Parties may require that the Independent Accountant enter into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information provided to the Independent Accountant under this Article III. As used herein, “Final Net Working Capital Calculation” means the Net Working Capital Calculation as ultimately determined in accordance with Section 3.3 or this Section 3.4, as applicable, “Final Indebtedness” means the amount of Indebtedness as ultimately determined in accordance with Section 3.3 or this Section 3.4, as applicable, and “Final Transaction Expenses” means the amount of Transaction Expenses as ultimately determined in accordance with Section 3.3 or this Section 3.4, as applicable and “Final Closing Cash” means the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents as of the Closing, as ultimately determined in accordance with Section 3.3 or this Section 3.4, as applicable.

3.5 If the Final Adjustment Calculation is a negative number after final determination pursuant to this Article III, Representative and Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Adjustment Calculation, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Buyer, an amount in cash equal to the Final Adjustment Calculation. If the Final Adjustment Calculation is a negative number and the amount of the Final Adjustment Calculation is greater than the amount held in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, then Indemnifying Holders shall be severally (but not jointly and severally) liable in proportion to their Indemnifying Percentages as set forth on Annex A for payment of any negative Final

Adjustment Calculation in excess of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund and, for clarification purposes, any payments by the Indemnifying Holders under this Section 3.5 shall not be considered Damages for purposes of Article IX, provided that, for clarity, any amounts paid by the Indemnifying Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be counted against, and shall reduce dollar for dollar, the Indemnifying Holder Cap.

3.6 If the Final Adjustment Calculation is a positive number, Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Adjustment Calculation, deposit with the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Securityholders in accordance with the Distribution Schedule, the amount of the Final Adjustment Calculation.

ARTICLE IV – CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

4.1 Contingent Consideration.

(a) Securityholders may receive additional consideration (the “Contingent Consideration”) from Buyer based on the post-Closing performance of the Company Group Members (the “Acquired Company”) in accordance with this Article IV. Within five (5) calendar days following the final determination of achievement of a Performance Threshold for any Measurement Period in accordance with Section 4.2, Buyer shall deposit the applicable amount of Contingent Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds with the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Securityholders in accordance with the Distribution Schedule and, in the event that prior to the date of such payment, the Indemnifying Holders have paid Damages to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IX, subject to the assignment obligations in favor of the Indemnifying Holders set forth on Annex A; provided, however, that in the event there is any Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice (as defined below), and any amount of Contingent Consideration would be payable based on the achievement of the Performance Threshold as reflected in the Section 4.2 Statement previously provided by Buyer in accordance with Section 4.2 below, Buyer shall pay to the Exchange Agent the applicable amount of Contingent Consideration reflected in the Section 4.2 Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) calendar days following the delivery of the Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice, and shall pay any remaining Contingent Consideration as may finally be determined to be payable hereunder within five (5) calendar days following the final determination of the achievement of the Performance Threshold for such Measurement Period in accordance with Section 4.2. Defined terms used in this Article IV but not defined herein or in Schedule 1 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit B. The payment of Contingent Consideration for the benefit of any Stockholder is subject in all cases to the delivery by such Stockholder of a Letter of Transmittal (or, as applicable, an affidavit of lost stock certificate) in accordance with Section 2.9.

(b) If, as of the last day of the Measurement Period 1, the Performance Metric generated by the Acquired Company during Measurement Period 1 exceeded the Performance Threshold (such excess, the “Period 1 Overage”), then Securityholders will be entitled to be paid aggregate Contingent Consideration in an amount equal to the product of (i) (x) the Period 1 Overage divided by (y) [****] multiplied by (ii) $20,000,000. For example, if the Period 1

Overage is $[****], the Contingent Consideration payable with respect to Measurement Period 1 would be $[****], calculated as follows: ([****]/[****]) = [****] x $20,000,000 = $[****].

(c) If, as of the last day of the Measurement Period 2, the Performance Metric generated by the Acquired Company during the Measurement Period 2 exceeded the Performance Threshold (such excess, the “Period 2 Overage”), then the Securityholders will be entitled to be paid aggregate Contingent Consideration in an amount equal to the product of (i) (x) [the Period 2 Overage less any Period 1 Overage] divided by (y) [****] multiplied by (ii) $20,000,000. For example, if the Period 2 Overage is $[****] and the Period 1 Overage was $[****], the Contingent Consideration payable with respect to Measurement Period 2 would be $[****], calculated as follows: ([****]/[****]) = [****] x $20,000,000 = $[****].

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the aggregate Contingent Consideration payable ever exceed $20,000,000 (the “Maximum Earnout Amount”). For example, if $20,000,000 of Contingent Consideration were earned with respect to Measurement Period 1, no additional Contingent Consideration could be earned in Measurement Period 2.

4.2 Contingent Consideration Dispute Resolution. Within 90 days after the end of any Measurement Period, Buyer shall deliver a written statement (the “Section 4.2 Statement”) for such Measurement Period setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Performance Metric, in reasonable detail, during such Measurement Period to Representative. Following receipt of the Section 4.2 Statement, Buyer will, for the purpose of allowing Representative to determine the accuracy of Buyer’s calculation of the items set forth on the Section 4.2 Statement and that such calculations were prepared in accordance with this Agreement, provide Representative and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to (a) review the financial books and records of the Acquired Company and its Affiliates, and (b) the employees and other representatives of the Acquired Company and its Affiliates who were responsible for the preparation of the Section 4.2 Statement or any items therein to respond to questions relating to the preparation of the Section 4.2 Statement. If Representative disputes Buyer’s determination with respect to the amount of the Performance Metric for such Measurement Period and/or the amount of Contingent Consideration which is payable in connection therewith, Representative shall notify Buyer in writing by delivery of a written notice within thirty (30) days of receiving the Section 4.2 Statement (a “Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice”), which Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. In the event of such a dispute, Representative and Buyer shall work in good faith to resolve the dispute. If, after fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery of the Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice, a dispute still exists, such dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution in accordance of the terms of this Article IV. The Independent Accountant shall determine the amount of the Performance Metric and the extent to which the Contingent Consideration has been earned for such Measurement Period. The determination made by the Independent Accountant shall be as an expert, not as an arbiter and, absent fraud or Manifest Error, such determination shall be final and binding. The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be within, and limited by, the range comprised of the respective determination of the amount of the Performance Metric as

determined by Buyer in the Section 4.2 Statement and Representative in the Contingent Consideration Dispute Notice. The Independent Accountant shall make its determination based solely on presentations and supporting materials provided by Buyer and Representative in response to the Independent Accountant’s requests or otherwise. Any expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accountant shall be borne 50% by Representative and 50% by Buyer. Buyer and Representative shall make available to the Independent Accountant such books, records, work papers and other information as the Independent Accountant may request and that are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss issues with the Independent Accountant (provided, that Buyer and Representative shall not, and shall each cause its representatives not to, engage in any ex parte communications with the Independent Accountant during the term of its engagement).

4.3 Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Article IV, (a) in the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of this Article IV relating to the calculation of the Performance Metric and the extent to which the Contingent Consideration has been earned for any Measurement Period (a “Calculation Dispute”), such controversy, dispute or claim will be resolved in accordance with Section 4.2, and (b) in the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of this Article IV that is not a Calculation Dispute, Buyer or Representative, as applicable, will be entitled to bring a claim in accordance with Section 12.6.

4.4 Operation of Business. Subject to Section 4.5, Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, Buyer has the absolute right to operate the business of the Acquired Company following the Closing in any manner as Buyer deems appropriate, in Buyer’s sole discretion, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer (a) shall not take any action or fail to take any action with the primary purpose of causing any Contingent Consideration payable hereunder to be reduced or not be earned, including, without limitation, to move any revenue or expense either into or out of any Measurement Period in a manner that would adversely affect the amount of the Contingent Consideration payable to the Securityholders hereunder and (b) during the Applicable Period, shall cause the Acquired Company to carry on and conduct its business in good faith. Representative acknowledges that any Contingent Consideration is speculative and is subject to numerous factors outside the control of Buyer. Representative will not provide any assurances to Securityholders with respect to the Contingent Consideration.

4.5 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, during the Applicable Period, Buyer (except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Representative):

(a) shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the Acquired Company, whether by asset purchase, equity purchase, merger, combination, joint venture or otherwise, to any third party (an “Acquired Company Sale”), or otherwise sell or dispose of any assets of the Acquired Company outside of the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that Buyer may complete an Acquired Company Sale during the Applicable Period in the event that Buyer pays

the Maximum Earnout Amount in cash to the Representative concurrently with the closing of the Acquired Company Sale, provided, further, that for purposes of clarity, a sale of i3V or Guarantor that results in an ultimate change in control of the Acquired Company shall not be deemed an Acquired Company Sale (it being acknowledged and agreed that, in the event of any such sale of i3V or Guarantor, the provisions of this Article IV will continue in effect in accordance with the terms hereof);

(b) shall not substantially cease or discontinue operations of the Acquired Company;

(c) shall not (i) merge or consolidate the Acquired Company with, or otherwise distribute, contribute, transfer or assign the assets of the Acquired Company to, any Person within the Buyer Group, or (ii) cause the Acquired Company to acquire in any business combination transaction, by equity purchase, merger, consolidation, asset sale or otherwise, any Person, whether or not engaged in a business similar to or related to the Business; and

(d) shall maintain separate books and records necessary to calculate the Performance Metric during each of the Measurement Periods.

4.6 Employment of P. Christians. During the Applicable Period, as long as Xxxx Christians (“Christians”) is employed by the Buyer Group or the Acquired Company, Buyer shall cause the business, activities and affairs of the Acquired Company to be managed primarily by Christians (such position, the “Acquired Company Executive”). If Christians’ employment with the Buyer Group or the Acquired Company, as applicable, terminates for any reason during the Applicable Period (or, if applicable, any Successor Executive (as defined below)), Buyer and Representative shall mutually determine a successor Acquired Company Executive (the “Successor Executive”) as soon as reasonably practicable.

4.7 Reasonable Access. During the Applicable Period, for the purpose of allowing Representative to determine the Acquired Company’s progress made against the Performance Metric, Buyer shall permit Representative, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, but no more than twice during any calendar year, to visit and inspect any of the properties, books, records and other materials of the Acquired Company (and to make copies thereof), and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Acquired Company with personnel of the Acquired Company and Buyer Group with responsibility for the Acquired Company.

(iv) other than in connection with breaches of Fundamental Representations, the liability of Buyer to Seller Indemnified Parties for Damages pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall not exceed $7,250,000.

(c) For the purposes of calculating Damages to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled under this Article IX, such Damages shall be reduced by the actual net reduction in the income Taxes of any Buyer Indemnified Parties resulting from the deduction, if any, attributable to any such Damages, in the taxable year such Damages are recognized for income Tax purposes, as calculated on a with and without basis.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the sole remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (other than in connection with Fraud, breaches of Fundamental Representations, Special Representations or any Excluded Representation) will be to bring a claim against the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(e) In the event of any claims by Buyer with respect to Direct Indemnification Matters pursuant to clause (2) of Section 9.2, subject to Section 9.4(k) and the other limitations set forth herein, each Indemnifying Holder will be responsible for such claims in proportion to the Indemnifying Percentage of such Indemnifying Holder on a several basis (and not a joint and several basis) as set forth on Annex A. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will any Indemnifying Holder (i) in the case of the Sponsor

Securityholders, have indemnification liability with respect to Direct Indemnification Matters pursuant to clause (2) of Section 9.2 in excess of the amounts set forth with respect to each such Sponsor Securityholder on Annex A), and (ii) in the case of any Transaction Bonus Plan Participant, have indemnification liability pursuant to clause (2) of Section 9.2 in excess of the amounts set forth with respect to each such Transaction Bonus Plan Participant as set forth on Annex A. In addition, the aggregate indemnification liability of all Indemnifying Holders with respect to Direct Indemnification Matters pursuant to clause (2) of Section 9.2, plus all amounts paid by the Indemnifying Holders pursuant to Section 3.5, shall not exceed the aggregate amount set forth on Annex A (the “Indemnifying Holder Cap”).

(f) The indemnification liability of Buyer to Seller Indemnified Parties for Damages pursuant to Section 9.3 shall not exceed an amount equal to the Closing Cash Purchase Price.

(g) In determining the amount of Damages in respect of a claim under this Article IX, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any third-party insurance proceeds actually received (including, in the case of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, proceeds received under the Representations and Warranties Policy) (net of collection expenses, including any fees and expenses of counsel) (the “Net Insurance Proceeds”) by an Indemnified Party making such claim with respect to such Damages. In addition the event any Net Insurance Proceeds are received after an indemnification claim is paid pursuant to this Article IX, then the amount of such recovery shall be applied first, to refund any payments made by the Indemnifying Party which would not have been so paid had such recovery been obtained prior to such payment and, second, any excess to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Buyer Indemnified Party may at any time be entitled to recover under the Representations and Warranties Policy in respect of any matter otherwise giving rise to indemnifiable Damages hereunder (whether before or after any indemnification payment has been made hereunder to the Buyer Indemnified Persons), Buyer (a) shall promptly notify Representative and provide such information as Representative may reasonably request relating to such right of recovery and the steps taken or to be taken by Buyer or its Affiliates in connection therewith, (b) shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, submit such indemnification claim under the Representations and Warranties Policy, up to the R&W Limit Amount, (c) shall keep Representative reasonably informed of the progress of any action taken in respect thereof, and (d) shall not be entitled to bring any indemnification claim hereunder for breaches of Fundamental Representations or other matters which may be indemnifiable under the Representations and Warranties Policy (but excluding, for purposes of clarification, the Excluded Representations) in excess of the R&W Retention Amount until such time that Buyer has (i) submitted such claim under the Representations and Warranties Policy in accordance with the terms of clause (b) above and (ii) either (x) recovered proceeds under the Representations and Warranties Policy or (y) received a written denial of coverage issued by the insurance carrier of the Representations and Warranties Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Party be required to contest any denial of coverage issued by the insurance carrier of the Representations and Warranties Policy. Following the Closing Date, Buyer shall not amend, modify or terminate the Representations and Warranties Policy without the written consent of Representative, and shall not otherwise knowingly take any action adversely affecting

coverage under the Representations and Warranties Policy. For avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse any Net Insurance Proceeds under the Representations and Warranties Policy to the extent Buyer has incurred Damages hereunder that are less than the R&W Retention Amount.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX for any Damages to the extent such Damages were treated as a Current Liability in determining Net Working Capital.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the sole remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(c) (Chargebacks) will be to bring a claim against the Chargeback Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(j) Buyer will have no right to make any claim against the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, except for any claim made pursuant to Article III. In addition, Buyer will have no right to make any claim against the Chargeback Escrow Fund, except for any claims brought pursuant to Section 9.2(c). In addition, Buyer will have no right to make any claim against the Employee Payments Escrow Fund, except for any claims made pursuant to Section 7.7(b).

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Buyer has an indemnification claim under this Article IX (excluding (x) any claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (other than in connection with breaches of Fundamental Representations, Special Representations and Excluded Representations), which will be addressed as provided in Section 9.4(d), and (y) any claim under Section 9.2(c), which will be addressed as provided in Section 9.4(i)):

(i) Buyer’s first recourse will be to collect from and against the Indemnification Escrow Fund;

(ii) thereafter, with respect to Direct Indemnification Matters and to the extent that the Indemnification Escrow Fund has been distributed or depleted at the time of such claim, subject to Section 9.4(g) and Section 9.8, Buyer shall have the option (unless required under Section 9.8) to first exercise its right of set-off against any Contingent Consideration subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 9.8; and

(iii) thereafter, with respect to Direct Indemnification Matters, subject to Section 9.4(g) and Section 9.8, Buyer shall be entitled to recover directly from the Indemnifying Holders pursuant to clause (2) of Section 9.2, subject to the terms and limitations set forth herein, including Annex A.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties will not be indemnified and held harmless for any Taxes (or any other adverse consequences directly related to any such Taxes) of any Person attributable to any tax period that ends after the Closing (other than the portion of a Straddle Period that relates to the

Pre-Closing Tax Period) in connection with the lost benefit of any credit, deduction or loss for Tax purposes which would have been available to reduce or otherwise offset Taxes of any Buyer Indemnified Party (including following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) on the basis of any breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 5.17.

9.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Whenever any indemnification claim shall arise in favor of a Person entitled to indemnification under this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Person giving the indemnity (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing as soon as reasonably practicable but at least within thirty (30) days of (i) such Indemnified Party receiving actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for such indemnification claim, or, (ii) in the case of a third-party claim, receipt of a written third-party assertion of a claim or liability. Failure to send such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder, unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s defense of the claims that are the subject of the written notice, which notice given by the Indemnified Party will specify the nature, circumstances and amount of such claim and set forth the Indemnified Party’s calculation of the Damages incurred (and, if possible, expected to be incurred) by the applicable Indemnified Party with respect thereto (in each case, estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible), and (in the case of any third-party claim) include copies of all notices and documents (including Court papers) received by the Indemnified Party to date relating to the third-party claim (other than those notices and documents separately addressed to the Indemnifying Party).

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the option to assume the defense of any third-party claim and control the defense, settlement and prosecution of any litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall fully and reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in any such litigation defense, settlement or prosecution. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to reasonably approve defense counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Action or claim, and employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Action or claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Action, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Action, provided, that, if there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required to the extent such fees and expenses are otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. Anything in this Section 9.5(b) notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise or discharge, (i) injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or such settlement, compromise or discharge involves any finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law, or (ii) such settlement, compromise, or

discharge does not include as an unconditional term thereof a written irrevocable and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such matter. All Parties agree to cooperate as reasonably necessary in the defense of such matters, including making available records, information, personnel and testimony, and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals relating to such third party claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such third-party claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Holders, shall, at its election, exclusively control and direct the defense, settlement and prosecution of the Section 9.2(k) Matter through attorneys selected by the Representative, provided that Representative shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments that arise in connection with such matter.

(c) After the giving of any notice of a claim pursuant to this Section 9.5, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Section 9.5 shall be determined (i) by the written agreement between Buyer and Representative, (ii) a final award under Section 12.6, or (iii) by a final judgment or decree of any Court of competent jurisdiction (each of the foregoing, collectively, a “Final Determination”). The judgment or decree of a Court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

(d) For purposes of this Section 9.5, (i) if any Buyer Indemnified Party comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to the Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) will be deemed to refer to Representative and (ii) if any Seller Indemnified Party comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to the Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) will be deemed to refer to Buyer.

9.6 Disregarding Materiality Exceptions. For purposes of (a) calculating the dollar amount of Damages to which an Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article IX or (b) determining whether a breach of any such representation or warranty has occurred, in either case the terms “material,” “materiality,” and other qualifiers, modifiers or limitations shall be disregarded; provided, that the foregoing clause (b) shall not apply to such determinations relating to breaches of Fundamental Representations, Excluded Representations or Special Representations; and provided further, however, that for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall be given effect for purposes of Section 5.7, and the phrases “Material Contracts,” “Material Customer,” “Material Referral Source,” and “Material Vendors” will be given effect when used in Article V.

9.7 Indemnification Escrow Procedures. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, if any Buyer Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification against the funds available in the Indemnification Escrow Fund (an “Escrow Claim”), Buyer shall, as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of such Escrow Claim but, in any event, within thirty (30) days of such awareness in accordance with Section 9.5(a) and prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), notify Representative and

the Escrow Agent of such Escrow Claim (an “Escrow Claim Notice”) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement specifying the nature, circumstances and amount of such Escrow Claim, setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Damages incurred (and, if possible, expected to be incurred) by the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party with respect thereto (in each case, estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible). Subject to the eighteen (18)-month limitation set forth above, the failure by Buyer to promptly deliver an Escrow Claim Notice under this Section 9.7 will not adversely affect the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party’s right to recovery from the Indemnification Escrow Fund except to the extent that any Securityholder is prejudiced thereby.

9.8 Right of Setoff. In the event of a Final Determination that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under this Article IX, Buyer shall have the right to offset any such amount against any Contingent Consideration otherwise due and payable by Buyer, provided, that (i) if, as of the date of such Final Determination, any Contingent Consideration has been finally determined to be due pursuant to Article IV but has not been paid as of such date, then Buyer shall be required to (as opposed to having the option to) first offset any such amount of Damages to which a Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled against any such Contingent Consideration (up to the amount of the Contingent Consideration) otherwise due and payable by Buyer, and (ii) if, any indemnification claim of Buyer remains outstanding at or following such time that a Section 4.2 Statement has been previously delivered under Section 4.2 but no final determination of achievement of a Performance Threshold has been made with respect to such Section 4.2 Statement, then Buyer shall be required to defer the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Section 9.4(k)(iii) until final determination of achievement of a Performance Threshold has been made and if any Contingent Consideration is owed, then Buyer shall be required to offset any Damages in accordance with the preceding clause (i) before exercising any further remedies under Section 9.4(k)(iii). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to the limitations set forth herein (including Section 9.4(d) but not including Section 9.4(e)), the entire balance of any Contingent Consideration otherwise due and payable by Buyer hereunder shall be subject to the right of setoff described in this Section 9.8 and, for purposes of clarity, the right of setoff against the Contingent Consideration shall not be limited to the Indemnifying Holder Cap. For purposes of this Section 9.8, the total Contingent Consideration available for setoff hereunder shall be calculated without taking into account the amount of Damages to be setoff.

9.9 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification and related provisions in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy for any Damages (including any Damages from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) arising out of or based upon the matters set forth in this Agreement or related to the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that no limitation set forth in this Agreement, including the limitations set forth in this Article IX, shall limit (a) any remedy that may be available to Buyer, Representative or any Securityholder or any other Person against the other or against any other party pursuant to any employment or restrictive covenant agreements or other agreements (other than the Escrow Agreement, which is subject to the indemnification provisions set forth herein) entered into at Closing pursuant to the terms thereof,

(b) any remedy that may be available against any other Party on account of Fraud committed by such Party, (c) any Party’s right at any time to seek injunctive or equitable relief in accordance with Section 12.12 hereof, and (d) the rights of the Parties in connection with the dispute resolution processes contemplated by Sections 2.14, Article III, Article IV and 7.1(b), as applicable.

9.10 Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for income Tax purposes unless a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction requires such payment to be treated differently.

9.11 Mitigation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages in accordance with applicable Law. Upon the payment of any indemnification claim under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any insurer of the Indemnified Party (including under the Representations and Warranties Policy) in respect of the Damages to which such payment relates. The Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the foregoing subrogation rights.

9.12 Guaranty. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Guarantor and Buyer will be jointly and severally liable for Buyer’s obligation to pay the Merger Consideration, including, if, and to the extent and when due, of any Final Adjustment Calculation (if positive), Contingent Consideration, and all other payments owing by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement (the “Guaranty”). This Guaranty may be enforced by Representative against Guarantor without the necessity at any time of Representative bringing or prosecuting an action against Guarantor, provided, that, Guarantor shall have, and shall be entitled to assert or exercise, all of the defenses, remedies and other rights available to Buyer under this Agreement or any applicable Law and shall receive copies of all notices required to be delivered to Buyer under the terms of this Agreement at the time so required hereunder, simultaneously with delivery to Buyer.

ARTICLE XI – PROVISIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATIVE

11.1 By approving this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal, each Securityholder shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed Representative as such Person’s representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Person with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including the Escrow Agreement) and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Representative pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, including the exercise of the power to:

(a) give and receive notices and communications;

(b) authorize delivery to Buyer of cash from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund (or, if necessary, the Indemnification Escrow Fund) in satisfaction of any amounts owed to Buyer pursuant to Article III, or from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims for indemnification made by Buyer pursuant to Article IX;

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

11.2 Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Securityholder by Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on

behalf of any Securityholder by Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, notices or communications to or from Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Securityholders. Any decision or action by Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Representative and Buyer relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Securityholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 11.2, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or Securityholder, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

11.3 Representative shall have the right to resign from its position as representative hereunder at any time; provided that, prior to such resignation, Representative shall appoint a successor representative under this Agreement who is acceptable to Stockholders who hold a majority of the outstanding Company Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time, which successor shall execute and deliver to Buyer an instrument acknowledging and accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become Representative for all purposes hereunder. In the event that Representative shall fail for any reason to appoint a successor, or fail to perform its duties at any time, a successor shall be appointed by Stockholders who hold a majority of the outstanding Company Capital Stock prior to the Effective Time. Any successor appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall execute and deliver to Buyer an instrument acknowledging and accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become Representative for all purposes under this Agreement.

11.4 Representative will receive $100,000 (the “Representative Fee”) for services as Representative, which will be paid in full at Closing as a Transaction Expense. At the Closing, Buyer shall cause an amount equal to the sum of (i) $256,616.24 to be deposited with Representative in a segregated account designated by Representative (the “Representative Expense Fund”) in accordance with Section 2.9(c). In addition to the Representative Fee, the Representative Expense Fund shall be used by Representative as shall be necessary to pay the expenses incurred by Representative in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, professional fees and expenses of any attorney, accountant or other advisors retained by Representative and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Representative in connection with the performance of Representative’s duties under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. After giving effect to all such payments, at such time or times as may be determined by Representative, Representative shall distribute part or all of the remaining portion of the Representative Expense Fund to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Securityholders in accordance with the Distribution Schedule.

11.5 Each Indemnifying Holder shall on a several basis (but not joint and several basis) indemnify Representative in proportion to the Indemnifying Percentage of such Indemnifying Holder in accordance with Section 9.4(d) against any loss, liability or expense incurred by Representative while acting pursuant to any provision of this Article XI on behalf of the

Securityholders other than due to Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, Representative shall have no liability to any Seller Indemnified Party or any Buyer Indemnified Party for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by Representative in connection with this Agreement, except in the case of Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.6 The terms of this Article XI shall be binding upon each Securityholder and the executors, heirs, legal representatives and successor of each Securityholder, and any references in this Agreement to a Securityholder shall mean and include the successors to the Securityholders’ rights hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

ARTICLE XII – MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, accountants, brokers and financial advisors whether or not such transactions are consummated; provided, however, that it is acknowledged and agreed that the fees and expenses associated with the Representations and Warranties Policy (to the extent such fees and expenses do not exceed $300,000) will be included as Transaction Expenses, and the remaining fees and expenses of the Representations and Warranties Policy will be borne by Buyer, (ii) 50% of the expenses associated with the D&O Policy will be borne by Buyer and 50% of the expenses associated with the D&O Policy will be included as Transaction Expenses, (iii) 50% of the expenses payable to Exchange Agent and Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Agreement and the Exchange Agent Agreement will be borne by Buyer and 50% of such expenses will be included as Transaction Expenses and (iv) the fees payable to Company’s accountant, LBMC, related to Company financial statement review to the extent conducted solely in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, will be borne by Buyer.

12.2 Public Announcement. No Party shall, prior to or after the Closing, without the approval of Buyer or Representative, as applicable, issue any press release or other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Buyer or its Affiliates may issue a press release or other communication following the Closing Date to announce the Closing, to provide a summary narrative about Company Group Members and the Business, and (b) nothing contained herein will limit any disclosures required or necessary to be made in connection with Guarantor’s compliance with any applicable Law or pursuant to any rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange of which the securities of i3V are listed or traded.

12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Disclosure Schedules and the other Transaction Documents) contains the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral discussions and written agreements with respect thereto (including any term sheet or similar agreement or document relating to the Contemplated Transactions, including that certain Mutual Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2019, by and between Guarantor and Company

and that certain Confidential Term Sheet, dated as of May 1, 2019, by and between Company and Guarantor).

12.4 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be modified, supplemented or amended only by a written instrument duly executed by Buyer and Representative. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof (that is, Buyer or Representative, as applicable). Any such waiver must be in writing and must be duly executed by such Party (that is, Buyer or Representative, as applicable). All rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Transaction Document, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver on one occasion shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any other breach, provision or requirement on any other occasion.

12.5 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures on this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging technology shall be deemed to be original signatures for all purposes.

12.6 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Agreed Process. Except for (i) claims for injunctive or equitable relief or suit to compel specific performance under this Agreement as described in Section 12.12 (including suits to compel compliance with the dispute resolution process set forth in this Section 12.6), and (ii) the dispute resolution processes set forth in Sections 2.14, 3.4, 4.3 and 7.1(b), as applicable, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its validity shall be finally resolved and settled by arbitration in accordance with this Section 12.6. With respect to any reference to a “party” or “parties” under this Section 12.6, such references shall refer to Buyer, on the one hand, and Representative, on behalf of the Securityholders, on the other hand, as applicable. For purposes of clarity, any disputes between the parties under Article IX (Indemnification) shall be referred to arbitration as described in this Section 12.6.

(b) Arbitration. Any arbitration to be conducted hereunder shall be brought and conducted in Nashville, Tennessee and shall be governed by the Laws described in Section 12.7.

(i) Governing Rules. Any dispute that is referred to arbitration under this Section 12.6 shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

(ii) Arbitration Panel. The arbitration shall be presided over by a panel of three (3) arbitrators.

(iii) Arbitrator Selection Procedure. Within twenty (20) days after the claimant party provides the respondent party with the first notice of a demand for arbitration (the “Demand Notice”), each of Representative and Buyer shall select one (1) impartial person to serve as an arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall then select the presiding arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after completion of the appointment of the party selections. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree on the presiding arbitrator within such fifteen (15) day period, the AAA shall select the presiding arbitrator. The presiding arbitrator shall have at least fifteen (15) years of commercial litigation and dispute resolution experience either as an attorney, arbitrator, or judge.

(iv) Pre-hearing Information Exchange. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing document exchange shall be limited to the reasonable production of relevant non-privileged documents explicitly referred to by a party for the purpose of supporting relevant facts presented in its case, carried out expeditiously. The parties shall be required to produce, if requested by another party, up to seven (7) witnesses designated by the requesting party for depositions in locations convenient for the witnesses.
