Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Stock or Common Exchangeable Shares for the consideration payable in respect of each such share of Company Stock or Common Exchangeable Shares properly delivered to any Governmental Authority or public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

1.07 Merger Consideration Adjustments.

(a) Post-Closing Determinations.

(i) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative a statement setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (collectively, the “Draft Computation”).

(ii) Promptly upon request by the Equityholders’ Representative, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall, subject, as applicable, to the Equityholders’ Representative’s execution of such customary access agreements as may be reasonably required by Buyer’s or the Surviving Corporation’s accountants, make available (including by electronic means, if reasonably available) to the Equityholders’ Representative and its independent accountants (x) all records and work papers used in preparing the Draft Computation and (y) all other non-privileged information and data as may be reasonably required by the Equityholders’ Representative in connection with the analysis of the Draft Computation. If the Equityholders’ Representative advises Buyer in writing that it agrees with the Draft Computation, then the Draft Computation shall be final and binding on the parties and the Equityholders for purposes of this Section 1.07. If the Equityholders’ Representative disagrees with any aspect of the Draft Computation, the Equityholders’ Representative may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Computation, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Buyer setting forth the Equityholders’ Representative’s determination of Closing Net Working Capital. If the Equityholders’ Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Computation, then Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed to the Draft Computation, and the Draft Computation shall be final and binding on the parties and the Equityholders for purposes of this Section 1.07. Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any disagreements regarding the Draft Computation and the Objection Notice, but if they do not

reach agreement within twenty (20) days after Buyer has received the Objection Notice, Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall jointly retain KPMG LLP, or if KPMG LLP declines to serve, such other nationally recognized accounting firm selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements. Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall direct the Accounting Firm to render a determination within thirty (30) days after its retention, and Buyer, the Equityholders’ Representative and their respective advisors shall cooperate with the Accounting Firm during its engagement. The Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in the Draft Computation or Objection Notice which Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative are unable to resolve and shall not make any other determination. Any determinations by the Accounting Firm and any work or analyses performed by the Accounting Firm in connection with its resolution of any dispute under this Section 1.07(a) shall not be admissible in evidence in any Proceeding between or among the parties hereto, other than to the extent necessary to enforce payment obligations under this Section 1.07. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or the Equityholders’ Representative or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or the Equityholders’ Representative. The Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator and not as an expert and the Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the written submissions by Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative (i.e., not an independent review) and the provisions and the definitions included in this Agreement. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and the Equityholders for purposes of this Section 1.07. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be accompanied by a statement of the Accounting Firm that it reached its decision in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.07(a). The Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.07(a), whether by agreement (or deemed agreement) of Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative or by determination of the Accounting Firm (or a combination thereof) is referred to as the “Final Closing Net Working Capital”. Nothing in this ARTICLE I, including the acceptance of the Draft Computation and the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, is intended to limit or otherwise affect the right of any Person to seek indemnification pursuant to ARTICLE IX, except to the extent a liability has been included and reflected in the calculation of the Final Closing Net Working Capital.

(iii) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid one-half by the Surviving Corporation and/or Buyer and one-half by the Equityholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers.

(b) Preservation of Books and Records. Until the date on which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is finally determined, Buyer and the Surviving Corporation, from and following the Effective Time, shall preserve the accounting books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries on which the Draft Computation is to be based and shall not take any actions with respect to such books and records that would obstruct, prevent or otherwise affect the procedures or the results of the procedures set forth in this Section 1.07.

(c) Payment by the Surviving Corporation. If the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working

Capital Adjustment, then Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, pay an aggregate amount equal to such difference, plus interest thereon from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the date on which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is finally determined at a rate per annum equal to the Agreed Rate (the “Aggregate Adjustment Amount”) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, to the Equityholders in accordance with Section 1.07(d).

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Aggregate Adjustment Amount, Buyer will pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, subject to Section 1.08:

(i) to the holders of Common Stock (other than any shares of Common Stock that are Dissenting Shares) with respect to each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time surrendered in accordance with Section 1.06, an amount equal to the Per Share Adjustment Amount;

(ii) to the holders of Company Warrants with respect to each share of Common Stock underlying each Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time surrendered in accordance with Section 1.06, an amount equal to the Per Share Adjustment Amount;

(iv) to the holders of Common Exchangeable Shares with respect to each share of Common Exchangeable Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time surrendered for exchange in accordance with Section 1.06, an amount equal to the Per Share Adjustment Amount.

Amounts payable to any Seller pursuant to this Section 1.07(d) shall be paid by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation to such Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of such Seller as set forth in the Closing Payments Schedule. Amounts payable to any holder who is not a Seller pursuant to this Section 1.07(d) shall be paid to such holder as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal or Option Surrender Agreement previously delivered by such Seller. The payment of such amounts in accordance with the foregoing shall fully satisfy the obligations of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation to pay the Per Share Adjustment Amount hereunder.

(e) Payment from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. If the Final Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment is less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment, then within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay out to Buyer or its

designee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in such joint written instruction no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, an amount equal to such difference, plus interest thereon from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the date of on which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is finally determined at a rate per annum equal to the Agreed Rate.

1.08 Tax Withholding. Each of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, any Subsidiary and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable to Equityholders, the Senior Executives or the Eligible Participating Employees in accordance with this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Laws. Any such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, any Subsidiary or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Authority and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Common Stock or the Special Voting Common Stock, as applicable, held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders of the Company who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Common Stock or the Special Voting Common Stock, as applicable, under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, or the Per Share Special Voting Common Stock Redemption Price, as applicable, without any interest thereon, at the times and in the manner provided in Section 1.06, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Common Stock or Special Voting Common Stock, as applicable, along with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal.

Effective as of the Effective Time, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (other than the Company and the Subsidiaries) and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company, the Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation and any and all of their respective successors and assigns (which phrase for purposes of this Section 7.02 will not include Buyer or any of its Affiliates other than the Company and the Subsidiaries), together with all their present and former directors and officers (the “Company Released Parties”), from any and all manner of claims, actions, suits, damages, demands and liabilities whatsoever in Law or equity, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, contingent, direct or indirect, which the Seller Releasing Party ever had, has or may have against any of the Company Released Parties for, upon, or by reason of any Investor Agreements, director indemnification agreements, matter, transaction, act, omission or thing whatsoever in connection with any of the Company Released Parties, from the beginning of time to and including the Effective Time; provided, however, that this release shall not affect any rights which (x) the Seller Releasing Parties may have (i) arising under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents or (ii) for any salary, compensation or employee benefits owed to any Seller that is also an employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries to the extent included as a liability in the Final Closing Net Working Capital or (y) any portfolio company of any VC Seller or any portfolio company of any Affiliate of a VC Seller may have.

7.03 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2011 (the “Transition Period”), Buyer, shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each employee of the Company and the Subsidiaries who continue to be employed by the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date (the “Company Employees”) health, pension, and welfare benefits in the aggregate that are not less favorable than, in Buyer’s sole discretion, either (i) those health, pension and welfare benefits provided to Company Employees immediate before the Closing Date, or (ii) those health, pension and welfare benefits provided to similarly situated employee of Buyer, as those plans are amended from time to time. The preceding sentence shall not preclude Buyer or the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Company Employee at any time.

(b) To the extent Buyer elects to have the Company Employees participate in pension and welfare benefit plans of Buyer or Surviving Corporation (each a “Buyer Plan” and collectively “Buyer Plans”) following the Closing Date, (i) each Company Employee will receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, under such Buyer Plan for years of service with the Company (or any of the Subsidiaries or predecessors) prior to the Closing Date to the same extent such service was recognized by the Company, except to the extent such credit would result in duplication of benefits, and (ii) Buyer will cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any Buyer Plans that are group health plans in which such Company Employee will participate to be waived (to the extent allowable) and will provide credit for any co-payments and deductibles prior to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any such plans that may apply after the Closing Date.

(c) Effective on the Closing Date, Buyer shall (i) calculate the level of paid time off benefits to which each of the Company Employees is eligible under Buyer’s vacation and paid time off policy taking to account the Company Employee’s years of service with the Company in accordance with Section 7.03(b), (ii) credit each of the Company Employees with an amount of paid vacation days following the Closing Date equal to the amount of paid vacation time each such Company Employee has accrued but not yet used or cashed out as of the Closing Date under the Company’s vacation policy as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, (iii) convert each such credited vacation day into eight paid time-off hours (as such term is used under Buyer’s vacation and paid time-off policy), and (iv) allow each of the Company Employees to use such credited paid time-off hours following the Closing Date at such times as reasonably determined in accordance with Buyer’s vacation and paid time-off policy (such paid time-off hours, for the avoidance of doubt, being in addition to any paid time-off hours to which such Company Employee otherwise becomes entitled under Buyer’s vacation and paid time-off policy following the Closing Date).

(d) Effective the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company and the Subsidiaries, as applicable, have each terminated any and all plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Buyer timely provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated). Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Buyer true, correct and complete resolutions of the Company’s board of directors authorizing such termination.

(e) (i) Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to establish a cash retention plan for the benefit of Company Employees who had held any Unvested In-the-Money Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time under which such Company Employees shall be eligible to receive, in the aggregate, cash retention payments in an amount equal to the Aggregate Unvested Option Consideration. Such cash retention payments shall be (x) allocated to each Company Employee in an amount equal to the portion of the Aggregate Unvested

Option Consideration in respect of the Unvested In-the-Money Company Options held by such employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) payable to each such Company Employee, with respect to each Unvested In-the-Money Company Option held by such Company Employee, on or before December 31 of the year in which such Unvested In-the-Money Company Option would have vested under its terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such Company Employee must have remained continually employed by Buyer or its Affiliates and be in good standing until and including such payment date.

(ii) Upon the death or disability of any such Company Employee or the termination of such Company Employee’s employment by Buyer or its Affiliates without “cause” (as such term is defined herein), such Company Employee (or his estate) shall receive, on an accelerated basis, the unpaid balance with respect to each Unvested In-the-Money Company Option to which such employee would have been otherwise entitled had he or she remained an employee of Buyer or its Affiliates in good standing through the applicable payment date (the “Unpaid Retention Amount”); provided that such accelerated payment shall not be made if the Company Employee’s termination of employment does not constitute a “separation from service,” as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Section 7.03(e), the term “cause” shall include without limitation, based on the reasonable judgment of Buyer, the Company Employee’s failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of duties, involvement in a transaction which is adverse to the interest of Buyer or its Affiliates, or willful violation of any Law in connection with the performance of duties.

(f) The parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.03 are included for the sole benefit of Buyer and the Company, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (i) in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any participant in any Company Plan or Buyer Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Plan, Company Employee Agreement or Buyer Plan, or shall limit the right of the Surviving Corporation or Buyer to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Plan or Company Employee Agreement or Buyer plan following the Closing Date.

7.04 Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Each Restricted Person covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof and continuing for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, such Restricted Person shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Person’s Affiliates to, directly or indirectly,

(i) engage in the business of owning, operating, managing and/or otherwise conducting the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, selling, exporting or importing, or having designed, developed, manufactured, distributed, marketed, sold, exported or imported, any power management, controller, driver or semiconductor products or components that compete, directly or indirectly, with any Product anywhere in the world (a “Competitive Business”), or perform management, executive or supervisory functions with respect to, join, control, render financial assistance to, receive any economic benefit from, exert any influence upon, participate in, render services or advice to any business or Person that engages or could reasonably be expected to engage in a Competitive Business, in each case other than on behalf of Buyer and its subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 7.04(a)(i), ownership of securities having no more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting power of any entity the equity securities of which are listed on any national securities exchange shall not by itself be deemed to be a violation of this Section 7.04(a)(i); or

(ii) induce or attempt to induce, any Person that was, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date, a customer or supplier of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to (x) cease doing business with Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or the Company or any Subsidiary or (y) in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or the Company or any Subsidiary and any such customer or supplier.

(b) Each Seller covenants and agrees, from the date hereof and continuing for a period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, such Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any Person who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement (a “Non-Solicitation Employee”), or encourage any Non-Solicitation Employee to terminate his or her employment with Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary, in each case without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided that the provisions set forth in this Section 7.04(b) shall not (x) restrict any portfolio company of any VC Seller or any Affiliate of a VC Seller except to the extent such portfolio company is acting at the specific direction of any VC Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than a portfolio company) or (y) preclude a Seller or any of its Affiliates from soliciting for employment or employing any Non-Solicitation Employee who was previously terminated without “cause” (as defined Section 7.03(e)) by the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 7.04(b), none of the following shall be deemed a violation hereof: (i) general employment advertising or a general offer of employment to the public, in each case, carried on or made in good faith that is not targeted at any Non-Solicitation Employee or at employees of Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and the hiring of any such employee as a result thereof, or (ii) the use of a search firm or employment agency that is not targeted at any Non-Solicitation Employee or at employees of Buyer or any of its subsidiaries or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and the hiring of any such employee as a result of such use.

Each Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such Seller of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 7.04(b) cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in

damages in an action at law, and that Buyer will be entitled to, among other remedies and without posting any bond or other undertaking, such injunctive relief, which may include, but will not be limited to: (x) restraining such Seller from engaging in any action that would constitute or cause a breach or violation of this Section 7.04(b), (y) obtaining specific performance to compel Sellers to perform their obligations and covenants hereunder, and (z) obtaining damages available either at law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting any party from pursuing any other remedy available to it for such breach or threatened breach. No Seller shall take any position inconsistent with the foregoing in any Proceeding.

(c) The parties agree that none of the consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated to any of the covenants in this Section 7.04.

7.05 Confidentiality. From and after the Effective Time, each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Seller Affiliates”) to, (i) maintain the confidentiality of, (ii) not use, and (iii) not disclose to any Person, any confidential, non-public or proprietary information of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of Buyer, or as may be required by Law; provided that the Sellers and the Seller Affiliates shall not be subject to such obligation of confidentiality for information (x) that otherwise becomes available to the Sellers or the Seller Affiliates after the Closing Date on a nonconfidential basis from a third party who is not, to the Sellers’ knowledge, under an obligation of confidentiality to Buyer, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; or (y) that is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of this Agreement by any of the Sellers or the Seller Affiliates. If any Seller or Seller Affiliate shall be required by Law or legal process to disclose any such information, such Seller or Seller Affiliate shall provide the Surviving Corporation with prompt written notice of each request so that the Surviving Corporation may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy, and such Seller or Seller Affiliate shall cooperate with the Surviving Corporation to obtain a protective order or other remedy; provided that, in the event that a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such Seller or Seller Affiliate shall furnish only that portion of such information which, in the opinion of its counsel, such Seller or Seller Affiliate is legally compelled to disclose and shall exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such information so disclosed.

7.06 Obligations to Company Directors and Officers. Prior to the Closing the Company shall purchase a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for events that shall have occurred prior to the Closing, that shall provide the maximum amount of coverage for a cost not to exceed $13,193 and that shall remain in effect for a period of six years after the Closing, covering those persons that have served as directors and officers of the Company prior to the Closing who are covered by the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy as of the date of this Agreement.

9.02 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification. Following the Effective Time:

(i) The Equityholders (collectively, the “Company Indemnitors”) shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any direct or indirect claim, loss, liability, obligation, damage (including lost profits), interest, penalty, fine, judgment, indebtedness or expense (including all amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation, reasonable legal and accountants’ fees and expenses, and the costs and expenses of enforcing the indemnification set forth herein) (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) which any of the Buyer Indemnitees suffers, sustains or becomes subject to arising out of, relating to, attributable to, or resulting from (w) any inaccuracy as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date of any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any Agreement Certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, (x) any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to be performed by the Company prior to or as of the Closing Date, (y) any claim by any Equityholder for appraisal with respect to any of the Company Stock in connection with the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, whether or not the claim for appraisal has been asserted, perfected, withdrawn or lost, (z) any Transaction Expenses or Closing Indebtedness to the extent not reflected in the Final Net Working Capital, (aa) any claim by any current or former holder of Company Options or Company Warrants, Convertible Notes, shares

of Company Stock or Common Exchangeable Shares that such current or former holder is entitled to rights or consideration with respect thereto other than as specifically contemplated herein, (bb) any claim by any Person with respect to acts, actions or activities of the Company or its officers or directors in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and the discussions and negotiations between Buyer and the Company leading to the execution of this Agreement, or (cc) failure of the Company to comply with the terms of the Buyer Promissory Note prior to the Effective Time.

(ii) Each Seller (a “Seller Indemnitor”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses which any of the Buyer Indemnitees suffers, sustains or becomes subject to arising out of, relating to, attributable to, or resulting from (x) any inaccuracy as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date of any of the representations and warranties of such Seller set forth in this Agreement or in any Agreement Certificate delivered by or on behalf of such Seller to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, or (z) any breach of any covenant or agreement of such Seller set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the rights of the Buyer Indemnitees to seek indemnification payments directly from a Seller Indemnitor, Buyer may elect to satisfy claims for indemnification that any Buyer Indemnitee may have against a Seller Indemnitor pursuant to this Section 9.02(a)(ii) by means of set-off against any amounts otherwise payable to such Seller Indemnitor hereunder from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, and if Buyer so elects, by written notice (the “Buyer Notice”) to the Seller Indemnitor and the Equityholders’ Representative setting forth the amount of the applicable claims sought to be set-off (the “Proposed Set-off Amount”) and if the Seller Indemnitor does not object by delivery of a written objection notice to Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer (a “Seller Objection Notice”) within 10 Business Days of the date of the Buyer Notice, the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse such Proposed Set-off Amount from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to Buyer. In the event that the Seller Indemnitor shall have delivered a Seller Objection Notice within the 10 Business Day period referred to above, the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to retain the Proposed Set-off Amount in the Escrow Fund. Upon subsequent receipt by the Equityholders’ Representative from the Seller Indemnitor and Buyer stating that such Seller Indemnitor has agreed to such claim with Buyer and setting forth the agreed-upon amount with respect to the applicable claim, the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the agreed-upon amount to Buyer and any remaining portion of the Proposed Set-off Amount shall be disbursed to the applicable Seller.

(iii) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Sellers and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any Losses which such Seller Indemnitees suffer, sustain or become subject to arising out of, relating to, attributable to, or resulting from (x) any inaccuracy as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date of any of the representations and warranties of Buyer or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or in any Agreement Certificate delivered by or on behalf of Buyer to such Seller in accordance with the terms hereof, (y) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or (z) any claims brought by Company Employees that were actually employed by the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date for claims based on facts and circumstances occurring after the Closing Date and where any Seller is named in his, her or its capacity as such

employee’s former employer, except to the extent that any such claim of a Company Employee arises out of, relates to, attributes to, or results from any inaccuracy as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date of any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any Agreement Certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, or any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to be performed by the Company prior to or as of the Closing Date.

(b) (i) The Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification under (A) Section 9.02(a)(i)(w) for Losses from inaccuracies of representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any Agreement Certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof (other than the Core Representations) or (B) Section 9.06 (except as provided in Section 9.06(a)(ii)), unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses that would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i)(w) from inaccuracies of representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any Agreement Certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof (other than the Core Representations) or Section 9.06 (other than Section 9.06(a)(ii)) exceeds on a cumulative basis Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Deductible Amount”) in which case the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i)(w) and Section 9.06 for the aggregate amount of all such Losses in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), (ii) the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the sole source of recovery for claims for indemnification under Sections 9.02(a)(i) and 9.06, except to the extent that a representation and warranty of the Company shall have been inaccurate or a covenant or agreement of the Company shall have been breached and such inaccuracy or breach shall have resulted from fraud, intentional misstatements or deliberate misconduct on the part of the Company or any of its directors or officers, in which case the Buyer Indemnitees may recover from each Seller its pro rata share of the amount to be indemnified (determined, with respect to each Seller based upon the amount of cash received by such Seller pursuant to Section 1.06(b) compared to the total amount of cash received by all Sellers pursuant to Section 1.06(b)) up to a maximum of the total amount of cash received by such Seller pursuant to Section 1.06(b), (iii) for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty was or is inaccurate, such representation or warranty shall be read without regard to any qualifications as to Material Adverse Effect or materiality (or any correlative term) contained in such representations and warranties, and (iv) in no event will any Seller be liable whatsoever for claims for indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(ii) for an amount in excess of the total amount of cash received by such Seller pursuant to Section 1.06(b).

(i) Direct Claims. A Buyer Indemnitee shall give the Equityholders’ Representative notice of any matter which such Buyer Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i) of this Agreement and shall

give the applicable Seller Indemnitor notice of any matter which such Buyer Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification against such Seller Indemnitor under Section 9.02(a)(ii) of this Agreement, in each case promptly following such determination, stating an estimate of the amount of the Loss, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that a Buyer Indemnitee’s failure to make timely delivery of such notification to the Equityholders’ Representative or a Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, shall not relieve the Company Indemnitors, or a Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, from any liability under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent that the Company Indemnitors, or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, are or is actually materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notification. The Equityholders’ Representative shall give Buyer notice of any matter which any Seller Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, promptly following such determination, stating an estimate of the amount of the Loss, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the Equityholders’ Representative’s failure to make timely delivery of such notification to Buyer shall not relieve Buyer from any liability under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent that Buyer is actually materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notification.

(ii) Third Party Claims.

(A) If a Buyer Indemnitee shall receive notice of any claim, demand, assessment or other Proceeding by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it which may give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i) or Section 9.02(a)(ii) of this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnitee shall give the Equityholders’ Representative (in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i)) or the applicable Seller Indemnitor (in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(ii)) prompt notice of such Third Party Claim; provided that a Buyer Indemnitee’s failure to make timely delivery of such notification to the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, shall not relieve the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, from any liability under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent that the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, are or is actually materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notification. The Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, may, at its option, assume the defense of the Buyer Indemnitees against such Third Party Claim (including the employment of counsel and the payment of expenses) by written notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim in which the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, agrees and acknowledges that the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, shall be responsible for indemnifying the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses which the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to arising out of, relating to, attributable to, or resulting from such Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.02(e); provided that the Equityholders’ Representative and the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, shall not have the option to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (1) which seeks any remedy other than money damages, (2) in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(i), which is reasonably likely to result in Losses that exceed the amounts then remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund assuming all other pending claims for indemnification under Section 9.02(a) would be paid in the amounts set forth in the claims set forth by the Buyer Indemnitees, or (3) which

Third Party Claim, or the assumption of the defense of which by the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, Buyer determines, in its reasonable discretion, could adversely affect the business, operations, assets or Intellectual Property of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries, (in which case Buyer shall control the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable shall have the right to participate in and observe the defense thereof at the Equityholder’s or the Seller Indemnitor’s, as applicable, sole cost and expense, provided, further, that the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the decision to accept or otherwise include any comments to any written documents from the Equityholders’ Representative or Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, shall be in Buyer’s sole discretion). If Buyer elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.02(c)(ii)(A) and the Equityholders’ Representative shall have agreed and acknowledged that the Company Indemnitors shall be responsible for indemnifying the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses which the Buyer Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to arising out of, relating to, attributable to, or resulting from such Third Party Claim, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any pending or threatened Proceeding for an amount in excess of $100,000, or consent to the entry of any judgment in excess of $100,000, in respect of such Third Party Claim. Any Buyer Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, and to employ separate counsel in connection therewith, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after the defense has been properly assumed by the Equityholders’ Representative or a Seller Indemnitor, as applicable shall not be an expense of the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, unless (i) the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, shall have failed, within thirty (30) days (or such shorter time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances), after having been notified by the Buyer Indemnitee of the existence of such Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.02(c)(ii)(A), to diligently pursue the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, or (iii) the Buyer Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such Buyer Indemnitee or other Buyer Indemnitees that are not available to the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, or that the Buyer Indemnitee and the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, may have different, conflicting or adverse legal positions or interests; in each such case the Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company Indemnitors or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, for its Losses incurred in such defense. If the Equityholders’ Representative or the Seller Indemnitor, as applicable, elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.02(c)(ii)(A), it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any pending or threatened Proceeding (whether the Buyer Indemnitee is an actual or potential party thereto) or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder.

(B) If a Seller Indemnitee shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim against it which may give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 9.02(a)(iii) of this Agreement, upon receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim from such Seller Indemnitee the Equityholders’ Representative shall give the Surviving Corporation prompt

notice of such Third Party Claim; provided that the Equityholders’ Representative’s failure to make timely delivery of such notification to Buyer shall not relieve Buyer from any liability under this ARTICLE IX, except to the extent that the Surviving Corporation is actually materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notification. Buyer may, at its option, assume the defense of the Seller Indemnitees against such Third Party Claim (including the employment of counsel and the payment of expenses) by written notice to the Equityholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim in which Buyer agrees and acknowledges that Buyer shall be responsible for indemnifying the Seller Indemnitee from and against any Losses which the Seller Indemnitee may suffer, sustain or become subject to arising out of, relating to, attributable to, or resulting from such Third Party Claim. The Equityholders’ Representative shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after the defense has been properly assumed by Buyer shall not be an expense of Buyer unless (i) Buyer shall have failed, within thirty (30) days (or such shorter time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances), after having been notified by the Equityholders’ Representative of the existence of such Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 9.02(c)(ii)(B), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and diligently pursue the defense thereof, (ii) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by Buyer, or (iii) the Equityholders’ Representative reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Seller Indemnitee or other Seller Indemnitees that are not available to Buyer or that the Seller Indemnitee and Buyer may have different, conflicting or adverse legal positions or interests. If Buyer elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.02(c)(ii)(B), it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any pending or threatened Proceeding (whether any Seller Indemnitee is an actual or potential party thereto) or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder.

(iii) Except for indemnification claims made by Buyer as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.08, this Section 9.02(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall instead be governed by Section 9.06.

(d) Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.06 or of any claim therefor shall be calculated (i) net of any insurance proceeds or other indemnification or contribution arrangements (net of direct collection expenses) actually received by the Indemnitee on account of such Loss, (ii) net of any U.S. federal income tax savings actually realized by Buyer, the Company, the Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates on account of such Loss in the year the item giving rise to such Loss was paid or accrued, determined after first taking into account all other tax benefits available to the recipient of the indemnity payment (or any Affiliate thereof), and (iii) without regard to any qualifications as to Material Adverse Effect or materiality (or any correlative term) contained in any representations and warranties.

(iii) there shall be no recovery for any Loss or alleged Loss by Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnitee under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.06, and the Loss shall not be included in meeting the Deductible Amount with respect to any of the following: (A) the filing of an election under Section 338 of the Code by Buyer or any of its Affiliates or similar election under state, local or foreign law, (B) any characterization of the transactions contemplated hereunder as an asset sale due to actions taken by Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates on or after the Effective Time, (C) the amount of or use of any net operating loss carryover or credit carryover or similar Tax attribute of the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, (D) any Tax resulting from a transaction or event undertaken by Buyer on or after the Effective Time that is outside of the ordinary course of business, and (E) any Taxes reflected in the Final Closing Net Working Capital.

(f) To the extent that a Company Indemnitor and/or a Seller Indemnitor makes any payment pursuant to this Section 9.02 in respect of Losses for which a Buyer Indemnitee has a right to recover under any insurance policies or coverage maintained by the Company prior to the Closing Date, the Company Indemnitor and/or a Seller Indemnitor, as the case may be, shall to the extent permitted by Law, be subrogated to the right of the Company to seek recovery from under such insurance policies or coverage; provided; however, that if the Company Indemnitor and/or a Seller Indemnitor shall be prohibited from such subrogation, the Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to seek recovery from under such insurance policies or coverage on such Indemnitor’s behalf and pay any such recovery actually received to such Indemnitor net of any (i) Tax on such payment, and (ii) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of claiming for the payment (including all attorneys’ fees and other fees, costs and expenses in connection with such collection or recovery and any increased insurance premiums, deductible payment or reimbursement obligation incurred as a result of such collection or recovery); provided, further, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to commence any Proceeding against any insurance company holding such insurance policies or coverage in order to comply with this Section 9.02(f).

(g) Each Indemnitee and/or the Equityholders’ Representative shall cooperate with each Indemnitor in the defense of any Third Party Claim and with respect to resolving any Loss with respect to which such Indemnitor is obligated to indemnify the other Person, including by making available to Buyer or the Equityholders’ Representative, as applicable, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnitor.

9.03 Limitation of Recourse. Following the Effective Time, and except with respect to breaches by any Seller of such Seller’s obligations under ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE VII and except as set forth in Section 9.06, Section 7.04 and Section 11.15, the indemnification provided under Section 9.02 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses of the Equityholders (including the Sellers), Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Subsidiaries with respect to any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties, or any breach of any covenants or agreements, made by the Company, the Sellers, Buyer or Merger Sub, as applicable, in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit hereto and each of the Company, the Equityholders, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub hereby waives, to the full extent that it may do so, any other rights or remedies that may arise under any applicable Law, except any right which it may have for fraud, intentional misstatements or deliberate misconduct against any Person.

9.04 Disclosure Generally. If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any Schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule attached hereto, such information shall be deemed to be included in all Schedules in which the information is required to be included to the extent such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The inclusion of any information in any Schedule attached hereto shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by the Company that in and of itself, such information is material to, or outside the ordinary course of the business of, the Company or the Subsidiaries or is a violation or breach of any Law.

9.05 Buyer Investigation. The representations and warranties of any of the Sellers and the Company contained herein shall not be affected by any investigation conducted for or on behalf of, or any knowledge possessed or acquired at any time by, Buyer or its Affiliates, employees, or representatives concerning any circumstance, action, omission or event relating to the accuracy or performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect thereto. Buyer has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the Company, the Subsidiaries, the business, operations and prospects thereof and acknowledges that Buyer has been provided access to the personnel, properties, premises and records of Seller and the Company relating thereto. Buyer acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties in ARTICLE IV of this Agreement there are no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, made by Sellers or any of Sellers’ directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling persons, advisors or representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.06 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns.

(i) Preparation of Tax Returns. Buyer, at its expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and the Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods that have not been filed as of the Closing Date and are due to be filed after the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”), and all Tax Returns for the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries for Straddle Tax Periods (“Straddle Tax Returns”). If the filing of any such Tax Return, or multiple Tax Returns which are filed on a reasonably contemporaneous basis, would increase Buyer’s right to receive indemnification payments by at least $25,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement, then Buyer shall provide a draft of each such Tax Return to the Equityholders’ Representative for its review, comment and approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at least twenty (20) days prior to the date such Tax Return is to be filed. Buyer shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments of the Equityholders’ Representative with respect to such Tax Returns. Without the consent of the Equityholders’ Representative, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, Buyer shall not file any amended Tax Returns or other Tax Returns or similar agreements for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Tax Period if the filing of any such Tax Return, or multiple Tax Returns which are filed on a reasonably contemporaneous basis, would increase Buyer’s right to receive indemnification payments by at least $25,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement.

(ii) Payments. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all unpaid Taxes shown as due and owing by the Company (or the Surviving Corporation) and the Subsidiaries on the Pre-Closing Tax Returns and Straddle Tax Returns filed pursuant to Section 9.06(a)(i). If (i) the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes shown as due and owing on any Pre-Closing Tax Return or (ii) the amount of Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes exceeds the accrual for such Taxes reflected as a liability in the Final Closing Net Working Capital (net of any prior payments made of Taxes that were chargeable against such accruals) (such excess amount with respect to any such Tax Return, an “Unpaid Taxes Shortfall”), then, notwithstanding any limitations in Section 9.02 hereof, no later than five (5) days after the filing of the relevant Tax Return, the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Buyer from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the applicable Unpaid Taxes Shortfall. Buyer shall pay to the Equityholders any Tax refunds actually received by Buyer, the Company, or the Subsidiaries relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or the portion of any Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date, but only to the extent such Tax refunds are not reflected as an asset in the Final Closing Net Working Capital.

(iii) Allocation. For purposes of this Section 9.06, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Straddle Tax Period ending on the Closing Date shall, (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Income Taxes or Taxes based upon or related to receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (y) in the case of any Income Tax or Tax based upon or related to receipts, be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time). For purposes of this Section 9.06, in the case of any Tax credit relating to a taxable

period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax credit which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount which bears the same relationship to the total amount of such Tax credit as the amount of Taxes described in (y) above bears to the total amount of Taxes for such taxable period.

(iv) Standard of Preparation. All Pre-Closing Tax Returns prepared or caused to be prepared by Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.06(a) shall be prepared consistent with the most recent prior practice.

(b) Audits.

(i) Buyer shall provide the Equityholders’ Representative with notice of any written inquiries, audits, examinations or proposed adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or any other taxing authority, which relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such notice; provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Equityholders’ Representative shall not affect Buyer’s right to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.06 except and only to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual timely notice to the Equityholders’ Representative and the Sellers have been materially prejudiced as a result of such delay.

(ii) Buyer shall have the right to control all Tax audits or proceedings of the Company (or the Surviving Corporation) and the Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Tax Periods; provided, however, that the Sellers shall have the right, at their own expense, to participate in any such audits or proceedings if such audit or proceeding, if adversely decided, would increase Buyer’s right to receive indemnification payments by at least $25,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement. Buyer shall obtain the written consent of the Equityholders’ Representative prior to the settlement of any such audits or proceedings that could reasonably be expected to increase Buyer’s right to receive indemnification payments by at least $25,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii) Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Equityholders’ Representative such powers of attorney and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the foregoing.

(c) Certain Taxes. Notwithstanding any of the limitations of Section 9.02 of this Agreement, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest, but for the avoidance of doubt, not including any income, gains (including capital gains) or similar Taxes, which shall be solely the responsibility of the Equityholders) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid 50% by the Equityholders and 50% by Buyer when due, and the Sellers, Buyer or the Company (whichever is primarily responsible under applicable Law) will, at the expense of 50% of the Equityholders and 50% of Buyer, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the applicable non-filing parties will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(d) Tax Indemnification. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 9.06, subject to the limitations in Section 9.02, the Equityholders will pay, and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against, all Losses attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and the Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Taxes and Pre-Closing Straddle Taxes (whether assessed or unassessed) in excess of the accruals for Taxes taken into account in calculating Final Closing Net Working Capital (net of any prior payments made of Taxes that were chargeable against such accruals) and Taxes paid or caused to be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund under Section 9.06(a)(ii) hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(d) and Section 9.02(e), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation and (iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Company and the Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of the Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

(e) Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanism. Any dispute among the parties involving Taxes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved as follows: (i) the parties will in good faith attempt to negotiate a prompt resolution of the dispute; (ii) if the parties are unable to negotiate a resolution of the dispute within thirty (30) days, the dispute will be submitted to the national office of a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers and Buyer (the “Tax Dispute Accountants”); (iii) the Tax Dispute Accountants shall resolve the dispute, in a fair and equitable manner and in accordance with applicable Tax Law and the provisions of this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the parties have submitted the dispute to the Tax Dispute Accountants, whose decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, absent fraud or manifest error; (iv) any payment to be made as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be made, and any other action taken as a result of the resolution of a dispute shall be taken, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the dispute is resolved (except that if the resolution requires the filing of an amended Tax Return, such amended Tax Return shall be filed within thirty (30) Business Days following the date on which the dispute is resolved); and (v) the fees and expenses of the Tax Dispute Accountants shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by the Sellers. The Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be the sole source of recovery for claims for indemnification under Section 9.06.

9.07 Payment from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. For any payments owed by the Equityholders to Buyer under Section 9.06 or indemnification payments owed by the Equityholders under Section 9.02(a)(i), Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay out to Buyer or its designees, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank

account designated in such joint written instruction no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day the amount of such payments after the final determination of such payments, plus interest thereon from (and including) the date of the initial claim to (but excluding) the date on which the final determination of such payments is made at a rate per annum equal to the Agreed Rate.

9.08 Adjustments to Purchase Price. Any indemnification payment made under this ARTICLE IX shall be treated as a purchase price adjustment for Tax purposes.

9.09 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.11 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

At the request of any party hereto or to any such other agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto

shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such other agreement or instrument shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

11.12 Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

11.13 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware sitting in the County of New Castle or any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in such Court of Chancery or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court.

11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this Agreement hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action arising under this Agreement or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise.

11.15 Specific Performance. The parties each agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the other parties in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Sellers and the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

11.16 Equityholders’ Representative.

(a) Appointment of Equityholders’ Representative. By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of

the Merger, and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger or receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Equityholder shall be deemed to have (i) approved the designation of, and hereby designates, Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the agent and attorney-in-fact for each of the Equityholders (the “Equityholders’ Representative”) to act as Equityholders’ Representative under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.16 and the Ancillary Documents and (ii) agreed to receive correspondence from the Equityholders’ Representative, including in electronic form. In the event of the resignation, death or incapacity of the Equityholders’ Representative, a successor Equityholders’ Representative reasonably satisfactory to Buyer shall thereafter be appointed by an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and such successor Equityholders’ Representative.

(b) Authority. The Equityholders’ Representative is hereby authorized and empowered to act for, and on behalf of, any or all of the Equityholders (with full power of substitution in the premises) in connection with (i) the indemnity provisions of ARTICLE IX as they relate to the Equityholders generally and (ii) such other matters as are reasonably necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, (A) to terminate, amend, waive any provision of, or abandon, this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, (B) to act as the representative of the Equityholders to review and authorize all claims and disputes or question the accuracy thereof, (C) to negotiate and compromise on their behalf with Buyer any claims asserted thereunder and to authorize payments to be made with respect thereto, (D) to take such further actions as are authorized in this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, and (E) in general, do all things and perform all acts, including, without limitation, executing and delivering all agreements (including the Escrow Agreement and the Ancillary Documents), certificates, receipts, consents, elections, instructions and other documents contemplated by or deemed by the Equityholders’ Representative to be necessary or desirable in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely on such appointment and to treat the Equityholders’ Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Equityholder. Notices given to the Equityholders’ Representative in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute notice to the Equityholders for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Extent and Survival of Authority. The appointment of the Equityholders’ Representative is an agency coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and any action taken by the Equityholders’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 11.16 shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Equityholder notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from such Equityholder, except for actions or omissions of the Equityholders’ Representative constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence. The death or incapacity, or dissolution or other termination of existence, of any Equityholder shall not terminate the authority and agency of the Equityholders’ Representative. Buyer,

Merger Sub and any other party to an Ancillary Document in dealing with the Equityholders’ Representative may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any act of the Equityholders’ Representative as the act of the Equityholder.

(d) Release from Liability. The Equityholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Equityholder or to any other Person (other than Buyer or Merger Sub, and then only in its capacity as Equityholders’ Representative), with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Equityholders’ Representative in its role as Equityholders’ Representative under or in connection with this Agreement, unless such action or omission results from or arises out of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Equityholders’ Representative, and the Equityholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Equityholder in the event that the Equityholders’ Representative believes there will not be adequate resources available to cover potential costs and expenses to contest a claim made by Buyer or Merger Sub against the Equityholders.

(e) Reimbursement of Expenses; Indemnification. The Equityholders’ Representative shall receive no compensation for service as such other than pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Representative Agreement entered into between Shareholder Representative Services LLC, the Company and certain of the Equityholders on or about the date hereof, but shall receive reimbursement from, and be indemnified by, the Sellers in accordance with their pro rata share of the amount to be indemnified (determined, with respect to each Seller based upon the amount of cash received by such Seller pursuant to Section 1.06(b) compared to the total amount of cash received by all Sellers pursuant to Section 1.06(b)), for any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, obligations, costs, expenses, charges and liabilities, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs (collectively, “Representative Losses”) incurred by the Equityholders’ Representative in the performance or discharge of its duties pursuant to this Section 11.16, in each case as such Representative Loss is incurred. If not paid directly to the Equityholders’ Representative by the Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Equityholders’ Representative from the amounts, if any, in the Indemnity Escrow Account otherwise distributable to the Equityholders pursuant to Section 1.10 and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided, that while this Section 11.16(e) allows the Equityholders’ Representative to be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the extent any funds remain available for such purpose, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as such Representative Losses are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Equityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies against the Equityholders available to it at law or otherwise.

(f) From and after the Effective Time, in connection with any claim under ARTICLE IX, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide

the Equityholders’ Representative with reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent reasonably available), at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to the books, records and other non-privileged documents and materials of the Surviving Corporation related to such claim and to the officers and employees of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation as reasonably requested by the Equityholders’ Representative, in each case, solely to the extent necessary for performing its duties under this Agreement.

11.17 Additional Agreement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees, and Affiliates, that prior to the Effective Time the Company is the client of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP (the “Company Law Firm”). After the Closing, it is possible that the Company Law Firm will represent the Equityholders, the Equityholders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”) in connection with matters related to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, matters related to the Indemnity Escrow Fund and any claims related thereto pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer and Merger Sub hereby agree that the Company Law Firm may represent the Seller Group in the future in connection with matters related to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and any claims that may be made thereunder pursuant to this Agreement. The Company Law Firm may serve as counsel to the Seller Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee, representative, or Affiliate of the Seller Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and each of the parties hereto hereby consents, solely for purposes of such post-Closing representation, thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising solely therefrom and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising solely from such post-Closing representation. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, has been carefully considered and the parties have consulted with counsel or been advised they should do so in connection with this waiver and consent.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parties have agreed to deposit in escrow certain funds and wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement requires the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement by the Buyer, the Company and the Equityholders’ Representative as of or prior to Closing;

WHEREAS, for the purpose of this Escrow Agreement, the “Closing Date” shall mean the date of this Escrow Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment of and Acceptance by Escrow Agent. The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Escrow Fund. On the date hereof, Buyer is depositing with the Escrow Agent the sum of $11,250,000 (the “Escrow Deposit”) to serve as a source of payment of amounts payable to the Buyer under Section 1.07(e) of the Merger Agreement, amounts owed by the Equityholders to the Buyer under Section 9.02(a)(i) and Section 9.06 of the Merger Agreement and amounts owed by Sellers to the Buyer under Section 9.02(a)(ii) of the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Deposit and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Deposit and the proceeds thereof as directed in Section 3 of this Escrow Agreement. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” means the amounts held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, including the interest and other income earned and received upon the Escrow Deposit.

3. Investment of Escrow Fund. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be invested in a JPMorgan Money Market Deposit Account rated in the highest short-term rating category of at least two nationally recognized rating agencies (“MMDA”), or a successor or similar investment offered by the Escrow Agent, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Parties and as shall be acceptable to the Escrow Agent. The MMDA has rates of compensation that may vary from time to time based upon market conditions.

the investments to be purchased and/or sold. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity. The Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates may receive compensation with respect to any Alternative Investment directed hereunder including without limitation charging any applicable agency fee in connection with each transaction. The Parties recognize and agree that the Escrow Agent will not provide supervision, recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of moneys held in the Escrow Fund or the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any investment described herein. The Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment made pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the Parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Escrow Agreement.

4. Disposition and Termination. The Escrow Fund should be released as follows:

(a) Indemnification Amounts.

(b) Final Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Final Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment is less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment, then within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, the Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction of the Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay out to the Buyer or its designee, an amount equal to such difference, plus interest thereon from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the date of on which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is finally determined at a rate per annum equal to the Agreed Rate, in each case as set forth in such joint written instruction.

(c) Final Release Date. Subject to Sections 4(d) and 4(e) of this Escrow Agreement, promptly after the twelfth (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Release Date”), if funds are then remaining in the Escrow Fund, the Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction of the Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative, directing the Escrow Agent to release and pay out all or such portion of the Escrow Fund as shall be set forth in such joint written instruction to the Buyer and/or the Equityholders, as the case may be, in the manner set forth in such joint written instruction (which shall set forth the amount payable with respect to the Buyer determined in accordance with Section 1.10(a) of the Merger Agreement and with respect to the Equityholders determined in accordance with Section 1.10(a) and Section 1.10(c) of the Merger Agreement).

(d) Unresolved Claims and Matters.

(e) Buyer Setoff. If the Buyer elects to satisfy claims for indemnification that the Buyer may have against a Seller pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(ii) of the Merger Agreement by means of set-off against any amounts otherwise payable to such Seller hereunder from the Escrow Fund by written notice (the “Buyer Notice”) to such Seller and the Equityholders’ Representative setting forth the amount of the applicable claims sought to be set-off (the “Proposed Set-off Amount”) and if such Seller does not object by delivery of a written objection notice to Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer (a “Seller Objection Notice”) within 10 Business Days of the date of the Buyer Notice, the Equityholders’ Representative and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction of the Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative to release and pay out to the Buyer the Proposed Set-off Amount from the portion of the Escrow Fund otherwise payable to such Seller, as set forth in such joint written instruction. In the event that such Seller shall have delivered a Seller Objection Notice within the 10 Business Day period referred to above, the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to retain the Proposed Set-off Amount in the Escrow Fund. Upon subsequent receipt by the Equityholders’ Representative from such Seller and Buyer stating that such Seller has agreed to such claim with Buyer and setting forth the agreed-upon amount with respect to the applicable claim, the Equityholders’ Representative and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent in a joint written instruction to disburse the agreed-upon amount to Buyer and any remaining portion of the Proposed Set-off Amount shall be disbursed to the applicable Seller.

(f) The Escrow Agent shall make all payments pursuant to Section 4 of this Escrow Agreement promptly, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery to the Escrow Agent of a joint written instruction of the Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative with respect to such payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed in such joint written instruction. The Escrow Agent shall make distributions to Equityholders under this Escrow Agreement in the same form and in accordance with the same wiring instructions or delivery address, as applicable, as such distributions were made to each such Equityholder at Closing, each as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

(g) Upon delivery of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section 4, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b) of this Escrow Agreement.

5. Escrow Agent. (a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any Merger Agreement, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of any Merger Agreement, even though reference thereto may be made in this Escrow Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Escrow Agreement, those of the Merger Agreement, or any other agreement among the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement shall control. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party, any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 11 of this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy the applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Fund, including, without limitation, the Escrow Deposit nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in performance of its duties hereunder except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction

determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Party. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel and accountants to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel or accountants. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party hereto which, in its reasonable opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Parties which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the reasonable satisfaction of Escrow Agent or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

6. Succession. (a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the Parties hereto. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Fund (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8(b) of this Escrow Agreement. In accordance with Section 8(b) of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

(b) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent is merged or converted or with which it is consolidated, shall, upon delivery of written notice of such merger, conversion or consolidation to the Parties by the Escrow Agent, be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

7. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Buyer and the Equityholders’ Representative (in each case solely on behalf of the Equityholders and in its capacity as the Equityholders’ agent, not in its individual capacity) shall each pay (with the Equityholders’ Representative’s portion payable out of the Escrow Fund) fifty percent (50%) of the Fees (as defined below) and Expenses (as defined below) to the Escrow Agent upon execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter (a) reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, along with any fees or charges for accounts, including those levied by any governmental authority which the Escrow Agent may impose, charge or pass-through, which unless otherwise agreed in writing shall be as described in Schedule 2 attached hereto (“Fees”), and (b) to pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all expenses, disbursements and advances, including, without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the performance, modification and termination of this Escrow Agreement (“Expenses”). The obligations set forth in this Section 7 shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

8. Indemnity. (a) The Equityholders’ Representative (out of the Escrow Fund, and on behalf of the Equityholders and in its capacity as the Equityholders’ agent, not in its individual capacity), on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall on a 50/50 basis, defend and save harmless the Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, judgments, settlements, litigation, investigations, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) (collectively “Losses”), arising out of or in connection with (i) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of its duties under this Escrow Agreement, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Escrow Agreement, except to the extent that such Losses are finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been primarily caused by the gross

negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (ii) its following any written instructions or other written directions, whether joint or singular, from the Parties, except to the extent that its following any such written instruction or written direction is expressly forbidden by or inconsistent with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. The indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 8(a) shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent is expressly authorized and directed to charge against and withdraw from the Escrow Fund for its own account or for the account of an Indemnitee any amounts due to the Escrow Agent or to an Indemnitee under either Sections 6(a), 7 or 8(a) of this Escrow Agreement.

9. Patriot Act Disclosure/Taxpayer Identification Numbers/Tax Reporting.

(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm the Parties identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). The Parties agree to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent.

(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. The Parties have provided the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required documentation. All interest or other income earned under this Escrow Agreement shall be allocated to the Equityholders as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow by such Equityholder whether or not said income has been distributed during such year. The Equityholders shall timely file all Tax Returns and pay all Taxes due with respect to any income earned or losses generated with respect to the Escrow Funds. Neither the Escrow Agent nor the Buyer shall have any liability for the payment of Taxes with respect to the Escrow Fund, and the Equityholders shall indemnify and hold the Buyer and the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all such Taxes. The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

10. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and except for communications from the Parties setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of funds, including but not limited to funds transfer instructions (all of which shall be specifically governed by Section 11 of this Escrow Agreement), shall be deemed to be duly given after it has been received if it is sent or served:

13. Miscellaneous. Except for change to funds transfer instructions as provided in Section 11 of this Escrow Agreement, the provisions of this Escrow Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by the Escrow Agent and the Parties. Neither this Escrow Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by the Escrow Agent or any Party, except as provided in Section 6 of this Escrow Agreement, without the prior consent of the Escrow Agent and the Parties. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Party and the Escrow Agent irrevocably waive any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Delaware. To the extent that in any jurisdiction either Party may now or hereafter be entitled to claim for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution attachment (before or after judgment), or other legal process, such Party shall not claim, and it hereby irrevocably waives, such immunity. Each Party and the Escrow Agent further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Escrow Agreement. No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the parties to this Escrow Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or portable document format (a “pdf”), and such facsimile or pdf will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original signature of such party whose signature it reproduces, and will be binding upon such party. If any provision of this Escrow Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction. A person who is not a party to this Escrow Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of this Escrow Agreement. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the end that this Escrow Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly provided in Section 8 in this Escrow Agreement, nothing in this Escrow Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Escrow Agreement or any funds escrowed hereunder.

Capitalized terms not defined herein and defined in the Merger Agreement have the meaning given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the undersigned hereby surrenders to IRC, for cancellation upon receipt by IRC, certificates representing all of the Company Stock or Company Warrants owned by the undersigned (“Certificate(s)”), each such Certificate to be converted into the right to receive a cash payment(s), without interest, of the consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Stock or Company Warrant evidenced by the such Certificate(s) at the times set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The undersigned, if a holder of Common Exchangeable Shares, surrenders to the Company, Certificates representing all of the Common Exchangeable Shares owned by the undersigned, each such certificate to be converted into the right to receive a cash payment(s), without interest, of the consideration payable in respect of each Common Exchangeable Share evidenced by the Certificate(s) at the times set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Merger Agreement. The surrender, conversion and transfer of the Company Stock and Common Exchangeable Shares hereby is irrevocable upon delivery of such Certificate(s).

The undersigned agrees that the payment of the Per Share Initial Merger Consideration, Per Share Special Voting Common Stock Redemption Price, Per Series B Share Initial Merger

Consideration, Per Series C Share Initial Merger Consideration, Per Series D Share Initial Merger Consideration, or Per Share Initial Warrant Consideration, as applicable, payable in respect of any Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares and/or Company Warrants evidenced by the Certificates(s) shall, and does hereby, fully acquit, release and forever discharge IRC and the Surviving Corporation from any and all payment obligations owing now or in the future to the undersigned in respect of any Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares or Company Warrants held by the undersigned, including, without limitation, any and all rights to receive any dividends or a liquidation preference whether accrued or to be paid in the future with respect to such Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares and Company Warrants other than with respect to the applicable portion of (i) the Aggregate Adjustment Amount, if any, and (ii) the Aggregate Additional Consideration, if any, hereafter determined to be payable in respect of such Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares and Company Warrants at the times set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Merger Agreement.

By delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby forever waives all appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and applicable law and withdraws all written objections to the Merger and/or demands for appraisal, if any, with respect to any Company Stock owned by the undersigned.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has all necessary power and authority to surrender, sell, assign and transfer the Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares and Company Warrants surrendered hereby and to waive the above-waived benefits that inure to holders of the Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares and Company Warrants surrendered. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that it has all necessary power and authority to deliver this Letter of Transmittal and to perform its obligations hereunder; that the undersigned has validly executed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal; that this Letter of Transmittal constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms; that the undersigned owns the shares and Company Warrants represented by the Certificate(s), free and clear of all encumbrances; and that other than the shares and Company Warrants represented by the Certificate(s) referred to above, the undersigned does not hold or own any additional Company Stock, Common Exchangeable Shares or Company Warrants.

No authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall be affected by, and all such authority shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. All obligations of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the spouses, heirs, predecessors, successors, assigns, representatives, trustees in bankruptcy or agents of the undersigned (including, without limitation, any trust of which the undersigned is the trustee or which is for the benefit of the undersigned or a member of his or her family), to the greatest extent permitted by law.

The undersigned, solely to the extent the undersigned is a Seller, certifies that, with respect to such Seller: (i) the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV of the Merger Agreement are true and correct in all respects both at and as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though then made (provided that any of such representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date are true and correct in all respects as of such specified date) and (ii) such Seller has complied in all material respects with

all of the covenants and agreements under the Merger Agreement required to be complied with by such Seller on or prior to the Closing Date.

Unless the undersigned is a Seller, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that delivery of this Letter of Transmittal constitutes a joinder to the Merger Agreement whereby the undersigned is deemed to be a “Seller” and a “Restricted Person” with respect to the closing and post-closing provisions of the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 7.02, 7.04 and 7.05 with the same effect as if the undersigned had been a signatory as a “Seller” to the Merger Agreement.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably deemed appropriate or necessary by IRC in connection with the Certificate(s) surrendered herewith.

This Letter of Transmittal shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to principles of conflict of law). The undersigned irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Letter of Transmittal shall be brought and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware sitting in the County of New Castle (or, if the Court of Chancery determines that it does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware), and the undersigned hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Letter of Transmittal and the transactions contemplated hereby.
