UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 6th day of December, 2018, by and among ALLIED MOTION TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Colorado corporation (the “Buyer”), TCI, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“TCI”), the members of TCI identified on the signature pages hereto (individually, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), and, solely for purposes of acting as the Seller Representative, XXXXXX XXXX. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in Article XII, below.

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, the Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding Common Units of TCI (the “Units”) and all of the issued and outstanding TCI Options (the “Options” which, together with the Units, are collectively referred to as the “Subject Securities”);

WHEREAS, TCI is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and distributing products to resolve power quality and harmonic issues associated with industrial power and conversion (the “Business”); and

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase the Subject Securities from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell the Subject Securities to the Buyer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Buyer, the Sellers and TCI, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, do hereby promise and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
Securities To Be Purchased

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell and transfer to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase from the Sellers, all of the Subject Securities free and clear of all Liens. The portion of the Subject Securities to be transferred by each Seller shall be as set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Exhibit 1.1 attached hereto. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Seller hereby waives compliance with Sections 11.05 and 11.06 of the Operating Agreement.

ARTICLE II
Closing; Purchase Price

2.1. Closing. The Closing shall be conducted electronically through the mutual exchange via facsimile, PDF format or other electronic means of executed copies of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be delivered at the Closing, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement.

2.2. Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Subject Securities (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to (i) Sixty-Four Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($64,100,000) (the “Initial Cash Amount”), less (ii) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Excluded Liabilities as of the Close of Business, plus (iii) Cash and Cash Equivalents as of the Close of Business (clauses (ii) and (iii) as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(a)-(b)), plus (or minus) (iv) the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment as calculated pursuant to Section 2.3, below (the aggregate amount calculated in accordance with clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence is referred to herein as the “Pre-Adjusted Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, below.

2.3. Adjustments to Pre-Adjusted Purchase Price. The Pre-Adjusted Purchase Price shall be either (i) increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that the Working Capital Amount (as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.5(a)-(b)) is greater than the Threshold Working Capital Amount by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), or (ii) decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that the Working Capital Amount (as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.5(a)-(b)) is less than the Threshold Working Capital Amount by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (such adjustment, the “Purchase Price Adjustment”). For purposes hereof, the “Working Capital Amount” shall mean an amount equal to (i) the amount of the Current Assets as of the Close of Business, less (ii) the amount of the Current Liabilities as of the Close of Business, which Current Assets and Current Liabilities shall be determined in accordance with GAAP (except for such non-GAAP practices specifically set forth in Exhibit 2.3), applied in a manner consistent with and using the principles, practices, methodologies, procedures, classifications and policies set forth on Exhibit 2.3 attached hereto and in accordance with the sample calculation attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 (the “Accounting Principles”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Working Capital Amount shall not include any portion of the Paid Liabilities.

2.4. Payment of the Purchase Price. At the Closing:

(a) The Buyer shall deliver to the Option Holders the Closing Option Consideration, allocated among the Option Holders as set forth in the option statement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.5(a)(2) (the “Option Statement”).

(b) The Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers, allocated among the Sellers based on their respective Unit Ownership Percentages, an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price less the sum of (i) the Closing Option Consideration, (ii) the Escrow Amount and (iii) the Seller Representative Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account or accounts as shall be designated in writing by the Seller Representative prior to the Closing;

(c) The Buyer shall deliver the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent with instructions to deposit the Indemnity Escrow Amount in an account designated by the Escrow Agent as the “Indemnity Escrow Account” and to deposit the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount in an account designated by the Escrow Agent as the “Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account” in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement;

(d) The Buyer shall deposit the Seller Representative Amount into such account as is designated in writing by the Seller Representative prior to the Closing, which account is to be managed by the Seller Representative in the good faith discretion of the Seller Representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the cash and earnings thereon from time to time in such account being referred to herein as the “Seller Representative Fund”). Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Seller Representative Fund shall be used by the Seller Representative from time to time in satisfaction of any fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees) incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the performance of its duties as Seller Representative hereunder, including, without limitation, the preparation of Tax Returns with respect to the Companies, the payment of amounts that may be paid from the Seller Representative Fund pursuant to this Agreement, the review of the Statements and determination of the final Purchase Price, the investigation or defense of any indemnification claim or other claim for which Sellers are or may be responsible under this Agreement, amounts payable from the Seller Representative Fund pursuant to this Agreement and the pursuit of claims against the Buyer for a breach of this Agreement by Buyer (collectively, the “Fund Liabilities”), in each case as determined by the Seller Representative from time to time in its sole discretion. The Seller Representative shall, at such time or times when the Seller Representative in its absolute discretion determines (but in no event prior to the payment of all amounts payable under Section 2.5(c)(ii), Section 11.1(b), Section 11.1(c) and Section 11.2), cause the distribution to the Sellers, allocated among the Sellers based on their respective Fully Diluted Ownership Percentages, such portion of the Seller Representative Fund that has not been used to satisfy Fund Liabilities and is not being held in reserve for such Fund Liabilities (if any). At the time of any distribution of the Seller Representative Fund or any portion thereof, the Seller Representative shall provide notice to the Sellers of the nature of the Fund Liabilities satisfied from the Seller Representative Fund. If the Seller Representative Fund is exhausted and the Seller Representative thereafter incurs expenses for which it is entitled to payment from the Sellers hereunder, the Seller Representative shall be entitled to, without duplication, (i) retain from the Indemnity Escrow Account, at the time of any distribution of funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Seller Representative for subsequent distribution to the Sellers, the amount of such expenses for which it is entitled to payment by the Sellers hereunder, and (ii) recover such expenses from the Sellers (pro-rata in accordance with their respective Fully Diluted Ownership Percentages); and

(e) The Buyer shall, in accordance with Section 2.6, below, deliver, on behalf of TCI, to the holder of any Paid Liability for which the Seller Representative has furnished payment instructions in accordance with Section 2.6, below, the amount set forth in such instructions required to discharge such Paid Liability.

2.5. Calculation of Estimated Purchase Price and Final Purchase Price.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Representative delivered to the Buyer a reasonably detailed statement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.5(a)(1) containing an estimate of the Cash and Cash Equivalents, the Working Capital Amount and the Excluded Liabilities as of the Close of Business (the “Estimated Pricing Statement”). The Estimated

Pricing Statement includes a calculation by the Seller Representative of an estimate of the Purchase Price based upon the information reflected on the Estimated Pricing Statement (for purposes hereof, such estimated Purchase Price shall be referred to as the “Estimated Purchase Price”). The Estimated Purchase Price shall be the amount payable by the Buyer at the Closing under Sections 2.4(a)-(e), above. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Representative also delivered to the Buyer the Option Statement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.5(a)(2) setting forth a determination of the Closing Option Consideration and the allocation of the Closing Option Consideration among the Option Holders.

(b) Within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing, the Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller Representative a final calculation of the Purchase Price including a final calculation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents (the “Final Cash Statement”) and the Working Capital Amount as of the Closing Date (the “Final Working Capital Statement”) and a final calculation of the amount of the Excluded Liabilities as of the Closing Date (the “Final Excluded Liabilities Statement” and, collectively with the Final Working Capital Statement and the Final Cash Statement, the “Statements”), and further including such schedules and data as may be appropriate to support such determinations and calculations. The Seller Representative shall be entitled to review any working papers, trial balances and similar materials or such other information as the Seller Representative may reasonably request relating to the Statements prepared by or on behalf of the Buyer. Within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the Statements from the Buyer (the “Objection Period”), the Seller Representative must notify the Buyer in writing of any objections to the Buyer’s calculation of the Cash and Cash Equivalents, the Working Capital Amount or the Excluded Liabilities as reflected in the Statements or the calculation of the final Purchase Price and the amount (if known) and basis for such disagreements (such written notice being an “Objection Notice”). After the Objection Period, neither Seller Representative nor any Seller may introduce any disagreement not set forth in the Objection Notice with respect to any item in the Statements or the related calculation (provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect a Buyer Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification with respect to a breach by Sellers of any of their representations and warranties hereunder). In the event that the Seller Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then the Working Capital Amount, the Cash and Cash Equivalents and the amount of the Excluded Liabilities as set forth in the Statements and the Buyer’s calculation of the final Purchase Price shall be final hereunder (subject, however, to Sellers’ indemnification obligations with respect to additional Excluded Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.1(c)). In the event that the Seller Representative does deliver an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, then the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall use their good faith efforts to attempt to resolve the items set forth in the Objection Notice. In the event the Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve such disputed items within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Buyer of the Seller Representative’s notice of dispute, such disputed items shall be referred to KPMG (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to finally resolve such disputed items; provided, however, that the scope of the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement shall be limited to the resolution of the disputed items described in the Objection Notice and the recalculation, if any, of the Cash and Cash Equivalents, the Working Capital Amount and the Excluded Liabilities in light of such resolution. The

determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be made as promptly as possible and shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each of the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall be permitted to submit such data and information to the Independent Accounting Firm as such party deems appropriate (with a copy to the Seller Representative and the Buyer, respectively) provided that there shall be no ex parte communication between any party and the Independent Accounting Firm. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether any of the disputed items were properly calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall act as experts and not as arbitrators. The cost of the services of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne 50% by Buyer, on the one hand, and 50% by the Sellers, on the other hand. All other costs of the dispute resolution process shall be borne by the respective parties incurring the same. The Working Capital Amount, the Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Excluded Liabilities as finally agreed by the parties or determined by the Independent Accounting Firm as described herein, shall be the Working Capital Amount, the Cash and Cash Equivalents and the Excluded Liabilities for all purposes hereof (subject, however, to Sellers’ indemnification obligations with respect to additional Excluded Liabilities pursuant to Section 10.1(c)) and shall be used to determine the final Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.2, above.

(c) Once the final Purchase Price is determined in accordance with Section 2.2, Section 2.3 and this Section 2.5, the following shall occur:

(i) If the final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price (such difference, the “Increased Price”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Purchase Price under this Section 2.5 (x) the Buyer shall pay to the Seller Representative an amount equal to 95.134% of the Increased Price for distribution to the Sellers (pro rata in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages); and (y) the Buyer shall pay to TCI the balance of the Increased Price for payment to the Option Holders (pro rata in accordance with their respective Option Ownership Percentages).

(ii) If the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the final Purchase Price, then the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Purchase Price under this Section 2.5, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the aggregate amount of such difference to the Buyer from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account. If the amount to be paid to the Buyer under this Section 2.5(c)(ii) exceeds the amount in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account, the Seller Representative shall pay the balance from the Seller Representative Fund. Sellers shall be responsible severally (pro rata based on their respective Fully Diluted Ownership Percentages) for any amount due and owing under this Section 2.5(c)(ii) after all amounts have been exhausted under the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account and the Seller Representative Fund.

If any amount owed by a party pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) remains unpaid after such five (5) Business Day period, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount from the date due to the payment date at a rate per annum equal to seven percent (7%).

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the final Purchase Price under Section 2.5(c), the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release 95.134% of all funds held in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account (after accounting for any distributions from such account under Section 2.5(c)(ii)) to the Seller Representative for distribution to the Sellers (pro rata in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) and to release the balance of such funds in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account to TCI for payment to the Option Holders (pro rata in accordance with their respective Option Ownership Percentages).

(e) As promptly as practicable following receipt by TCI of funds from the Buyer or the Escrow Agent under Sections 2.5(c) or 2.5(d), above (and as promptly as practicable following receipt by TCI of any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement for payment to the Option Holders), TCI shall (and the Buyer shall cause TCI to) pay, through TCI’s payroll system, the aggregate amount so received by TCI to the Option Holders in accordance with their respective Option Ownership Percentages. The amounts to be paid by TCI to the Option Holders through its payroll system as described in this Section 2.5(e) shall be subject to all withholding for FICA taxes, state and federal withholding taxes and any other deductions required under applicable Legal Requirements and the amounts paid to the Option Holders shall be net of such withholdings and deductions.

2.6. Paid Liabilities. It is contemplated by the parties that all Excluded Liabilities described on Exhibit 2.6 attached hereto (to the extent not paid by a Company prior to the Closing) will be paid at the Closing or, for items otherwise noted on Exhibit 2.6, as and when due (the “Paid Liabilities”) and that such payment will be funded with a portion of the Initial Cash Amount. In order to facilitate such payments, the Seller Representative has furnished to the Buyer (i) a statement setting forth the amount owing at Closing under the Transaction Bonus Plans (including TCI’s portion of applicable payroll taxes thereon) and wire transfer instructions for TCI, (ii) a statement setting forth the Transaction Expenses other than the Transaction Bonus Plans as of the Close of Business and final invoices and wire instructions for each of the Transaction Expenses set forth therein, and (iii) a payoff letter from each holder of Paid Liabilities noted with an asterisk on Exhibit 2.6, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, indicating the amount required to discharge such Paid Liabilities in full and, if applicable, including an undertaking by such holder to discharge, upon receipt of payment specified in the payoff letter, any Liens securing such portion of the Paid Liabilities. In connection with the Closing, the Sellers and TCI hereby instruct the Buyer to make, or cause to be made, the payments referenced in such statements and payoff letters on the Closing Date in order to discharge the Paid Liabilities covered thereby.

2.7. Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, plus any assumed liabilities treated as additional consideration for income Tax purposes, shall be allocated among the assets of the Companies for purposes of the Sellers and the Buyer determining their tax consequences

arising from the sale and purchase of the Subject Securities in accordance with the methodology set forth in Exhibit 2.7, which methodology shall be in accordance with Code § 1060. The Sellers and the Buyer will follow and use such allocation methodology in all income Tax Returns, filings, or other related reports made by them.

2.8. Tax Treatment. The parties will report the transactions consummated hereunder in a manner consistent with IRS Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 2, for all income Tax purposes.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR (A) THE ALLOCATION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AMONG, OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AMONG, THE SELLERS (PROVIDED THAT BUYER HAS DISTRIBUTED THE ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE OWED BY BUYER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT), OR (B) THE CALCULATION OF EACH SELLER’S FULLY DILUTED OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE, THE CALCULATION OF THE CLOSING OPTION CONSIDERATION OR THE ALLOCATION OF THE CLOSING OPTION CONSIDERATION AMONG THE OPTION HOLDERS.

The Sellers hereby severally (in accordance with their Fully Diluted Ownership Percentages) warrant and represent to the Buyer, which warranties and representations shall survive the Closing for the periods, and subject to the limitations, set forth in Article X, below, that except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the following statements are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement:

4.1. Authority. TCI has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, respectively, and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein, respectively. The execution and delivery by TCI of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which TCI is a party has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of TCI. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which TCI is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by TCI, and this Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements are and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of TCI, enforceable against TCI in accordance with their respective terms, subject in each case to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a Proceeding in equity or an action at law).

4.2. No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to which TCI is a party nor the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder by TCI will (a) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of or default under any provision of the Organizational Documents of any Company; (b) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of or default under any Legal Requirement, Order or Governmental Authorization to which any Company or any of its assets or properties is subject; (c) violate or conflict with, or result in a default under, or give any Person the right to exercise any material remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate or modify any Material Contract or Real Property Lease, or (d) result in the imposition or creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the assets owned, leased or licensed by any Company other than Permitted Liens. No action, consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Body is required to be obtained or made by any Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party or the consummation by TCI of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (except no representation is made with respect to any action, consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Body required as a result of Buyer’s operations or matters specific to Buyer).

4.3. Restrictions on Transfer. Except for the Operating Agreement, there are no voting trust agreements, powers of attorney, shareholder agreements, operating agreements, proxies or any other Contracts to which any Company is a party or by which any Company is bound relating to the sale, transfer, voting, registration, acquisition, distribution rights or disposition of any of the Capital Stock of any Company (including the Subject Securities) or otherwise granting any Person any right in respect of the Capital Stock of any Company (including the Subject Securities), and

there are no existing restrictions on the transfer of the Capital Stock of any Company (including the Subject Securities) other than restrictions imposed by applicable federal and state securities Legal Requirements, the Operating Agreement and the TCI Option Plan.

4.4. Organizational Matters. Each Company is an entity validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. Each Company has the limited liability company or corporate, as applicable, power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets as and where currently owned or leased and to carry on all business activities currently conducted by it. Each Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its assets makes such qualification necessary, except where the lack of such qualification would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.10. Termination of Certain Agreements. Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Terminating Contract is hereby terminated and of no further force and effect as of the Closing Date, and that such Seller shall have no rights or remedies under, and no other Person (including the Companies) shall have any obligation or liability under, such Terminating Contracts from and after the Closing Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such Terminating Contract (but subject, solely in the case of the Operating Agreement, to Section 8.9(a)(W), above).

8.11. Waiver with Respect to Transfer of Options. Each Option Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) all Options owned by such Option Holder shall be transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and will (together with the TCI Option Plan) thereafter be immediately cancelled and of no further force and effect, and (b) the Options may be transferred pursuant to the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer in the TCI Option Plan, the Option Agreements (as defined in the Disclosure Schedule) or any other agreement entered into by such Option Holder with respect to such Options.

ARTICLE IX
Confidential Information

9.1. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that at no time after the Closing Date shall such Seller, directly or indirectly, use or disclose any Trade Secret of a Company except in connection with such Seller’s proper performance of his/her job duties as an employee of a Company or Buyer. Each Seller acknowledges that such Seller shall not, at any time during the five (5) year period following the Closing Date, disclose any Confidential Information to anyone other than to Representatives of the Buyer or in connection with such Seller’s proper performance of his/her job duties as an employee of a Company or Buyer. If Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by a Seller in connection with any Proceeding or pursuant to any Legal Requirement, then such Seller may disclose such Confidential Information as is required to be disclosed by such Proceeding or Legal Requirement after such Seller has given written notice to the Buyer of the intention to so disclose such Confidential Information (to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) and has given the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to contest the need for such disclosure, and such Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer in any reasonable respect, at the Buyer’s expense, in connection with any such contest). Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be construed to limit or supersede the common law of torts or statutory protection of Trade Secrets where such Legal Requirements provide Buyer or the Companies with greater protections or protections of a longer duration than that provided in this Section 9.1.

9.2. Enforcement. In addition to all other legal remedies available to the Buyer for the enforcement of the covenants of this Article IX, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain any breach or threatened breach hereof by such Seller.

ARTICLE X
Indemnification

10.1. Indemnification of the Buyer and the Companies. Subject to the limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers, severally (based on each Seller’s Fully Diluted Ownership Percentage) and not jointly, will indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses of or against the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement delivered hereunder on the part of the Sellers;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant of the Sellers contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement executed by a Seller; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Seller breaches any of the representations and warranties applicable to such Seller which are set forth in Article V, above, or in any Ancillary Agreement applicable only to that Seller, or (ii) if a Seller breaches any covenant applicable to such Seller after the Closing, then in each such case such Seller shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) (as opposed to such Seller’s Fully Diluted Ownership Percentage) of the Losses arising from such breach and no other Seller shall have liability for the same; provided, however, that a Buyer Indemnified Party may assert a claim solely applicable to a Seller against the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and if a payment is made to the Buyer Indemnified Party from the Indemnity Escrow Account on such individual claim, the Seller responsible for such Losses shall be obligated to pay each other non-responsible Seller an amount equal to the amount disbursed from the Indemnity Escrow Account on the individual claim times such non-responsible Seller’s Fully Diluted Ownership Percentage.

10.2. Indemnification of the Sellers. Subject to the limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer will indemnify each of the Sellers and their Affiliates (excluding, after the Closing, the Companies) (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses of or against the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement executed by the Buyer, (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement executed by the Buyer, and (c) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant of any Company contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by a Company following the Closing.

10.3. Procedure Relative to Indemnification.

(a) In the event that any party hereto shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the terms of this Article X, such party (the “Claiming Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties against which the claim is made (the “Indemnifying Party”) (it being understood that failure to so notify shall only affect liability to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced) in writing of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) promptly after the Claiming Party receives notice of any action, Proceeding, demand, assessment, claim, loss, liability or damages, whether or not involving any claim of a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), that may reasonably be expected to result in a claim for indemnification by the Claiming Party against the Indemnifying Party. The Claim Notice shall specify the breach of representation, warranty or covenant claimed by the Claiming

Party and the Losses incurred by, or anticipated to be incurred by, the Claiming Party on account thereof. If such Losses are final and liquidated in amount, the Claim Notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed the amount of the claim of the Claiming Party. If such Losses are not final and liquidated, the Claim Notice shall so state and in such event a claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Claiming Party, but no payment shall be made on account thereof until the amount of such claim is liquidated and the Losses are finally determined.

(b) The following provisions shall apply to claims of the Claiming Party which are based upon a Third Party Claim (including any form of Proceeding filed or instituted by any Governmental Body):

(i) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of such notice to notify the Claiming Party of its intent to defend, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, such Third Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party; provided, however, that if the Third Party Claim involves a matter solely of concern to the Claiming Party in addition to the claim for which indemnification under this Article X is being sought, such matter of sole concern shall be within the sole responsibility and expense of the Claiming Party and its counsel. The Claiming Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance (including, without limitation, access to employees) and materials as may be reasonably requested of the Claiming Party, and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at the Claiming Party’s expense, to participate in the defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such claim only with the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the following shall apply (in which case consent of the Claiming Party shall not be required): (A) such settlement provides the Claiming Party with a full release from such Third Party Claim; and (B) the sole relief provided in such settlement is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 10.4).

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or involves any customer or supplier of a Company, (B) such claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Claiming Party, (C) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to the Third Party Claim and counsel has advised that representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Claiming Party by the same counsel would constitute a conflict of interest, (D) the Third Party Claim has or would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to this Article X such that the Losses that would reasonably be expected to be borne by the Claiming Party would exceed the Losses reasonably be expected to be borne by the Indemnifying Party, or (E) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim.

(iii) In the event the Indemnifying Party is not permitted to or does not wish to defend the Third Party Claim, then the Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third Party Claim if it acts reasonably and in good faith upon seven (7) calendar days’ notice to, but without having to first obtain the consent of, the Indemnifying Party.

(iv) Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall also have the right within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes the merits of the Third Party Claim and/or that the Third Party Claim is the subject of indemnification hereunder. Such dispute shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s right to defend the Third Party Claim under subsection (i), above.

(c) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt of such Claim Notice to notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the amount of such claim shall be deemed, conclusively, a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the Claiming Party may pursue any and all other remedies available to it hereunder.

(d) For purposes of this Section 10.3 and subject to Article XIII, below, the Seller Representative will act on behalf of the Sellers; provided, that (i) if a Seller breaches any of the representations and warranties applicable to such Seller which are set forth in Article V, above, or in any Ancillary Agreement applicable only to that Seller, or (ii) if a Seller breaches any covenant applicable to such Seller after the Closing, then in each such case such Seller (and not the Seller Representative) shall act on behalf of such Seller for purposes of this Section 10.3.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the procedures in this Section 10.3 are in conflict with the procedures in the R&W Policy with regard to matters such as notice, control, settlement or defense of claims, the procedures in the R&W Policy shall control as long as the Claiming Party is in good faith pursuing recovery under the R&W Policy, but this Section 10.3 shall not relieve the Claiming Party from its obligations hereunder to give notice to the Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, each party and its agents and advisors shall reasonably cooperate with the insurer under the R&W Policy in connection with the defense of any matter which might reasonably constitute a Loss covered by the R&W Policy for which the Claiming Party is in good faith pursuing recovery under the R&W Policy. The insurer under the R&W Policy shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim or other matter reasonably likely to be covered by the R&W Policy.

10.4. Limits on Indemnification.

(a) De minimis Amount and Basket Amount. Subject to Section 10.4(e) below, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Losses (i) pursuant to Section 10.1(a), above, unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses from a single claim of indemnification exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) (the “De minimis Amount”) (it being understood if a common or related set of occurrences, events or set of facts results in Losses, such Losses shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the De minimis Amount has been satisfied) and unless and except to the extent that the aggregate Losses from all claims with respect thereto in excess of the De minimis Amount exceed, in the aggregate Three Hundred Twenty Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($320,500) (the “Basket Amount”), and then the Sellers’ obligation to provide such indemnification hereunder shall be only to the extent such Losses exceed the Basket Amount. The parties agree that (A) the De minimis Amount is to serve as a “trigger” for indemnification (and not a deductible), and (B) the Basket Amount is to serve as a “deductible.”

(b) Maximum Amount of Indemnification. Subject to Section 10.4(e) below, in no event shall the Sellers’ obligation to provide indemnification for Losses under Section 10.1(a), above, exceed, in the aggregate, the Indemnification Limit.

(c) Escrow Amount. Any amounts owing from the Sellers pursuant to this Article X shall (i) first be made to the fullest extent possible from the funds held pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow Account held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (ii) second, recovered under the R&W Policy in accordance with its terms, and (iii) third, recovered from the Sellers (subject to the limitations set forth herein including Sections 10.4(a), (b) and (e) in this Article X).

(d) R&W Policy. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover Losses under the R&W Policy; provided that if the insurer advises the Buyer in writing that it is disputing coverage for a claim under the R&W Policy, the Buyer Indemnitees may concurrently seek recovery from the Sellers (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X) and the R&W Policy provided that any recoveries from the Sellers shall be subject to the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ reimbursement obligations set forth in the first sentence of Section 10.4(g).

(e) Fundamental Representations; Fraud. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.4(a) and 10.4(b), above, to the contrary, the limitations set forth in such Sections shall not apply to limit the indemnification to which the Buyer shall be entitled for Losses from any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation, or with respect to any Losses arising from Fraud; provided, however, that in no event shall a Seller’s obligation to provide indemnification for Losses under Section 10.1, above, exceed, in the aggregate, the portion of the Purchase Price paid to such Seller under this Agreement.

(f) Survival. Each of the warranties and representations of the Sellers and the Buyer contained in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Agreements other than the Fundamental Representations and the Environmental Representations shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Environmental Representations shall survive the Closing and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the underlying claim (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days. All of the covenants of the Sellers, the Companies and the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive after the Closing in accordance with their terms and claims with respect to breaches of such covenants shall be brought within the statute of limitations applicable to such claim. Any claim for indemnification hereunder which is made in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, and the rights of indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive such expiration until resolved or judicially determined and any claim for indemnification not submitted in writing to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall be deemed to have been waived and shall be absolutely and forever barred and unenforceable, null and void, and of no force or effect whatsoever, and the Indemnifying Party shall have no further liability with respect thereto.

(g) Losses Net of Insurance and Tax Benefits. With respect to any matter covered by this Article X, the Claiming Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (without having to litigate) to assert all claims it reasonably believes it has under all applicable insurance policies (including the R&W Policy) and any Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by the Claiming Party (net of any costs of collection, including increased premiums), and, to the extent that insurance proceeds are collected by the Claiming Party (including payments collected under the R&W Policy) after indemnification payments hereunder have been paid to the Claiming Party with respect to such Losses excluding payments paid by an Indemnifying Party in satisfaction of the Indemnification Limit, the Claiming Party will refund the indemnity payments to the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of the insurance proceeds received by the Claiming Party (net of any costs of collection, including increased premiums). In addition, Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article X shall be net of any Tax benefit that may be realized by the Claiming Party as a result of the applicable Loss in the tax year the Losses were incurred.

(h) Manner of Calculation. For the purposes of determining (a) whether there has been a breach of representation and warranty hereunder and (b) the amount of Loss related to a breach of any representation or warranty for which a Claiming Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, any materiality qualification (including terms such as “material” and “Material Adverse Effect”) shall be disregarded; provided that such terms shall not be disregarded in the name of defined terms (e.g., “Material Contracts”) and their respective definitions, dollar thresholds shall not be disregarded and such terms shall not be disregarded in Section 4.13 or the second sentence of Section 4.19.

(i) Assignment; Reimbursement. The Claiming Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all Losses paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Claiming Party pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such amount is subsequently paid to the Claiming Party by any Person other than the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that this Section 10.4(i) shall not apply in the event of any insurance proceeds which are addressed as set forth in Section 10.4(g).

(j) Mitigation. Each Claiming Party shall take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of such Losses subject to indemnification hereunder, it being understood that the reasonable costs of such mitigation shall constitute Losses hereunder.

10.5. Sole Remedy. From and after the Closing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy against the Sellers, whether in any individual, corporate or any other capacity, with respect to any and all claims relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, shall be pursuant to the provisions of this Article X and the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, all of such remedies, entitlements and recourse being expressly waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements. Except for the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(c), no Person (including the Sellers) shall have any obligation to fund the Escrow Account. No Buyer Indemnified Party may avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Article X by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability. Nothing in this Section 10.5 shall limit the rights of a party hereto to seek specific performance of the other parties’ obligations hereunder in accordance with Sections 9.2 or 14.3. Nothing in this Section 10.5 shall limit a party’s right to bring a claim for Fraud.

10.6. No Duplication of Warranties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) no Claiming Party may recover duplicative Losses in respect of a single set of facts or circumstances under more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement whether such facts or circumstances would give rise to a breach of more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement, and (b) the Buyer Indemnified Parties may not assert any claim under Section 10.1, above, for any item of Losses in the event and to the extent the Buyer has received credit for a reserve for such item in the preparation of the Final Working Capital Statement or otherwise received recovery of such item as a result of the final Purchase Price determination.

10.7. Distribution of Indemnity Escrow.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the amount of any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article X, the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Buyer Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer, the amount of such Losses from the Indemnity Escrow Account.

(b) On the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release 95.134% of all funds then held in the Indemnity Escrow Account (excluding the amount of any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party has timely made a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article X and which claim has not been finally determined in accordance with this Article X as of such eighteen (18) month date (the “Excluded Losses”)) to the Seller Representative for distribution to the Sellers (pro rata in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) and to release 4.866% of all funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account (excluding the Excluded Losses) to TCI for payment to the Option Holders (pro rata in accordance with their respective Option Ownership Percentages). At any time following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent that the Indemnity Escrow Account retained for Excluded Losses exceeds the aggregate amount then claimed by Buyer Indemnified Parties as Excluded Losses, then the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to distribute such excess amount to Seller Representative and TCI in accordance with the preceding sentence in this Section 10.7(b).

ARTICLE XI
Tax Matters

11.1. Tax Returns.

(a) The Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, will be responsible for preparing and filing with the appropriate Governmental Bodies all income Tax Returns with respect to the Companies for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and each Seller hereby covenants and agrees to pay (severally in accordance with his or its respective Unit Ownership Percentage) all income Tax shown as due and be entitled to receive all income Tax shown as overpaid on such income Tax Returns (except to the extent such income Tax is reflected in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount). The Buyer and its Affiliates, including, after the Closing, TCI, will cooperate with the Seller Representative and make available all necessary Records and timely take all action necessary to allow the Seller Representative to prepare and file any such income Tax Returns (including, without limitation, by providing or causing to be provided to the Seller Representative any powers of attorney that the Seller Representative reasonably requests for purposes of filing any such income Tax Returns). The Sellers will prepare such income Tax Returns in accordance with the Companies’ most recent Tax practices as to elections and accounting methods. The Sellers shall be entitled to deduct all transaction costs incurred by the Companies relating to the transactions contemplated hereunder, including any compensatory bonus payments, on such income Tax Returns. The Seller Representative will deliver to the Buyer a copy of such income Tax Returns for the period from January 1, 2018 through the Closing Date.

(b) Seller Representative shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns for TCI International for any Straddle Period. The Seller Representative shall provide Buyer with copies of such Tax Returns for Buyer’s review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing due date. Following receipt of its copy of each such Tax

Return, the Buyer shall have a period of fifteen (15) days to provide the Seller Representative with a statement of any disputed items with respect to such Tax Return. In the event that the Seller Representative and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement with respect to any disputed items within a period of five (5) days after the Seller Representative’s receipt of such statement, all such disputed items shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for final resolution prior to the applicable filing due date. The Seller Representative will prepare such Tax Return on a basis consistent with past practices of TCI International. The Sellers shall be responsible (pro rata in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) for, and shall pay, the pre-Closing portion of any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns in excess of any Tax accrual related thereto which is taken into account in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount. The Seller Representative shall pay the Sellers’ portion of such Taxes from the Seller Representative Fund. Sellers shall be responsible severally (pro rata based on their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) for, and shall pay, such Taxes after all amounts have been exhausted under the Seller Representative Fund.

(c) The Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and shall timely file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Companies due after the Closing Date that are not described in Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(b). In the case of any Taxes of the Companies that are payable with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) not described in Section 11.1(a), Sellers shall be responsible (pro rata in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) for, and shall pay, any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns in excess of any Tax accrual related thereto which is taken into account in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount (the “Pre-Closing Non-Income Taxes”). The Seller Representative shall pay all Pre-Closing Non-Income Taxes from the Seller Representative Fund. Sellers shall be responsible severally (pro rata based on their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) for, and shall pay, any Pre-Closing Non-Income Taxes after all amounts have been exhausted under the Seller Representative Fund. In the case of any Taxes of the Companies that are payable with respect to any Tax period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the Sellers shall be responsible (pro rata in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) for, and shall pay, the pre-Closing portion of any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns in excess of any Tax accrual related thereto which is taken into account in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount. The Seller Representative shall pay the Sellers’ portion of all Straddle Period Taxes from the Seller Representative Fund. Sellers shall be responsible severally (pro rata based on their respective Unit Ownership Percentages) for, and shall pay, the Sellers’ portion of all Straddle Period Taxes after all amounts have been exhausted under the Seller Representative Fund. The Buyer shall provide Seller Representative with copies of the Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods described in this Section 11.1(c) and Straddle Period Tax Returns (except as set forth in Section 11.1(b)) for Seller Representative’s review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing due date. Following receipt of its copy of each such Tax Return, the Seller Representative shall have a period of fifteen (15) days to provide the Buyer with a statement of any disputed items with respect to such Tax Return. In the event that the Seller Representative and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement with respect to any disputed items within a period of five (5)

days after the Buyer’s receipt of such statement, all such disputed items shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for final resolution prior to the applicable filing due date. The Buyer will prepare all Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods described in this Section 11.1(c) and all Straddle Period Tax Returns (except as set forth in Section 11.1(b)) on a basis consistent with past practices of the Companies.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Companies that are allocable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are attributable to the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based on or measured by income, receipts, capital, net worth, employment, payroll, sales, use, or other similar Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the end of the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes not described in clause (i), be deemed the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including, without limitation, the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

11.2. Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) attributable to the Sellers’ sale of the Subject Securities to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be paid by 50% Buyer and 50% by Sellers when due, and Buyer shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Sellers shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Seller Representative shall, on behalf of the Sellers, pay the Sellers’ portion of all Taxes payable under this Section 11.2 from the Seller Representative Fund. Sellers shall be responsible severally (pro rata based on their respective Fully Diluted Ownership Percentages) for the Sellers’ portion of all Taxes payable under this Section 11.2 after all amounts have been exhausted under the Seller Representative Fund.

11.3. Tax Proceedings. In the event the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including a Company, receives any oral or written communication regarding any pending or threatened examination, claim, adjustment or other Proceeding with respect to the liability of a Company for Taxes for any period for which the Sellers are liable under this Agreement (a “Tax Claim”), the Buyer will, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, notify the Seller Representative in writing thereof. If the Sellers are liable under this Agreement for such Taxes, the Seller Representative will be entitled, at its sole expense, in accordance with Article X hereof, to control or settle the contest of any examination, claim, adjustment or Proceeding that could give rise to such liability. The Seller Representative will keep the Buyer fully and timely informed with respect to the

commencement, status and nature of any Tax Claim. The Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Companies, will cooperate fully with the Seller Representative in handling any such Tax Claim, Tax audit, administrative Tax Proceeding or other Tax Proceeding. The Buyer will provide, or cause to be provided to the Seller Representative or its designee, all necessary authorizations, including powers of attorney, to control any Proceeding which the Seller Representative is entitled to control in connection with this Section 11.3; provided that the Seller Representative shall not settle any claim that results in any additional Tax or reduction of any Tax attribute of Buyer or the Companies for any period ending after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

11.4. Tax Refunds. To the extent not included in the calculation of the Working Capital Amount, the Companies shall pay, and the Buyer shall cause the Companies to pay, to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Unit Ownership Percentages, any Tax refunds that are received by the Buyer or Companies, and any amounts credited against any Tax of the Buyer or Companies to which the Buyer or Companies become entitled, attributable to periods for which the Sellers have liability for such Taxes under this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by the Buyer or the Companies. Neither the Companies nor Buyer shall amend a return for a pre-Closing Tax period without the consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11.5. Tax Matters. The parties acknowledge that there will be payments for Transaction Bonus Plans and Sellers’ Partner Plan Liability paid to employees and service providers of TCI and Closing Option Consideration paid to Option Holders with respect to the transactions that will occur or be accrued on or before the Closing Date (collectively, the “Transaction Compensation Payments”), and the parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements as reasonably determined by Seller Representative, (i) all deductions attributable to the Transaction Compensation Payments shall be reported on Tax Returns for the pre-Closing Tax periods and (ii) no party shall take, or cause any of its Affiliates to take, any position that is inconsistent with the foregoing.

11.6. Post-Closing Tax Filings. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own determinations with respect to state and foreign Tax filings for the operation of the Business and the Companies post-Closing and it shall not rely on the pre-Closing practices of any Company with respect to such filings.

11.7. Statute of Limitations. After the Closing Date, Buyer and the Companies will not, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of the Companies for any pre-Closing Tax period.

11.8. Prohibited Actions. Without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, the Buyer shall not, nor shall it permit any Affiliate (including a Company) to, take any of the following actions if such actions would adversely impact the Sellers: (i) file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of a Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (ii) file any voluntary disclosure agreement, participate in any arrangement similar to a voluntary disclosure agreement, or voluntarily approach any Taxing Authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of a Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period; (iii) take

any action relating to Taxes or that could create a Tax liability for the Seller or a Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (iv) carry back any net operating losses to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the appointment of the Seller Representative for such Seller is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked. Xxxxxx Xxxx (a) accepts its appointment and authorization to act as attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of each such Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and (b) agrees to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements and otherwise comply with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Each Seller fully and completely, without restrictions, agrees to be bound by all notices received, Contracts and determinations made and documents executed and delivered by the Seller Representative under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, authorizes the Seller Representative to (i) engage attorneys, accountants and agents at the expense of the Sellers (which expenses shall be borne by each Seller in accordance with their respective Fully Diluted Ownership Percentages), (ii) dispute or refrain from disputing any indemnification claim made by a Claiming Party under Article X of this Agreement, (iii) negotiate, compromise and settle any dispute which may arise under Article II or Article X of this Agreement, (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available to the parties under Article II or Article X of this Agreement, (v) sign any releases or other documents with respect to any dispute or remedy referenced in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, (vi) waive any condition, obligation, right or remedy contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (vii) review matters related to the Statements and the final Purchase Price, (viii) prepare and file income Tax Returns with respect to the Companies, or (ix) pursue claims against Buyer for a breach of this Agreement by Buyer and give such instructions and do such other things and refrain from doing such other things as the Seller Representative in its sole discretion deems necessary or appropriate in respect of the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Seller Representative have the authority to (i) amend this Agreement, or (ii) to act on behalf of a Seller in connection with any indemnification claim made under Section 10.1 hereof for which such Seller is

responsible for one hundred percent (100%) (as opposed to such Seller’s Fully Diluted Ownership Percentage) of the Losses arising from such breach.

13.2. Liability of Seller Representative. In connection with the performance of its duties hereunder and the administration of the Seller Representative Fund, the Seller Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or for any acts or omissions of any kind taken in good faith in connection with this Agreement or the Seller Representative Fund.

13.3. Losses and Expenses of Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall be reimbursed by the Sellers for all Fund Liabilities paid or incurred by the Seller Representative that are not covered by the Seller Representative Fund.

13.4. Buyer’s Reliance on Seller Representative. The Buyer shall have the right to rely conclusively upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon all the Sellers.

13.5. Appointment of Successor Seller Representative. In the event that the Seller Representative becomes unable to continue in his capacity as Seller Representative or resigns as the Seller Representative, Centerfield Capital Partners II, L.P. shall provide written notice to the Purchaser of the Person to serve as Seller Representative. Upon such notice to Purchaser and written acceptance by such successor Seller Representative to serve as Seller Representative, such successor Seller Representative shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties and obligations of the applicable original Seller Representative without further act.

14.3. Right to Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that there is no adequate remedy at law for the damage which any of them might sustain for the failure of the others to consummate this Agreement, and, accordingly, that each of them is entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance to enforce such consummation.

14.4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits) and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, correspondence, discussions and understandings of the parties (whether oral or written) are merged herein and made a part hereof, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall serve as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement together. The provisions of this Section 14.4 and the limited remedies provided in Article X were specifically bargained for between the Sellers and Buyer and were taken into account by the Sellers and Buyer in arriving at the Purchase Price. The Sellers have specifically relied upon the provisions of this Section 14.4 and the limited remedies provided in Article X in agreeing to the Purchase Price and in agreeing to provide the specific representations and warranties set forth herein. No amendment, waiver or modification hereto or hereunder shall be valid unless in writing signed by an authorized signatory of the party or parties to be affected thereby.

14.5. Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption of burden of

proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation.

14.6. Assignment. This Agreement and the rights hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative in the case of the Buyer, or without the prior written consent of the Buyer in the case of any Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, (a) assign any or all of their rights hereunder to one or more of their Affiliates, (b) designate one or more of their Affiliates to perform their obligations hereunder, (c) assign their rights, but not their obligations, under this Agreement to any of their financing sources and (d) assign any or all of their rights to any third-party who subsequently purchases all or substantially all of the then existing assets of the Companies in a single transaction or series of related transactions; provided that a merger or sale of equity shall not be deemed to be an assignment and provided further, that in the event of an assignment under (a) or (b), the Buyer shall also remain obligated hereunder. In the case of any assignment by a Seller hereunder to which the Buyer has consented, the assigning Seller shall also remain obligated hereunder unless all other Sellers hereto have otherwise consented to such assignment.

14.7. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

14.8. Paragraph Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience and ease of reference only and shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any part of this Agreement.

14.9. Severability. The parties agree that if any provision of this Agreement shall under any circumstances be deemed invalid or inoperative, this Agreement shall be construed with the invalid or inoperative provision deleted, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

14.10. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles and conflicts of law. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agree not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts). The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue on any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of Delaware or the United States of America located in the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.2.

14.11. Use of Terms. In this Agreement (a) the words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereto”, “hereunder” and words of similar import may refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a specific section, paragraph or clause in which the respective word appears, (b) the word “or” is not exclusive, (c) words importing gender include the other genders as appropriate, and (d) any terms defined in this Agreement may, unless the context otherwise requires, be used in the singular or the plural depending on the reference.

14.12. Counterparts; Electronic Copy. This Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered but one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. A facsimile or portable document signature of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement shall be as effective as an original.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that all documents or other items delivered to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or uploaded and made available in the Data Room on or before the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been delivered, provided or made available to Buyer for all purposes hereunder.
