The Buyer shall instruct the Paying Agent to make payment of the foregoing consideration, for any Stockholder who has submitted a Letter of Transmittal duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such Letter of Transmittal, prior to the Closing, by check or, if wire instructions have been provided, by same day wire transfer, as soon as practicable but in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Time, and for all other Stockholders, within two (2) Business Days following receipt by the Paying Agent of a Letter of Transmittal duly executed. For the avoidance of doubt, a registered holder of record of Company Stock need not surrender a certificate evidencing shares of Company Stock to the Paying Agent in order to receive the applicable Per Net Share Merger Consideration that the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to this Section 1.10 if such holder is holding uncertificated Company Stock. (c) Return of Funds from Paying Agent. Any portion of amounts deposited with the Paying Agent that remain undistributed to the Stockholders six (6) months after their deposit with the Paying Agent shall, at the request of the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation (or its applicable successor in interest or assignee) or otherwise according to the instruction of the Surviving Corporation (or its applicable successor in interest or assignee), and any holders of the Company Stock who have not surrendered such Company Stock compliance with this Section 1.10 shall after such delivery to the Surviving Corporation, look only to the Surviving Corporation (or its applicable successor in interest or assignee) solely as general creditors for the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8 (Effect of the Merger). To the extent permitted under applicable Law, any such amounts deposited with the Paying Agent remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation (or its applicable successor in interest or assignee) free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. (d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.10, none of the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent, the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholder Representative or any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. 21
1.11 Dissenters Rights. Shares of the Company Stock held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by a Stockholder who has not voted such shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted pursuant to Section 1.8 (Effect of Merger), but shall thereafter constitute only the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation, in consideration of the cancellation of such shares, such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. If a holder of Dissenting Shares (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) forfeits or withdraws such right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into and to represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of the Company Stock pursuant to Section 1.8 (Effect of Merger), without interest. 1.12 Tax Withholding. The Buyer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, and the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Company Equity Plan, the Letters of Transmittal or any Ancillary Agreement, to or for the benefit of any Person such amounts as it is reasonably determines this it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and properly paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Except with respect to payments treated as compensation, the Buyer shall take commercially reasonable efforts to notify the respective payees of any amounts that it intends to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of such payment, and the Buyer shall consider in good faith any comments from the respective payees with respect to such withheld amounts. 1.13 Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Sub, the officers and directors from time to time of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of the Company and the Merger Sub, as the case may be, or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action as is consistent with this Agreement.

(a) As promptly as is practicable after receiving any request from any appropriate Governmental Entity for information, documents, or other materials in connection with the review of the Antitrust Filings, each of Buyer and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with such request and, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Law, permit the other parties’ legal counsel to review in advance any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity to the extent that such review will not result in the waiver of any applicable privilege and subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements. Buyer and the Company shall cooperate reasonably with the others, in connection with resolving any inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust Filings. Buyer and the Company shall promptly inform the other of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, agreement, or undertaking with any Governmental Entity relating to its Antitrust Filing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing shall require or be construed to require Buyer or any of its Affiliates, in order to obtain the consent or successful termination or expiration of any review of any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions, to (i) sell or hold separate, or agree to sell or hold separate, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or any interests in any assets or businesses, of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (or to consent to any sale, or agreement to sell, by Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary or by any of their respective Affiliates of any assets or businesses, or any interests in any assets or businesses), or any material change in or restriction on the operation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of any assets or businesses (including any assets or businesses of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries), (ii) modify any of the terms of this Agreement, or the Transactions, or (iii) initiate or participate in any legal proceeding with respect to any such matters. 4.6 Nonsolicitation.

members, directors, officers, Affiliates, financial advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) shall, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with any Person other than the Buyer and its designees: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly entertain or agree to any proposals or offers from any Person relating to (A) any merger, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, (B) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of any equity or ownership interest in the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, whether by issuance by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or by purchase (through a tender offer, exchange offer, negotiated purchase or otherwise, but excluding option exercises) from any Stockholder or otherwise, or (C) the license or transfer of all or a material portion of the assets (other than non-exclusive licenses entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (any of the transactions described in clauses (A) through (C), a “Third-Party Acquisition”), or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate with, facilitate or knowingly encourage any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek, a Third-Party Acquisition.

Prior to seeking such stockholder approval, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each “disqualified individual” (as defined under Section 280G(c) of the Code) with a right to any potential “parachute payment” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) a waiver of that right (“Waived 280G Benefits”) such that unless such payment to that disqualified individual is approved by stockholders in a manner described in Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code, no such payment will be made. Within a reasonable period of time prior to soliciting such waivers and vote, the Company shall provide a draft of such waivers 57
and such stockholder vote solicitation materials (together with any calculations and supporting documentation) to Buyer for Buyer’s review, and the Company will consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by Buyer. To the extent that any of the Waived 280G Benefits are not approved by the stockholders of the Company as contemplated above, such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made or provided in any manner. 4.9 Public Disclosure. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise required by Law (including applicable securities Laws), regulatory authority or court order or, with respect to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, by listing agreement, no disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) of the existence or subject matter of this Agreement shall be made by any party hereto (including any third-party representatives of Buyer, the Company, Stockholder Representative, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective controlled Affiliates) (other than any filing by Buyer or any of its Affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other Governmental Entity as required by applicable Law, any communications with any Securityholder and third parties to obtain the consents and approvals required under this Agreement and applicable Law, or any communications by a Stockholder with its limited partners, members or other investors), whether before or after the Closing, unless approved by the Buyer prior to release; provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further that in no event shall any party or Representative make any such disclosure prior to the Buyer issuing a press release publicly announcing this Agreement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that either the Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (or any of its or their respective Affiliates) is required by Law or any listing or trading agreement to make any such disclosure, such Party shall notify the other prior to making such disclosure and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give the other an opportunity (as is reasonable under the circumstances) to comment on such disclosure. The Buyer shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any press release that the Buyer intends to issue to publicly announce this Agreement and shall consider any such comments from the Company in good faith. 4.10 Termination of Company Options. The Company will use reasonable efforts to arrange for the termination of (i) the Company Equity Plan, and (ii) all Company Options, contingent upon the Closing and automatically effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. 4.11 Resignation of Officers and Directors. The Company shall obtain the resignations of the members of the Company Board and the statutory officers of the Company set forth in Schedule 4.11 effective as of the Closing; provided that, in each case, such resignations shall not prejudice in any manner any contractual rights such Person may have with the Company, its Subsidiaries and any successor entities. 4.12 Certain Deliveries.

4.13 Supplementation of Disclosure Schedule; Notification of Certain Matter. From time to time, as of the date of the Agreement Date and prior to the Closing, the Company or Buyer, as the case may be, shall give written notice to the other Party(ies) promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause any condition set forth in this Agreement to be unsatisfied on the Closing Date. The Company and Buyer shall have the right to supplement the Disclosure Schedule with respect to any such matter solely to the extent related to a breach of representation or warranty arising out of facts or circumstances occurring after the Agreement Date. Such notice and any such supplement shall not (x) be deemed to supplement, amend or cure the Disclosure Schedule or any such representation and warranty for the purpose of determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Section 7, 8 or 9, as applicable, have been satisfied, or (y) affect any party’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 10, as applicable; or otherwise limit or affect the Buyer’s or Stockholders’ rights or remedies available hereunder in respect of such inaccuracy or breach, unless the representation and warranty was true and correct at the Agreement Date, the untruth or inaccuracy does not arise out of a breach of the covenants in this Agreement, and the disclosing party stipulates that such information will cause the condition in Section 7, 8 or 9, as applicable, to fail to be satisfied, and the Buyer or Stockholder Representative, as applicable, waives such condition in writing or otherwise effects the Closing, in which case the waiving party (whether such waiver is effected through a writing or by otherwise effecting the Closing) will cease to have any right to indemnification for such inaccuracy or breach. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, any failure to make a disclosure required by this Section 4.13 shall, for the purposes of Section 10 of this Agreement, be treated as a breach of the underlying representation and warranty and not a breach of covenant. 4.14 Required Financial Statements. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its independent auditors and other representatives to, at the Buyer’s expense, (i) reasonably cooperate with and assist Buyer and its representatives in the preparation and (if necessary) modification of such financial statements of or relating to the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as shall be necessary for Buyer to comply timely with its obligations to file financial statements with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, in each case meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and all other applicable accounting rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder (including financial statements required by Item 9.01(a)(1) of Form 8-K and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b)(1) of Form 8-K), or with respect to any future registration statement or private offering that may be filed or conducted by Buyer or its Affiliates where inclusion of such financial statements is required, and (ii) cooperate with and assist Buyer and its representatives in obtaining any consents of the Company’s independent auditors to include and/or incorporate any of the Company’s audited financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon required to be filed, incorporated by reference or included in any disclosure document in connection with a public or private offering of securities of Buyer or its Affiliates. 4.15 Indian Subsidiary Stock Transfer; Consents. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have caused the owner of the one share of Onshape India Private Limited to execute and deliver transfer documents to the Buyer, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, on or prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall provide forms of such transfer documents to the Company promptly after the date hereof. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts 59
to cooperate with Buyer, to the extent Buyer requests such efforts, to obtain the consents listed on Schedule 4.15 prior to the Closing. SECTION 5 COVENANTS OF THE BUYER 5.1 Representations and Warranties. Until the earlier of the Effective Time and termination of this Agreement, the Buyer will not take any action that would cause any of the representations and warranties made by the Buyer in this Agreement not to be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing Date. 5.2 Efforts.

Effective Time, and (iii) contains coverage terms comparable to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). The entire cost of the Company D&O Tail Policy, including any and all premiums, expenses, fees and other costs, will be treated as a Transaction Expense hereunder. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer evidence of the amount of all such costs. If the Merger is consummated, then the Buyer shall maintain the Company D&O Tail Policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, provided the obligations contained in this sentence shall not require the Buyer to incur any expenses in connection therewith. (c) The provisions of this Section 5.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Indemnitees and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. No Party to this Agreement shall take any action as to materially and adversely affect any Company Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.4 applies without the prior written consent of such Company Indemnitee. (d) In the event the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, commercially reasonable efforts shall be undertaken to ensure that proper provisions are made so that the successors and assigns of the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4. 5.5 Employment and Benefits Arrangements. (a) Within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Time (expected to be on or about December 1, 2019, subject to any delays in the Closing Date), the Buyer shall enroll each individual who is employed by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and who remains employed thereafter by the Surviving Corporation or the Buyer (each a “Continuing Employee”) in the Buyer’s employee benefit plans (including any severance plans) for which such employees are eligible (the “Buyer Plans”), providing for benefits that, in the Buyer’s discretion, are substantially similar in the aggregate to the benefits provided by the Buyer to its employees who are generally similarly situated (i.e. regular full time, part-time, temporary, intern) to such Employees, and the Buyer shall, to the extent permissible under such Buyer Plan, recognize the prior service with the Company of each of such Employees for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not benefit accruals) under the Buyer Plans. Buyer shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cause each applicable Buyer Plan to waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the relevant insurance carriers, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements and pre-existing condition limitations. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and the relevant insurance carriers and to the extent applicable in the plan year that contains the Closing Date and subject to the timing of the addition of the Continuing Employees to the Buyer Plans and subject to the reasonable cooperation of the applicable Employees, Employees shall be given credit under the applicable Buyer Plan for amounts paid during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs under a corresponding benefit plan of the Company for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums, as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Buyer Plan. 61
(b) Nothing in this Section 5.5, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.5. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Section 5.5 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant of Company in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or any other matter. Nothing in this Section 5.5 is intended (i) to amend any Company Benefit Plan or any benefit plans or programs of Buyer, (ii) interfere with Buyer’s right from and after the Closing Date to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or benefit plan or program of Buyer, or (iii) interfere with Buyer’s right from and after the Effective Time to terminate the employment or provision of services by any director, employee, independent contractor or consultant. SECTION 6 TAX COVENANTS 6.1 Consistent Tax Reporting. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Stockholders, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Buyer shall treat and report the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement in all respects consistently with the provisions of this Agreement for purposes of any federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax. 6.2 Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. The Surviving Corporation shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Taxable Periods”) that are required to be filed (including giving effect to any applicable extensions) after the Closing Date. The Buyer shall permit the Stockholder Representative to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the prior sentence at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to filing. If the Stockholder Representative does not provide Buyer with a written description of the items in the Tax Returns that it intends to dispute within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery to it of such Tax Return, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to such Tax Return in the form provided. Buyer, Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative agree to consult with each other and to resolve in good faith any timely-raised issue arising as a result of the Stockholder Representative’s review of such Tax Returns to permit the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as possible. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of written notice by the Stockholder Representative of such dispute, such remaining disputed items shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant for prompt determination in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue. If the Independent Accountant is unable to make a determination with respect to any disputed issue not later than five (5) Business Days before the due date (including extensions) for the filing of the Tax Return in question, then the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation may file such Tax Return on the due date (including extensions) therefor without such determination having been made and without the consent of the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, that such Tax Return shall incorporate such changes as have at the time of such filing been agreed to by the Parties pursuant to this Section 6.2. Notwithstanding the filing of such Tax Return, the Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue, and the amount of Taxes, if any, with respect to which the Stockholders are be responsible pursuant to this Section 6.2 and Section 10 with respect to the filing of such Tax Return shall be calculated 62
consistently with such determination. The Stockholder Representative and Buyer shall each bear one-half of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses, and the determination of the Independent Accountant shall be binding on all parties. All Tax Returns to be prepared by or for the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by Law. Except to the extent that such Taxes are taken into account as a liability in the final determination of Net Working Capital, to the extent any Taxes are shown as due on any final Tax Return prepared pursuant to this Section 6.2, the Buyer and the Stockholder Representative will instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer or the Surviving Corporation by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than five (5) days before such Taxes are to be paid, to the account designated by the Buyer, the amount thereof. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 shall excuse the Stockholders from the responsibility for their share, as determined in accordance with Section 10, of any such Tax if the amount of Taxes as ultimately determined (on audit or otherwise) for the periods covered by any Tax Returns to which this Section 6.2 applies exceeds the amount determined under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2. 6.3 Tax Periods That Include But Do Not End on the Closing Date. The Surviving Corporation shall cause to be prepared and filed any Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary for taxable periods that include but do not end on the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be subject to the same review, approval and dispute resolution process described in Section 6.2. All Tax Returns to be prepared by or for the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by Law. Except to the extent that such Taxes are taken into account as a liability in the final determination of Net Working Capital, to the extent that any Taxes are shown as due on any final Tax Return prepared pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Buyer and the Stockholder Representative will instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer or the Surviving Corporation the portion of such Taxes that relate to the pre-Closing portion of such taxable period by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than five (5) days before such Taxes are to be paid, to the account designated by the Buyer, the amount thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the pre-Closing portion of such taxable period shall (a) in the case of any property or similar ad valorem Taxes, 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 including and ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (b) in the case of any Tax other than those covered by the foregoing clause (a), be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be allocated on a basis consistent with the allocations made pursuant to the preceding sentence. Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 shall excuse the Stockholders from the responsibility for their share, as determined in accordance with Section 10, of any such Tax if the amount of Taxes as ultimately determined (on audit or otherwise) for the periods covered by any Tax Returns to which this Section 6.3 applies exceeds the amount determined under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3. 6.4 Tax Treatment. Buyer and the Stockholders intend that the Company and the Subsidiaries will join Buyer’s U.S. consolidated income Tax group upon the consummation of the 63
Merger, and as a result the Tax year of the Company and the Subsidiaries will end for U.S. federal income Tax purposes on the Closing Date. Buyer and the Stockholders agree that the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Company or the Subsidiaries for such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502- 76(b)(1)(ii). None of Buyer, the Stockholders, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates shall make a ratable allocation election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. 6.5 Cooperation on Tax Matters. (a) The Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate fully, to the extent reasonably requested by the others, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and other representatives reasonably to cooperate, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.2 (Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date) and Section 6.3 (Tax Periods That Include But Do Not End on the Closing Date) or otherwise, and any audit, examination, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (each, a “Contest”) and will provide prompt written notice thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return filing or Contest and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. (b) The Stockholders and the Stockholder Representative agree that all books and records in their possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof are the property of the Company and, subsequent to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation. The Stockholders shall deliver all such books and records to the Company prior to Closing. After the Closing the Surviving Corporation shall make available to the Stockholder Representative such books and records to the extent reasonably necessary for the Stockholder Representative’s review and comment of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.2 (Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date) or Section 6.3 (Tax Periods That Include But Do Not End on the Closing Date), or for any other reasonable purpose related to the Stockholders’ ownership of the Company prior to the Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such refunds of Taxes shall be for the account of Buyer (and shall not be required to be paid to the Stockholders) to the extent such refunds of Taxes are (i) attributable to the carryback of items of loss, deduction or credit, or other Tax items of the Company (or any of their respective Affiliates, including Buyer) for a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or (ii) were taken into account as an asset in the final determination of Net Working Capital.

Such amended Tax Return shall be filed within thirty (30) days of such request.

The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Section 10 shall be reduced by the amount by which (a) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Loss exceeds (b) the amount of reasonable and documented expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in procuring such insurance recovery, including reasonable legal fees and expenses and any increased premiums or costs as a result of such claim for which insurance proceeds are received. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

In the event the BLS declines to accept the action or proceeding, it may be brought in the Superior Court for Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. (c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ESCROW AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO EACH PARTY’S EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OR ANY ACTIONS OF ANY OF THE AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY OTHER PARTY RELATED THERETO. (d) EACH OF THE STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE, THE COMPANY, BUYER AND MERGER SUB (1) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, 79
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTIES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, (2) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (3) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND (4) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.3. 12.4 No Prejudice. The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnified Parties based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any investigation conducted by Buyer or Merger Sub or any agent of Buyer or Merger Sub with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Buyer or Merger Sub or any agent of Buyer or Merger Sub at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, and no Indemnified Party shall (other than for a claim for Fraud) be required to show that it relied on any (and each Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have relied on each) such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company in order to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10. Except as provided for in Section 4.13, the waiver by Buyer or Merger Sub of any of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1-8.5 will not affect or limit the provisions of Section 10.2(a), (b), or (c). 12.5 Specific Performance and Other Remedies. Each party hereby acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the Transactions and the covenants of the parties are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, in the event that any party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it herein, the non-breaching party may be without an adequate remedy at Law. In the event that any party violates or fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by such party herein, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to the exercise of other remedies pursuant to Section 10, to seek and (subject to court approval) obtain injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief, without necessity of posting a bond, restraining such party from committing such breach or threatened breach. 12.6 No Waiver. Other than as provided in Section 4.13, no failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. 12.7 Binding Effect.

Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the commission of any act contrary to Law. Should there be any conflict between any provisions hereof and any present or future statute, Law, ordinance, regulation, or other pronouncement having the force of Law, the latter shall prevail, but the provision of this Agreement affected thereby shall be curtailed and limited to the extent necessary to bring it into compliance therewith, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 12.14 No Strict Construction.

(a) 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 and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Stockholder shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and hereby designates, the Stockholder Representative as the representative, exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Stockholders and each Stockholder (i) agrees that all actions taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be binding upon such Stockholder and its successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Stockholder, and (ii) waives any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or and Ancillary Agreements. The Stockholder Representative shall, on behalf of the Stockholders: 82
(i) take all action permitted in connection with the implementation of those provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements that require or permit action by the Stockholder Representative; (ii) take all action permitted in connection with the defense and/or settlement of any and all claims for which the Stockholders may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 10 (Indemnification) hereof (including rejecting, contesting, negotiating, settling and resolving any such claims) and any claims that may be made against the Escrow Amount; (iii) comply with Orders of courts and determinations and awards of arbitrators with respect to claims; (iv) review and take action with respect to Tax Returns or other Tax matters pursuant to Section 6; (v) review and take action pursuant to 1.7(c) (Post-Closing True-Up) and 1.7(d) (Resolution of Disputes) or any; (vi) give and receive all notices and service of process required or permitted to be given or received by the Stockholders or the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements; (vii) execute and deliver all amendments and waivers to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements that the Stockholder Representative deemed necessary or appropriate, whether prior to, at or after the Closing; and take any and all such additional action or refrain from doing any further act or deed as is contemplated to be taken by or on behalf of the Stockholders by the terms of this Agreement or of the Ancillary Agreements or as may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. (b) All notices provided to and/or legal process served upon the Stockholder Representative in accordance with this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to be provided to and/or served upon the Stockholders and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Stockholders. All decisions, actions, agreements, and instructions by the Stockholder Representative, including any consent, waiver, or agreement between the Stockholder Representative and any Buyer Indemnitee relating to the defense or settlement of any claim for which the Stockholders may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 10 (Indemnification) hereof, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Stockholders; and the Buyer, each other Buyer Indemnitee and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereon. The Buyer, each other Buyer Indemnitee and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to inquire into the authority of any person reasonably believed to be the Stockholder Representative and no responsibility or liability for any action or omission thereof, and no party shall have any cause of action against the Buyer, any other Buyer Indemnitee or the Escrow Agent for any action or omission by such party in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of any person reasonably believed to be the Stockholder Representative. 83
(c) In the event that more than one Person shall at any time serve collectively as the Stockholder Representative, decisions of such Persons shall, as between them and with respect to the rights of the Stockholders in relation to the Stockholder Representative, be made by majority vote; provided, however that they shall designate a single Person as “Stockholder Representative” for all purposes involving the Buyer, any other Buyer Indemnitee, or the Escrow Agent. (d) Certain Stockholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholder Representative to provide direction to the Stockholder Representative in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (such Stockholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). (e) The Stockholder Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Stockholders notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Stockholders. In taking any actions as Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative may rely conclusively, without any further inquiry or investigation, upon any certification or confirmation, oral or written, given by any person he or it reasonably believes to be authorized thereunto. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Allocation Certificate, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Stockholder or other party. Neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”) will incur any liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative or the Advisory Group in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s and Advisory Group’s services pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Stockholders will, on a several basis in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative Group from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs, all expense of document location, duplication and shipment and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Stockholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Amount at such time as any remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Stockholders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid 84
from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Stockholders or otherwise. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Stockholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities and immunities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Stockholder Representative undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and/or any Ancillary Agreement to which the Stockholder Representative is a party and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements against the Stockholder Representative. (f) As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to wire to the Stockholder Representative the Expense Fund, which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any Representative Losses or other third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. The Stockholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Stockholder Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Stockholders. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholder Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholder Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Stockholders. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Stockholders at the time of Closing. (g) The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time. In the event that the Stockholder Representative resigns from such position or is unable to continue in such position, Stockholders holding among them the rights to receive at least a majority of the amount then remaining in the Escrow Amount to be distributed to the Stockholders (or, if no Escrow Amount remains, representing a majority in interest of the Pro Rata Shares) (the “Majority Holders”) shall 85
promptly appoint another representative to fill such vacancy, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Stockholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. In the absence of such appointment, the Buyer may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Stockholder Representative, and the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such proceeding shall be paid from the Expense Fund or, to the extent exhausted, the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative may be removed at any time upon the written consent of the Majority Holders with not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Buyer; provided however, that a successor Stockholder Representative must be concurrently appointed and become a party to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of Stockholder Representative and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. (h) The provisions of this Section 12.15 (including the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative Group hereunder): (i) are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Stockholder may have in connection with the Transactions, (ii) shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of the respective Stockholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (iii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Stockholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Amount. Remedies available at Law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 12.15 may be inadequate; therefore, the Buyer and each other Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving damages or posting any bond if such person brings an action or proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Section 12.15. 12.16 Privilege. (a) Buyer and the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) hereby agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of their directors, members, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each of their successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that Xxxxx Xxxx LLP (or any successor) may represent (a) any or all of the Stockholders or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Stockholders, or (b) the Stockholder Representative, in each case in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions adverse to the Waiving Parties or any other Person, notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) and/or any of its Subsidiaries or other Waiving Parties, and each of Buyer and the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time) on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty, or any other objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Buyer and the Company acknowledge that the foregoing provision applies whether or not Xxxxx Xxxx LLP provides legal services to the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date. Each of Buyer and the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time), for itself. 86
(b) All communications in any form or format whatsoever (including any communications using the Company’s computer and email systems and servers), wherever located (including in the Company’s data delivered hereunder), between or among Xxxxx Xxxx LLP, on the one hand, and the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Stockholder Representative and/or any Stockholder, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives, on the other hand, to the extent such communications relate to (i) the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions, or the Company’s or Stockholders’ assessment of a strategic transaction leading up to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) any dispute arising under this Agreement, in the case of either (i) or (ii), to the extent that they occur prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto belong solely to the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholders, shall be controlled by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Stockholders and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, and Buyer and the Surviving Corporation shall take steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching to Privileged Communications shall survive the Closing. In the event that Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation is legally required by governmental order or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, to the extent permitted by Law the Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify the Stockholder Representative in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section) so that the Stockholder Representative can seek a protective order.
