AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

SALE AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 1.1 Sale and Transfer of Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from the Sellers, all of the Sellers’ rights, title and interest in and to the Securities, free and clear of all Encumbrances.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price payable by Buyer to the Sellers for the Securities will be $56,000,000, which will consist of $32,479,996.78 in cash (the “Closing Cash Amount”) and 540,193 unregistered shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the

“Common Shares”) of Holdings, plus or minus the Final Adjustment Amount payable after the Closing as set forth in Section 1.4 of this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”).

At the Closing, Buyer will deliver the Purchase Price, prior to adjustment on account of the Final Adjustment Amount, as follows: (i) the Closing Cash Amount, less the Escrowed Cash, by wire transfer to Sellers in accordance with the Funds Flow Statement; (ii) the issuance to Sellers of such number of Common Shares equal to the Common Shares minus the Escrowed Shares as evidenced by delivery of confirmation of book entry shares representing such Common Shares; (iii) $2,427,290.20 (the “Escrowed Cash”) paid to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; and (iv) the issuance of 40,370 of the Common Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as evidenced by delivery of confirmation of book entry shares representing the Escrowed Shares. The Final Adjustment Amount will be paid following the Closing in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, at 10:00 a.m. (central time) on the date hereof, or such other time and place that the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”). For accounting purposes, Closing shall be deemed effective at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) on the Closing Date.

Section 1.4 Closing Date Net Working Capital Calculation.

(a) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (A) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. (central time) on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and (B) a calculation of the Net Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. (central time) on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in a manner consistent with GAAP and Annex X. Xxxxxxx’ Representative and its accountants shall be entitled to: (A) review the Closing Statement, and any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount prepared by Buyer or its accountants; (B) to make copies thereof; and (C) upon reasonable request of Sellers’ Representative, for copies thereof to be made and sent to Seller’s Representative at the reasonable expense of Sellers’ Representative. Buyer shall also provide Sellers’ Representative and its accountants with timely access, during normal business hours, to Buyer’s relevant employees and outside accountants, properties, books and records to the extent involved with or related to the preparation of the Closing Statement.

(b) If, within forty-five (45) days following delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount, Sellers’ Representative has not given Buyer written notice of its objection to the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of Sellers’ Representative’s objection), then Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount shall be binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes hereunder.

(c) If Sellers’ Representative gives Buyer such notice of objection within the 45-day period, and if Sellers’ Representative and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount within forty-five (45) days of Buyer’s receipt of Sellers’ Representatives’ objection notice, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm mutually selected by Sellers’ Representative and Buyer that has not performed accounting, tax or audit services for Buyer, Company or any of their respective Affiliates during the past three (3) years (the “Independent Accountants”), for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution: (A) Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss issues with the Independent Accountants; (B) the determination of the Independent Accountants will be based on the information submitted to the Independent Accountants by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative (including any additional information submitted in response to questions or requests by the Independent Accountants); (C) in resolving any matters in dispute, the Independent Accountants may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by the notice of objection, on the one hand, or the Closing Statement, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the notice of objection, on the one hand, or the Closing Statement, on the other hand; (D) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Sellers’ Representative and Buyer within thirty (30) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount; and (E) the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants will be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion that their respective positions are confirmed or rejected by the Independent Accountants (which proportionate allocations also will be determined by the Independent Accountants and included in their final resolution).

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to this Section 1.4, if the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Amount, Buyer shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers’ Representative, for the account of Sellers, the amount of such excess. Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount pursuant to this Section 1.4, if the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, Sellers’ Representative shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, the amount of such shortfall. All amounts owed pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) by Buyer to Sellers, on the one hand, or by Sellers to Buyer, on the other hand, are referred to as the “Final Adjustment Amount.”

(e) Any payments made pursuant this Section 1.4 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to such payment causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes.

Section 1.5 Closing Deliveries. In addition to any other documents to be delivered under other provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing:

(c) furnish to any Seller, so long as the Holder owns any Common Shares, forthwith upon request: (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act; and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Seller of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.

Section 5.6 Removal of Restrictive Legend. Upon the request of any Seller after such Seller has complied with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act applicable to such Seller, Holdings shall, and shall cause its representatives to, remove the restrictive legend from the Common Shares stating that such Common Shares may not be resold in the public marketplace unless the sale is exempt from the Securities Act’s registration requirements. Each requesting Seller shall provide Holdings with the customary certifications necessary for Holdings to satisfy the foregoing requirement.

Section 5.7 Non-Competition.

(a) Material Inducement. Each Seller and Indirect Owner hereby acknowledges that such Seller or Indirect Owner is familiar with certain Confidential Information (as defined below) and Trade Secrets pertaining to the Business. Each Seller and Indirect Owner acknowledges and agrees that Buyer, Parent, Holdings and their Affiliates would be irreparably damaged if any of the Sellers or Indirect Owners or any of their Affiliates were to provide services to or otherwise participate in the business of any Person competing or planning to compete with the Buyer or its Affiliates in a business similar to the Business and that any such competition by any of the Sellers or Indirect Owners or any of their Affiliates would result in a significant loss of goodwill by the Business. The Sellers and Indirect Owners further acknowledge and agree that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.7 were a

material inducement to Buyer, Parent and Holdings to enter into this Agreement and perform their obligations hereunder and were further a material inducement to Parent to employ Xxxxx as Chief Executive Officer of RankLab and Xxxxx as Chief Executive Officer of Recovery Brands, and that neither the Buyer, Parent or Holdings nor their respective Affiliates would obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties if any of the Sellers or Indirect Owners or their Affiliates breached the provisions of this Section 5.7.

(b) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In further consideration of the amounts to be paid hereunder for the Business, each Seller (other than the Passive Investors) and Indirect Owner covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent may be withheld in the Buyer’s sole discretion), engage, directly or indirectly, including through direct or indirect equity ownership, in any business competing or planning to compete with the Business, including, but not limited to, soliciting or serving any customers of the Business, for a period equal to the later of (i) two (2) years following the Closing Date; or (ii) in the case of the Indirect Owners, one (1) year following the Indirect Owner’s termination of employment with Parent (the “Restrictive Period”). In addition, each Seller (other than the Passive Investors) and Indirect Owner agrees that during the Restrictive Period, each Seller (other than the Passive Investors) and Indirect Owner shall not solicit any customer or client of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than on behalf of the Company) with respect to any business in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is then engaged or induce or encourage any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliated entities to leave the employ of the Company.

(i) Each Seller and Indirect Owner acknowledges that, by virtue of its ownership and/or participation in the management of the Company, such Seller or Indirect Owner has had or may have access to Confidential Information (as defined below) that provides the Company and its Subsidiaries, and following the Closing will provide the Buyer (through its ownership of the Company and its Subsidiaries), with a competitive advantage, which is not generally known by, nor easily learned or determined by, persons outside the Company and its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any proprietary or confidential information or trade secrets related to the Company and its Subsidiaries (whether prepared by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, its representatives or otherwise, and whether in oral, written or electronic form or in the memory of any individual, and whether or not legended or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary information), including, but not limited to: (i) specifications, manuals, software in various stages of development; (ii) customer and prospect lists, and details of agreements and communications with customers and prospects; (iii) sales plans and projections, product pricing information, acquisition, expansion, marketing, financial and other business information and existing and future products and business plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iv) sales proposals, demonstrations systems, and sales material; (v) research and development; (vi) computer programs and data bases, data analytics (including, but not limited to, process for detecting payment integrity) and data sets; (vii) sources of supply; (viii) identity of specialized consultants and contractors and Confidential Information developed by them for the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ix) purchasing, operating and other cost data; (x) special customer needs, cost and pricing data; (xi) patient information, including, but not limited to, Protected Health Information as defined in 45

C.F.R. 164.501; and (xii) employee information (including, but not limited to, personnel, payroll, compensation and benefit data and plans). Confidential Information shall not include such information that can be shown to have (a) become generally available to the public after the Closing Date (other than as a result of a disclosure by a Seller or Indirect Owner in violation of this Agreement) or (b) become available to a Seller or Indirect Owner on a non-confidential basis after the Closing Date from a source other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer, Parent, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates, provided that such source was not known by such Seller or Indirect Owner to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Buyer, Parent, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, all information set forth in clauses (xi) and (xii) above shall always be treated as Confidential Information, and shall not be deemed in the public domain or nonconfidential under any circumstances.

(ii) Each Seller and Indirect Owner acknowledges and agrees that the protection of the Confidential Information is necessary to protect and preserve the value of the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing. Each Seller and Indirect Owner shall not, directly or indirectly (except in furtherance of such Indirect Owner’s employment with Parent or its Affiliates following the Closing), use any Confidential Information, or disclose any such Confidential Information to any other Person. Each Seller and Indirect Owner agrees that, in addition to enforcing this restriction, the Buyer, Parent and Holdings may have other rights and remedies under the common law or applicable statutory laws relating to the protection of Trade Secrets. In the event that any Seller or Indirect Owner receives a request to disclose all or any part of the information contained in the Confidential Information under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental body, such Seller or Indirect Owner shall (A) immediately notify the Buyer of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request, so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order (and, if the Buyer seeks such an order, to provide such cooperation as the Buyer shall reasonably request) and (B) if disclosure of such information is required in the written opinion of counsel to the Seller or Indirect Owner, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and exercise the reasonable best efforts of the Seller or Indirect Owner to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such of the disclosed information that the Buyer so designates.

(d) Unfair Competition. Each Seller and Indirect Owner acknowledges that the Buyer and its Affiliates have a compelling business interest in preventing unfair competition with the Buyer and its Affiliates stemming from the intentional or inadvertent use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

(e) Return of Confidential Information. At any time as the Buyer may request, Sellers and Indirect Owners shall deliver to the Buyer all documents, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documentation, models, components, devices or computer software, whether embodied in a disk or in other form (and all copies of all of the foregoing), that contain Confidential Information; provided, however, that in lieu of delivering the Confidential Information, at the election of the Buyer, Sellers and Indirect Owners shall destroy the Confidential Information, and shall deliver to the Buyer a certificate confirming the destruction thereof.

(f) Remedies. If, at the time of enforcement of any of the covenants contained in Section 5.7 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Each Seller and Indirect Owner has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business and the substantial investment in the Business made by the Buyer hereunder. Each Seller and Indirect Owner further acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are being entered into by them in connection with the sale of the Business and the goodwill of the Business.

If any of the Sellers or Indirect Owners, or any of their Affiliates, breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Buyer, or any of its Affiliates, at law or in equity:

(i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, without posting bond or other security, without having to prove damages, and to the payment by the breaching party of all of the other party’s costs and expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs in addition to any other remedies to which the other party may be entitled at low or in equity, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Buyer, Parent and Holdings and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Buyer, Parent and Holdings;

(ii) the right and remedy to require the Sellers or Indirect Owners to account for and pay over to the Buyer or its Affiliates any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such Person as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants from the date any Seller or Indirect Owner or any Affiliate of a Seller was in breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants; and

(iii) in the event of any breach or violation by any Seller or Indirect Owner or any Affiliate of a Seller of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.

Section 5.8 401(k) Plan. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall cease contributions to and terminate the 401(k) Plan. In connection therewith, the Company shall: (i) cause its board of managers to adopt written resolutions, to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(viii), to terminate the 401(k) Plan and 100% vest all participants under the 401(k) Plan, such termination and vesting to be effective immediately prior to Closing; and (ii) deliver, prior to the Closing, notice of the 401(k) Plan termination to any trustees and custodians of the 401(k) Plan and/or its assets. Buyer reserves the right to suspend the distribution of benefits from the 401(k) Plan until the later of the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the termination of the 401(k) Plan and the completion of final testing and record keeping for the 401(k) Plan.

Section 5.9 Payment of Indebtedness. At or prior to Closing, (i) the Company shall have paid or otherwise satisfied (or caused to be paid or otherwise satisfied) in full, at or prior to the Closing, all Indebtedness payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person (including any Seller or Affiliate thereof), and (ii) the Company shall cause to be paid or otherwise satisfied in full all Indebtedness payable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Seller or Affiliate thereof.

Section 5.9 Company Cash. At Closing, the Company shall maintain at least $200,000 of immediately available funds in one of the accounts of the Company identified on Section 3.22 of the Disclosure Schedule. Such amount shall be included as a current asset in the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital Amount.

ARTICLE VI.

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods that include (but do not end on) the Closing Date, the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Pre-Closing Tax Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Pre-Closing Tax Period consisted of two (2) taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, and state and local apportionment factors of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date. However, (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, and (ii) periodic Taxes such as real and personal property Taxes shall be apportioned ratably between such periods on a daily basis.

Section 6.2 Tax Returns. Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Pass-Through Entity Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are filed after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ past practices. Sellers’ Representative shall submit drafts of such Tax Returns to Buyer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to their due date (with applicable extensions), shall permit Buyer to review and comment on such Tax Returns and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Buyer.

Section 6.3 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne (i) 50% by the Sellers in accordance with Section 7.2(c), and (ii) 50% by Buyer.

All representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement, the Schedules attached hereto, and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to Section 7.7. The right to indemnification, reimbursement, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) about, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

(a) The Buyer Indemnified Persons shall have no right to recover any amounts under Section 7.2(a) until the total amount of Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2(a) exceeds $500,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover the entire amount of such Damages regardless of the Basket.

(b) The maximum amount of Damages that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons under Section 7.2(a) will be $5,600,000 (the “Cap”).

The maximum amount of Damages that may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons for breaches of the Seller IP Representation under Section 7.2(a) will be $14,000,000 (the “IP Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid toward either the Cap or the IP Cap shall count toward both the Cap and the IP Cap.

Section 7.7 Limitations.

(a) The Buyer Indemnified Persons shall have no right to recover any amounts under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), unless on or before the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer notifies the Sellers’ Representative in writing of a claim or breach under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) specifying, to the extent then known by Buyer, the factual basis of that claim or breach in reasonable detail; provided, however, that any written notice of any claim or breach with respect to any Seller Fundamental Representation, the Seller IP Representation, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement to the extent not arising under Section 7.2(a), may be made by Buyer at any time prior to 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.

(b) The Sellers shall have no right to recover any amounts under Section 7.4(a), unless on or before the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer in writing of a claim or breach under Section 7.4(a) specifying, to the extent then known by the Sellers’ Representative, the factual basis of that claim or breach in reasonable detail; provided, however, that any written notice of any claim or breach with respect to any Buyer Fundamental Representation, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement to the extent not arising under Section 7.4(a), may be made by the Sellers’ Representative at any time prior to 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.

(c) All Damages hereunder will be determined net of any Insurance Awards (less expenses incurred in recovering such Insurance Awards) and net of any Tax benefits resulting from the Damages, but only if and to the extent such Tax benefits are actually realized by the applicable Indemnified Person in any tax year beginning prior to the receipt of the applicable indemnification payment. If any Insurance Awards are received by an Indemnified Person (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Damages after payment has been made with respect thereto, the Buyer Indemnified Persons or Sellers, as applicable, will pay the amount of such Insurance Awards (less expenses incurred in recovering such Insurance Awards) up to the amount of the payment.

(d) Buyer, Parent and Holdings shall, and shall cause all Buyer Indemnified Persons to, and Sellers shall take all generally accepted commercially reasonable steps to mitigate such Person’s Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Person shall be liable to any other Person for any (A) consequential or special damages of such other Person (except to the extent reasonably foreseeable); or (B) exemplary or punitive damages of such other Person, in each case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), (x) relating to the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement and (y) other than any such damages incurred by an Indemnified Person as a result of a Third-Party Claim.

(f) Except the specific representations made by the Seller in Articles II and III of this Agreement, the certificate to be delivered by Sellers pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(viii) and any other Sellers Closing Documents, Buyer specifically disclaims that it is relying upon or has

relied upon any such other representations or warranties that may have been made by any Person, and acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers have specifically disclaimed and do hereby specifically disclaim any such other representation or warranty made by any Person.

Section 7.8 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event that a claim is made by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Person in connection with which any Person is (or is anticipated to be) entitled to indemnity under Section 7.2, Section 7.3 or Section 7.4 (an “Indemnified Person”; any Person required to provide indemnity under this Agreement is referred to as an “Indemnifying Person”), then, (i) in the case of any claim under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, Buyer shall provide notice to the Sellers’ Representative, and (ii) in the case of any claim under Section 7.4, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide notice to Buyer, in each such case promptly following the assertion of such Third-Party Claim (or, if later, the time at which such Third-Party Claim is anticipated to give rise to any indemnification obligations under this Agreement); provided that the failure to provide such notice will not relieve any Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice pursuant to Section 7.8(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim in connection with which any Indemnified Person is (or is anticipated to be) entitled to indemnity under Section 7.2, Section 7.3 or Section 7.4, as applicable, the Indemnifying Person shall, at its sole cost and expense, be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article VII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.8(b), and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates in any material respect other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VII: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed in all material respects of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense and/or settlement of any Third-Party Claim.

(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VII, the parties shall cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use reasonable best efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or has participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any parties hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim will, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

Section 7.9 Procedure For Indemnification – Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by (i) in the case of any claim under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, written notice by Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative, and (ii) in the case of any claim under Section 7.4, written notice by the Sellers’ Representative to Buyer.

Section 7.10 Exclusive Remedy. Except for a claim for Damages described in Section 7.5(d) or Section 7.6(d), the indemnification provided for in this Article VII shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to an Indemnified Person in connection with any breach of this Agreement and/or any Damages arising out of the matters set forth in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein will limit any Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder or otherwise to injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce its rights under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict any Person who is a party to the Employment Letters, the Releases or any other agreement or document entered into at Closing pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5 hereof to obtain Damages or any other legal or equitable relief from any other Person who is a party to any such agreement in connection with the breach of such agreement by such other Person pursuant to the terms thereof.

Section 7.11 No Double Materiality. For purposes of calculating the amount of Damages to which the Buyer Indemnified Persons or the Sellers are entitled under this Article VII (but not for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached), the terms “material,” “materiality,” and “material adverse effect” will be disregarded.

This Agreement (together with the Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement and the other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement signed by Holdings, Parent, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

Section 8.5 Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, and no single or partial exercise of any such right will preclude any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other right. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other parties; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.

Section 8.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way unless such invalid or unenforceable provision or clause is so significant as to materially affect the expectations of the parties regarding this Agreement. Otherwise, any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by Buyer, Parent, Holdings and the Sellers’ Representative with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Section 8.12 Enforcement of Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative and each Seller acknowledge and agree that Buyer, Parent and Holdings would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms, and that any breach of this Agreement by the Sellers’ Representative and/or any Seller

could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, the Sellers’ Representative and each Seller agree that, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer, Parent and Holdings may be entitled, at law or in equity, Buyer, Parent and Holdings will be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 8.13 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller, by execution and delivery hereof, hereby designates and appoints Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx (the “Sellers’ Representative”), as agent for and on behalf of each Seller, and the true and lawful attorney in fact of each Seller, with full power and authority in each of the Sellers’ names, to give and receive notices and communications, to agree to, negotiate and enter into, on behalf of each such Seller, amendments, consents and waivers under this Agreement pursuant to the terms set forth herein, to make and receive payments on behalf of the Seller pursuant to the terms set forth herein, to take such other actions as authorized by this Agreement, including actions in connection with the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 1.4, the defense and/or settlement of any indemnification claims of any Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to Article VII, the initiation and/or settlement of any claims pursuant to Article VII, to take all actions authorized by the Escrow Agreement, including defending or settling any claims thereunder and releasing and transferring any of the Escrowed Cash or Escrowed Shares to Buyer in accordance with the terms set forth therein, and all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. All such actions of the Sellers’ Representative shall be binding on the Sellers. Such agency may be changed by a vote or written consent by the holders of a majority of the membership interests as of the Closing Date, voting in the same manner as would have been voted in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Majority Holders”), from time to time upon not less than ten days’ prior written notice to Buyer and Holdings. If at any time the Sellers’ Representative resigns, dies or becomes incapable of acting, the Majority Holders shall choose another Person to act as the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement. The Sellers may not make a claim for indemnity against Buyer or Holdings pursuant to this Agreement except through the Sellers’ Representative, who shall make such a claim only upon the written direction of the Majority Holders.

(b) Once the Sellers’ Representative has initiated a claim for indemnity, all acts and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative in connection with such matter shall be binding on all the Sellers. No bond shall be required of the Sellers’ Representative, and the Sellers’ Representative shall receive no compensation for services provided hereunder. Notices or communications to or from the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers.

(c) The Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents as the Sellers’ Representative deems necessary or proper in connection with performing the Sellers’ Representative’s obligations hereunder, and will be promptly reimbursed by the Sellers for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in such capacity upon demand. The Sellers shall severally indemnify

and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative, in proportion to each Seller’s percentage ownership of the membership interests as of the Closing, with respect to any and all Damages that are incurred by the Sellers’ Representative as a result of actions taken, or actions not taken, by the Sellers’ Representative herein, except to the extent that such Damages arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for any act done or omitted hereunder as Sellers’ Representative, excluding acts which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) The Sellers’ Representative shall promptly pay to the Sellers in accordance with the terms hereof all amounts received by the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Sellers’ Representative will be entitled to set off any amounts payable to the Sellers’ Representative under this Section 8.13(d) against amounts otherwise payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.13(d) or released Escrowed Cash or Escrowed Shares for the benefit of the Sellers.

(e) This appointment and grant of power and authority is coupled with an interest and is in consideration of the mutual covenants made herein and is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any of the Sellers (except as otherwise provided herein) or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of any Sellers or by the occurrence of any other event. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative in respect of any action under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall constitute a decision of all of the Sellers and any other Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers and other Sellers, and Buyer, Parent and Holdings may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Sellers and any other Sellers. Buyer, Parent and Holdings shall be able to rely conclusively on the proper distribution of such amounts by the Sellers’ Representative among the Sellers upon receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of such amounts. Buyer, Parent and Holdings are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person (including any Sellers or any other Seller) for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative, to the extent delegated to the Sellers’ Representative hereunder.

(f) The provisions of this Section 8.13 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Person may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.14 Attorney-Client Privilege. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that Xxxxxxx LLP has acted as counsel to the Company and the Sellers from time to time prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as well as with respect thereto. The following provisions in this Section 8.14 apply solely to the attorney-client relationship between (a) the Company and Xxxxxxx LLP prior to the Closing and (b) the Sellers and Xxxxxxx LLP following the Closing. Subject to the exceptions below, each of the parties hereto agrees that: (i) it will not seek to disqualify Xxxxxxx LLP, based solely on its prior representation of the Sellers and the Company, from acting and continuing to act as counsel to any of the Sellers either in the event of a dispute hereunder or in the course of the defense or prosecution of any claim relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the Sellers have a reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to their and the Company’s communications (including any e-mail

communications using the Company’s email system) with Xxxxxxx LLP prior to Closing to the extent that such communications concern the transactions contemplated herein, and were subject to the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product doctrine; and (iii) the Sellers (and, following the Closing, not Buyer, Parent, Holdings or any of their Affiliates, including, without limitation, the Company) shall have access to all such privileged communications.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing: (a) Sellers agree that they will not waive, or cause to be waived, any claim of privilege or protection over pre-Closing communications between or among Xxxxxxx LLP, the Company, or the Sellers, without first obtaining the written consent of Buyers and the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (b) nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from requesting, using or accessing all communications between or among Xxxxxxx LLP, the Company, or the Sellers in connection with any claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, so long as such communications are not subject to the attorney-client privilege or work product protection; and (c) in the event that a dispute or investigation or audit arises after the Closing between Buyer or the Company, on the one hand, and a third party, on the other hand, Buyer and the Company shall notify the Sellers’ Representative if Buyer or the Company requires access to any privileged or protected pre-Closing communications between Xxxxxxx LLP and the Company and/or the Seller in order to assist in the Buyer’s or the Company’s response to or defense of the third-party claim, investigation, or audit, and such access shall not unreasonably be refused.
