Thereafter, if at any time funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account are no longer subject to any Claims, such funds shall be released from the Indemnity Escrow Account for distribution to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Indemnity Escrow Amount and all interest and other amounts earned thereon in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Distributions of any funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

(e) On the Final Indemnity Escrow Release Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day thereafter), the remaining funds in the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Account at such time shall be released from the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Account for deposit into an account designated by the Holders’ Representative. Thereafter, based solely on the Holders’ Representative’s discretion, the Holders’ Representative shall distribute all or portions of such funds, from time to time, to the Holders in the proportions contemplated by Section 2.06(f). The Escrow Agent shall hold the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Amount and all interest and other amounts earned thereon in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Upon deposit into the account designated by the Holders’ Representative as prescribed above, the remaining Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Amount and all interest and other amounts earned thereon (collectively, “Income”, and together with such remaining Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Amount, the “Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Property”) shall be maintained by the Holders’ Representative, and the Holders’ Representative shall have the right to recover the Charges (as defined below) from the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Property. The Holders shall be responsible for and shall pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed on or with respect to the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Property. The Holders’ Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any funds or other assets

otherwise payable out of the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Property to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Holders’ Representative is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If the Holders’ Representative so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holders in respect of which the Holders’ Representative made such deductions and withholding.

(f) Any amounts payable to or released to the Holders from the Escrow Account (other than any release to the Holders’ Representative in its capacity as such) will be released pro rata to the Holders’ relative Remaining Possible Consideration. Upon any such release from escrow, the total amount of any such release payable to the Holders of Shares and Directly Exercisable Warrants (the “Shares and Warrants Escrow Percentage”) will be delivered to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Shares and Directly Exercisable Warrants, and the total amount of any such release payable to Holders of Options (the “Options Escrow Percentage”) will be delivered to the Company for payment to the Option Holders.

Section 2.07. Surrender and Payment of Shares and Directly Exercisable Warrants

(a) Each Holder whose Shares have been converted into the right to receive payment pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of (i) certificate(s) representing Shares (the “Stock Certificates”) (or an affidavit and indemnity as contemplated by Section 2.12) together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal or (ii) uncertificated Shares by delivering to the Exchange Agent a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, the Per Share Merger Consideration for such Shares (less any amounts deducted, pursuant to this Article 2, for deposit into the Escrow Account, which amounts shall be deemed paid to the Holders for purposes of this Section 2.07 in the manner and at the times set forth in Section 2.06 and Section 2.14). Until so surrendered, each such Stock Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such payment provided in Section 2.05. The Exchange Agent shall provide confirmation of receipt of each Letter of Transmittal to Buyer in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which the Exchange Agent was retained (the “Paying Agent Agreement”). No Holder may modify the form or substance of a Letter of Transmittal without the prior written approval of Buyer.

(b) The Exchange Agent shall pay the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration to the Stockholders in the following manner:

(i) If any Stockholder surrenders its Stock Certificates (or an affidavit and indemnity as contemplated by Section 2.12), together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, or in the case of uncertificated Shares, a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent prior to the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price, then such Stockholder shall receive in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by such Stockholder in respect of each Share represented thereby (A) in accordance with

the terms of the Paying Agent Agreement, the applicable Per Share Closing Payment, (B) any additional payment in respect of such Share in accordance with Section 2.14 following the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and (C) any additional payment in respect of such Share in accordance with Section 2.06.

(ii) If any Stockholder surrenders its Stock Certificates (or an affidavit and indemnity as contemplated by Section 2.12) together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, or in the case of uncertificated Shares, a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent after the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price, then such Stockholder shall receive in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by such Stockholder in respect of each Share represented thereby payment of an amount equal to (A) in accordance with the terms of the Paying Agent Agreement, the Per Share Closing Payment plus any amounts due in respect of that Share in accordance with Section 2.14 and (B) any additional payment in respect of such Share in accordance with Section 2.06.

(c) If any portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Stock Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Surviving Corporation any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Stock Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of any Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration upon the applicable Holder’s compliance with Section 2.07(b). For purposes of such exchange, the cancelled Common Stock shall be deemed surrendered pursuant to Section 2.07(b) as of the date presented to the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Each Holder of Directly Exercisable Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Warrant, the Directly Exercisable Warrant Consideration for such Directly Exercisable Warrant (less any amounts deducted pursuant to this Article 2 for deposit into the Escrow Account), which amounts shall be deemed paid to the Holders for purposes of this Section 2.07 in the manner and at the times set forth in Section 2.06 and Section 2.14. Until so surrendered, each such Directly Exercisable Warrant shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such payment provided herein.

(f) The Exchange Agent shall pay the applicable Directly Exercisable Warrant Consideration to the Holders in the following manner:

(i) If any such Holder surrenders its Directly Exercisable Warrant to the Exchange Agent prior to the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price, then such Holder shall receive in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder (A) in accordance with the terms of the Paying Agent Agreement, the applicable Directly Exercisable Warrant Closing Payment, (B) any additional payment in respect of such Directly Exercisable in accordance with Section 2.14 following the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and (C) any additional payment in respect of such Directly Exercisable Warrant in accordance with Section 2.06.

(ii) If any such Holder surrenders its Directly Exercisable Warrant to the Exchange Agent after the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price, then such Holder shall receive in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by such Holder (A) in accordance with the terms of the Paying Agent Agreement, the applicable Directly Exercisable Warrant Closing Payment plus any additional payment in respect of such Directly Exercisable in accordance with Section 2.14 following the determination of the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and (B) any additional payment in respect of such Directly Exercisable Warrant in accordance with Section 2.06.

Section 2.08. Appraisal Rights

Notwithstanding Section 2.05, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration (less any amounts deducted for deposit into the Escrow Account). The Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Buyer shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Buyer, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 2.09. Cancellation and Payment of Options

(a) The compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company Board shall adopt resolutions and take all actions necessary or advisable (including providing any required notices) to provide that (i) the Options, to the extent unvested and unexercisable, shall become fully vested and exercisable prior to the Effective Time, (ii) each Option Holder shall be given the opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding Options prior to the Effective Time on a cashless exercise basis based on the Estimated Per-Share Merger Consideration for shares of Common Stock, (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be effectuated and (iv) the Equity

Incentive Plan and all other equity incentive plans of the Company shall be terminated, effective as of the Closing Date. In the event that such Options are not exercised prior to the Effective Time, such Options shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment in accordance with Section 2.09(b).

(b) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Option then issued and outstanding (and not forfeited or canceled in accordance with its terms) shall, without any action on the part of any party hereto or the Option Holder thereof, be cancelled. In consideration of such cancellation, at Closing, Buyer shall make available to the Surviving Corporation an amount equal to the aggregate Option Closing Payment in respect of the outstanding Options less any portion of such amount payable to Buyer in accordance with the Contribution Agreement on the Option Holder’s behalf, to the extent set forth on the Rollover Participants Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 5.05(b), and (a) the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each Option Holder at the Effective Time the Option Closing Payment for each Option less any portion of the Option Closing Payment deemed to be delivered to Buyer in accordance with the Contribution Agreement on behalf of such Option Holder’s behalf, to the extent set forth on the Rollover Participants Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 5.05(b) (but treating, for withholding tax purposes, the Option Closing Payment with respect to each Option as made without reduction for the portion of such deduction attributable to the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Account) and (b) thereafter any subsequent additional payment in respect of Options shall be made in accordance with Section 2.06 and Section 2.14 (for avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any amounts previously paid to such Option Holders in accordance herewith). Each payment made to Option Holders under this Section 2.09 shall be made on the same dates, and subject to the same terms, as payments to the other Holders.

Section 2.10. Adjustments

If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of capital stock, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, or any similar event relating to the capital stock, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and Warrant Consideration, and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.11. Withholding Rights

The Buyer and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If the Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation so withhold amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholder, Warrant Holder or Option Holder, as applicable, in respect of which the Buyer and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.12. Lost Certificates

If any Stock Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the provision of an indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Stock Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Common Stock represented by such Stock Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Section 2.13. Pre-Closing Estimate of the Aggregate Purchase Price

No later than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer, in conjunction with Buyer’s delivery to the Company of the Rollover Participant Schedule pursuant to Section 5.05(b), a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) Closing Cash, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Company Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Working Capital and (v) Notional Rollover Share Merger Consideration (based on the Rollover Participant Schedule and the other elements of the Closing Statement). The Company shall also deliver to Buyer its good faith calculation, using the amounts set forth on the Closing Statement, of the estimated Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price”), the estimated Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Estimated Per Share Merger Consideration”) in respect of each issued and outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Share, Series A-2 Preferred Share, Series B Preferred Share and each Common Share, the estimated Option Consideration (the “Estimated Option Consideration”) and the estimated Directly Exercisable Warrant Consideration (the “Estimated Warrant Consideration”) in respect of each Series A-1 Preferred Warrant, Series A-2 Preferred Warrant, Series B Preferred Warrant and Common Warrant and the amounts of the Per Share Closing Payments and the Directly Exercisable Warrant Closing Payments based on the foregoing calculations. The Company shall provide Buyer with access to such information used by the Company in its calculation of such amounts as is reasonably necessary for Buyer to review such amounts.

Section 2.14. Post-Closing Adjustment

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 60 days, after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Holders’ Representative a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) Closing Indebtedness, (ii) Closing Cash, (iii) Company Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Working Capital and (v) Notional Rollover Share Merger Consideration. Buyer shall also deliver to the Holders’ Representative its calculation, using the amounts set forth on the Post-Closing Statement, of the Aggregate Purchase Price, and the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each Share, Option Consideration in respect of each Option and the Warrant Consideration in respect of each Warrant. Buyer shall provide the Holders’ Representative with access to such information used by Buyer in its calculation of such amounts as is reasonably necessary for the Holders’ Representative to review such amounts.

(b) If the Holders’ Representative disagrees with Buyer’s calculation of any of the items set forth on the Post-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(a), the Holders’ Representative may, within 30 days after receipt of the Post-Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Buyer disagreeing with such calculation, specifying the Holders’ Representative’s calculation of such amount and, in reasonable detail, the Holders’ Representative’s grounds for such disagreement. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Holders’ Representative disagrees, and the Holders’ Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

(c) If the Holders’ Representative delivers a notice of disagreement pursuant to Section 2.14(b), Buyer and the Holders’ Representative shall, during the 15 days after delivery thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Aggregate Purchase Price. If Buyer and the Holders’ Representative are unable to reach agreement as to such amount during such period, the parties shall promptly thereafter cause the Accounting Referee to promptly review this Section 2.14 (and any related definitions) and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Aggregate Purchase Price. In making such calculation, such independent accounting firm shall (w) be limited to a review of whether the disputed amounts were calculated in accordance with this Section 2.14 (and any related definitions), (x) consider only those items or amounts in the Post-Closing Statement as to which the Holders’ Representative has disagreed and shall therefore be bound as to all other matters and calculations as to which the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Statement are in accord, (y) be bound in all respects and for all purposes by the definitions hereof and the Agreed Accounting Principles, and shall not assign a value to any disputed amount greater than the higher of the amounts proposed by Buyer and Holders’ Representative or less than the lower of the amounts proposed by Buyer and Holders’ Representative, and (z) not consider in any respect or for any purpose any settlement discussions or settlement offer made by or on behalf of Buyer or the Holders, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Holders’ Representative, and no party hereto will disclose (or permit its representatives to disclose) to the Accounting Referee any such discussions or offer. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Buyer and the Holders’ Representative, as promptly as practicable, a report setting forth its calculation of Aggregate Purchase Price. Such report shall be final and binding upon Buyer and the Holders’ Representative without any right to appeal or bring suit to challenge the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price (or any component or consequences thereof). The cost of such review and report shall be borne (i) by the Holders, if the difference between the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and the Holders’ Representative’s calculation of Aggregate Purchase Price delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(b) is greater than the difference between the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and Buyer’s calculation of Aggregate Purchase Price delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(a), (ii) by Buyer, if the difference between the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and the Holders’ Representative’s calculation of Aggregate Purchase Price delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(b) is less than the difference between the Final Aggregate Purchase Price and Buyer’s calculation of Aggregate Purchase Price delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(a) and (iii) otherwise,

equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand. Costs for which the Holders are responsible in accordance with the prior sentence shall be paid from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account. In the event that such costs exceed the remaining Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount, any excess shall be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Account. If the Holders are responsible for all or a part of the costs and expenses of such review and report, Buyer and the Holders’ Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay out of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account and/or the Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable, to the account(s) specified by the Accounting Referee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, a portion of the amount held in such escrow account equal to the amount of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee payable by the Holders, and the release of amounts from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account by Sections 2.06(c) and 2.14(e) shall be made after giving effect to such payment to the Accounting Referee.

(d) The Holders’ Representative and Buyer agree that they shall, and Buyer agrees to cause its and the Surviving Corporation’s respective independent accountants and the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Aggregate Purchase Price and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 2.14, including making available to the extent necessary books, records, work papers and personnel.

(e) If the Final Aggregate Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price, then Buyer shall be entitled to (x) payment of an amount equal to such shortfall from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account and (y) to receive from the Indemnity Escrow Account the additional amount (if any) by which the Final Aggregate Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price. In the event that the Holders’ obligations under this Section 2.14 exceed the sum of the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount plus the Indemnity Escrow Amount, such excess shall be paid to Buyer by the Holders pro rata to their relative Indemnity Percentages. If the Final Aggregate Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Aggregate Purchase Price, then the Holders shall be entitled to payment of an amount equal to such excess, to be paid by or on behalf of Buyer to the Exchange Agent, and in turn to be distributed by the Exchange Agent among the Holders pro rata to their Remaining Possible Consideration. If any amounts remain in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account after the applicable payment pursuant to this Section 2.14(e), then such remaining amount shall be promptly released from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Account (i) to the Exchange Agent, in respect of any Stockholders and Directly Exercisable Warrant Holders, to be distributed by the Exchange Agent among such Stockholders and Directly Exercisable Warrant Holders pro rata to their Remaining Possible Consideration and (ii) to the Surviving Corporation, in respect of Option Holders to be distributed to such Option Holders pro rata to their Remaining Possible Consideration. Any payment from Buyer or the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) shall be made within three Business Days after the date on which the Final Aggregate Purchase Price has been determined, by wire transfer of immediately available funds by Buyer or the Escrow Agent (as directed by the parties), as the case may be, to the applicable party or parties. Buyer and the Holders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent irrevocable instructions giving effect to any payment or release provided for by this Section 2.14(e) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(f) “Final Aggregate Purchase Price” means the Aggregate Purchase Price (i) as shown in Buyer’s calculation thereof set forth on the Post-Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.14, if the Holders’ Representative does not deliver any notice of disagreement with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.14(b) or (ii) if the Holders’ Representative does deliver such a notice of disagreement, (A) as agreed by Buyer and the Holders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as determined by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 2.14(c).

Section 2.15. Tax Treatment

The parties intend the Indemnity Escrow Amount to qualify for installment sale reporting under Section 453 of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. All payments required pursuant to Section 2.14 will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be deemed to be adjustments for Tax purposes to the Aggregate Purchase Price paid by Buyer for the equity interests of the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.16. Payments by Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payments made by or on behalf of Buyer, Merger Sub or, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at the direction of the Holders’ Representative or, at or prior to the Closing, the Company, shall be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full all of Buyer’s, Merger Sub’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations and liability to the Holders’ Representative and the Holders under this Agreement with respect thereto, regardless of whether such payments are further distributed or paid to any Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to disclose or provide Buyer with access to any personnel records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary relating to individual performance or evaluations, medical histories or other information the disclosure of which, in the good faith opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, would subject the Holders, the Company or any Company Subsidiary to liability, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Holders, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, violate any Applicable Law or breach any contractual confidentiality obligations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing, (x) without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), Buyer shall not contact any suppliers to or customers of, the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and the Company shall have the right to have a representative present during any such contact in the event that it consents to such contact, and (y) Buyer shall have no right to perform or cause to be performed any invasive or subsurface investigations of the properties or facilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any sampling or testing of the air, soil, surface water, groundwater, building materials or other environmental media.

Any information obtained by Holders’ Representative or its Representatives pursuant to this 5.03(b) shall be subject to Section 5.04.

Section 5.04. Confidentiality

(a) Each of the Company and the Holders’ Representative, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, hereby agrees that all information provided or made available by or on behalf of the other party or any of the other party’s Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’ Representatives to such party or its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates’

Representatives in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which terms are incorporated herein by reference and which agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive the Closing in accordance with its terms, provided that the Company and the Holders’ Representative shall be bound by the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement as if each of them were the Recipient (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement).

Section 5.05. Rollover and Employment Agreements Cooperation.

Buyer acknowledges that, so long as the Company complies with its obligations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the failure of the individuals to comply with the rollover obligations nor the failure of the individuals to enter into the applicable employment-related agreements shall result in, or contribute to, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.02 to occur or give rise to any indemnification pursuant to Article 9.

(b) Buyer shall deliver to the Company, in conjunction with the Company’s delivery to Buyer of the Closing Statement pursuant to Sections 2.02(i) and 2.13, the Rollover Participant Schedule setting forth for each Rollover Participant (i) the number of Rollover Shares, if any, to be contributed by such Rollover Participant pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and (ii) the amount of cash from the Rollover Participant’s Option Closing Payment, if any, to be contributed immediately following the Effective Time by such Rollover Participant pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (based on the contents of the Closing Statement).

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, or shall cause the appropriate Company Subsidiary to, send a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit G to each Investment Advisory Client or an agent of such Investment Advisory Client (“Consent Notice”) informing such Investment Advisory Client of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and requesting such consent in writing to the deemed assignment of its Investment Advisory Contracts and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent; provided that the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.13(a) shall be deemed satisfied with respect to any Investment Advisory Client if such Investment Advisory Client’s consent is deemed to be given pursuant to Section 5.13(b).

(b) The parties hereto agree that any consent required for any Investment Advisory Contract with an Investment Advisory Client to continue after the Closing shall be deemed given for all purposes under this Agreement (i) upon receipt of written consent by the Investment Advisory Client or an agent of such Investment Advisory Client as contemplated by the Consent Notice or (ii) if no such written consent is received, if 60 days shall have passed since the sending of written notice (“Negative Consent Notice”) to such Investment Advisory Client or an agent of such Investment Advisory Client (or, to the extent expressly required by the Investment Advisory Contract, 60 days from the receipt of such notice) (which Negative Consent Notice may be included in the Consent Notice sent to such Investment Advisory Client or its agent) requesting written consent as aforesaid and informing such Investment Advisory Client: (A) of the intention to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which will result in a deemed assignment of such Investment Advisory Client’s Investment Advisory Contract; (B) of the Adviser’s intention to continue to provide the advisory services pursuant to the existing Investment Advisory Contract with such Investment Advisory Client after the Closing if such Investment Advisory Client does not terminate such agreement prior to the Closing; and (C) that the consent of such Investment Advisory Client will be deemed to have been granted if such Investment Advisory Client continues to accept such advisory services for a period of at least 60 days after the sending of the Negative Consent Notice (or, to the extent expressly required by the Investment Advisory Contract, 60 days from the receipt of such notice) without termination; provided that in the case of any Investment Advisory Client whose Investment Advisory Contract is set forth on Schedule 5.13 (such Investment Advisory Contracts, “Affirmative Consent Contracts”), such consent shall be deemed given only upon receipt of written consent from such Investment Advisory Client or its agent as

contemplated by the Consent Notice; provided, further, that, in any case, no consent shall be deemed to have been given for any purpose under this Agreement if at any time prior to the Closing any Investment Advisory Client or an agent of such Investment Advisory Client notifies the Adviser or the applicable Company Subsidiary in writing that such Investment Advisory Client has not so consented or has terminated its Investment Advisory Contract, and in each case such notice or termination has not been revoked. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the notices and consent contemplated by this Section 5.13 in respect of each Investment Advisory Contract may be provided to and obtained from, respectively, the counterparty to such agreement, and that consent from such counterparty or counterparties obtained in accordance with this Section 5.13 shall be deemed to be consent from both such counterparty or counterparties and any other Investment Advisory Client referenced in such agreement (but not a party to such agreement) for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) In connection with seeking the consent required for any Affirmative Consent Contract with an Investment Advisory Client, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire such written consents from each such Investment Advisory Client or its agent, including by seeking to contact, telephonically or in person, such client or agent that has not so consented within 10 days, but no fewer than five days, prior to the Closing Date to inquire as to such Investment Advisory Client’s intentions.

(d) Buyer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review, comment on and approve all consent materials to be used by the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to distribution, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer hereby approves the form of Consent Notice and Negative Consent Notice set forth on Exhibit G.

ARTICLE 6

Tax Matters

Section 6.01. Tax Matters

(a) The Company shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to such items, except as required by Applicable Law. The Company shall deliver to the Holders’ Representative a draft of any income Tax Returns or other material Tax Returns that are required to be filed after the Closing Date and relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”) for the Holders’ Representative’s review no later than 30 days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for the filing of such Pre-Closing Tax Returns, and the Company shall reflect any reasonable and timely comments of the Holders’ Representative with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Returns. The Holders’ Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to

release from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Company (i) the amount due and shown on Pre-Closing Tax Returns that constitutes Indemnifiable Taxes (other than amounts that, in the reasonable discretion of the Holders’ Representative, constitute Damages resulting from a breach of Section 6.01(d)) or (ii) if the Holders’ Representative (in its reasonable discretion) agrees with the amount shown as due on an IRS Form 7004 or other similar Tax form, the amount shown as due thereon that constitutes Indemnifiable Taxes (other than amounts that, in the reasonable discretion of the Holders’ Representative, constitute Damages resulting from a breach of Section 6.01(d)). From and after the Closing, the Buyer, the Company and Company Subsidiaries shall provide any Tax-related documents, information or other assistance reasonably requested by the Holders’ Representative in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid (i) to the Exchange Agent for payment to the Holders of Shares and Directly Exercisable Warrants and (ii) to the Company for payment to Option Holders, in each case in accordance with the Indemnity Percentage of each Holder, any refund of Taxes and interest thereon received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, the Company or any Company Subsidiary attributable to Indemnifiable Taxes, no later than ten days following receipt of such refund, net of any Taxes imposed thereon.

(c) From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall notify the Holders’ Representative in writing within three Business Days, otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.04, of receipt by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and Company Subsidiaries) of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period that would reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnity claim under this Agreement.

(d) Buyer will not, and will not cause or permit the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to, (i) take any action on the Closing Date other than in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to the distribution of any dividend or the effectuation of any redemption that could give rise to any Tax liability or reduce any Tax asset of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, (ii) make any election or deemed election under Section 338 of the Code or (iii) make any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or waive or extend any statute of limitations for the assessment or collection of Taxes, in each case with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that would reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnity claim under this Agreement, unless any such action (x) is required by Applicable Law or (y) the Holders’ Representative gives its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) Holders’ Representative shall have delivered to Buyer (i) a certification for the Company, signed under penalties of perjury by the Company and dated not more than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3) and confirms that the Company is not, nor has it been within 5 years of the date of the certification, a “United States real property holding corporation” as defined in Section 897 of the Code and (ii) a notice to the IRS, signed by the Company, that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2).

Section 6.02. Transfer Taxes

All excise, sales, use, value added, registration stamp, recording, documentary, conveyancing, franchise, property, transfer, gains and similar Taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and any expenses incurred in connection therewith) shall be borne one-half by the Holders and one-half by the Buyer. Buyer will file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Taxes, and, if required by applicable law, the Company will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

ARTICLE 7

Employee Matters

Section 7.01. Employee Benefits

(a) Buyer acknowledges that it shall, through the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, continue the employment of all of the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”). For a period beginning on the Effective Time and continuing thereafter through December 31, 2015 (or, if shorter, during the period of employment), Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide the Continuing Employees with (i) base salary or wage rates, incentive opportunities and severance plans and arrangements that are no less favorable than the base salary or wage rates, incentive opportunities and severance plans and arrangements provided to such Continuing Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) employee benefits (other than equity-based compensation) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Closing, with respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates in which any Continuing Employee becomes a participant, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, vacation, paid time-off and severance plan and other benefit plan accruals (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan), each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Affiliates (as well as service with any predecessor employer, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall be treated as service with Buyer and its Affiliates to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of its Affiliates under a comparable Employee Plan prior to the Closing; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(c) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or to cause its Affiliates to waive, any preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, except to the extent that such preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting

periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing. For the plan year in which the Closing occurs, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or to cause its Affiliates to recognize, all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) prior to the Closing for purposes of satisfying any analogous deductible and co-payment limitations and out-of-pocket requirements under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.01(a), except as set forth on Section 7.01(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make payments to Continuing Employees pursuant to annual cash incentive plans with respect to the annual performance period in which the Closing Date occurs based on actual performance upon the terms and conditions of such plans as in effect on the date hereof and otherwise based on the allocation by the Compensation Committee set forth on Section 7.01(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the applicable payment date under the applicable annual cash incentive plan, such employee’s annual bonus shall be paid based on actual performance as of the date of such employee’s termination of employment in a lump sum cash payment upon such employee’s termination.

Section 7.02. No Third Party Beneficiaries.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in Section 7.01 are included for the sole benefit of Buyer and the Company. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.08, nothing in this Article 7, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any current or former employees or any Continuing Employee, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, and no provision of this Article 7 (other than Section 7.01(d)) shall constitute an amendment of, or an undertaking to amend, any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates or limit the right of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to amend or terminate any Employee Plan after the Closing. Nothing in this Article 7 shall create any obligation on the part of Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, to continue to employ any Continuing Employee for any period of time following the Closing Date.

ARTICLE 9

Survival; Indemnification

Section 9.01. Survival

All representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall expire and terminate upon the Final Indemnity Escrow Release Date, except for the Company Fundamental Warranties, Holder Fundamental Warranties and the Buyer Fundamental Warranties, each of which shall expire and terminate on the three-year anniversary following the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other writing delivered

pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing until the Final Indemnity Escrow Release Date; provided that the covenants which by their terms are to be performed by the parties following Closing shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the shorter period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, (A) any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentences, if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given in accordance with Section 9.04 or Section 9.05, as applicable, to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time, (B) all representations and warranties of any Holder set forth in Section 10(c) (Ownership) of any Letter of Transmittal shall survive indefinitely, and (C) any claim for fraud shall survive indefinitely.

Section 9.02. Indemnification by the Holders.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, from and after the Effective Time, each Holder, severally but not jointly, in proportion to such Holder’s Indemnity Percentage, hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, partners, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) against, and to hold each of them harmless from any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses ((x) including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any Claim, but (y) excluding (A) punitive, exemplary or other similar damages and (B) any consequential damages to the extent that such damages were not reasonably foreseeable (other than, in each case in this clause (y), any such damages or losses actually paid to a third party in respect of a Third-Party Claim)) (collectively, “Damages”) to the extent arising out of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by the Company or a Holder in this Agreement (or any inaccuracy in the certificate required pursuant to Section 8.02(e)) or any Letter of Transmittal; provided that, with respect to a breach by a Holder of a Holder Fundamental Warranty, such Holder shall be liable for the full amount of any Damages attributable to such breach and any amount payable from the Indemnity Escrow Account in respect thereof shall be deducted from such Holder’s Remaining Possible Consideration;

(ii) any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company or any Holder pursuant to this Agreement or any Letter of Transmittal; provided that, with respect to a breach by a Holder of a covenant or agreement in such Holder’s Letter of Transmittal, such Holder shall be liable for the full amount of any Damages attributable to such breach and any amount payable from the Indemnity Escrow Account in respect thereof shall be deducted from such Holder’s Remaining Possible Consideration;

(iii) any Indemnifiable Taxes; or

(iv) any Stockholder Claims.

(b) With respect to indemnification by the Holders pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i), other than in respect of any breach of a Company Fundamental Warranty or a Holder Fundamental Warranty or in the event of fraud, (i) the Holders shall not be liable for any individual matter or series of related matters unless the Damages with respect thereto exceed $25,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”), (ii) the Holders shall not be liable for any Damages in respect of any matter unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages with respect thereto (disregarding any Damages for which the Holders are not liable pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess and (iii) the Holders’ maximum aggregate liability shall be limited to the Indemnity Escrow Amount (the “Cap”).

(c) With respect to indemnification by the Holders for all matters pursuant to Section 9.02(a), Buyer hereby agrees that the sole recourse of Buyer Indemnified Persons in respect of all such matters shall be the right to seek payment from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and Buyer Indemnified Persons shall have no right to seek payment directly from the Holders in respect of any such matters; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the remedies available to any party hereto (A) for any breaches of Company Fundamental Warranties or Holder Fundamental Warranties or any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Company or any Holder pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or (B) for fraud. Except for breaches involving fraud (in which case, the liability of the Holders shall be uncapped), in no event shall the aggregate amount for which any Holder shall be liable to all Buyer Indemnified Persons under this Agreement exceed the amount actually received by such Holder hereunder.

(d) To the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 for any Damages, the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be required to first pursue such claim against the Indemnity Escrow Account, and, to the extent there are sufficient funds available in the Indemnity Escrow Account to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons for the full amount of the indemnifiable portion of such Damages, any dispute with respect to such claim related to such Damages shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement prior to any such Buyer Indemnified Persons seeking payment directly from any Holders with respect to such Damages; provided, however, that if there are insufficient funds available in the Indemnity Escrow Account to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Persons for the full amount of the indemnifiable portion of such Damages, such Buyer Indemnified Persons shall be permitted to seek indemnification directly from the relevant Holder(s) to the extent of any shortfall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9.

(e) With respect to indemnification by the Holders pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17, Holders shall be liable for Damages only with respect to Taxes incurred in Pre-Closing Tax Periods. For this purpose, in the case of any Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) that

are payable for a Straddle Tax Period, the portion of such Taxes incurred in the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income, be deemed to equal the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period that ends on and includes the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, shall equal the portion of such Tax that would have been payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

Section 9.03. Indemnification by Buyer

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, from and after the Effective Time, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify the Holders and their Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees, partners, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against, and to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Damages to the extent arising out of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Merger Sub in this Agreement (or any inaccuracy in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii)(A)); or

(ii) any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) With respect to indemnification by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.03(a), other than in respect of any breach of a Buyer Fundamental Warranty, any breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement or in the event of fraud, (i) Buyer shall not be liable for any individual matter or series of related matters unless the Damages with respect thereto exceed the De Minimis Amount, (ii) Buyer shall not be liable for any Damages in respect of any matter unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages with respect thereto (disregarding any Damages for which the Holders are not liable pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)) exceeds the Deductible, and then only to the extent of such excess and (iii) the Buyer’s maximum aggregate liability shall be limited to the Cap. For avoidance of doubt, the rights of Holders and their Affiliates with respect to Damages arising under Section 9.03(a)(ii) shall not be affected by the fact that such Damages constitute Indemnifiable Taxes resulting from a breach of Section 6.01(d).

Section 9.04. Third-Party Claim Procedures

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a) (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (a

“Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such Third-Party Claim and the basis for indemnification in respect thereof (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.04, have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 45 days of receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim from the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.04(a), to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so elect to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party and shall not constitute indemnifiable Damages hereunder unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) the representation of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party by the same counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, if the settlement (A) does not release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third-Party Claim, (B) imposes injunctive, equitable relief or any obligation on the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified hereunder, (C) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing or violation of Applicable Laws by the Indemnified Party or (D) encumbers the assets of the Indemnified Party or imposes any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect the Indemnified Party or (E) reasonably could be expected to affect the Taxes of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates for a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice and at its own expense for such purpose. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d) Each party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 9.05. Direct Claim Procedures

In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such Direct Claim and the basis for indemnification in respect thereof (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.06. Escrow Procedures

The parties hereto agree that their respective rights and obligations with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Account, including the funding of the requisite amounts into the Indemnity Escrow Account, the procedure for the making of claims against the amounts in the Indemnity Escrow Account and the release of such amounts from the Indemnity Escrow Account, shall be governed by, and subject to the terms and provisions of, this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 9.07. Calculation of Damages

(a) The amount of any Damages payable under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as applicable, by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any (i) amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or pursuant to contractual indemnities from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor and (ii) Tax benefit arising from the incurrence or payment of such Damages actually realized by the Indemnified Party (in cash or as a reduction in Taxes otherwise due in the same 24 month period as such incurrence or payment). If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or pursuant to contractual indemnities from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, after the Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment in respect of such Damages, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and the right of the applicable Indemnified Party to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives), or by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty or covenant (as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedule) is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of any waiver by such Indemnified Party of any condition set forth in Article 8.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as applicable, for any Damages relating to any matter to the extent that (i) the Indemnified Party has otherwise been compensated for such Damages pursuant to the purchase price adjustment under Section 2.14 or (ii) the Indemnified Party has recovered for such Damages under another provision of this Agreement. In addition, in determining the amount of Damages, due regard shall be given to items identified in, and either accrued or reserved for in, the Financial Statements (or disclosed in the notes thereto).

(d) For purposes of this Article 9 (including for purposes of (i) determining whether or not there has been a breach of a representation or warranty by the Company, any Holder or Buyer and (ii) calculating the amount of Damages incurred arising out of or relating to any such breach), all representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be construed as if the word “material” and any reference to “Material Adverse Effect” (and variations thereof) were omitted from such representation, warranty or covenant, as the case may be.

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Agreement, including taking any commercially reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party for such purpose, and no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any Damages to the extent arising from or aggravated by such Indemnified Party’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be required to take or omit to take any action to mitigate under this Section 9.07(d) if the taking or omission of such action would be detrimental in any material respect to such Indemnified Party or would disrupt the ongoing business operations of the Indemnified Party. If such Indemnified Party mitigates its Damages after the Indemnifying Party has paid the Indemnified Party under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of such Damages, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party and pay to the Indemnifying Party the extent of the value of the benefit to the Indemnified Party of that mitigation (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs of mitigation) promptly after the benefit is received. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any costs to the Indemnified Party in connection with any mitigation undertaken pursuant to this Section 9.07(e) shall be deemed Damages of the Indemnified Party, (ii) such efforts to mitigate shall not include an obligation to litigate or initiate any action or pursue indemnification and (iii) if mitigation first requires expenditure of funds, then the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to seek such mitigation unless the Indemnifying Party advances such funds.

(f) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any proceeds available under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible, for any Damages payable under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the relevant Indemnified Party shall be obligated to pursue the recovery of insurance proceeds only if such pursuit is reasonable, taking into account the effort necessary to pursue such recovery and any adverse consequences resulting, or reasonably expected to result, from such pursuit to such party.

Section 9.08. Exclusive Remedy

This Article 9 shall constitute the exclusive remedy after the Closing for recovery of Damages by Indemnified Parties in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or remedies of Buyer or any other Indemnified Party (a) in connection with fraud, (b) with respect to specific performance, injunctive and other equitable relief or (c) pursuant to Article 12 hereof.

Section 9.09. Purchase Price Adjustment

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any amount paid under this Article 9 shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Aggregate Purchase Price. Any amount payable by Buyer to the Holders under this Article 9 shall be paid to the Holders in proportion to each such Holder’s Indemnity Percentage.

Section 9.10. Holders’ Representative

(a) Effective upon and by virtue of the vote of the Stockholders approving and adopting this Agreement and the Merger (including pursuant to the Written Consent) and in respect of the other Holders by virtue of approval of the Merger pursuant to any Letter of Transmittal or other receipt of consideration in respect of the Merger, and without any further act of any of the Holders, the Holders’ Representative shall be hereby appointed as the representative of the Holders and as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each such Holder for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and will take such actions to be taken by the Holders’ Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and such other actions on behalf of such Holders as it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including (i) taking all actions and making all filings on behalf of such Holders with any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, (ii) agreeing to, negotiating, entering into settlements and compromises of, complying with orders of courts with respect to, and otherwise administering and handling any claims under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement on behalf of such Holders, including indemnifications claims, (iii) negotiating and executing any waivers or amendments of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (provided that any amendment that shall adversely and disproportionately affect the rights or obligations of any Holder shall require the prior written consent of such Holder)

and (iv) taking all other actions that are either necessary or appropriate in its judgment for the accomplishment of the foregoing or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Holders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Holders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts based on contact information available to the Holders’ Representative to keep the Holders reasonably informed with respect to actions of the Holders’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted the Holders’ Representative under this Agreement which actions have a material impact on the amounts payable to the Holders. Each Holder shall promptly provide written notice to the Holders’ Representative of any change of address of such Holder.

(b) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holders’ Representative (or any one of them, if the Holders’ Representative shall be comprised of more than one Person) hereunder shall constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of such Holders, and the Escrow Agent and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holders’ Representative (or any one of them, if the Holders’ Representative shall be comprised of more than one Person) as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Holder. The Escrow Agent and Buyer shall be relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holders’ Representative (or any one of them, if the Holders’ Representative shall be comprised of more than one Person).

(c) The Holders’ Representative shall have the right to recover from, at its sole discretion, the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Account, the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Property or any disbursements to be made to the Holders from the funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account, prior to any distribution to the Holders, (i) Holders’ Representative’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in serving in that capacity and (ii) any amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to the indemnification provision in Section 9.10(e) (each item in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.10(c) referred to as a “Charge”, and collectively the “Charges”). In the event the Indemnity Escrow Account funds so distributed, the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Account and the Holders’ Representative Expense Fund Property (collectively, the “Escrow Property”) is insufficient to satisfy the Charges, then the Holders (including the Holders’ Representative itself) will be obligated to pay the Charges in excess of the Escrow Property pro rata, based on their relative Indemnity Percentages.

(d) The Holders’ Representative will incur no liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by any party in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by such Holders’ Representative to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person (and shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In all questions arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Holders’ Representative may rely on the advice of outside counsel, and the Holders’ Representative will not be liable to any Holder for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Holders’ Representative based on such advice.

(e) The Holders shall severally (each based on its Indemnity Percentage) but not jointly indemnify the Holders’ Representative and hold the Holders’ Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, on the part of the Holders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Holders’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Holders’ Representative.

(f) At any time during the term of the Escrow Agreement, a majority-in-interest of Holders may, by written consent, appoint a new representative as the Holders’ Representative. Notice together with a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of Holders of a majority-in-interest of those Holders must be delivered to Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent not less than ten days prior to such appointment. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. For the purposes of this Section 9.10, a “majority-in-interest of the Holders” shall mean Holders representing in the aggregate over 50% of the percentage interests in the Escrow Property.

(g) In the event that the Holders’ Representative becomes unable or unwilling to continue in its capacity as Holders’ Representative, or if the Holders’ Representative resigns as a Holders’ Representative, a majority-in-interest of the Holders shall use its reasonable best efforts, by written consent, to appoint a new representative as the Holders’ Representative. Notice and a copy of the written consent appointing such new representative and bearing the signatures of the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Holders must be delivered to Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Buyer;

(b) by the Company, if Buyer has breached in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article 8 to be satisfied, which breach has not been cured within 20 Business Days after the giving of written notice by the Company to Buyer specifying such breach; provided that the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(b) only if the Company is not in breach in any material respect of any of its obligations hereunder;

(c) by Buyer, if the Company has breached in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by it contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article 8 to be satisfied, which breach has not been cured within 20 Business Days after the giving of written notice by Buyer to the Company specifying such breach; provided that Buyer may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(c) only if Buyer is not in breach in any material respect of any of its obligations hereunder;

(d) by either the Company, the Holders’ Representative or Buyer, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before January 31, 2015 (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such time;

(e) by either the Company, the Holders’ Representative or Buyer if consummation of the Merger would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; or

The provisions of this Section 10.02 and of Section 5.04, Section 5.09, Section 9.10 and Articles 11 and 12 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 10.01.

Section 11.02. Amendments and Waivers

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective (with the Holders’ Representative being authorized to act on behalf of the Holders).

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 11.03. Expenses

Except as otherwise provided herein (including, for the sake of clarity, with respect to the Company Transaction Expenses, which shall be borne by the Holders as a deduct from the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 11.04. Successors and Assigns

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto, and any purported assignment, delegation or transfer of rights or obligations under this Agreement in violation of this provision shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 11.05. Governing Law

This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 11.06. Jurisdiction

Except as set forth in Section 2.14(d), any action against any party relating to the foregoing shall be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of New York over any such action. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such action. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 11.07. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.08. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third-Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except (i) in the event this Agreement is terminated, for the right of the Holders’ Representative to pursue claims (on behalf of all of the Holders) for monetary damages incurred or suffered by such Holders, subject to Section 10.02, which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by Buyer and Merger Sub, (ii) prior to the Effective Time, for the right of the Holders’ Representative to pursue claims (on behalf of all of the Holders) for damages incurred or suffered by such Holders, subject to Section 10.02, for any breach of this Agreement by Buyer or Merger Sub, whether or not this Agreement has been validly terminated, which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by Buyer and Merger Sub and (iii) with respect to (A) Article 2, the Holders, (B) Section 5.11, the Persons subject to indemnification under such clause, (C) Article 9, the Persons entitled to indemnification thereunder, and (D) Section 11.12, the Holders.

Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any party hereto shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.10. Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Severability

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.12. Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege

(a) Each of Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) covenants and agrees that, following the Closing, Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP or any other internal or external legal counsel currently representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Prior Company Counsel”) may serve as counsel to the Holders, the Holders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates in connection with any matters arising under or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including with respect to any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding any representation by the Prior Company Counsel prior to the Closing Date of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby irrevocably (i) waive any claim they have or may have that a Prior Company Counsel has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) covenant and agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Holder(s), the Holders’ Representative and/or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, Prior Company Counsel may represent any Holder, the Holders’ Representative and/or any of their respective Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Acquired Companies and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented the Acquired Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b) All communications between any Holder(s), the Holders’ Representative, the Company of any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Prior Company Counsel, on the other hand, related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Holders, the Holders’ Representative and their respective Affiliates (excluding, for the sake of clarity, the Company and its Subsidiaries) (the “Holder Pre-Closing Transaction Related Communications”). Accordingly, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their directors, officers, advisors or other representatives shall have access to any such Holder Pre-Closing Transaction Related Communications or to the files of Prior Company Counsel relating to such engagement from and after the Closing, and all books, records and other materials of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in any medium (including electronic copies) containing or reflecting any of the Holder Pre-Closing Transaction Related Communications or the work product of legal counsel with respect thereto, including any related summaries, drafts or analyses, and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing, are hereby assigned and transferred to the Holders and the Holders’ Representative effective as of the Closing (collectively, the “Holder Privileged Materials”). The Holder Privileged Materials shall be excluded from the transfer contemplated by this Agreement and shall be distributed to the Holders’ Representative (on behalf of itself and the Holders) immediately prior to Closing with no copies thereof retained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective representatives. From and after the Closing, Buyer, its Affiliates and the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives shall maintain the confidentiality of the Holder Privileged Materials. From and after the Closing, none of Buyer, its Affiliates, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and their respective representatives shall access or in any way, directly or indirectly, use or rely upon any Holder Privileged Materials. To the extent that any Holder Privileged Materials are not delivered to the Holders’ Representative (on behalf of itself and the Holders), the Company agrees (on behalf of its self and its Subsidiaries) not to assert a waiver of any applicable privilege or protection, and will deliver all such Holder Privileged Materials to the Holders’ Representative (on behalf of itself and the Holders) promptly upon discovery thereof, without retaining copies thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) the Holders and the Holders’ Representative in such capacities shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Holder Privileged Materials, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Prior Company Counsel in respect of Holder Privileged Materials constitute property of the client, only the Holders and the Holders’ Representative shall hold such property rights and (c) Prior Company Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any Holder Privileged Materials to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Prior Company Counsel and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. Each of Buyer and the Company hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has had the opportunity to review and obtain adequate information regarding the significance and risks of the waivers and other terms and conditions of this Section 11.12, including the opportunity to discuss with counsel such matters and reasonable alternatives to such terms. This Section 11.12 is for the benefit of Holders, the Holders’ Representative, their respective Affiliates, each of which is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 11.12. The covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 11.12 shall survive for 10 years following the Closing Date.

Section 11.13. Company Disclosure Schedule

(a) In respect of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the parties agree that

(i) any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (i) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (ii) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties (or covenants) would be readily apparent to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representations and warranties (or covenants); and

(iii) (i) the Company Disclosure Schedule may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Buyer, and (ii) the disclosure by the Company of any matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by the Company that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material.

Section 11.14. Specific Performance

The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the courts provided in Section 11.06, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) any defense to any action for specific performance hereunder based on the claim that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. The pursuit of specific enforcement by any party hereto will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy (whether at law or in equity) to which such party may be entitled (including monetary damages), and any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party.

ARTICLE 12

Guarantee

Section 12.01. Guarantor Representations

Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows: Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and

perform its obligations under this Article 12. The execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations under this Article 12 have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Article 12 do not and will not (a) conflict with or violate the organizational documents of Guarantor, (b) require the consent of any Person or (c) conflict with or violate, in any material respect, any Applicable Law.

Section 12.02. Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.02, Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Company the due and punctual payment of (i) any and all amounts payable by Buyer pursuant to Article 2 or Article 9 or (ii) in the event Closing does not occur, any monetary obligation of Buyer to the Company resulting from such failure to close (together with clause (i) immediately above, the “Guaranteed Obligation”). Guarantor hereby acknowledges that this guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligation shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Buyer. Guarantor agrees that (A) if Buyer fails to make any payments of the Guaranteed Obligations when due, such amount shall for purposes hereof, be immediately due and payable by Guarantor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Company upon written notice from the Company to Guarantor demanding payment thereof and (B) the Company may at any time and from time to time, so long as Buyer has failed to pay the Guaranteed Obligation if due, take any and all actions available hereunder or under Applicable Law to collect the Guaranteed Obligation from Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives diligence, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of a merger or bankruptcy of Buyer, any right to require a proceeding first against Buyer, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this guaranty will not be discharged as to any obligation except by satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligation in full. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against Buyer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of its obligations under this guaranty and this Agreement, including any right of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Company against Buyer or any collateral which the Company hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from Parent, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of a party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or

modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or the invalidity or unenforceability (in whole or in part) of this Agreement, unless consented to in writing by the Company and (c) any change in the existence (corporate or otherwise) of Buyer or Guarantor or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting any of them or their assets. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and that the waivers set forth in this Section 12.02 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
