For purposes of calculating the amount to be paid to each holder of Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time, the amounts described in this Section 2.6(a) shall be calculated assuming that the Merger Consideration is equal to the Closing Merger Consideration, and shall be adjusted following the Closing as set forth herein. The amount to be paid to each holder of Company Capital Stock for each share of Company Capital Stock held shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

(iii)

All shares of Company Capital Stock, when canceled, extinguished and converted pursuant to this Section 2.6(a), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and each former holder of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration provided for in this Section 2.6(a).

the amount of the Securityholders’ Rep Expense Fund to the Securityholders’ Representative.

If, after the Effective Time, certificates for Company Capital Stock are presented to the Company for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.6.

2.7

Mechanism of Payment and Delivery of Certificates.

(a)

No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub will cooperate with one another to deliver or mail to each Securityholder a letter of transmittal and instructions (collectively, “Transmittal Documentation”) to the satisfaction of Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative for use by each Securityholder in surrendering the stock certificates evidencing Company Capital Stock (“Certificates”) held by such Securityholder immediately prior to the Effective Time and receiving the Merger Consideration to which such Securityholder will be entitled pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(b)

Except as contemplated by Section 2.6(a)(iv)(B), upon surrender to Buyer of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss (and indemnity, if applicable)), together with such Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, at the Closing, if such Certificate and Letter of Transmittal are surrendered prior to the Closing, or within five (5) Business Days after such surrender, if such Certificate and Letter of Transmittal are surrendered after the Closing, in exchange therefor, cash in an amount set forth in the Distribution Allocation, which amounts shall be paid by Buyer by check or wire transfer in accordance with the instructions provided by such Securityholder. No interest or dividends will be paid or accrued on the consideration payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate. If the consideration provided for herein is to be delivered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate was surrendered, it shall be a condition of such delivery that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(b), each Certificate (other than those representing Dissenting Shares or Company Capital Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.7(d)) shall represent, for all purposes, only the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.6(a) in respect of the Company Capital Stock formerly evidenced by such Certificate, without any interest or dividends thereon.

(c)

No party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Certificates or any other person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered or transferred by the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration, dividends (whether in cash, stock or property) or other distributions with respect to Company Capital Stock in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Authority), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Securityholders pro rata in accordance with the Distribution Allocation (subject to reallocation as necessary to exclude the Company Capital Stock in respect of which such Certificate shall not have been surrendered or transferred), free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d)

In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of loss and indemnity (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Securityholders’ Representative) of that fact by the person (who shall be the record owner of such Certificate) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

2.8

No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The portion of the Merger Consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.9

Repaid Indebtedness; Company Transaction Expense. It is contemplated by the parties that, upon the Closing, all Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than capital leases) as of the Closing Date will be fully repaid (the “Repaid Indebtedness”), and that such repayment will be funded as a deduction from the Closing Merger Consideration payable at the Effective Time by Buyer. In order to facilitate such repayment, the Company or its Subsidiary shall obtain a payoff letter prior to the Closing Date from each creditor to whom the Repaid Indebtedness is owed, acknowledging the aggregate principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest constituting the Repaid Indebtedness estimated as of the Closing Date. At Closing, Buyer shall make or cause to be made the payments referenced in such payoff letters on the Closing Date in order to discharge the Repaid Indebtedness covered thereby. In addition, it is contemplated by the parties hereto that, upon the Closing, all of the transaction expenses of the Company Group and the Securityholders (the “Transaction Expenses”) will be fully paid by Buyer or the Company, and that the excess of (a) the Transaction Expenses, minus (b) $2,000,000, will be funded as a deduction from the Closing Merger Consideration payable at the Effective Time by Buyer; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the fees and expenses incurred by the Company Group in connection with the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company Group for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 shall not constitute “Transaction Expenses” hereunder so long as such fees and expenses are materially consistent with the fees and expenses incurred by the Company Group in connection with the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company Group for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the Transaction Expenses on the Closing Date in order to discharge the amounts of all such Liabilities in their entireties.

2.10

Dissenting Shares.

(a)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by the holders of Company Capital Stock who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, any portion of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such holders of Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by the holders of Company Capital Stock who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided herein, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv)(B) in respect of any shares of Company Capital Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Buyer upon demand.

(b)

The Company shall give (i) Buyer and the Securityholders’ Representative prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the Securityholders’ Representative the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

2.11

Withholding. Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Securityholder such amount as Buyer or the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect such payment under the Code or the Treasury Regulations, or any other provision of applicable federal, state, local or foreign law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Securityholder in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Buyer is acquiring the Company Capital Stock solely for Buyer’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or with any present intention of, reselling or otherwise distributing the Company Capital Stock or dividing its participation herein with others. Buyer understands and acknowledges that (a) none of the Company Capital Stock has been registered or qualified under the 1933 Act, or under any securities laws of any state of the United States or other jurisdiction, in reliance upon specific exemptions thereunder for transactions not involving any public offering; (b) all of the Company Capital Stock constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act; (c) none of the Company Capital Stock is traded or tradable on any securities exchange or over-the-counter; and (d) none of the Company Capital Stock may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to such Company Capital Stock and qualification in accordance with any applicable state securities laws becomes effective or unless such registration and qualification is inapplicable, or an exemption therefrom is available. Buyer will not transfer or otherwise dispose any of the Company Capital Stock acquired hereunder or any interest therein in any manner that may cause any Securityholder to be in violation of the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws. Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act.

6.7

Brokerage. Except as disclosed in Section 6.7 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, there are no claims for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of Buyer or Merger Sub.

6.8

Financing. Attached hereto as Section 6.8 of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule are true and correct copies of executed commitment letters and redacted fee letters from the financial institutions identified therein (the “Commitment Letters”) to provide, subject to the terms and conditions therein, debt financing to Buyer in the amounts set forth therein (being collectively referred to as the “Financing”). The Commitment Letters are (i) legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer and Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of Buyer and Merger Sub, each of the parties thereto, and (ii) enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against Buyer and Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of Buyer and Merger Sub, each of the other parties thereto. Assuming the Financing is funded in accordance with the Commitment Letters, the proceeds received by Buyer or Merger Sub, together with other financial resources of Buyer or the Merger Sub, will be sufficient to pay the amounts required to be paid by Buyer under this Agreement. The obligations to fund the commitments under the Commitment Letters are not subject to any condition or any other contingency, other than in each case the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Buyer nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the Financing will not be available to Buyer or Merger Sub on the Closing Date; provided, that Buyer is not making any representation regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V or compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder. There are no side letters or other agreements or arrangements to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters and any customary engagement letter and non-disclosure agreements that do not impact the conditionality or amount of the Financing. Prior to the date hereof, none of the Commitment Letters has been amended or modified, and the respective obligations and commitments contained in the Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. Each Commitment Letter is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, and has been executed by Buyer and, to the Buyer’s Knowledge, each other Person party thereto. All commitment and other fees required to be paid by Buyer on or prior to the date hereof under or in respect of the Commitment Letters have been paid.

6.9

Due Diligence Review. Buyer acknowledges that: (a) it has completed to its satisfaction its own due diligence review with respect to the Company Group and it is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on such investigation and, except for the specific representations and warranties made by the Company in Article V hereof, it is not relying upon any representation or warranty of the Company or any Securityholder or any Affiliate thereof or any officer, director, employee, agent or advisor, or any of them, nor upon the accuracy of any record, projection or statement made available or given to Buyer in the performance of such investigation, (b) it has had access to its full satisfaction to the Company and its books and records, contracts, agreements and documents (including Tax Returns and related documents), and employees, agents and representatives, and (c) it has had such opportunity to seek accounting, legal or other advice or information in connection with its entry into this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein relating to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as it has seen fit.

6.10

Ownership of Merger Sub; No Prior Activities. Buyer, either directly or indirectly, owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with its formation and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Merger Sub has not and will not have incurred, directly or indirectly, through any Subsidiary or Affiliate, any obligations or liabilities or engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided in Section 7.1, Buyer and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company Parties, on the other hand, each acknowledge and agree that all documents, copies thereof, and all other materials received from or on behalf of the other party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, shall continue to be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

All representations and warranties of the Company Group or the Securityholders contained in this Agreement and in any writing or certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit attached hereto) or the transactions contemplated hereby (including pursuant to Section 3.2(c)), other than the Fundamental Representations, which shall survive the Effective Time in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, shall terminate and expire immediately following the Effective Time.

(i)

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify the Securityholders’ Representative, the Securityholders, their respective Affiliates and each of the foregoing’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Securityholder Indemnitees”) and hold each Securityholder Indemnitee harmless against any Loss which any Securityholder Indemnitee suffers, as a result of: (A) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article VI hereof; (B) the breach by Buyer or Merger Sub of any covenant or agreement of Buyer or Merger Sub, respectively, contained in this Agreement or the breach by any member of the Company Group of any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement required to be performed by the Company Group from and after the Closing, and (C) Buyer’s (direct or indirect) ownership of the equity of the Company Group and the conduct of the Business from and after the Closing Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Buyer Survival Date” shall mean the date that is thirty (30) days following the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2014; provided, however, that the Buyer Survival Date with respect to any Loss resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer and Merger Sub set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 shall mean the date that the statute of limitation with respect thereto shall expire, plus 60 days.

(c)

Procedures.

(i)

Notice of Claim. Any indemnified party making a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or (b) (an “Indemnified Party”) must give the Securityholders’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, prompt written notice of such claim describing such claim and the nature and amount of such Loss, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (a “Claim Notice”) promptly after the Indemnified Party receives any written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim (a “Proceeding”) against or involving the Indemnified Party by a third party or otherwise discovers the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Securityholders’ Representative or Buyer, as the case may be, will not relieve the indemnifying party (whether the Securityholders or Buyer) (the “Indemnifying Party”) of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or (b), except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(ii)

Control of Defense; Conditions. With respect to the defense of any Proceeding against or involving an Indemnified Party in which the claimant seeks the recovery of a sum of money for which indemnification is provided, at its option the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel of such defense a legal counsel of national standing selected by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense and settlement of any Proceeding if any of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the Indemnifying Party fails to actively and diligently defend such Proceeding, (B) the Indemnifying Party cannot demonstrate that it has the financial resources sufficient to satisfy any Losses and the cost of defense; or (C) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, counsel for the Indemnifying Party could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party.

(iii)

Control of Defense; Exceptions, etc. The Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense, with the Indemnified Party obligated hereby to provide reasonable cooperation with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of claims or litigation, including by making employees, information, and documentation reasonably available.

(iv)

Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party must obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld) prior to entering into any settlement of any claim or Proceeding or ceasing to defend any claim or Proceeding unless the proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief on the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party will not settle any claim for which it has sought or is seeking recovery from any Securityholder Indemnitor without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(d)

Net Recovery. The amount of any Loss shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, indemnities, reimbursement arrangements or contracts pursuant to which or under which such Person or such Person’s Affiliates is a party or has rights (“Alternative Arrangements”) with respect to such Loss. The amount of any Loss claimed by any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be reduced to the extent of any Tax savings or benefits actually realized by any Indemnified Party or its Subsidiaries that is attributable to any deduction, loss, credit or other Tax benefit resulting from or arising out of such Loss, but solely in the Tax year of such Loss or any previous Tax year. If the amount to be netted pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) from any payment required pursuant to this Section 8.1 is determined only after such payment, the Indemnified Party shall repay the Indemnifying Party (or the Securityholders in case of amount recovered by Buyer or the Company or any of their Affiliates) promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after such determination) any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 8.1 had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

(e)

Payments. Any payment pursuant to a claim for indemnification shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of written notice from the Indemnified Party stating the amount of the claim, unless the claim is subject to defense as provided in Section 8.1(c) or is a dispute, claim or controversy which is the subject of an unresolved judicial proceeding, or the claim is disputed by the Indemnifying Party and such dispute remains unresolved, in which case payment shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the amount of the claim is finally determined or any such dispute is resolved. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes only as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration.

(f)

Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall modify such Indemnified Party’s applicable common law duties to mitigate Losses in respect of any indemnifiable breach hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

(g)

Exclusive Remedy. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Securityholder Indemnitees with respect to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except in the case of remedies for actual fraud. After the consummation of the Closing, no party to this Agreement or its Affiliates may seek the rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h)

Subrogation. After any indemnification payment is made pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights (if any) of the Indemnified Party against any third party in connection with the Losses to which such payment relates. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any Indemnified Party receiving an indemnification payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall execute, upon the written request of the Indemnifying Party, any instrument reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.

8.2

Mutual Assistance. Each of the parties hereto agrees that they will mutually cooperate in the expeditious filing of all notices, reports and other filings with any Governmental Authority required to be submitted jointly by any of the parties hereto in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Subsequent to the Closing, each of the parties hereto will assist each other (including by the retention of records and the provision of access to relevant records) in the preparation of their respective Tax Returns and the filing and execution of Tax elections, if required, as well as in the defense of any audits or litigation that may ensue as a result of the filing thereof, to the extent that such assistance is reasonably requested, in each case at their own cost and expense.

8.3

Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall be solely responsible for and shall bear all of its own costs and expenses incident to its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any such costs and expenses incurred by any party hereto in connection with the negotiation, preparation and performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers or other representatives and consultants), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, it being understood and agreed that the Company shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with obtaining any third party consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.4

Transfer Taxes; Recording Charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by the Securityholders (severally and not jointly (except in the case of the GGC Securityholders, whose obligations shall be joint and several among the GGC Securityholders), in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages) when due, and Buyer will, at its own expense, make all necessary filings with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges.

8.5

Securityholders’ Representative.

(a)

By virtue of its approval of the Merger or submission of the Transmittal Documentation (as applicable), each Securityholder designates and appoints the Securityholders’ Representative as such Securityholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to take any and all actions that the Securityholders’ Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement for and on behalf of the Securityholders, as fully as if each Securityholder was acting on its own behalf, including full power and authority on such Securityholder’s behalf (i) to give and receive notices and communications and to accept service of process on behalf of such Securityholder, (ii) to authorize, negotiate, compromise, settle, agree to and otherwise handle any adjustments to the Merger Consideration under this Agreement, (iii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with judgments or order of courts or other Governmental Authorities and awards of arbitrators, with respect to, any claims by any Buyer Indemnitee against any Securityholder or by any Securityholder against any Buyer Indemnitee, or any other dispute between any Buyer Indemnitee and any Securityholder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (v) to pay such Securityholder’s portion of the Transaction Expenses (whether incurred on or after the date hereof) and to retain amounts from the Merger Consideration for the purpose of paying expenses incurred by it pursuant to matters arising out of this Agreement or satisfying any post-Closing adjustment(s) to the Merger Consideration, (vi) to disburse any funds received hereunder to each Securityholder, (vii) to execute and deliver any Certificates and execution of such further instruments as may be delivered to Buyer, (viii) to interpret all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to consent to, execute and deliver any amendment or waiver hereof on behalf of each such Securityholder, (ix) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Securityholder in connection herewith, (x) to authorize payments to be made with respect to this Agreement, (xi) to deal with Buyer under this Agreement with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement, (xii) to take any and all other actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement, and to engage counsel, accountants or other agents in connection with the foregoing matters, (xiii) to obtain reimbursement (whether or not out of the Securityholders’ Rep Expense Fund) as provided for herein for all out-of-pocket fees and expenses and other obligations of, or incurred by, the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with this Agreement and (xiv) to take all actions that are either necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or are specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. Notices or communications to or from the Securityholders’ Representative will constitute notice to or from each of the Securityholders for all purposes under this Agreement except where the context otherwise requires.

(b)

The Securityholders’ Representative may delegate its authority as Securityholders’ Representative to any one of the Securityholders (or their Affiliates) for a fixed or indeterminate period of time upon not fewer than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Buyer in accordance with Section 9.2. Each successor Securityholders’ Representative has all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Securityholders’ Representative, and the term “Securityholders’ Representative” as used in this Agreement includes any successor Securityholders’ Representative.

(c)

A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative acting on behalf of the Securityholders constitutes a decision of all the Securityholders (except where the context otherwise requires) and is final, binding and conclusive upon the Securityholders, and Buyer and any Indemnified Party may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders.

(d)

The Securityholders’ Representative will have no liability to any Person for any act done or omitted under this Agreement as the Securityholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and not in a manner constituting wanton misconduct, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Securityholders will severally indemnify and hold harmless the Securityholders’ Representative from and against any Losses the Securityholders’ Representative may suffer as a result of any such action or omission.

(e)

The Securityholders’ Representative will receive no compensation for services as the Securityholders’ Representative. The Securityholders will reimburse, on a pro rata basis in proportion to their interest in the Merger Consideration, the Securityholders’ Representative for professional fees and expenses of any attorney, accountant or other advisors retained by the Securityholders’ Representative and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the performance of the Securityholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement. An amount equal to $250,000 (the “Securityholders’ Rep Expense Fund”) will be deducted from the Closing Merger Consideration and delivered to the Securityholders’ Representative at the Closing to be held in trust as a source of such reimbursement for costs and out-of-pocket

expenses (including Taxes and costs of professional advisers) incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative for its obligations in connection with this Agreement, with any balance of the Securityholders’ Rep Expense Fund not incurred for such purposes to be returned to the Securityholders on a pro rata basis.

(c)

Section 338 Election. No party hereto nor any Affiliate thereof shall make an election under Section 338 of the Code or any similar provision of foreign, state or local law in respect of the purchase and sale of the Company Capital Stock or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.7

Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing any notice required under the federal WARN Act or any similar state statute in respect of the termination after the Closing of the employment of any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in the United States of America, and shall indemnify and hold the Securityholders harmless from any liability arising from any failure of Buyer to comply fully with the foregoing covenant.

8.8

Directors and Officers Insurance. After the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and to continue to provide to any Person who is on the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, officers’ and directors’ liability insurance coverage (“D&O Insurance”) with respect to all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation (each a “D&O Claim”) to the extent that any such D&O Claim is based on, or arises out of the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Closing Date or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at any time prior to the Closing Date, in each case to the extent that any such Claim pertains to any matter or fact arising, existing, or occurring prior to or at the Closing Date, regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, which coverage will be substantially similar to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing D&O Insurance including, (x) an overall coverage amount not less than the overall coverage amount under the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing D&O Insurance and (y) coverage for liability under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act in an amount not less than the coverage amounts for such liabilities under the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing D&O Insurance. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify (in a manner adverse to the beneficiary thereof) any provision in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalents) relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any officers or directors, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date hereof shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the full extent of the law. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company, at its sole expense (which expense shall be deemed to be a Transaction Expense) shall purchase for any Person who is on the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of any member of the Company Group officers’ and directors’ Liability “tail” insurance coverage for a period of six (6) years after the Closing with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expense in connection with any actual or threatened claim or proceeding that is based on, or arises out of, events occurring prior to the Closing. Such “tail” insurance coverage shall be deemed to fulfill the Surviving Corporation’s obligations to provide D&O Insurance set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.8.

8.9

Certain Consents. Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledge that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts or other agreements to which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is a party and that such consents have not been obtained and may not be obtained. Buyer and Merger Sub agree that none of the Company Group or any Securityholder shall have any liability whatsoever to the Buyer Indemnitees (and the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of or loss of right under any such contract or other agreement as a result thereof. Buyer and Merger Sub further agree that no representation, warranty or covenant of any member of the Company Group contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached and no condition

of Buyer shall be deemed not to be satisfied as a result of the failure to obtain any consent or as a result of any such default, acceleration or termination or loss of right or any action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consent or any such default, acceleration or termination or loss of right. Any cooperation furnished by the Company Group to Buyer and Merger Sub in obtaining or pursuing any such consents will not include any requirement of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Securityholder to expend money, commence any litigation or arbitration proceeding, or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party.

8.10

Trust Fund Waiver. The Company and the Securityholders’ Representative hereby represent and warrant that they have read that certain final Prospectus of Buyer dated April 12, 2011 (the “Prospectus”), and the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative understand that Buyer has established a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) for the benefit of Buyer’s public stockholders (the “Public Stockholders”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain additional proceeds, initially in an amount of Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000), for the benefit of the Public Stockholders and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, Buyer may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (i) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (a “Business Combination”), (ii) to the Public Stockholders if Buyer fails to consummate its Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Prospectus, and (iii) to Buyer after or concurrently with the consummation of its Business Combination. For and in consideration of Buyer executing this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund or any distributions therefrom (except for amounts released to Buyer as set forth in clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 8.10), or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Claims”). Each of the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative hereby irrevocably waives any Claims it may have against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Buyer and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, for an alleged breach of this Agreement). The Company and the Securityholders’ Representative each agree and acknowledge that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Buyer to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative each further intend and understand such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law. To the extent the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Buyer, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Buyer, the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative each hereby acknowledge and agree its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Fund (which may include funds that have been disbursed pursuant to clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 8.10 or otherwise) and that such claim shall not permit the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative (or any party claiming on the Company’s or the Securityholders’ Representative’s behalf or in lieu of the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative) to have any claim against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom, other than to Buyer) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or the Securityholders’ Representative commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Buyer, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from the Company and the Securityholders’ Representative the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Buyer prevails in such action or proceeding.
