Section 2.10 Disputes Regarding Closing Statement.

(a) Within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Closing Statement (such period, the “Dispute Period”), the Equityholder Representative may provide written notice to Purchaser disputing any of the calculations in the Closing Statement, including the calculation of the Merger Consideration (the “Dispute”), setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item or amount set forth in the Closing Statement with which the Equityholder Representative disagrees and the basis for the Equityholder Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Dispute Notice”). Any items set forth in the Closing Statement that are not objected to by the Equityholder Representative in such Dispute Notice shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by the Equityholder Representative in the form in which it was delivered and shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Equityholder Representative does not deliver to Purchaser the Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, then the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by the Equityholder Representative in the form in which it was delivered and shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the Equityholder Representative delivers the Dispute Notice to Purchaser within the Dispute Period, then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Dispute Notice, provided that all such discussions shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the corresponding provisions of any state, local or foreign Law. If Xxxxxxxxx agrees with the Equityholder Representative’s calculation of the Merger Consideration in the Dispute Notice, then the Equityholder Representative’s calculation of the Merger Consideration in the Dispute Notice shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(b) If Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative cannot reach agreement to resolve every element of the Dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative will jointly engage the Accountant Expert to resolve the Dispute. The Accountant Expert’s sole function shall be to resolve each element and amount of the Dispute set forth in the Dispute Notice not resolved by Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative (the “Disputed Elements”) as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator, by determining in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles, whether and to what extent, if any, the calculations in the Closing Statement, including the calculation of the Merger Consideration, require adjustment with respect to such Disputed Elements and, if so, the amount of any such adjustment or adjustments.

(c) In resolving the Dispute, the Accountant Expert will limit its consideration to (i) reviewing the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice, as supplemented by written submissions of Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative which may explain the respective Party’s positions, (ii) made strictly in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement and (iii) fixing mathematical errors. In connection with the resolution of the Dispute, there may not be any other hearings or oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other similar Proceedings. The Accountant

- 27 -

Expert may not conduct any independent investigation or review concerning the Disputed Elements or any other matter. Each of Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative will provide to the other Party and the Accountant Expert such documents, books, records and work papers as such Party or the Accountant Expert may reasonably request to review the Closing Statement and to resolve the Dispute.

(d) The Accountant Expert will, within thirty (30) days after its appointment, issue to Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative, in writing, the Accountant Expert’s determination as to each Disputed Element, together with a revised Closing Statement reflecting the Accountant Expert’s decision and a revised calculation of the Merger Consideration based on its calculation performed in accordance with this Agreement and the Accounting Principles. In resolving the Dispute, the Accountant Expert will be bound by this Agreement and may revise no element of the Closing Statement that is not contested by Purchaser or the Equityholder Representative, or assign a value to any Disputed Element greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either such Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Each of the Accountant Expert’s decision, the revised Closing Statement and the revised calculation of the Merger Consideration therein will be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment may be entered thereon absent manifest error. Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative will share the fees and expenses of the Accountant Expert in inverse proportion to the relative amounts subject to the Dispute determined in favor of such Party, in accordance with the following formulas: (i) Purchaser will pay a portion of such fees and expenses equal to the total fees, costs and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute not awarded to Purchaser and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute, and (ii) the Equityholder Representative will pay a portion of such fees, costs and expenses equal to the total fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar amount subject to the Dispute not awarded to the Equityholder Representative and the denominator of which is the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative will pay the fees, costs and expenses of their respective attorneys, accountants and other representatives incurred in connection with the Dispute. The Accountant Expert may not and will not have authority or jurisdiction to resolve or decide any matter or dispute other than, as provided in and in accordance with this Section 2.10, resolving the Dispute by determining whether and to what extent, if any, the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement, including the calculation of the Merger Consideration, delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.9 requires adjustment with respect to any Disputed Elements. Except as expressly authorized and provided in this Section 2.10, any other dispute arising under or with respect to this Agreement (including any dispute over whether any claim, issue or element is within the authority of the Accountant Expert to determine) will be reserved for and determined by a court specified in Section 11.14.

Section 2.11 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Company, the Surviving Company, Purchaser, its Affiliates, the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent and their respective agents will be entitled to deduct and withhold from (a) any payments of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any Equityholder, or (b) any payments other than the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to the Transactions, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of any such payment under the Code or any provision of Law, provided that, except in the case of (i) any withholding required as a result of a failure to deliver the certificate set forth in Section 2.6(b)(xii), (ii) any withholding in connection with any compensatory payment made in connection with this Agreement, or (iii) any withholding required as a result of a failure of any Equityholder to provide an IRS Form W-9, no fewer than five (5) days prior to deducting or withholding any amount pursuant to this Section 2.11, Purchaser shall provide notice to the Equityholder of its determination that such withholding is required by applicable Law and shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the applicable Equityholder to reduce or eliminate such withholding to the maximum extent permissible. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld by the applicable payor and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of whom such withholding was made.

Section 5.17 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Purchaser may determine, in its sole discretion, to obtain debt financing to fund any portion of the Merger Consideration (the “Debt Financing”). Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Company Subsidiary and its and their respective Representatives to, in each case at Purchaser’s sole expense, provide to Purchaser such cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser that is reasonably necessary in arranging, obtaining and syndicating the Debt Financing, if any (provided that such requested cooperation is consistent with applicable Laws and does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Target Companies), including as promptly as reasonably practical, (i) furnishing Purchaser with such pertinent information regarding the Target Companies as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser for the completion of the Debt Financing, if any, (ii) customary authorization and representation letters, each to the extent required in connection with the Debt Financing, authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders, and (iii) timely delivering to Purchaser all available documentation and information as is reasonably requested in writing by Purchaser that is required by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the requirements of 31 C.F.R. §1010.230. The Company hereby consents, on behalf of itself and the Company Subsidiary, to the use of the logos of the Target Companies in connection with the Debt Financing, if any; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor is reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ reputation or goodwill.

- 60 -

each case prior to the Closing; (vii) require the Target Companies or any of their respective directors, managers, officers or employees to execute, deliver or enter into any definitive documentation pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained which is binding and effective that is not contingent upon the Closing; or (viii) require access to or disclosure of information in any manner which would jeopardize attorney-client privilege. None of the Target Companies or any of their respective Representatives will have any liability in connection with the Debt Financing (including under any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing) that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing.

(c) All material, nonpublic information regarding the Target Companies provided to Purchaser or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.17 shall be kept confidential by such Person in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement except for disclosure to potential investors as required in connection with the Debt Financing subject to customary confidentiality protections. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 5.17 for all purposes of this Agreement (including Article VI) unless the Debt Financing has not been obtained primarily as a result of the Company’s willful and intentional breach of its obligations under this Section 5.17.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that obtaining any Debt Financing is not a condition to Closing.

Section 5.18 OP Form 10. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Company Subsidiary and their respective Representatives to, in each case at Purchaser’s sole expense, provide to Purchaser such cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser that is reasonably necessary in connection with the preparation, review and filing of the OP Form 10 (provided that such requested cooperation is consistent with applicable Laws and does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Target Companies), including as promptly as reasonably practical, furnishing Purchaser with such pertinent information regarding the Target Companies as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the preparation, review and filing of the OP Form 10.

In connection with any Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Returns to be prepared by the Equityholder Representative, Purchaser and the Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the Equityholder Representative’s utilization of the Surviving Company’s existing tax return preparation firm(s) (the “Accounting Firm”), including (i) providing reasonable access to the Surviving Company’s books and records and accounting staff and (ii) taking such reasonable steps as may be necessary to cause the Accounting Firm to take direction from the Equityholder Representative.

(ii) At least thirty (30) days prior to the Due Date of any such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return, the Equityholder Representative shall provide to Purchaser a substantially final draft of such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return for Purchaser’s review and consent. If Purchaser disputes any item on such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return, it shall notify the Equityholder Representative (by written notice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return) of such disputed item (or items), the basis for its objection and the proposed revisions, and any dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1(a)(iii). If Purchaser does not object by written notice within such period, such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return shall be deemed to be accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of this Section 7.1(a) and Purchaser, the Equityholder Representative and the Equityholder designated for tax matters shall cooperate in connection with the signing and timely filing of such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return as prepared by the Equityholder Representative.

- 63 -

(iii) Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall act in good faith to resolve any dispute prior to the Due Date of any Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return, and if the parties agree on any such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return, then the parties shall file or cause to be filed the applicable Flow-Through Tax Return in such agreed-upon manner. If Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative cannot resolve any disputed item with respect to any such Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return within a period of fifteen (15) days following the receipt of a written notice of such disputed item(s) pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii), the item in question shall be resolved by the Accountant Expert as promptly as practicable, whose determination shall be final and conclusive for purposes of this Section 7.1(a). The fees and expenses of the Accountant Expert shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Equityholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the parties or, in the case of a dispute, the Accountant Expert, have not resolved a dispute by an applicable Due Date, the parties (other than the Equityholder Representative) shall file or cause to be filed, the applicable Flow-Through Tax Return in such manner as prepared by the Equityholder Representative pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i), and the parties shall amend such Tax Returns to the extent necessary to conform to the parties’ final agreement or the Accountant Expert’s final determination, as the case may be.

Purchaser will be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of, and the Equityholders shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of, the Liability for all sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, documentary, recording, gains, equity transfer, and similar Taxes and fees, and any deficiency, interest, or penalty asserted with respect thereto (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), arising out of or in connection with the Transactions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Purchaser will timely file or cause to be filed all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

Section 7.3 Cooperation. Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, Purchaser, the Target Companies and the Equityholder Representative will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Return and any Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Target Company. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 7.4 Tax Claims.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Equityholder Representative shall have the right to assume and control the defense of each Covered Tax Claim by written notice to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after delivery by the applicable party of the Tax Claim Notice; provided, however, that the Equityholder Representative shall not be entitled to assume and control (or to retain control of) the defense of such Covered Tax Claim if (i) Purchaser reasonably determines at any time that the resolution of such Covered Tax Claim is reasonably expected to have the effect of increasing the Tax Liability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiary) by more than a de minimis amount for any period (or portion of any period) beginning after the Closing Date, (ii) Purchaser or any insurer under the RWI Policy is required to assume such defense pursuant to the terms thereof, or (iii) the Equityholder Representative’s assumption of the defense could cause Purchaser to lose coverage under the RWI Policy.

- 64 -

(c) If the Equityholder Representative properly elects to assume and control the defense of a Covered Tax Claim pursuant to Section 7.4(b), (i) Purchaser shall have the right, directly or through its designated representatives and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made in the course of any Covered Tax Claim (including any administrative appeals thereof), (ii) the Equityholder Representative shall keep Purchaser reasonably notified regarding the progress of such Covered Tax Claim, and (iii) the Equityholder Representative shall not settle any Covered Tax Claim without the consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Equityholder Representative shall provide such cooperation and information as Purchaser shall reasonably request, and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Covered Tax Claim (including participating in any discussions with the applicable Governmental Authorities regarding such Covered Tax Claim).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in connection with any Covered Tax Claim that (i) the Equityholder Representative does not timely and properly elect to control (or cannot elect to control or loses its right to control) pursuant to Section 7.4(b), or (ii) the Equityholder Representative fails to diligently defend, such Covered Tax Claim shall be controlled by Purchaser, and the Equityholder Representative agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in pursuing such Covered Tax Claim and, at the cost and expense of the Equityholders, the Equityholder Representative shall have the rights of Purchaser described in Section 7.4(c) mutatis mutandis.

(e) In connection with any Tax Claim that relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period that is not a Covered Tax Claim, such Tax Claim shall be exclusively controlled by Purchaser. In connection with any Tax Claim described in this Section 7.4(e), Purchaser (i) shall bear its own costs and expenses, (ii) shall be entitled to engage its own counsel, and (iii) may (A) pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Governmental Authority, (B) either pay the Tax claimed or sue for refund where applicable law permits such refund suit or (C) contest, settle or compromise the Tax Claim in any permissible manner.

(f) To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Equityholder shall make, or cause to be made, a timely and valid “push-out” election under Section 6226 of the Code and each analogous election under state or local Law with respect to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date, and the Equityholder Representative shall cooperate fully with each Equityholder and Purchaser and any of their Affiliates in making each such “push-out” election.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the procedures for all Tax Claims shall be governed exclusively by this Section 7.4.

Section 7.5 Post-Closing Actions. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the Equityholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser will not, and will not permit any Target Company to, with respect to a Pre-Closing Flow-Through Tax Return: (a) make, change or rescind any material Tax election outside the ordinary course of business, (b) amend or refile any such Tax Return in a manner that is inconsistent with past practice, (c) file any such Tax Return in a jurisdiction in which any Target Company did not file previously, (d) settle any claim with a Governmental Authority, (e) engage in any voluntary disclosure or similar process with a Governmental Authority, or (f) extend the statute of limitations with respect to any Tax.

- 65 -

Section 7.6 Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local Income Tax purposes, the Parties intend that the Merger shall be treated in accordance with the principles of Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, Situation 2, as follows (the “Intended Tax Treatment”): (a) for Purchaser, as a termination of the Company under Section 708(b)(1) of the Code and deemed liquidating distribution of all assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiary to the Equityholders, followed by the taxable sale of all such assets to Purchaser in exchange for the Estimated Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.8); and (b) for each Equityholder, as a taxable sale of 100% of the Units held by such Equityholders in exchange for the portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration payable to such Equityholder, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.8. No Party shall take any Tax position on any Tax Return, in any Tax Claim or otherwise inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). In the event that any Governmental Authority disputes the Intended Tax Treatment, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and reasonably consult with the other Party concerning the resolution of such dispute and use reasonable best efforts to contest such dispute in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 7.7 Merger Consideration Allocation. No later than one-hundred fifty (150) days after final determination of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article II, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Equityholder Representative a statement allocating the Merger Consideration (as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement) and any liabilities or other relevant items treated as consideration for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes among each of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiary for all applicable Tax purposes (the “Merger Consideration Allocation”) in accordance with applicable Law (including Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) and in a manner consistent with the methodology set forth on Exhibit G (such statement, the “Allocation Statement”). The Equityholder Representative will have fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Allocation Statement (the “Allocation Evaluation Period”) to object to the Allocation Statement by delivery to Purchaser prior to expiration of the Allocation Evaluation Period a notice of objection with reasonable detail of the Equityholder Representative’s objections (an “Allocation Notice of Objection”). If the Equityholder Representative timely delivers an Allocation Notice of Objection to Purchaser, Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith during the 15-day period beginning on the Business Day after the date of delivery of the Allocation Notice of Objection (the “Allocation Resolution Period”) to resolve the Equityholder Representative’s objections. If (a) as a result of such negotiation the parties agree on the Merger Consideration Allocation during the Allocation Resolution Period, or (b) if the Equityholder Representative fails to deliver an Allocation Notice of Objection to Purchaser prior to expiration of the Allocation Evaluation Period, then such allocation will be final and binding on the Parties and none of the Parties will take or cause to be taken any position or other action inconsistent with such allocation for any Tax reporting purpose, upon examination of any Tax Return, in any refund claim, or in any Proceeding or otherwise, unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of other applicable Law). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.7 (including Exhibit G) if the Parties are unable to resolve all disputes set forth in the Allocation Notice of Objection within the Allocation Resolution Period, however, the Parties will have no further obligation under this Section 7.7, and each party shall make its own determination of the allocation of the Merger Consideration for Tax reporting purposes.

Section 8.3 Reliance. Each Equityholder, upon execution of a Letter of Transmittal, shall be deemed to have, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and Equityholder’s successors and permitted assigns, xxxxxx agrees to the following:

(a) In all matters in which action by the Equityholder Representative is required or permitted, the Equityholder Representative is authorized to act on behalf of such Equityholder, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and such Equityholder’s successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among Equityholder or their respective successors or permitted assigns or between any Equityholder or any Equityholder’s successors and permitted assigns and the Equityholder Representative, and Purchaser and Xxxxxx Sub will be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Equityholder Representative under this Agreement without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Equityholder or any Equityholder’s successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding any knowledge on the part of Purchaser of any such dispute or disagreement. Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company will be fully protected in dealing with the Equityholder Representative under this Agreement (or any other Transaction Document) and may rely upon the authority of the Equityholder Representative to act on behalf of each Equityholder and none of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability to any Equityholder as a result of such reliance.

(b) Notice to the Equityholder Representative, delivered in the manner provided in Section 11.3, will be deemed to be notice to all Equityholders and their respective successors and permitted assigns for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) The power and authority of the Equityholder Representative, as described in this Agreement, will continue in force until all rights and obligations of Equityholders and their respective successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement terminate, expire or are fully performed.

(d) A majority-in-interest of Equityholders and their respective successors and permitted assigns will have the right, exercisable from time to time upon written notice delivered to the Equityholder Representative and Purchaser, to remove the Equityholder Representative, with or without cause, and to appoint a successor to fill a vacancy caused by the death, resignation or removal of the Equityholder Representative.

(e) If the Equityholder Representative resigns or is removed or otherwise ceases to function in his capacity as such for any reason whatsoever, and no successor is appointed pursuant to Section 8.3(d) within thirty (30) days, then Purchaser will have the right to appoint an Equityholder or a successor or permitted assign thereof to act as the Equityholder Representative to serve as described in this Agreement.

Section 8.4 Exculpation and Indemnification of the Equityholder Representative. The Equityholder Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Equityholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. Each Equityholder (and each Equityholder’s successors and permitted assigns) will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Equityholder Representative against any losses, liabilities, expenses, and damages (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Equityholder Representative, the Equityholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Equityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Equityholder Representative Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Equityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while the Equityholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Equityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on

- 68 -

liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Equityholder Representative hereunder. Each Equityholder’s (and each Equityholder’s successors’ and permitted assigns’) obligations, including the foregoing indemnities, with respect to the Equityholder Representative under this Section 8.4 will survive the Closing the resignation or removal of the Equityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement and continue indefinitely (and will not merge into any instrument of conveyance or be limited in duration by any applicable statute of limitations or otherwise). The Equityholder Representative will be entitled to retain counsel and to incur such expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) as the Equityholder Representative deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement. All fees and expenses incurred by the Equityholder Representative in performing its duties hereunder or the Paying Agent Agreement will be borne by the Equityholders and their respective successors and permitted assigns (severally as to each Equityholder (or such Equityholder’s successor or permitted assigns) only and not jointly as to or with any other Equityholder (or such Equityholder’s successor or permitted assigns)); provided, however, that the Equityholder Representative may cause Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to deduct such fees and expenses from the amounts otherwise distributable to Equityholders or their respective successors and permitted assigns and pay such amounts to the Equityholder Representative. In particular, the Equityholders acknowledge that the Equityholder Representative Payment is being deposited by Purchaser, upon the Closing, into any account designated by the Equityholder Representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to pay the fees and expenses of the Equityholder Representative hereunder, and to provide for indemnification of the Equityholder Representative under this Section 8.4.

Section 8.5 Distribution of the Equityholder Representative Fund. The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Equityholder Representative Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Equityholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Equityholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. At such time that the Equityholder Representative believes, in its sole discretion, that no such additional fees or expenses will be incurred and no such additional indemnification will be required, the Equityholder Representative will deposit with the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Equityholders all remaining funds from the Equityholder Representative Fund (the “Remaining Equityholder Representative Fund”) pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement. For Tax purposes, the Equityholder Representative Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Equityholders at the time of Closing.

The Parties understand and specifically agree that PC may, in connection with the Transactions, represent the Equityholders and the Equityholder Representative, even if the interests of the Equityholders and the interests of the Company or the Surviving Company are or may be adverse, including in connection with any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and even though PC may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Company or any of its Affiliates, and Purchaser, Merger Sub, and the Company hereby consent thereto and waive any conflict of interest arising therefrom.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties intend that all communications at or prior to the Closing between the Company and the Equityholders, on the one hand, and any of their attorneys, on the other hand, including all communications relating to the negotiation of the Transactions and any alternative transactions (collectively, the “Protected Communications”), and all associated rights to assert, waive and otherwise administer the attorney-client privilege and rights of confidentiality of the Company or the Equityholders (the “Associated Rights”), will, from and after the Closing, rest exclusively with the Equityholders and the Equityholder Representative and will not be

- 76 -

transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered, by operation of law or otherwise, to Purchaser, Merger Sub or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Purchaser Group”). Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that, as of immediately prior to the Closing, for the consideration set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged: (i) all Protected Communications and Associated Rights are, and will be deemed for all purposes, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered in full to the Equityholders, and (ii) no member of the Purchaser Group (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company) will have any right, title, interest or benefit in or to any of the Protected Communications or any Associated Rights. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge the decision of the Delaware Chancery Court in Great Hill Equity Partners IV, LP, et al. v. SIG Growth Equity Fund, I, LLLP, et al. (Civil Action No. 7905-CS, November 15, 2013) and desire to expressly exclude the Protected Communications and Associated Rights from the assets, rights, privileges and benefits of the Company that might otherwise be transferred or assigned to any member of the Purchaser Group by operation of law or otherwise.

(c) Each of Purchaser and Merger Sub hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other members of the Purchaser Group (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Company), from and after the Closing, that the Equityholders (i) will have the right to take possession and control of all Protected Communications effective as of the Closing, and (ii) if and to the extent the Equityholders fail to take such possession and control (which failure will not, alone or in association with any other act or omission, be deemed a waiver of any of its rights under this Section 11.15), the Equityholders will have the right to access and copy, from time to time, any Personal Information in the possession or control of any member of the Purchaser Group from and after the Closing, during normal business hours and with reasonable prior written notice, as may be reasonably necessary in connection with any post-Closing matter, whether or not such matter is known to any member of the Purchaser Group, in each, in the Equityholders sole cost and expense. If and to the extent that, at any time from and after the Closing, any member of the Purchaser Group will have any right or opportunity to assert or waive an attorney-client privilege or right of confidentiality with respect to any Protected Communication, each member of the Purchaser Group will not, and will cause the other members of the Purchaser Group not to, waive such privilege or right of confidentiality without the prior written consent of the Equityholder Representative (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion).

Section 11.16 Parent Guarantee. The Parent hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment and performance of all of the payment and other obligations of Purchaser and Merger Sub in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Parent Obligations”), in each case, when and to the extent that, any such Parent Obligations shall become due and payable; provided, however, that the Parent shall be subject to the limitations set forth herein and shall succeed to all rights of Purchaser hereunder. The Parent agrees that the guaranty set forth in this Section 11.16 is a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectability, and that the Company shall not be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against Purchaser or any other Person, or to enforce or resort to any other rights or remedies hereunder, before calling on the Parent for payment or performance. The Parent agrees that if, for any reason, Purchaser shall fail or be unable to pay or perform, punctually and fully, any of the Parent Obligations, the Parent shall pay or perform such Parent Obligations to the Company in full immediately upon demand. The Parent agrees that the obligations of the Parent pursuant to this Section 11.16 shall be primary obligations, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off, abatement, deferment or defense based upon any claim that the Parent may have against the Company or any other Person, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or affected in any way by any circumstance or condition (whether or not the Parent shall have any knowledge thereof). The execution, delivery and performance by the Parent of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Parent. The Parent has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and assuming the due

- 77 -

authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement constitute its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.
